Many Agents inZenless Zone Zeroare highly eccentric in their own way. Fromthe wolf-man Lycaonto the bear-man Ben, it’s hard not to get intrigued by their unique personas. Among the eccentric figures, there’s Grace Howard.
Grace may seem like a normal human, but she has a passionate interest in building things and how things work. Therefore, it’s no surprise thather fighting style is less destructive and more obtrusive. Here’s how players canbuild Grace inZZZand make her an annoying Agent for Ethereals to fight against.
Grace Skills, Explained - Zenless Zone Zero
Grace is an Electric-Anomaly character inZZZ, soshe focuses on inflicting Shock on the enemy. Her playstyle revolves around her Zap stacks, which she uses to increase Electric Anomaly Buildup.
To gain Zap stacks,players simply have to deal Physical DMGwith Basic or Dash attacks.The number of Zap stacks can be seen under Grace’s health barwhen she’s the active character. After having enough Zap stacks, using Special Attack or EX Special Attack will consume all stacks,increasing the accumulated Electric Anomaly Buildup.
On top of that, Grace’s additional ability, which activates when the squad consists of characters with the same Attribute or Faction,increases Shock DMG when she hits an enemy with her EX Special Attack.
In short, to play Grace inZenless Zone Zero, you mustalternate between Basic Attack and Special Attack (when Zap stack is full) to quickly build up Shock.
Grace Best W-Engine In ZZZ - Zenless Zone Zero
The best W-Engine for Grace inZenless Zone Zerois theFusion Compiler. Its sub-statboosts PEN Ratio, and passive greatly increases Anomaly Proficiency (up to 75 in Phase 1). It also unconditionally increases ATK.
Tip: Anomaly Proficiency, ATK, Electric DMG, and PEN are all great stats to have since they affect Shock DMG. Typically, the ranking is as such:Anomaly Proficiency > ATK% = Electric DMG > PEN%.
For A-Rank W-Engine, players can considerWeeping GeminiandRainforest Gourmet. Rainforest Gourmet’s sub-stat increases Anomaly Proficiency, and itspassive boosts ATKbased on Energy consumed. Considering Grace would use her EX Special Attack often, the Energy consumption passive fits her nicely.Electro-Lip Glossis also great for maximizing Grace’s Anomaly Proficiency.
Another good option isRoaring Ride. The sub-stat gives ATK instead of Anomaly Proficiency, but it has a decent passive. When EX Special Attack hits, the passive randomly increases ATK, Anomaly Proficiency, or Anomaly Buildup Rate. However, although the effect is random, all of them can exist at once as they can trigger once every 0.3s. Each effect lasts for 5s, and the same effect can’t stack, but if you trigger the same buff, the duration resets. This weapon can be excellent if players are lucky enough to trigger different buffs.
Other viable alternatives are B-Rank[Magnetic Storm] Bravoand[Magnetic Storm] Charlie.
Grace Best Drive Discs In ZZZ - Zenless Zone Zero
As an Anomaly character,4pc Freedom Bluesis great to make Grace more effective at triggering Shock. The 4-piece effect is especially great since EX Special Attack is a part of her combo.4pc Thunder Metalis also viable, but considering the 4-piece effect requires an enemy to be Shocked, it’s better for Grace to use Freedom Blues and equip Thunder Metal on another character.
For the 2pc set, the best options are Hormone Punk for ATK or Thunder Metal for Electric DMG; the two are equally good, so use the one with the better sub-stat. You canconsider Puffer Electro for PENif the other two are unavailable. Of course, you can also use Freedom Blues if you use 4pc Thunder Metal.
For Grace’s Drive Discs, you’d want Anomaly Proficiency and Anomaly Mastery along with ATK, Electric DMG, and PEN.
