Completing the Senior Proxy Rank-Up Mission
When starting the trial, make sure you have the right team for it. The game lets you know that the recommended attribute for this trial is Electric.
You can make a very strong Electric attribute team with characters like Grace in it. Check our guide for the best teams for Grace in Zenless Zone Zero. The game has a bunch of strong Electric attribute agents to choose from for your team.
The trial itself will require you to take on 3 very strong enemies one by one. All 3 fights can be treated as boss battles, as they are the only enemies in front of you. Try to take down the enemies as fast as possible, as that will give you better rewards for completing the trial.
Once the trial is complete, you’ll get rewarded for your efforts through valuable resources and items. Alongside that, you’ll also permanently increase your max Inter-Knot level to 40.
