Aside from Accessories, all Ethereal equipments that do not belong to a set will have a Grace. Those include melee weapons, ranged weapon and armors. Some of the Graces can appear in main game, but for the most part, Graces are exclusive to Abyss. They can be acquired by picking up Ethereal items in the Abyss, from floor 21 onward, or by Item Defilement.

Go to Item Defilement to learn how to acquire a specific grace.

List of Graces that can be obtained in main game
List of Graces that can only be obtained in the Abyss

Grace of Amaterasu[]

This Grace can be obtained in main game.

In general, it is not very good, as +Life does not contribute much to survivability.

The 7P bonus Zero Ki Bonus (Attack Damage Surge) was nerfed, it only lasts 1-1.5sec.

Grace of Futsunushi[]

This Grace can be obtained in main game.

It is also the only Grace that drops from Revenants.

5P bonus are good as it removes the possibility of melee weapon being weaken by attack from bosses. The only thing that comes close to this bonus is Dodanuki Masakuni sword, which has innate affix of 75% Nullify Weakening (Weapon).

6P are very good for players using Iai Quickdraw build, as it gives 40% Sill Damage, whereas Starred Skill Damage (Iai Quickdraw) on Swords can only give 24.9% at maximum Familarity. However, the trade off is that it requires wearing 6 pieces of equipments (or 5 with Yasakani Magatama) with this Grace, leave little room for combination with other Sets and Graces.

Grace of Kagutsuchi[]

This Grace can be obtained in main game.

This Grace enhances the ability to inflict Scorched status on enemy, which makes them take damage overtime.In general this Grace is not very good, since most of the bosses have Fire resistance. And elemental damages are usually lacking in end game.

Grace of Owatatsumi[]

This Grace can be obtained in main game.

This Grace enhances the ability to inflict Saturated status on enemy, which makes them take more damage. However, similar to other Graces which offer Status Ailment Augmentation, it is not very good, as elemental damage does not contribute much to the total damage in end game.

Grace of Oyamatsumi[]

This Grace can be obtained in main game.

This Grace enhances the ability to inflict Muddied status on enemy, which makes them take more Ki damage. It might be somewhat useful for Tonfa users, to further improve their ability to deplete enemies' Ki.

It also offer decent Damage Reduction as 6P bonus, which is useful for tanky build.

However, similar to other Graces which offer Status Ailment Augmentation, the 7P bonus is not very good, as elemental damage does not contribute much to the total damage in end game.

Grace of Shinatsuhiko[]

This Grace can be obtained in main game.

This Grace enhances the ability to inflict Blustered status on enemy, which reduces enemies' damage. It is not very good, as Onmyo Skill Gale Shot usually can achieve the same thing at a safe distance.

The 5P bonus can be reforged/tempered on Torso Armor.

Similar to other Graces which offer Status Ailment Augmentation, the 7P bonus is not very good, as elemental damage does not contribute much to the total damage in end game.

Grace of Susano[]

This Grace can be obtained in main game.

It is one of the most popular Grace in the game, and is used by many, especially in the Abyss, as it is the main component for Living Weapon build, which focuses on Strong Attack Damage.

Grace of Takemikazuchi[]

This Grace can be obtained in main game.

Its 3P bonus is good if combined with Warrior of the West Armour set.

Other than that, Grace is not very good, because 5P bonus is useless for the most part, unless one to have a build focus mainly on ranged weapon, which, in fact, is not viable, in early or end game.

Grace of Tsukuyomi[]

This Grace can be obtained in main game.

This Grace is not very good, as Onmyo Magic Skills, like Elemental Shots and their advanced counterparts, do negligible damage in end game, even with Onmyo Magic Damage Bonus A+. In general, Onmyo is meant to be used for their buffs/debuffs, as a complement for close combat, not as a main source for damage.

Ame-no-Uzume's Grace[]

This Grace can only be obtained in the Abyss.

It is suitable for players who prefer mobile play-style, with light armor and a lot of dodging. However, Equipment Lightness Damage Bonus seems to be bugged. Players with equipment weight less than 10.1 unit already have 15% damage bonus without this particular affix. Therefore in practice, most players who use mobile play-style end up using Hayabusa Shinobi Apparel set. The reason being that both Ame-no-Uzume Grace and Hayabusa Shinobi Apparel set requires 7P, but Hayabusa set gives better damage boost with Dragon Sword or Hayabusa Style Kusarigama.

Izanagi's Grace[]

This Grace can only be obtained in the Abyss.

It is one of the most popular Graces and is used by many, to be combined with other Sets or Graces. Its most useful bonus is the 3P bonus - Increase Attack (Life Recovery), which increase damage by about 15%. This effect can be triggered by using Elixir, Rejuvenation Talisman. It can also be triggered indirectly by reforging Bonus for Absorbing Amrita (Auto-Recovery) on helmet, then use Pleiades Talisman and Extraction Talisman.

Izanami's Grace[]

This Grace can only be obtained in the Abyss.

It is one of the most popular Graces, due to its 3P and 4P bonuses. It offers the highest Close Combat Damge, higher than any other Sets or Graces. The 3P bonus Life Recovery (Yokai Realm) also works well together with Izanagi's Grace. Fun fact: Izanagi and Izanami were husband and wife in Japanese folklore.

Kushinadahime's Grace[]

This Grace can only be obtained in the Abyss.

It is normally used for farming, especially smithing texts farming, as it offers 22.4% Item Drop Rate. Other than that, it does not offer anything particular useful.

Magatsuhi's Grace[]

This Grace can only be obtained in the Abyss.

It is only useful by equipping 7 pieces together, as the 6P and 7P bonuses work well together. However, it is a big trade-off, since there is little room to integrate other Sets or Graces to boost the damage further.

Ninigi's Grace[]

This Grace can only be obtained in the Abyss.

Similar to Magatsuhi's Grace, this Grace is only useful with its 6P, but it will give little room for other Sets and Graces. Using this part of the Grace proves to not be that useful either, as Defense value does not help much with survivability.

Okuninushi's Grace[]

This Grace can only be obtained in Abyss.

It is also a strong candidate for Strong Attack Living Weapon build. The downside is that it requires 6 pieces, instead of 5p in Susano's case. In general, getting 1.5% Strong Attack Damage by giving up 1 piece of equipment for another Set or Grace 4P damage is not worth it.

Omoikane's Grace[]

This Grace can only be obtained in the Abyss.

Its 6P bonus is good, but the same bonus can be obtained as starred bonus on Arm armor drop in the Abyss.

Sakuyahime's Grace[]

This Grace can only be obtained in the Abyss.

Fire damage is not very good, as most of the bosses have high resistance for it. And in end game, elemental damage is negligible. It might be a good challenge for those who want to run Burning Oil Jar only build. Otherwise, this Grace is not very useful.

Sarutahiko's Grace[]

This Grace can only be obtained from Abyss.

In general it is not very good, as its 3P bonuses can be acquired by reforging on helmet. It's 5P and 6P damage is useless for most of the userbase.

Sukunahikona's Grace[]

This Grace can only be obtained from the Abyss.

In general it is pretty much useless, except for those who want a challenge and run stone throwing build.

Tajikarao's Grace[]

This Grace can only be obtained in the Abyss.

In general it is not very good, except for those who want a challenge and run bare-handed build.

Takeminakata's Grace[]

This Grace can only be obtained in the Abyss.

it entirely focuses on Wind element both for attack and defense, as Blustered will lower enemies' attack.

It is quite good and well-rounded for those who want to run a full Wind build.
