Such sharp and strong lines, truly beautiful... I can't help but want to open it up and take a look. "Did you say Grace?" Wrench jumped in and answered: "Hm, she's the first person I've met nice enough to give me a massage." "She's genuinely caring," Screw quickly added: "Rather than being tightly wound, I prefer her way of tightening screws just right." Gear joined in at this point: "Her intelligent mind is alluring and elegant as a well-engaged gearbox!" "And very rational," Oil muttered: "In her dictionary, there's no room for 'a little' or 'moderate amount'. It's all precise 'milliliters'."

Pros & Cons
Pros
Most attacks have a movement-based component which is controllable by the player making Grace one of the most mobile characters.
Incredibly fast damaging combos allow Grace to be played alongside another damage dealer as a Sub-dps without her competing for field time.
Deals the majority of her damage through Shock which after applied can be triggered by other characters while Grace isn’t even on the field.
The backbone of the Shock team archetype making her a must-have if you want to play that team on release.
Incredibly cheap EX Special meaning it will be available far more frequently than other characters.
Incredibly active playstyle requiring accumulation and spending of charges on top of constant movement. Good for players who like a lot of action.
Cons
Constant movement on abilities can sometimes lead to Grace being out of position if not controlled correctly.
Re-applying a Shock to an already Shocked target will not deal any additional damage but only refresh the duration making spamming out Shocks, while possible, a less efficient use of Grace's resources (Disorder can be used to solve this issue somewhat).
Strong damage potential but less straightforward to play as a sole damage dealer than other characters and prefers to be played alongside another damage dealer (such as Anton) in most cases.
Her best and incredibly synergistic support (Rina) is an S-Rank and playing without her is noticeable, limiting Grace’s free-to-play power on release unless you get lucky.
Ratings
This tier list assesses characters based on their combat potential in Zenless Zone Zero’s current most demanding content, Shiyu Defense (SD). SD is a mode similar to Genshin Impact’s Spiral Abyss or Honkai Star Rail’s Memory of Chaos and requires multiple teams, Disk Drives and good W-Engines. This mode offers a reasonable mix of Boss encounters (single target) and Elite packs (2-3 targets), allowing multiple characters to find a niche but in the end, there is a bias toward single target focused characters at the top-end and tier list ratings will reflect that.
Please keep in mind Zenless Zone Zero is a skill-based game and each character has a different playstyle, difficulty level and even special tricks and combos. Zenless Zone Zero is also a team based game and it's only by combining both these factors to the highest level a character can reach optimal performance.

Best W-Engines
The W-Engines are listed in order of priority. Sometimes the percentages appearing near them won't reflect their performance as pure damage or Stun output isn't the only thing we're looking at - the utility of the W-Engine might be more important than the calculations imply.
100%
Increases ATK by 12/15/18/21/24%. When using a Special Attack or EX Special Attack, the equipper's Anomaly Proficiency is increased by 25/31/37/43/50 for 8s, stacking up to 3 times. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.
Level 1:
Base ATK:53
PEN Ratio:9.6%
Level 60:
Base ATK:684
PEN Ratio:24%
Grace's Signature W-Engine and an outstanding all-around choice for most Anomaly characters. Grants 24% Pen Ratio and 12% Combat Attack unconditionally, on top of an easily accessible combat bonus granting a ton of Anomaly Proficiency. To get specific, the combat bonus grants the wearer a stackable - up to 3 times - buff (25 Anomaly Proficiency per stack), lasting 8 seconds, with each stack's duration counted separately. The wearer can easily gain a stack every time they use a Special Attack or EX Special Attack and abilities that activate multiple times or in sequence also grant multiple stacks. A good example of this interaction is Piper's Special + EX combo: Piper will gain a stack from the start of her standard Special channel, another one from starting the EX channel portion and a final stack on the finishing portion of her EX. This Engine is an incredibly strong generic option making it a top option on many Anomaly characters.
95.51%
Whenever a squad member inflicts an Attribute Anomaly on an enemy, the equipper gains a buff that increases Anomaly Proficiency by 30/34/38/42/46, stacking up to 4 times. This effect expires when the target recovers from Stun or is defeated. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.
Level 1:
Base ATK:46
Attack:10%
Level 60:
Base ATK:594
Attack:25%
A solid all-around Free To Play accessible option for all Anomaly Agents. Grants 25% Standard ATK% unconditionally and offers a very flexible combat buff, granting Anomaly Proficiency on a semi-permanent basis when played around effectively - whenever any squad member inflicts an Anomaly on an enemy, the wearer gains a stackable buff, granting 46 Anomaly Proficiency each and lasts for as long as the enemy or enemies you inflicted said Anomalies on are alive or don't become stunned. When an enemy is stunned or dies you'll lose the stacks you gained as a result of Anomalies afflicted. Gaining stacks for this W-engine is reasonably easy and you should have a good amount of them as long you're fighting enemies with a decently sized HP bar and who don't get sStunned too quickly. This Engine is at its strongest when played in teams with members capable of inflicting large amounts of Anomaly Buildup and serves as a good choice in those scenarios.
92.48%
For every 10 Energy consumed, the equipper gains a buff that increases ATK by 2.5/2.8/3.2/3.6/4% for 10s, stacking up to 10 times. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.
Level 1:
Base ATK:46
Anomaly Proficiency:30
Level 60:
Base ATK:594
Anomaly Proficiency:75
A decent Free To Play accessible option for all Anomaly Agents. Grants 75 Anomaly Proficiency unconditionally and a combat ability offering the wearer a stackable buff granting Combat ATK%. The wearer will gain a stack each time they consume 10 energy, with each stack offering 4% combat ATK%, stackable up to 10 times and lasting 10 seconds with each stacks duration calculated separately. This engine is a reasonable choice for characters that revolve around emptying their energy reserves into EX Specials in order to afflict their anomalies in quick burst sequences, offering a total possible buff of 40% Combat ATK% after spending 100 energy. This Engine is strong on characters that burn all their energy at once and afflict singular huge Anomalies but is less powerful on characters that slowly spend their energy or afflict their anomalies in a more spaced out fashion.

