Holy Grace is a holy based skill available in Dragon's Dogma.
Description[]
- "An advanced form of Holy Aid that converts damage from blocked blows into Health for an extended duration."
An advanced version of Holy Aid that lasts longer, heals more, and can heal past 'White Health' damage on a Perfect Block - to intone the spell both first and second tier incantations must be completed, otherwise only the lesser spell will be cast.
Notes[]
| Holy Aid | Holy Grace | |
|---|---|---|
| Duration | 60 sec | 90 sec |
| Healing † | 15 | 30 |
| Perfect block healing † | 45 | 90 |
| † values refer to lowest possible heal. Higher levels are 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, and 6.8x | ||
- Both spells recover 'White Health' damage (similar to Anodyne) on blocking attacks.
- The effectiveness of this skill is directly related to the "riskiness" of the block .. that is to say - the amount of Healing seems to be dependent on the ratio of the amount of damage that would have been received if the attack had not been blocked to the (total) Health of the defender; with bigger ratios being better. Thus :
- Probably depends on strength of enemy strike
- Low Defense (including armor) and Lowered Defense increases health regained against physical attacks (Defenses Boosted reduces healing)
- Low Magick Defense and Lowered Magick Defense increases health regained against magickal attacks.
- Curse increases health regained against all types of attack
- Actual remaining health does not seem to be a factor.
- The amount of healing increases in tiers as potential un-blocked damage increases - from 2x up to a maximum of 6.8x the base healing.
- The magick shield Brilliance (reduces defense to zero and raises magick defense) becomes very effective against physical but not magickal attacks with this spell.
- Multiarrow strikes count as multiple attacks
- Blocked thrown items, or attacks such as a Dragon's wing buffets also cause healing.
- Only Holy Grace can heal past white damage, and only when the attack is Perfect Blocked.
- On completion of casting, a small shockwave is produced. This shockwave causes some smaller creatures like Goblins to cower in fear, and may inflict debilitations, including Elemental Debilitations from permanently enchanted shields like the Thunder Kite Shield.
- Holy Grace makes Perfect Block slightly easier, similarly to Demonswrath and Riposte skills.
- Demonswrath has spell charging tiers that function in a similar way.
