Grace Strengths and Weaknesses
| Strengths | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| • Most of Grace's DMG can be triggered even if she's not on the field. • EX Special Attack doesn't require a lot of energy. • Very easy to use on-field. • A must have for teams centered on Shock. | |||
| Weaknesses | |||
| • Damage dealt isn't straightforward, so Grace may be tricky to use in Time Attack challenges. |
Grace is a strong and mobile Anomaly unit who specializes in dealing damage through Shock. Enemies affected with Shock can take damage even if Grace isn't active, so she can be used with an Attack unit to deal the most amount of damage possible.

|---|---|---|---|
| GraceAnomaly | AnbyStun | SoukakuSupport | Electroboo |

Anton can deal increased damage against Shocked enemies, so better save him for last once all is said and done.
Grace Best W-Engines
Recommended W-Engines
| W-Engine | Effect | |
|---|---|---|

| 4 | Magnetic Storm - Alpha | Disordered Current Accumulating Anomaly Buildup increases the equipper's Anomaly Mastery by 25 for 10s. This effect can trigger once every 20s. |
All W-Engine (Weapon) Guides
Fusion Compiler is the Best for Grace
Fusion Compiler is Grace's best W-Engine since it increases both her ATK and Anomaly Proficiency. Fusion Compiler also has PEN Ratio, which helps ignore enemy DEF.
Grace Best Drive Discs
Best Drive Discs and Set Bonuses
| Drive Disc | Rating and Merits |
|---|---|
| Freedom Blues (4-pc) Swing Jazz (2-pc) | ★★★ - Best Set! Freedom Blues increases Grace's Anomaly Proficiency and reduce the Anomaly Buildup RES of enemies. Swing Jazz increases Grace's Energy Regen so that she can get out more EX Special Attack. |
| Thunder Metal (4-pc) Swing Jazz (2-pc) | ★★☆ - 2nd Best Thunder Metal increases Grace's ATK as long as the enemy is Shocked, which will always be the case since Grace provides the Shock. |
Grace Skill Priority
| Skill | Priority | Priority |
|---|---|---|
 Core Skill | ★★★★★ | Grace's Core Skill increases her Electric Anomaly Buildup, which increases the chances of Grace inflicting Shock on enemies. |
 Basic Attack | ★★☆☆☆ | Upgrading Grace's Basic Attack is unnecessary as most of her DMG comes from the Shock status. |
 Dodge | ★☆☆☆☆ | Once again, Grace's DMG comes from the Shock status, so upgrading Grace's dodge is unnecessary. |
 Assist | ★☆☆☆☆ | Grace's Assist only increases the damage, so this can also be left out. |
 Special Attack | ★★★★★ | When Grace is on the field, you will mostly be using her Special Attacks. |
 Chain Attack | ★★★☆☆ | Upgrading Grace's Chain Attack should be saved for last since it deals a decent amount of AoE DMG. |
Grace should focus on leveling up her Core Skill and Special Attack to maximize the damage she deals and the anomaly buildup she needs. Afterwards, try leveling her Chain Attack to deal a decent amount of AoE DMG but it is not as important as the first two.
Core Skill
| Core | Basic | Dodge | Asst | Spe | Chain |
| Skill Effects |
|---|
| Core Passive - Pre-Driven Needle When Grace's Basic Attack or Dash Attack hits an enemy and deals Physical DMG, she gains 1 stack of Zap (up to 8 stacks). Upon reaching the maximum stacks, using a Special Attack or EX Special Attack will consume all stacks of Zap, increasing the accumulated Electric Anomaly Buildup by 65%. |
| Additional Ability - Tech Support Dept. When another character in your squad shares the same Attribute or Faction: Upon hitting an enemy with an EX Special Attack, the next Shock DMG inflicted on the target increases Shock DMG by 18%. This effect can stack up to 2 times, and each enemy can trigger it once per skill use. Resets when the Shock effect ends. |
Core Skill Enhancements
| Total Core Stat Upgrade Bonus |
|---|
| Anomaly Mastery +36 Base ATK +75 |
| Final Core Passive Upgrade Effect |
| When Grace's Basic Attack or Dash Attack hits an enemy and deals Physical DMG, she gains 1 stack of Zap (up to 8 stacks). Upon reaching the maximum stacks, using a Special Attack or EX Special Attack will consume all stacks of Zap, increasing the accumulated Electric Anomaly Buildup by 130%. |

How to Play Grace
- Get Zap Stacks with Basic and Dash Attacks
- EX Special Attack Increases Shock DMG
- Grace Optimal Combo
Get Zap Stacks with Basic and Dash Attacks
Use Grace's Basic and Dash Attacks to stack up Zap. You can see how many Zap stacks you have below Grace's HP bar if she's the active character.
Once Grace has 8 Zap Stacks, she can use her Special Attack to consume all of them and increase her Electric Anomaly Buildup. Electric Anomaly Buildup helps build up the Anomaly meter much faster to inflict Shock.
EX Special Attack Increases Shock DMG
Speaking of her Special Attack, if you use Grace's EX Special Attack on an enemy, the damage dealt by Shock gets increased the next time it's triggered.
Grace Optimal Combo
| Grace Shock Combo |
|---|
| Basic Attack / Dash Attack until you get 8 Zap stacks → Special Attack → Repeat Until Enemy is Shocked → EX Special Attack → Switch to Ally |
When using Grace, you want to stack up Zap and then use your Special Attack. Repeat this until the enemy is Shocked.
Before switching to the next character, use Grace's EX Special Attack to increase the Shock DMG.

Grace Mindscape Cinema (Duplicates)
Recommended Cinema
| Why We Recommend It | |
|---|---|
| M1 | ★★☆☆☆ - Okay Grace's Basic Attack 4 can help restore energy to the entire party. The energy restoration is only minimal so it doesn't change much. |
| M2 | ★★★★★ - Amazing Grace now can reduce Electric RES and enemies have a bigger chance of getting Shocked. This increases Grace's effectiveness by a lot. |
| M4 | ★★★★☆ - Great Grace can easily accumulate 6 Charge stacks after one use of her EX Special Attack. These Charges can be consumed through her Basic and Dash Attacks and restore Grace's energy at a faster rate. |
| M6 | ★★★☆☆ - Good Grace's EX Special Attack fires an extra grenade and can deal a lot of damage. Since Grace's Special Attack is frequently used, this increases her overall damage on the field. |
M3 and M5 are excluded since they are only for skill enhancement.
