How to get Candace in Genshin Impact

Kandakia will be available with an increased chance in the first phase updates 5.1passing from 9 to 29 October 2024 year.

Candace's abilities

Candace's main source of damage comes from her abilities. Elemental Skill is a parry with a shield that charges up and deals increased damage, like Beidou or Yun Jin. Explosion of the elements strikes an area and increases the damage of the active character's normal elemental attacks. Next, we’ll take a closer look at how Candace’s skills work and how best to pump them.

Basic skills (active skills)

• Brilliant Spear - Defense (Normal, Charged, Fall Attack)

Performs up to four javelin strikes during a normal attack.

During a charged attack, dashes forward and consumes a certain amount of stamina. Attacking while falling, deals area damage upon landing.

• Sacred Rite: Heron's Realm (Elemental Skill)

Swift Tap - Charges while holding a shield, dealing Hydro damage.

Long Press - Raises a shield that blocks attacks from nearby enemies and generates a barrier:

• The damage absorbed by the shield depends on Max. HP Candace.
• Hydro damage is absorbed 250% more effectively.
• After activating the elemental skill, the effect of the barrier stops.

When holding the skill button, when the charge is completed and the button is released, the skill expires, or the barrier is destroyed, Candace performs a jumping attack that deals Hydro damage to all enemies in front.

The skill damage of both long press and fast press is completely dependent on maximum HP.

Quick press cooldown: 6 sec. Long press cooldown: 9 sec.

• Sacred Rite: Tide of the Wagtail (Elemental Blast)

Candace raises her weapon above her head and invokes a blessing that deals AoE damage to Hydro in proportion to her maximum health and grants the active character Prayer of the Crimson Crown:

• If the hero deals elemental damage with a normal attack, they gain a 20% damage bonus per skill level.
• A character entering the field of pain releases a water shaft no more than 3 times. It deals Hydro damage to all nearby enemies. Damage depends on max. HP Candace.
• Heroes wielding one-handed swords, two-handed swords, and spears while Prayer is active receive Hydro Infusion.

Duration: 9 sec. Cooldown time: 15 sec. Energy consumption: 60.

The order of pumping

Candace can play two roles - sup-dd with emphasis on support и main-dd:

• In the role of sup-dd, the main skill will be element explosion, the second most important elemental skill. Therefore, we raise the ult in the first place, and then bring the E-shku to level 6-8. Normal attacks can be left without pumping.
• In the main-DD position, the ult is still important, but auto-attacks will come in handy. Therefore, we download all the skills of Candace up to the 6th, and then we focus on regular punches и element explosion, and then to an elemental skill.

Passive skills

Sozvezdie

Recommended constellations of Candace - C1, C2 и С6:

• The first constellation will increase the duration of Hydro infusion under Candace's ult by 3 seconds, so the effect will last 12 seconds.
• The second constellation when using an elemental skill will increase Candace's HP by 20%. This will boost the normal elemental attacks of affected characters. Prayers of the Scarlet Crown, since the passive talent gives +0,5% increase for every 1.000 points of the spearwoman's maximum health.
• The 1th constellation gives even more Hydro status and passive damage due to the fact that now the normal elemental attacks of characters (except Candace) now cause a shock wave 2,3 time per XNUMX seconds.

Advantages and disadvantages of Candace

Candace is a Hydro support character with good own damage, which can also become the main damage dealer with certain builds. Among her strengths worth highlighting:

• Ability damage and key buffs for the team are affected by Max. HP Candace. This allows in builds where the spearwoman performs the function of a support, to focus solely on pumping health, restoring energy.
• As noted earlier, Candace is quite versatile and can use many of her own buffs to her advantage. Although the build will become a little more difficult due to the fact that, in addition to HP, crits and attack power (which is initially not very high) will be required, with the right weapons and artifacts, the heroine is able to deal significant damage.
• Is a good ally for characters playing from normal elemental attacks due to buffs from abilities, talents and some of the constellations of Candace.
• Gives Hydro infusion after activating the ult.
• Passive allows you to climb longer, reducing stamina consumption by 20%.
• Can break any ore by holding an elemental skill for a long time.

