Candace will be the first four-star Hydro character to be introduced in aGenshin Impactupdate. Both Barbara and Xingqiu were present in the initial release of the game. Naturally, fans are excited for her as a first for the game and a beautifully designed character. We’ve got some guidance if you’ve added her to your roster and need help building her.
Candace’s playstyle in Genshin Impact
She appears to be the elemental damage cousin ofYun Jin. She’s equipped to beoff-field supportwho quick-swaps in to activate her Elemental Burst, swipe back at an enemy via her Elemental Skill, then let another Main DPS character take over. She doesn’t heal or shield (even though she carries one), but she willadd a lot of damageto teams that want to use Hydro elemental reactions such asBloom,Hyperbloom, andElectro-Charge.
Best Weapons for Candace in Genshin Impact
You’ll really want to take advantage of Candace’s Elemental Burst. She may not have the benefit of many other Hydro characters on her teams, so choosing a weapon with an Energy Recharge sub-stat like theFavonius LanceorThe Catchwould be helpful. Most of Candace’s damage scales on her Max HP, so the three-starBlack Tasselwould also be an easy-to-build option for her.

Best Artifacts for Candace in Genshin Impact
Candace doesn’t have a four-piece Artifact set designed solely for her. A four-pieceNoblesse Obligeset is never a bad choice for support characters. If you want to boost Candace’s damage, try two-piece combinations of eitherTenacity of the Millelith,Heart of Depth, orNoblesse Oblige.
We recommend anHP%Timepiece, aHydro Damage % or HP%Goblet, and aCRITorHP %Circlet. Her sub-stat’s can be any form of HP, attack, CRIT, or Energy Recharge. Elemental Mastery would not be as beneficial in this build as she would be applying Hydro to enemies to set up a reaction, not triggering them herself.

What you need to ascend Candace in Genshin Impact
To ascend Candance, you’ll need the standard amounts of Experience Books and Mora,Varunada Lazuritepieces,Red Satinpieces,Henna Berries,andLight Guiding Tetrahedrons, dropped by theAlgorithm of Semi-Intransient Matrix of Overseer Network. Since she scales so heavily on her Max HP, leveling her to 90 would be beneficial.
You’ll need more Mora and Red Satin pieces to level up her talents. You’ll also need Teachings of Admonition from the Steeple of Ignorance domain andTears of the Calamitous Godfrom theRaiden Shogunweekly boss.
We recommend prioritizing her Elemental Burst over her Elemental Skill. You can level her normal attacks if you want to, but this would be a much lower priority.
Best Teammates for Candace in Genshin Impact
Most Sumeran characters belong in some form of a Dendro reaction-based team. We recommend using her as a support in aBloomorHyperbloomteam comp. Try her withDendro, Hydro, and Electro characterssuch as The Dendro Traveler, Nahida, Nilou, or Cyno. You can also use her in anElectro-Chargeteam with Fischl, Yae Miko, or Raiden Shogun.
