Canda is the last four stars character inside Genshin Impact which was introduced to 3.1 Update. She is a weapon hydro units whose kit revolves mainly around the supply Normal Attack Elemental Upgrades And Hydroinfusion to other characters, while also dealing personal damage with her elemental ability. It’s been a while since Genshin Impact introduced a four-star hydroplayable character like only we had Barbara And Xingqui, which have been added since launch. This guide will discuss all the information about Candace in Genshin Impact along with the best artifacts, best weapons and talented materials.

Genshin Impact has slowly increased the number of Hydro units in the game and for good reason Dendro was added to the game along with great elemental reactions involving Hydro (like Flowering reactions).

Just like Dori, Candace is another four-star playable character who has a somewhat disappointing and weird kit. As a damage dealer, Candace cannot play in the most optimal teams. From a support standpoint, the buffs he provides aren’t worth it as there are four other alternate stars that provide better support abilities than Candace.

Name / Description Guy
Sparkling Lance: Guardian position Normal attack
Performs up to four consecutive spear strikes.
Charged attack
Consume a certain amount of Stamina to leap forward, dealing damage to enemies along the way.
Swoop Attack
Dives from mid-air to hit the ground below, damaging opponents along the way and dealing area DMG on impact.
Sacred Rite: Heron’s Sanctum Elementary Skill
Faucet She rushes forward with her shield, inflicting Hydro DMG to the opponents in front of her. Socket Raise his shield to block incoming attacks from nearby opponents, forming a barrier that absorbs DMG based on his maximum HP and absorbs Hydro DMG 250% more effectively. This barrier lasts until the elemental ability is released. After holding for a certain amount of time, Candace will finish charging and when the ability button is released, the duration of the ability expires or when the barrier is broken, she will perform a jump shot that deals Hydro DMG to opponents of in front of her.
Sacred Rite: Ballerina’s Tide Elemental Explosion
Raising her weapon high, Candace invokes a divine blessing that deals Hydro DMG to area based on her maximum HP and continually grants the Crimson Crown Prayer to your active character. Crimson Crown Prayer This effect has the following properties: Characters deal increased elemental damage with their normal attacks. Whenever a character takes to the field, he will unleash a wave of rippling water that inflicts Hydro DAN on nearby opponents. There is a limited number of waves that can be activated during the duration of this ability. Characters wielding sword, Claymore, and Polearm under this effect will gain a hydro infusion.

Talent leveling priorities

  • Build support: Elemental Blast> Elemental Ability = Normal Attacks
  • DPS construction: Normal Attacks> Elemental Ability> Elemental Blast

Candace’s passive talents

  • Aegis of the crossed arrows: If Candace is hit by an attack during Sacred Rite: Heron’s Sanctum’s Hold duration, that ability will instantly stop charging.
  • Heavenly dome of sand: Characters affected by the Crimson Crown Prayer caused by Sacred Rite: Wagtail’s Tide will deal 0.5% more DMG to opponents for every 1,000 maximum HP of Candace when dealing elemental DMG with their normal attacks.
  • In the first light of dawn: Reduces stamina consumption while climbing for your party members by 20%. Cannot be combined with passive feats that provide exactly the same effects.

The constellations of Candace

Constellation level Constellation Effect (s)
C1 Returning heir of the Scarlet Sands The duration of the Crimson Crown Prayer effect activated by Sacred Rite: Wagtail’s Tide is increased by 3 seconds.
C2 Overwhelming brilliance When Sacred Rite: Heron’s Sanctum hits opponents, Candace’s maximum HP will increase by 20% for 15 seconds.
C3 Hunter’s Plea Increase the level of Sacred Rite: Wagtail’s Tide by 3. The maximum upgrade level is 15.

This effect can activate once every 2.3 sec and is considered Elemental Burst DMG.

Which constellations should be aimed at

C1 (longer Burst uptime)> C2 (provides more HP%)> C6 (hydro damage)

The best artifacts built for Candace in Genshin Impact

As a support, Candace’s main goal is to provide Normal Attack Elemental Buff to other parts as well HP must be stacked. By itself, having a two-piece Millelith tenacity would help you increase HP combined with a Severed Fate emblem in two pieces to increase its energy recharge and have more Burst uptime. As a support, he can make full use of the four pieces Noble Obligation provide a attack buff to his team. In this guide, we will discuss the artifacts used for the Candace build in Genshin Impact.

For a DPS, even though Candace’s elemental ability and blast scale from HP, scaling isn’t as important as increasing damage to stack HP just like Yelan. So, it’s not a big requirement to rack up HP on her. Four-piece Heart of Depth can be used for a Candace DPS. Two-piece combinations are also possible such as a two-piece Heart of Depth with Two-Piece Gladiator’s Finale or Shimenawa’s Reminiscence. Candace can also use the four-piece The gladiator’s ending set if you want to build a purely Physical damage DPS.
