Yanagi's signature delivers high ATK, unconditional Electric Anomaly Buildup Rate, and a big helping of Anomaly Proficiency plus Disorder damage once Anomaly Proficiency reaches 375 or more. An outstanding fit for every Electric Anomaly Agent, Grace included.

Practiced PerfectionS
AltPracticed PerfectionS1

An S-Rank engine that pairs plenty of ATK with broad Anomaly Mastery bonuses. Since Anomaly Mastery is separate from Anomaly Buildup Rate, it scales especially well on Grace, landing only a hair behind Timeweaver even without any direct damage bonus.

Fusion CompilerS

Grace's own signature is always obtainable and excellent on her: lots of ATK and PEN Ratio with no conditions, plus bonus Anomaly Proficiency from casting multiple EX Specials. Her kit already spams EX Specials to fill Anomaly gauges, so the synergy is natural.

The Anomaly battle pass engine is pricey and swings between excellent and mediocre depending on the encounter, team and playstyle. Only pick it for teams that apply an Anomaly before the wielder does, or that can keep Anomaly on the key targets at all times.

A permanently available A-Rank gem for every Anomaly DPS, Grace included. Cheap to craft and max out, it provides solid ATK% and a large Anomaly Proficiency boost whenever any squad member inflicts an Attribute Anomaly. Outside the two picks above, nothing else beats it on her.
