How to increase trust level in Zenless Zone Zero
To increase your trust level with characters in Zenless Zone Zero, you have toseek them outin various places throughout the day and choose the right dialogue options to further your relationship. After you hang out with them enough, you’ll receive special commissions that will move you to the next trust rank upon completion.
