About Arknights Trust System

The Trust system in Arknights represents the bond between operators and the Doctor (player). As operators fight alongside you and work in your base, they develop trust that translates into tangible stat improvements. Understanding and optimizing trust farming is crucial for maximizing your operators' potential in challenging content.

Trust Levels and Benefits

Trust ranges from 0% to 200%, with significant milestones at 100% and 200%. At 100% trust, operators receive their maximum stat bonuses, which typically include increased HP and ATK. The exact bonuses vary by operator but generally provide substantial improvements to combat effectiveness.

Support units require 200% trust to provide full bonuses, as they operate at half trust when borrowed. This makes maximizing trust on your support operators particularly valuable for helping other players.

Trust Point Requirements

Trust progression is non-linear, requiring increasingly more points at higher levels. The trust point requirements for major milestones are:

• 25% Trust: 804 points
• 50% Trust: 2,732 points
• 75% Trust: 6,195 points
• 100% Trust: 10,070 points
• 150% Trust: 17,820 points
• 200% Trust: 25,570 points

How to Use This Trust Calculator

Our comprehensive trust calculator helps you plan the most efficient path to reach your trust goals. Here's how to get the most out of this tool:

Basic Calculation

Start by setting your operator's current trust level and your target trust level using the sliders. The calculator will automatically compute the trust points needed and update the progress visualization. This gives you an immediate understanding of how much farming lies ahead.

Optimizing Farming Strategy

Select your preferred farming stage from the dropdown menu. Higher-cost stages are generally more efficient for pure trust farming, but consider your other needs like materials and experience. The calculator accounts for squad size, as all operators in your squad gain trust regardless of deployment.

Event Bonuses

During trust events (typically offering 50% bonus trust), enable the event bonus option for more accurate calculations. These events significantly reduce farming time and should be prioritized for trust farming activities.

RIIC Integration

Input your base configuration to see how passive RIIC trust farming contributes to your goals. Higher dormitory ambience increases the daily trust cap, making RIIC farming more effective for long-term trust accumulation.

Advanced Trust Farming Tips

Maximize your trust farming efficiency with these proven strategies developed by the Arknights community:

Stage Selection Strategy

Choose stages based on your overall farming goals. For pure trust farming, stages like 1-7 offer the lowest sanity cost but may not be resource-efficient. Mid-tier stages like 4-4 or 5-3 provide a good balance of trust gain and useful materials. Late-game stages offer the highest trust per clear but require significant sanity investment.

Squad Optimization

Always fill your squad with 12 operators when trust farming, even if you only deploy a few. All squad members gain trust equally, making this the most efficient use of your sanity. Prioritize operators you plan to use in future content or those needed for upcoming challenges.

RIIC Base Optimization

Maximize your dormitory ambience to increase daily RIIC trust gains. Operators assigned to base facilities gain trust daily at 4:00 AM UTC-7. RIIC Assistants gain trust twice daily (4:00 AM and 4:00 PM UTC-7) and have higher trust caps, making them excellent candidates for passive farming.

Event Priority

During trust events, prioritize trust farming over other activities when possible. The 50% bonus significantly reduces the sanity required to reach trust milestones. Plan your farming calendar around these events for maximum efficiency.

Long-term Planning

Consider your roster development timeline when planning trust farming. Newer operators may benefit more from immediate trust investment, while established operators can be gradually improved through RIIC farming. Balance active farming with passive gains for sustainable progress.
