Throughout the time you play throughZenless Zone Zero, collecting Agents to help you progress through the game is key, and building good relationships with them is just as important as getting to know how they fight.
Building those relationships is based on Trust, which not only can help make your Agents stronger in combat but can also unlock unique conversations and more content. However, improving that Trust can take time, so here are some of the best ways to strengthen Trust with your Agents and get the most out of your team.

How To Build Trust In Zenless Zone Zero
Each Agent in ZZZ has its development of Trust, which determineshow good your relationship with that specific Agent is. Improving the Trust Level is limited tothree key avenues:
When Trust builds,each Agent hasfour different Trust levels, and reaching a new level unlocks new rewards for you to claim. To look into what level of Trust you currently have with your Agents, go toyour Workbench at home in the Video Storeand click on the’Partner Archive'. It will split all your agents into their respective groups, which can be selected and viewed.

The level will bemarked by the bar in the middle of the screen, and this is also the same tab whereyou can collect Trust Rewards from the button on the bottom righttitled “Trust Reward” when you reach a new level.
How To Complete Agent Invites
To complete Agent Invites and build more Trust with your Agents, simplyfollow the requirements listed in the Partner Archive for your respective Agent. It will mention not only what specific missions need to be completed, but what general tasks need to be done to improve the Trust level.
For players who struggle to find the DM tab where you can talk to allies and continue to develop Trust via Agent Invites,the first barrier in-game revolves around completing the Anby’s Problem mission, which requires theplayer to be at least at the Inter-Knot Level 31andhave completed the Chapter 2 Intermission.

If you are below that level, theDM tab for contacting allies will not appear, and it will show in your Partner Archive.
When those goals are accomplished,Agents will start to DM you through your DM page, in their specific tab which will be the leftmost option on the screen. If not,you can also start a conversation by choosing the Agent in the same DM tab and pressing Send.
Then, as the conversation begins,choose the dialogue options that will be best for your specific Agent.
To know their personality, make sure to look into their Agent details in the Partner Archive, which will give plenty of information on what the Agent likes.
When starting a conversation with an Agent through DMs,the face above the Agent description will show you the current Trust level that you havewith them. The better the Trust, the happier the face will be.
If the conversations go well, youcan meet up in the world with the Agents and continue the conversations, still choosing dialogue options that are favourable to the specific Agent. Just know that theseoverworld meetings with Agents are limited per day, so use that to your advantage.
Last but not least, when you reach new Trust Levels with Agents,there is a chance that they will ask you to complete an Advancement Task. These tasksoffer additional rewardsoutside the Trust Reward system. This will not only make that specific Agent stronger in combat but build more of a true relationship with these allies thathelp you get through the dangers that are Hollows.
