The best way to increase the Affinity of an individual ship girl is to just use them in battle. The combat in the game is pretty simple, you just need to complete stages and destroy the end boss. Each stage is a little bit like a game board where you progress in a linear forward format. Sometimes you’ll get a chance to evade enemies as well. Before making that choice, look at the percentage you have of evading to see if it’s worth it.

How to Make a Ship Girl Your Secretary in Azur Lane

Something you can also do if you want to boost a specific unit is to put them as your Secretary, the main unit that stays on your homepage.
