What Kind of Character is Candace?

Emilie is mainly an Off-Field Hydro Support and Sub-DPS that provides a Normal Attack DMG buff and a Hydro Infusion for Polearm, Sword and Claymore characters. These are provided by activating her Elemental Burst, and because of this she needs to have enough Energy Recharge to be able to use it on demand.

Candace's place in teams is often contested by other, far better Hydro Sub-DPSes like Furina or Yelan. She doesn't provide much buffs for a team, and is replaceable more often than not, especially before C6. Her C6 makes her more viable due to her Hydro Application that can affect an area, rather than a single target, but often having more damage and buffs from the better supports may outweigh this.

Basics Of Using Candace

Candace is an Off-Field Hydro Sub-DPS and Support who is mainly known to provide your On-Field Sword, Polearm and Claymore characters with a Hydro Infusion on their Normal and Charged Attacks with her Elemental Burst.

This Hydro Infusion can be overridden if the character already has a way of gaining one, like Ayaka with her Cryo Infusion after dashing or Arlecchino's Pyro Infusion after absorbing Blood-Debts. This Infusion can also be used by Candace herself if you don't swap into other characters after activating her Burst.

Best At Constellation 6

Candace's C6 enables her Elemental Burst to deal and apply constant Off-Field Hydro DMG in an AoE (area-of-effect). This by far her best Constellation and opens her up to even more team options. Notably Candace at C6 allows Arlecchino to trigger the Vape reaction on multiple (well-grouped) targets, making her one of the better options for Vape Arlecchino with this constellation.

Increases Elemental DMG From Normal Attacks

Apart from giving a Hydro Infusion, Candace's Elemental Burst also buffs the Elemental DMG dealt by the On-Field character's Normal Attacks. This compliments her synergies with Arlecchino and Nilou's Bloom team when you have Candace at C6.

Damage Buff Based on Her Max HP

Candace's Passive, Celestial Dome of Sand, boosts your On-Field character's damage by 0.5% for every 1,000 HP she has. This a pretty decent buff if you build her correctly, so having more HP% on her is good to maximize the buff.

Roles & Playstyle of Candace and Her Strengths and Weakness

Off-Field Sub-DPS and Support Candace

At lower constellations, Candace's role in a team can be very limited, since other characters can compete or are straight up better. She will typically take on a supportive Off-Field role that has a bit of damage on the side. At C6, her niche is more solidified thanks to her AoE Hydro application, which has a place in several different teams.

Pros and Cons of Off-Field DPS

Pros
- Very easy to play.
- Hydro infusion can be good with several team archetypes.
- When paired with another Hydro character, Candace activates Hydro Resonance that increases Max HP%. This is good for both Cadance and other HP-scaling DPSes.
Cons
- Candace at lower cons is easily outclassed by other Hydro Off-Field characters due to her less powerful buffs and personal DPS.
- Candace's Off-Field Hydro application is non-existent until C6.
- C6 increases her usability and can give her a real place in teams, but getting C6 on a 4-Star can be an unrealistic goal due to the lack of a 4-star pity on banners.

Best Build for Candace

Candace is designed to mainly be an Off-Field Support with Sub-DPS capabilities. But she can also be used as an On-Field Driver or DPS depending on team comp. See below for the recommendations.

220%+ with another Hydro teammate

At C6, Candace becomes a much more viable option for meta On-Field DPSes like Arlecchino as a source for AoE off-field Hydro application. Naturally, this means Candace's Elemental Burst is her most important ability for this team, so she needs to have Energy Recharge% to be able to use it on demand every rotation. She'd also want some HP% to fully make use of her passive, Celestial Dome of Sand, as well as some CRIT Rate to reliably trigger the Favonius Lance effect.

The On-Field character in Nilou's Bloom team is one of Candace's best options if you want to use her that way. Since she's one of the characters triggering the Blooms in this team, she'll need to be equipped with Elemental Mastery to increase the Bloom damage and Energy Recharge% to ensure she can maintain her Elemental Burst uptime. Candace performs well in with Nilou even without C6, but the AoE Hydro application from her C6 makes the synergy between them even better.

Candace's best option overall in terms of personal and team benefits is the Favonius Lance, due to the Energy Rechagre% and the fact that the Energy Particles generated by the passive benefits everyone on the team. Other options will vary depending on what you have and the role you want Candace to fill and how much DPS you want her to contribute.

