Grace's Strength
Anomoly Character with Outstanding Shock Ability
Grace is an Anomoly Character that uses her Special Attack which is outstanding at Shocking enemies. The Anomoly Buildup is high even with the base Special Attack as long as you have enough Zap. The range is wide as well so it should be easy to apply Disorder to multiple enemies.
Tips! | Apply a different Attribute Anomaly using her ally, then immediately switch to Grace and Shock the enemy to activate the Disorder Effect easily. |
---|
Easy to Perform Combos
Grace can dodge attacks or use her Special Attack during her Basic Attack combo without having to start the combo all over again. The 3rd and 4th hits of the Basic Attack are strong and you don't need to worry about it getting interrupted. This allows you to accumulate Zap without stopping your attacks so you can just focus on Shocking the enemies.
Enhance Shock Skill to Create a Shock Team
Grace can enhance Shock DMG for the whole team with her Additional Ability, so building an Electric party without aiming for Disorder is also possible rather than having multiple Attributes like normal. This is especially strong against enemies weak against Electric, like machines.
Grace's Weakness
Can't Work with Both Stun & Support
When adding Anomaly characters to your squad, including Grace, they will be used in place of Stun and Support characters. In exchange for overwhelming Attribute Anomaly performance, the frequency of Stunned and Quick Assist will be significantly reduced.
Grace - Strategy and Combo
“Zap” 8-Layer Charge → Repeat Special Attack
Grace accumulates 8 layers of “Zap” with Basic Attack/Dash Attack and (EX) Special Attack with enhanced Anomaly Buildup applies Shock quickly. How many Zaps you can stack depends on the number of hits of each attack so be sure to know them so you can count them.
Number of “Zaps” added Per Attack | |
---|---|
Basic Attack 1st hit | 3 |
Basic Attack 2nd hit | 3 |
Basic Attack 3rd hit | 5 |
Basic Attack 4th hit | 8 & above |
Dash Attack | 3 |
Step Shooting | 3 |

W-engine | Recommendation |
---|---|
Fusion Compiler | Recommend: - Signature W-Engine that matches her abilities - Basic combo will greatly increase Shock DMG - PEN Rate increase also helps with DMG output |
Electro-Lip Gloss | Recommend: - Increase Shocked DMG with ATK, DMG stats and Anomaly Proficiency - Easy to activate, should stay active most of the time - Obtain in New Eridu City Fund |
Rainforest Gourmet | Recommend: - Consume Energy to increase ATK - Advanced Stats increase Anomaly Proficiency |
Weeping Gemini | Recommend: - Increase DMG with Shock effect - Effect is massive when buff is maximized - Great for team with no Stun Agent |

Grace - Best Team Comp
Disorder Team
Activate Disorder with Electric & Ice
Electric & Ice Team with everyone's Additional Abilities activated. Grace can apply Shock, and Ellen can Freeze the enemy as the main DPS. while trying to apply
Use Grace when Enemy is Frozen
Use Ellen as the main attacker since she has high ATK, Stun and Freeze stats and once the enemy is Frozen, switch to Grace to apply Disorder. Then use Rina to activate PEN buff and then back to Ellen using Quick Assist. Try to use Ellen's Ultimate when the enemy has Disorder and have the PEN buff activated.
Shock Team
Use Grace's Powerful Shock Effect
In addition to Grace who can apply Shock easily, Anton can increase damage against Shocked enemies and Rina extends the Shock effect and increases Electric damage. This team is especially strong against machine type enemies which are weak against Electric attacks.
Use Grace then Connect to Rina & Anton
Grace should do most of the attacking and use Rina's EX Special attack to apply PEN buff once she has enough Energy, then switch to Anton using Quick Assist. If Anton can make use of Rina's PEN Rate buff when the enemy is Stunned, that can deal massive damage.
Tips! | Anton's Burst Mode consumes Energy to deal high damage. Try to save Energy until the enemy is Stunned to deal more damage. |

[F2P] Low-rarity Team
Bangboo | |||
---|---|---|---|
Billy | Grace | Anby | Electroboo |
Can be Assembled with Free Characters
Both Anby and Billy can be obtained early in the story. So it should be fairly easy to assemble this team. Also, Grace and Anby are both Electric so this team can easily apply Shock to enemies.
Easy & Simple Strategy
Every Agent can activate their Additional Ability. The strategy is also simple, apply Shock with Grace, Stun the enemy with Anby and then Billy can deal massive damage. However applying Disorder can be difficult using Billy, so try to replace him once you get a more rare character.
Recommended Characters
Character | Recommendation |

Rina | Recommend: - Additional Ability activates when another character in your squad shares the same Attribute - Both have Shock Anomaly enhancements, making it easy to build a party |
Anton | Recommend: - Additional Ability activates when another character in your squad shares the same Faction - Great match with increased DMG against Shocked enemies |
