Since her first introduction Grace is one of the most credible captain. Not only a good tanker, she's also good when healing, a good gap cutter, and when applied with WP build, her basic attack will be as good as lance.
But to be noted, that her healing is annoying on 2.6 version and after update to 1.7 her healing got nerfed, from 800 to 600 without crystal item. Still worth using ? Yes! With only 600 healing to your health, that still as much as fountain of renewal. Plus low cooldown is a good sign of using her C.
And remember that 60 healing of her C, is a base healing without crystal item. Buying a shatter glass will be your solution of the nerf, plus you can deal a great deal of damage on early game, while get fair damage on the late game, and note that Echo is very powerful right now, you can immediately use your C again by applying it.
These guide is the step by step build that i commonly using, but the exact build is situational, depend on your party, your enemy, and situation in the game. Nothing is absolute in Vainglory, right ?
Start with Light Shield, Oakheart, 3 Halcyon Potion, and Flare.
- Start with farming with your jungle until you learn your B.
- Move into the bush on your lane. Always tries to surprise enemy carry(s) with your A and Stun with B.
(These need good communication with your carry)
Quickly have your Fountain of Renewal, Sprint Boots, Reflex Block, and Energy Battery
- Keep stocked with halcyon potion, your focus is healing your allies, use potion to heal yourself.
- Remember you're a captain, so you're not only surprise the enemy but also act as tanker, protect your carry!
Time to get serious with Crucible, Heavy Prism, Void Battery, Travel Boots!
- This time you'll have no time to hide! You're a full tanker and support now.
- After Having Crucible and Fountain of Renewal, Focus on Echo and Shatterglass.
Final! Time to complete your build with War Treads And Shatterglass.
- By this time you'll find your the enemy will focus their assault on you (Frustrated with Too much healing)
- Remember not to get separated too far from both your teammates. Choose to stay between them, cut to the enemy weakest, stun them. Gank them, Heal Your teammates.
Note:
- If you're having hard time fighting WP enemies, Change Shatterglass into Metal Jacket or Atlas Pauldrom. These will require you to buy Crystal Infusion ealier for better healing.
-If you fight
Stealth Hero Put Contraption in, and erase Shatterglass. Build Crystal Infusion Early. Remember for these build, you must ignore Metal Jacket, positioning yourself mainly as healer and surprise your enemies.
- Buying Crystal Infusion earlier, means you'll have some difficulties build War Treads and Echo, so you need to start Aggressive Play or Farm your jungle while keeps watching both teammates condition.
- Shatterglass Affect not only your amount of healing, but also your A& B damage.
- As long as you're having at least an empty space, stack 3 Halcyon Potion, your item and C need to be focused on your mate not you, and Halcyon Potion keeps you alive and your mana filled.
- In order to face the threat above, you need to restrain Aggressive play in the early to mid game. These will keep you alive, and if you alive, your teammates will survive.
- You can change War Treads to Halcyon Charger if your allies are both good at running on their own, these will decrease cooldown, and more often healing.
- You're vulnerable to Nullwave Gauntlets, Stun, and Silence, beware of these item. Crucible at the right time. You need to keep two healing abilities in these build.
- Though i don't recommend, you can have Crystal Bit as starter for more aggressive play in the early game.
- If you confident with your carry against enemy carry, buy Irongurad Contract as starter, and start as jungle support.
Your teammates heroes are crucial, even if you're good at healing! But these list is only limited to Carry. I always need a good sync with my carry for these build.
Worst Heroes.
Worst doesn't mean you can't win, but they're just less compatible with your play style in early to mid game.
Saw
He can't mobile well even if you surprise your enemy carry.
Baron
Same as Saw, movement is important here.
Vox (CP)
Vox CP is bad at fighting 1v1, his damage output is much lesser than his WP build, with your stun, if you're not lucky enough, Enemy Minions will get killed with it.
Best
Vox WP
With his powerful damage, he can deal a good damage to the enemy carry while keep killing their creeps.
Idris
Good mobility means good at gank!
Ringo
He's somehow not so good and but the worst.
Skaarf, Kestrel, Gwen, Adagio, Celeste, Baptiste.
This is your ultimate allies, i can always immediately kills enemy carries with them.
As we all know that there's no absolute strategy in Vainglory.
However this guide will help you get any ideas of how to use Grace in some way.
I'm not really confident that these build is ultimate and makes your game invincible.
But at least i won a lot using this build.
Mistake often came, you can always came to solution if you find any error.
And these guide is only worth for update 2.7, further update needs further confirmation, of hero and item nerf.
Thank you.
