Perform Training

When you perform each Training, the Friendship Gauge of the character displayed in the upper right of the selection screen will increase. Basically, you will increase the Friendship Gauge through Training.
Look Out for Skill Hints
Sometimes a ! mark will be displayed on the character in the upper right. In that case, not only will the Friendship Gauge increase, but you can also obtain a "Skill Hint".
Increase/Decrease in Events

The Friendship Gauge increases or decreases when an event occurs. It usually increases, but be aware that some events may cause it to decrease.
Effects of the Friendship Gauge
Friendship Training Occurs

When you perform Training while the Friendship Gauge is orange or higher and the Support Card's type matches, Friendship Training will occur. This increases base stats more than regular Training, so you'll want to do it whenever possible.
Affects Event Occurrence

There are also events that occur when the Friendship Gauge reaches a certain level. One example is the Recreation event that occurs when the Support Card Hayakawa Tazuna is in the deck.
