Upgrading Bangboo in Zenless Zone Zero will help you obtain stronger Bangboo, which in turn will increase the positive effects and buffs they have on your team, as well as how useful they are as a combat companion.

As with upgrading other parts of your team in Zenless Zone Zero, you will need to visit a specific place to be able to boost the level and stats of your Bangboo pals . Also, upgrading your Bangboo and levelling them up are two different things...

Without further ado, here's how to Upgrade Bangboo in Zenless Zone Zero. Plus, we explain how to level-up Bangboo.

How to Upgrade Bangboo

You can upgrade your Bangboo by visiting the Remodeling Shop - Turbo in New Eridu City in Zenless Zone Zero. You'll unlock this during Chapter one: Intermission. After your first big venture into Hollow Zero you'll meet Enzo and he'll give you Bagboo to look after.

Here's how to upgrade your Bangboo:

  1. Select the Bangboo you want to upgrade.
  2. Select the Star Bar underneath the 'Levels' bar on the menu on the right side of the screen.

  4. At the bottom of this small menu is an 'Update' button and above this is an image that shows you what materials are required for the update (usually a specific Bangboo's Core, such as a Sumboo Core).

How to level-up Bangboo

Now, in true HoYoverse fashion, levelling up a Bangboo is different to upgrading your Bangboo's in Zenless Zone Zero.

Here's how to level-up your Bangboo:

  1. Go to the Remodeling Shop - Turbo in New Eridu City.
  2. Select the Bangboo you want to level up.
  3. Then, click the 'Level' bar at the top of the small menu on the right side of your screen.