100% uptime
When there are enemies inflicted with Attribute Anomaly on the field, the equipper's ATK increases by 10/11.5/13/14.5/16% and they deal an additional 15/17.5/20/22.5/25% more DMG to the target.
Level 1:
Base ATK:46
Anomaly Proficiency:30
Level 60:
Base ATK:594
Anomaly Proficiency:75
The Anomaly battle pass W-engine - an expensive engine to acquire and one that can either be exceptionally powerful or fairly weak depending on the combat circumstances, team and gameplay utilized alongside it. Grants 75 Anomaly Proficiency unconditionally and a dual combat effect that comes into play as soon as an enemy is afflicted with an Attribute Anomaly. When this happens, the wearer gains 16% Combat ATK and when attacking an enemy affected by an Anomaly, they'll also deal 25% more DMG to that target. When all the bonuses of this Engine are active, it's one of the best Engine's in the game but when you're not, it falls to being mediocre at best. The catch with this Engine is that the damage of Anomalies is based on the damage your character deals while building the anomaly gauge and unless the enemy already has an Anomaly, the newly applied one will have none of the conditional bonuses of this Engine. This point makes this Engine only recommended for teams that feature a way to apply Anomaly before the wearer of this engine does or is able to upkeep anomaly at all times on relevant enemies. Due to the nature of this Engine we've displayed its performance with and without the conditional effects active.

How to play
Gracehow to play guide isn't available yet. It will be added soon.
Rina provides Grace an overwhelming amount of synergistic buffs which take her kit and gameplay to the next level. Rina’s first buff grants the entire team a portion of her PEN Ratio plus a flat amount up to a cap of 30%. 30% PEN ratio is an incredibly large amount and given Pen Ratio gets stronger the more of it you have, this buff is absolutely nothing to sneeze at - especially that Rina can keep it active close to permanently with optimal play. Rina’s next buff is a generic 10% Electric DMG increase which Grace appreciates. However her final buff is the most impactful - it increases all Shocks duration from 10 seconds to 13 seconds, extending their life span and as a result their damage by 30%. When combining all these benefits together Rina absolutely stands as one of Grace’s best synergies.
One of Anton’s kits defining features is his ability to partially trigger any Shock on the target he is hitting every 4th critical hit he deals. In order to take most advantage of this ability, Anton wants to attack an enemy with a Shock that is as big as possible so he can trigger it - and who better to help than the queen of Shocks herself, Grace. Grace is the best character in the game at applying the Shock Anomaly and also applies the largest ones as well making her the perfect accompaniment for Anton.
Grace is the backbone of the Shock archetype which is focused on quickly building up as much Electric Anomaly on enemies as you can to keep them Shocked consistently. Anby being an Electric character activates both her own and Grace's bonus ability and further plays into the Shock archetype by contributing her own Anomaly allowing Grace and her team to quickly apply more Shocks, something essential when Anton is a part of the team. Furthermore, Anby also brings Daze to the team, something that isn’t always needed in Shock teams but is still viable.
Teams
If a column has multiple characters, the bigger one is the priority choice for the team while the smaller ones are alternatives. If they are the same size, either of them can be used.
Don't use the damage output calculations as an indication on who is worth pulling or investing as those are just simulations and in day-to-day gameplay there's a lot variables and also the skill of the player is important. As usual, don't compare the numbers between characters.
Important!
Graces's Mindscape 1 and 4 don't have a direct impact on her damage output but the energy they provide is incredible valuable allowing her to launch more EX Specials and as a result inflict her devastating Shocks more consistently. Her Mindscape 1 is especially useful as it not only buffs up Grace's energy recovery but also the entire teams.
Grace in 1 Target scenario - Burst
Rotation time: 4.43s for Burst.
Attention!!! Grace has an incredibly short damage rotation focused around applying an incredibly large Shock right at the end lasting for 10 or more seconds. Grace's DPS is calculated with all damage leading up to and including the Shock which will continue dealing damage long after she leaves the field resulting in a high DPS number for her but damage which will be spread over the next character who switches ins rotation.

Details about the calculations
Here are the rotations used in the calculations.
As an Anomaly character Grace is not anywhere near as reliant on her Ultimate as Attack characters making it an optional addition if you see fit, it will increase her damage but is not essential. Grace can also make use of her rotation equally as well outside of the stun burst window something that can be especially relevant when playing her in teams without stun characters, the only damage related cost of this is the sacrifice of the stun damage multiplier.