Disadvantages:

• Small base ATK.
• The buffs do not apply to charged hits, so Candace is not the best support for heroes using this type of attack.
• Infusion during the ult only affects the owners of one-handed and two-handed weapons, as well as spears, which somewhat limits the possible allied members of the squad.
• Elemental Skill Shield works on the principle of parry (as, for example, Yun Jin.), besides, it requires guessing a certain moment for activation. Such gameplay may not appeal to everyone.

Best builds for Candace in Genshin Impact

Candace's skills involve supportive functions that can strengthen the core core. But at the same time, the spearwoman has the potential to deal her own damage. Therefore, it is advisable to consider it in builds from main-dd and sup-dd/support.

• In the first case, as the damage dealers believe, Candace will need to collect crits и attack power, while it is important to balance with HP, since this indicator affects the damage from the elemental skill and ult.
• In the case of assembly through support, the main characteristic becomes HP, and then energy recovery, in some cases elemental mastery (if blocking a reaction).

Characteristics that are recommended to look for in artifacts for Candace:

Artifact	Main characteristic	Additional stats
Flower of Life	HP (permanent)	HP% Attack Power % / Energy Recovery % Crete. damage  Crit chance. hits
Feather of Death	Attack Power (Permanent)	HP% Attack Power % / Energy Recovery % Crete. damage  Crit chance. hits

• Energy recovery: support build - from 180%, main-dd - 120%.

Elemental Mastery it makes sense to collect only if Candace takes the position of the reactor, that is, closes the reactions (or uses the Staff of the Scarlet Sands weapon). In this case, optimally from 250 units.

Best Artifacts

Artifacts for Candace are selected depending on her role in the team:

• To inflict damage it is recommended to look for Hydro damage and a bonus for regular hits, since in the ult it gives a buff for this type of attack. If necessary, sets can be combined to achieve a particular result. At the same time, do not forget about HP in the main or sub-stats of artifacts.
• In a support position the most important thing is to collect as much HP as possible for the buff from the passive talent "Sandy Vault of Heaven", as well as find bonuses for the team in the kit's effects.

How to play as Candace

Candace, thanks to her mechanics and skills, is able to play both in position main damageAnd sup/sap-dd. At the same time, in both cases, the explosion of the elements plays a key role in dealing both its own damage and buffing the core, using normal attacks with elemental damage. Her elemental skill is similar in principle to parry from Beidou, and the ult is an area damage, gives buffs and Hydro infusion.

Although Candace's builds and stat balance change depending on the chosen role, the principle of the game remains the same - you need to gain energy for ult activation. The only nuance in the role of the main damage dealer will be that after receiving the elemental explosion buffs, it is she who is on the battlefield most of the time. Let's see how this works in practice next.

Rotation

If a spearwoman is in a support position, the following order of ability usage is recommended:

1. We hold elemental skill to avoid damage from enemy attacks and counterattack.
2. We activate element explosion, which will give a 20% bonus to normal elemental attacks, infusion, and the ability to release a water shaft.
3. Sequentially switch to 3 characters to create waves and use the ability to conduct reactions.
4. The last to enter the field is the main attacking hero.

If the heroine is used as the main damage dealer, it is recommended to combine her skills as follows:

1. We guess the moment when the opponents are going to deal damage, and apply elemental skillto activate the passive talent Crossed arrow defense and immediately counterattack.
2. Collect energy and use ultimate to get buffs.
3. Switch to 3 other heroesto create water shafts, and also use their skills.
4. At the end, we again change to Candace and attack the nearest enemies with normal attacks.

Сonclusion

Candace is a heroine with interesting mechanics, and currently the only one who can provide other characters Hydro infusion. Due to her buffs from talents, skills and constellations, the spearwoman fits well into squads as a sup-dd, where the main damage dealer deals elemental damage with normal attacks. At the same time, it has good damage of its own and can take the position of a main-dd. Although there are more suitable characters for this role, under certain conditions and assemblies, it may well become the basis of the group.
