Grace Howard is one of the most reliable Anomaly role heroes inZenless Zone Zero. She specializes in electric-type damage and can easily stack theShockstatus effect. This gives her some flexibility to offer damage, support, and debuffing.

As with all playable characters, a single Agent will not make or break a team inZenless Zone Zero. Grace should be placed on a three-person team that shares at least one feature: identical elemental attribute orfaction affiliation inZZZ. This means two other Electric heroes, likeRinandAnby, or Belobog Heavy Industries membersBenandKoleda.
