Overview
In the future, a pair of androids created by Dr. Gero ravaged the Earth. Trunks, the son of Vegeta and Bulma, went back in time in the hopes of changing history so that the devastation he grew up with would be averted. Unfortunately his timeline was not fixed, so he would go on to help fight for the timeline he had created, in order to stop the fearsome Cell. Later, his time-travelling shenanigans would come back to bite him, with Goku Black and Zamasu coming to destroy all he had hoped to protect, and punish him for the divine taboo he had broken.
In Dragon Ball FighterZ, Trunks is a quick and offense-orientated character who thrives on pressure and gaining momentum. With various aggressive tools and the help of his allies, he can force opponents to stay defensive and eat his sword until their guard finally cracks.

Trunks slides forward along the ground with a low kick. Because of the distance it covers, it can be a good poke when you are on the ground. However, because it hits low to the ground, it can be more vulnerable to opponents jumping or trying to super dash than his 5M so be careful. |

Good keep-away move when canceled into j.214M. Can be canceled into j.214L instead to flip closer to the opponent but can be easily punished, or if you have the meter you can combo into 236H from this, giving Trunks sliding knockdown. Can use an assist to cover the landing and keep the opponent blocking to move in freely. Just make sure this hits the opponent in some form, because you do NOT want to suffer the huge recovery on whiff. |

Very good combo tool in the corner, as you can easily combo into 236L from this, or Superdash, as it has higher hitstun than it did before. Also has some use in blockstrings if you do 236M j.S, which will catch reflect and allow you to get a vanish. |

An all round good assist. It covers a good part of the screen closer up and can't be super dashed through just like the on point version. This can be very useful for limiting an opponent's options once you're in range, helping you approach more easily. However, please note that similar to when Trunks is on point, he'll do a dash forward before doing it. This creates a bit of dead zone where the attack doesn't hit directly in front of your character so be sure to learn the spacing for when to use this assist in neutral. As with the point version, Trunks will simply power through ki blasts, further adding to this assists utility in neutral. In pressure, it's both good for helping you extend your pressure as well as converting mixups you normally wouldn't be able to like the universal overhead. The giant blast can be pretty good at making it a little harder to see what's going on so it can help with mixups as well. Its long untech frames allow it to be a very powerful combo extender, as many characters can get easy extensions off of it, both midscreen and in the corner. The way the move hits the opponent also helps as a corner carry tool of sorts. It's not as easy to combo out of as it was before, but is still incredibly strong. |

It's a beam! Hurray! Trunks' B assist is very solid, while slightly worse than the Kamehamehas of Super Saiyan Goku and Goku Black due to it having very slightly less blockstun, is still a very good beam assist, and is a great option for most teams. However, choosing this over Assist A is not as easy as it seems, though it is still a better option in most cases. In some matchups, such as versus DBZ Broly, you may want to stick with Change the Future as it's ability to reflect ki blasts and it's closer, slightly faster usage might be more useful. However, for most characters, Masenko is the way to go, as it gives your team a great neutral option off of Trunks, and helps to extend combos. |
Assist C
Continuous Slash Assist C |

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Trunks teleports to the opponent and performs two slashes (5H and 2H) before ending in a slash that knocks them down (j.5H). It's very solid as a combo tool, as it does not use up Smash at all, and used in combos it has almost instant startup, making combos into it very easy to do. It can a bit hard to use in other situations, such as in neutral or in blockstrings, given how much recovery it takes for C assists to return. While it's a very solid option, the other two assists that Trunks offers are so good that it's hard to choose Assist C over those two. |
