A Trapper is a Border agent who specializes in the use of Trap Triggers.
Specifics
[edit | edit source]The Trapper position is one of the 9 official positions available to Border agents, one of the 7 directly involved in combat, and one of the 3 a C-rank trainee seemingly cannot work towards.[2] This is because the Trigger that classifies the user as a Trapper, Switchbox, does not appear to be available to anyone below B-rank.[2] The exact requirements to become a Trapper are unknown, as is whether there is a ranking for this position.
Overview
[edit | edit source]The primary duty of a Trapper seem to be assisting teammates in moving around the field,[3] fitting the role of this class a supporting one.[4] However, they also possess marks capable of inflicting damage and to impede opponents.[5] Overall, Trappers seem to fight stealthily, laying their traps while remaining hidden.[1] Additionally, Trappers cannot participate in solo rank wars due to the nature of the position.[6]

Q: Can Trappers like Fuyushima participate in solo Rank Wars?
A: Due to the nature of the Trapper position, they cannot participate in solo Rank Wars or combined training. There are still only a small number of Trappers, so they exchange information and research within themselves.
