Talent Priority:

Constellation Recommendation:

  • C1 allows us more time to immerse ourselves in the element and generate more reactions.

  • C2 increases our life, which goes very well with its passives.

  • If you play her as a carry, the C4 allows you to have 3 elementals per rotation.

  • Her C6 combines very well with the ultimate, allowing more hits.

Video Summary

Candace Build Guide

This Candace build guide explores her versatility as both a Hydro support and a dedicated DPS carry. By utilizing her unique normal attack infusion and buffs, Candace can excel in various elemental reaction teams or act as a powerful driver for your party.

Best Weapons

  • Favonius Lance: This is a top tier choice for a support build to meet high Energy Recharge targets. It ensures Candace can consistently trigger her Elemental Burst to provide Hydro infusion and buffs for the entire team.
  • Staff of Homa: This premium polearm is the best weapon for a carry build due to its massive Crit Damage and HP scaling. It significantly boosts her personal damage output when she is played as the primary on field attacker.
  • Black Tassel: This accessible three star weapon is ideal for a pure support role focused on maximizing HP. It is the most cost effective way to reach the 40,000 HP threshold required to optimize her utility.
  • Dragon's Bane: This spear is excellent for carry builds focusing on elemental reactions like Vaporize. It provides necessary Elemental Mastery and a passive damage increase against enemies affected by Hydro or Pyro.

Best Artifacts

  • Tenacity of the Millelith: Using a 2 piece set is recommended for support builds to gain a vital HP bonus. This helps scale her normal attack damage buffs and increases the durability of her elemental skill shield.
  • Gilded Dreams: A full 4 piece set is the best artifact set for a carry build focused on high damage reactions. It provides a significant boost to Elemental Mastery, which is essential for maximizing her reaction potential.
  • Emblem of Severed Fate: A 2 piece set is useful for support roles that struggle with Energy Recharge. Combining this with other sets ensures Candace has her Burst ready on every rotation to maintain team buffs.
  • Wanderer's Troupe: This set is often used in a 2 piece combination for carry builds to increase Elemental Mastery. It is a flexible option for players looking to optimize reaction damage without a full Gilded Dreams set.

Teams and Stat Priorities

  • For stat priorities, aim for 40,000+ HP on support builds and 150%+ Energy Recharge. Carry builds should prioritize 500+ Elemental Mastery and 200%+ Crit Damage to maximize their offensive ceiling.
  • The Vaporize team featuring Candace, Kazuha, Xiangling, and Bennett focuses on high Hydro damage. This composition utilizes Bennett and Xiangling for Pyro application while Kazuha provides grouping and elemental resistance shreds.
  • The Normal Attack buff team includes Candace, Yun Jin, and Yoimiya or Ayato. This niche setup stacks multiple buffs to significantly increase the damage of your primary attacker's normal attack strings.
  • The Permafrost team uses Candace, Kazuha, Rosaria, and Mona to keep enemies frozen. This strategy provides excellent crowd control and safety while allowing Candace to contribute Hydro application and damage.
