Trinity Ghoul

"I couldn't afford to miss. Not when it was his life on the line." —Marin Mansanas, Tangled Outrider

"Marin Mansanas…" the Rifleman's voice hissed over her comm. "I did not think you would show."

Marin spat onto the dusty ground, scuffed it with the heel of her boot. Squinted across the flat, dusty expanse of the High Plains. Ignored the Rifleman to address the other person on the channel, ex-Corsair Errol Mayz, who stood alone just over seven hundred meters from her position with his hands bound behind his back and a canister of ether balanced on his head.

"Errol, you son of a tech witch."

She could see his shoulders shift in an attempt at a casual shrug. His gruff voice tickled her ear through the comm. "Sorry, Rin."

"You know the wager." The Rifleman didn't like to be ignored. "Get on with it. If you think you can make the shot."

Marin's eyes flicked to the hills of rubble dotting the High Plains, looking for the Rifleman's perch. Almost a sure thing the four-armed lunk on the far ridge was just another of the braggart's decoys, but no point risking Errol's life over a guess. "I can make the shot. And I expect you to honor this wager when you're down a K of ether and I'm walking outta here with Mayz."

Rough alien laughter was the only reply.

She pulled three arrows out of her quiver and whispered, "Pom, whatever happens, don't come out." Her Ghost answered her with a pulse of warmth in her left hand.

Two arrows she tucked into her belt. The third she nocked to her old friend, Trinity Ghoul.

Errol's voice returned, so low she could almost feel hot breath on her ear.

"Hey, Rin."

"Don't talk. Don't breathe."

"Just don't miss. Okay?"

"Good idea."

"You know what I mean."

Marin pulled the Ghoul taut, lined up her shot with the canister perched atop Errol's scruffy blue head.

"Yeah," she said. "I know."

If this never got a catalyst it still would bee my least favorite bow in the game, but the catalyst makes it so enjoyable to use in PvE that its one of the best ad clear guns in the game, hands down.

In 12 days since the start of Season of Hunt, I have already killed more than 15,000 mobs with this bow. Without a catalyst, it's pretty average, but with a catalyst... I don't even aim, I just shoot towards the pack of mobs and they die. That being said, I can still kill snipers without problems. Need to generate a lot of Orb of Power (20-40 per strike)? Easy! Need to kill mobs behind cover? E-A-S-Y! Insane bow.

Pair this with Tarantula (Linear Fusion Rifle) with both breathing and field prep perks to clear barrier and overload champions. Champions VANISH with this combo. Overload mods to stagger overloads. The DPS of the bow, SPECIFICALLY IN ARC SINGE LOST SECTORS, can do great chip damage to a barrier champion (while aiming down sights) and lower first hp bar to 1/4. This won't trigger barrier champ shield. This sets you up for a 2-Shot Tarantula PRECISION pop on barrier champs. EZ lost sectors.

It is an amazing weapon in pve it will clear a swarm instantly and make you feel godly , but in pvp the spit arrow is not ideal, and the chain lightning rarely comes into play

Very good weapon for ad clearing in PvE, even better with its catalyst. It lacks in PvP because it needs its perk to one shot, catalyst helps in PvP

Amazing weapon all around. Got myself about 1000+ pvp kills with it. The low TTK and such and more then made up for by how little people think about it in a PVP environment. People just forget lightning rod exists. With ace? If someone gets a kill you know they have mori up and ready, but people don’t prepare for the arc shockwave. Pair it with middle tree Arc on warlock, and you can kill in 0.023 seconds with a nade or melee

This was a very underwhelming exotic to start out. Come nearly two laters with a catalyst and that transformed it into one of the best primaries for add clearing In PvE. It’s no riskrunner, but the upgrade allows you to pair any arc type damage to activate Lightning Rod when you draw this bow out again. No longer will you have to aim for precision kills to trigger it. And it’s one of the few primaries in the game that has the potential to take out multiple enemies in one shot.

Trinity Ghoul was already the king in PVE for bows ever since it's catalyst came out, but now with Arc 3.0 it's gone even another echelon above that. Need amplified? This bow will get you amplified. Need a lightning rod proc? Just throw a storm grenade (especially if you're a titan), let it kill one thing (currently impossible for it to not do), and now your bow is supercharged again. The fact that the catalyst lets it proc from any arc kill is absolutely insane. The only thing this thing can't do is boss damage, but that's not why you take an exotic primary.

Maybe in a few seasons when arc classes get nerfed and the synergy isn't as strong this will be irrelevant, but I feel like even then I'd give this thing 5 stars in PVE. It's undeniably one of the best minor clears in the game, and that's including most special ammo exotics. In PVP you can still do some goofy things with it, especially if you get an arc kill with a grenade or melee, but i'd rather bring other bows for the most part.

Not all too good in PVP, it's a nice-ish bow and that's kind of it. But for PvE this is a monster with the catalyst, no question, even without the catalyst it's still better than most legendary bows and most exotic ones with what's essentially improved dragonfly.

After Beyond light, and the addition of the Catalyst, this thing is a beast. Absolutely god tier. Shreds Adds like nothing else.

It's... It's trinity Ghoul, what else can I say? The thing is AMAZING for PVE, I used this for mass orbs of light farming on reckoning, it's an incredible tool for PVE.

The catalyst for Trinity Ghoul has quite simply fixed it for PvE. Bows need a little more something in general for PvP, but Trinity Ghoul can go on an absolute rampage with it's Exotic perk active.
Excellent for finishing that 150 arc kills bounty while doing the bow bounties on the side whie pissing off your strike fireteam trying to do similar bounties, 10/10 I don't read team chat anyway.

also bow gang.

With the catalyst, this bow turns from an oversized taser into Zeus's middle finger. One kill gets you a free ad-clear button that can hypothetically be sustained infinitely, if you always have clumps of enemies around and a shred of accuracy.
In PvP, there are a lot of better options. The only way I can see this ever being a prime option is in select situations in Zone Control or Iron Banner, where you manage a kill and zap a bunch of other Guardians in the process.

Every “crazy ad clear build” you find is basically trying to compete with a new light running a trinity ghoul. You don’t need builds you don’t need mods you don’t need armor. You just need the catalyst and you can chain thousands of kills on end without a brain. Best weapon in the game for 90% of content.

You thought bow swapping with a hand cannon was strong? try bow swapping with a trinity ghoul. Also, if someone is running at you you can just shoot the floor in front of them and melee and the person will just die so it is probably one of the stronger bows for really close quarters engagements when you have lightning rod. Especially when you have arc hunter and basically all of your melees count as arc damage and will refund Lightning Rod.
