Grace tier and best specialization

B

B tier on patch 0.5.12

Player lists for Red Rift agree on B for Grace, one of the most picked heroes, whose runs win in the upper half overall but near the bottom on SSS. She plays in Stall Aria and works best as a Backup with The Selfless.

Plays in these tier list comps

Tiers are reviewed by hand after each patch (latest: 0.5.12), weighing the runs players share, most of them in Red Rift, the comps that clear the high difficulties, current player tier lists and recent balance changes. All 25 heroes side by side are on the hero tier list.

Grace shields and heals the hero closest to dying, with a coefficient that steps from 150% to 900% of Magic, and past Stall (20) she can resurrect a dead one outright. She is the reason a run survives a fight it should have lost, and she does nothing whatsoever when nothing is going wrong.

Frail by the numbers

Grace has the lowest Defense in the roster at 25 and shares the smallest health pool, 575, with Pollen and Ratna. Salvation's Shields scale on Magic, and her Magic starts at 0 and rises only 6 per rank, because the Mystic stat that climbs fast is Mana Regen. That stat sets how long the Shields last instead: 6 seconds plus 25% of her Mana Regen, a base that was 5 before 0.5.4. Patch 0.5.2 had already shortened the wait for her first cast from 85 Mana to 60, with Starting Mana up from 35 to 50 and Max Mana down from 120 to 110.

Stats for whoever is lowest

Stall Aria takes Grace to rank A with no upgrade and no items, for The Benevolent. After Stall (15), each cast permanently gives its target the primary stats of every class that hero has, at most 1 plus 1 per rank times per combat. Salvation aims at the hero with the lowest % Max HP, so whoever is lowest when she casts collects them. Rowan, Vanguard and Tank in the same build, takes both Max HP and Defense from one trigger. 0.5.4 moved the gate forward from Stall (20).

Guild-wide specs

The Selfless has two halves. With Grace fighting, Salvation targets every hero after Stall (10). From the reserves, its Backup Only effect applies 200 Shields plus 200 per rank to all heroes after Stall (20) and again after Stall (40), and heals them for half that. The reserve half has been cut twice: from 333 per rank to 250 in 0.5.1, then from 250 plus 250 to 200 plus 200 in 0.5.4.

The Radiant pays out through other Mystics as well. Whenever any Mystic Shields a hero, that hero gains 4 Attack and 4 Magic plus 4 per rank, and it works from Backup, so Fiona's Vault Spark, Gustav's Blizzard and Pollen's Sanctuary of Bloom each hand out the bonus with their Shields. Its base was 6 until 0.5.2.

What Grace gains per rank

A hero climbs C → B → A → S — 3 upgrades in all. Every stat rises at the same rate on every hero, with one exception: the primary stat of the class rises three to four times faster. For Grace that stat is Mana regen.
