In this guide, you will learn about her best build, amplifiers And drive discs, as well as recommended commands with it

Grace's Key Features

How to get Grace

We are talking about a standard legendary character that can be obtained in three different ways:

• As part of the ongoing "Star Cast" banner, and it can drop out during the first 50 signal searches during the promotion for beginners. Then the usual rules come into effect, in which you can knock out Grace on the 90th spin.
• As part of the "Agent of your choice" promotion, that is, you need to perform 300 signal searches in the standard banner, and then you will have the opportunity to choose Grace in the corresponding menu. You can take her even if you already have her - in this case, you will be given her profile for the mental picture.
• It has a 50% chance of appearing in an event banner if you you will lose 50/50.

Unfortunately, HoYoverse I've never held an event where the reward was a 5-star fighter, so you definitely won't be able to get a technomaniac for free.

Key Features of Grace

Grace's abilities and their leveling priority

You can read about the heroine's abilities in the game itself, so we decided to add it under the spoiler so as not to increase the size of the article. We also recommend that you study our combat system guide, to better understand it.

As for leveling up the heroine's talents, then the priority should be the inclinations and special attacks, as they are the main source of her damage. Next in importance are dodges (you will often wedge them into your combos) and basic attacks (they will be the beginning of any of your combos).

Once you've maxed out these abilities, you can move on to upgrading chains of hits (ultimate), increasing Grace's overall damage. Upgrade Assist last, as it's noticeably less useful than other abilities.

Grace's Mental Picture

To open it, you need to accumulate Agent Profiles, which are given out when duplicates of the heroine fall out, which, of course, is random. Considering the small chance of getting 5-star characters, you will need to spend a lot of time and money to unlock all the mental girls. However, even without them, Grace can easily play the role of a sub-DD.

The table below lists all the mental abilities, their descriptions and benefits for the heroine.

Note that the probability of getting a certain standard leg is even lower than the event one, because their drop is random. If you have already dropped it and you are wondering whether to take its duplicate after 300 spins, then we still advise you to take a closer look at Rina, who will bring her more benefit than M1.

How to play as Grace

Basic combinations

Use basic and dash attacks to accumulate Shake levels. You can see the number of accumulated charges under the heroine's health bar if she is the active character.

Once you reach 8 stacks of Shake, immediately use a special attack (standard or enhanced) to spend the charges and increase the accumulation of Electrical Anomaly, which will significantly speed up the application of Shock to enemies.

It is worth remembering that the enhanced E increases the damage from the next Shock received by the enemy, so it is necessary to use it before switching to another character. In general, the standard combination for Grace will look like this:

1. Use basic/dash attacks until you reach 8 Shake.
2. Use a special attack. Repeat these two actions until you inflict Shock on the enemy.
3. Activate the enhanced special attack and switch to the main damage dealer.

Advanced Combinations

Grace can be a key character in both Abnormal and Shock packs, relying on cheap and frequently used special attacks and activating her Main Passive (accumulate 8 levels of Shake and increase the damage of Electro Anomaly).

We have already noted above that special attacks are the heroine's main ability, and her end lags can be cancelled by dodging. Upon reaching the 3rd use of her E, a general cooldown applies to dodging. At this point, you can use a basic attack to neutralize this effect and immediately start the next rotation. This rotation is relatively simple and allows you to quickly put enemies into a state of Shock. It looks like this:

1. Accumulate 8 levels of Shake, use a normal or enhanced special attack (triggers a passive) and use Dodge (reduces action delay).
2. Accumulate 8 levels of Shake, use a normal or enhanced special attack (triggers a passive) and use Dodge (reduces action delay).
3. Accumulate 8 levels of Shake, use a normal or enhanced special attack (triggers passive), and use a basic attack.
4. Increases damage from Grace's Electro Anomaly.
5. Switch to other characters to speed up the accumulation of decibel rating and activate the ult.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Grace

With her unique abilities, the techno-maniac can deal significant Electro damage to both single targets and large groups of enemies. Her advantages also include:

• Most of her attacks involve movement-based actions controlled by the player, making Grace one of the most mobile characters in the game.
• Incredibly fast combos allow Grace to synergize well with any main DD without having to fight them for field time.
• Deals most of her damage through Shock, which once applied can be triggered by other characters even when Grace isn't on the battlefield.
• A key character for the Shock Pack, making her a must-have heroine in such a squad (at least at this stage of the game).
• The cost of the enhanced special attack is incredibly low, so you will be able to activate it much more often than other characters.
• Quite an active game style, requiring accumulation and spending of Shake levels and based on constant movement. At the same time, the gameplay itself is not overloaded with unnecessary actions and is quite easy to master.

However, Grace cannot be called an ideal character, as she also has her drawbacks:

• Due to Grace's constant dodging and dashing, it's easy to get too far away from her opponents if you don't keep an eye on her movements at all times.
• Re-applying Shock to enemies already under the debuff will not deal additional damage to them, but will only refresh the duration of the effect, making Shock spamming possible, but not very useful (Chaos can be used to solve this problem).
• She has a relatively high damage potential, but is still more difficult to use as a main DD than characters that are specifically designed for this role, so in most cases it is better to use her as a sub-DD to boost another damage dealer, such as Anton.
• Her best support, Rina, is also a 5-star standard character that can be hard to get, and without her, Grace's effectiveness drops significantly.

Anomalous squad

In anomaly squads, you first need to apply Shock to enemies using Grace, and then use other elemental damage dealers (Fire is great) to cause the Chaos negative effect.
