Grace Kit Overview

How to Use Grace

• Get Zap Stacks
• Use the Best Combo
• Buildup more Anomaly

Gain Zap Stacks

Grace's Basic Attack and Dash Attacks deal Physical DMG and she obtains Zap stacks from it. She can gain up to 8 Zap stacks. Once she gets maximum stacks, her Special Attack or EX Special Attack will consume all of it to increase Electric Anomaly Buildup by 65%.

Electric Anomaly Buildup Causes Shock

The Attribute Anomaly: Electric can cause Electric DMG in intervals called Shock. Grace inflicting an Electro Anomaly Buildup can cause that shock effect to increase shock the enemies in intervals.

Grace Electric Combo

The best way to use Grace is through her combo of using Basic Attacks or Dash Attacks against the enemies to build up Zap Stacks then using her Special Attack or EX Special Attack to increase the Anomaly Buildup.

Keep the Anomaly Up

Keep doing the combo until you trigger her Chain Attack or Ultimate where you can deal AoE Electric DMG. Grace will be invulnerable during that time.
