Quick Links
With the wayZenless Zone Zerowas marketed, it was fairly clear that the developers had put a ton of focus on the game’s combat. This became even more evident after seeing the diversity in characters by dividing them into different Attributes and specialties, with each specialty allowing for a specific play style.
Grace is one of the perfect examples of this. Being a five-star standard Anomaly character, she doesn’t rely on the generic Crit builds that most other HoYoverse game characters need. You’ll have to build her differently if you want her to be strong.
Best Grace Builds
The first step after getting any character through thegacha system of Zenless Zone Zerois to find the best W-Engine and Drive Discsfor them based on the availability of your account. Thankfully, Grace has quite a few choices when it comes to this:
1
Fusion Compiler
Apart from giving her some much-needed stats like PEN Ratio and ATK,this Engine can also increase Grace’s Anomaly Proficiencyevery time she uses any form of Special Attack.
This is quite easy to stack up, making this thebest W-Engine for her.
2
Electro-Lip Gloss
If you may buy the premium tier of the battle pass, you’ll enjoy adecent Anomaly Proficiency, ATK, and DMG bonuswith this W-Engine on Grace.
3
Rainforest Gourmet
Looking at the four-star options, Rainforest Gourmet will be one of your best choicessimply because of the extra Anomaly Proficiency provided. The ATK boost from the passive can also be quite nice every time you use the EX Special Attack.
4
[Magnetic Storm] Bravo
If you don’t have any of the above W-Engines, you can use the B-tier Bravo one as itgives her a ton of much-needed Anomaly Proficiency.
Synergy With Grace
Freedom Blues
This is the best in slot 4-pc Drive Disc set for Grace as it not only gives her extra Anomaly Proficiency, butalso reduces the RES of the enemy’s Anomaly Buildup, allowing you totrigger the Shock effecteasily.
Thunder Metal
If you’ve been farming the Hunter and Hound domain, you can also use this set on her. Whilethe Electric DMG and extra ATK bonus from this one is nice, it won’t give you as much value as the one above.
2-pc Swing Jazz
As for the extra 2-pc that you can use on Grace, Swing Jazz serves thebest because of its Energy Regenas it allows her to use the EX Special Skill more often.
5
6
Anomaly Mastery
Anomaly Proficiency > ATK Percent > PEN > Crit
In a perfect scenario, you’d want tohave Anomaly Proficiency on every piece for Gracewhile also having a bit of Crit so that her Basic Attack can deal extra damage.
Best Bangboo For Grace
It’s quite easy to overlook the Bangboo you use in battle since they don’t seem to have much of an effect,but they’re an integral part of combat. Depending on the team you use with Grace, you can use one of the following Bangboos:
Suggested Team
Plugboo
This commonly serves as the best Bangboo for her if you’re using another Electric character as it can help her trigger the Shock effect more often. Thoughyou’d always want to trigger Anomaly with Gracenot with the Bangboo.
Safety
If you’re using multiple Belobog Heavy Industries characters with Grace, youcan increase this Bangboo’s Chain Attack DMG.
Electroboo
This can be agreat A-tier variant for Plugbooif you’re using two Electric units.
Grace Skill Overview And Priority
Now that you’ve learned the best gear you can put on Grace to make her overpowered, it’s alsoimportant to understand how she generally works in battle. Here are a few points that you have to keep in mind while using this character:
The general idea is that you’d want to doeverything in your power to trigger that Shock Anomaly with Grace quicklyand then switch out to another unit. With this in mind, here is the sequence that you should spend resources for upgrading her skills:
While Dodge and Basic Attacks aren’t a necessary upgrade, it’s still recommended toget them to at least level sevensince you’ll be using them quite commonly in battle.