For Free-to-Play options, The Catch is a good option to consider due to the Energy Recharge% and the buffs it gives to the equipped character's Elemental Burst. Since it's a weapon received from Fishing, you might need a bit of patience, especially since its highly recommended to get it to Refinement 5. The next best options are craftables that you would need Billets for, but are viable choices due to the Energy Recharge%. Black Tassel is the weapon to go for if you aren't able to craft or fish just yet.

When played with Nilou, Candace wants to have ample amounts of Elemental Mastery, since she'll be triggering the Bloom reaction. This makes Dragon's Bane the best choice due to the Elemental Mastery stat. The next best is Favonius Lance since getting Candace's Elemental Burst is still important for her in this team, but you would need to compensate for the lack of Elemental Mastery through her Artifacts.

For Free-to-Play options, the Kitain Cross Spear is the best option by a good margin. There aren't a lot of polearms that provide Elemental Mastery, and this weapon can also provide Energy on top of it.

Best Artifact For Candace Depends On What Role Candace Is

Candace's Kit allows her to be a DPS and a Support. Depending on the role, the best artifact changes. For the most effective ones and substitutes, check the list below:

Prioritize Increasing HP

The Buff that Candace provides scales from her HP so increasing the HP of Candace is crucial when using her as a support. Use Artifacts with HP as main stats to increase the Max HP. Energy Recharge can be from weapons or sub-stats.

Noblesse Oblige Works Depending On The Team That Candace Supports

Noblesse Oblige is great for Candace since it give ATK buff for the team. If you have another Noblesse Oblige holder in the team or if the Main DPS does not scale from HP, Emblem and Tenacity will work better.

Using Candace as a Main DPS works well but requires a decent amount of investment. You need to create a balance of CRIT DMG and CRIT Rate while having around 30,000 HP. The main source of damage is Normal and Charge attacks making Heart of Depths a great set. You can use the substitute while you are farming for 4pc. Heart of Depth.

Details
- With C6, Candace provides decent Off-Field Hydro that is AoE, allowing Arlecchino to trigger the Vape reaction on multiple targets.
- Arlecchino is a strong and flexible Pyro DPS that is among the top meta characters, allowing this team to be a strong contender in end-game content.
- Bennett is the main sustain and provides a large ATK boost for Arlecchino.
- Kazuha can group up enemies and apply the Viridescent Venerer set effect, which shreds Elemental RES while also providing Elemental DMG buff for Alrecchino and Candace. His grouping also helps Candace's C6 AoE Hydro, making it easier to apply on a majority of the enemies.

This team performs at its best with Candace's C6, which is very good into multi-target content due to the AoE Hydro application. This comp will be less ideal without this constellation, but it arguably one of Candace's stronger teams in terms of damage potential.

Team Rotation of Candace and Combos

Basic Team Rotation for Off-Field Candace

Basic Rotation For Off-Field Candace
1. Start with other supports to deploy their abilities.
2. Swap to Candace then use Elemental Skill.
3. Use Elemental Burst.
4. Swap to your On-Field DPS to do their full damage combo.
5. Return to step 1

Candace's durations are relatively short, so activating the support abilities with longer durations helps maximize Candace's. This rotation can be adapted for her various off-field teams since she's fairly easy to play.

Basic Team Rotation for On-Field Candace

Basic Rotation For On-Field Candace in Bloom Team
1. Start with Nilou and then use her Elemental Skill x3.
2. Swap to the Dendro supports to apply Dendro to start triggering Blooms.
3. Swap to Candance then use her Elemental Skill.
4. Use her Elemental Burst then start Normal Attacking. You can also use her Elemental Skill whenever it comes off cooldown.
5. Return to step 1 after Nilou's ring or other support abilities expire.

This team has Candace take the field with her Elemental Burst infusing her Normal Attacks with Hydro. She builds full Elemental Mastery in this comp to ensure the Blooms she creates deal the most damage. She also takes advantage of Nahida's Elemental Mastery buff while standing inside her Burst field.

How To Use Candace Skills & Passives

Provides Hydro Infusions and Normal Attack Buffs

Basic Rotation Of Candace
1. Start with other supports with longer ability durations.
2. Swap to Candace then use her Elemental Skill to generate Energy Particles
3. Use her Elemental Burst.
4. Swap your main On-Field character to do their usual combos.
5 .Repeat from number 1.

Candace's main gameplay is very straightforward. The duration of her Elemental Burst is noticeably short, and might expire if you do her first, so you'll want to deploy Candace's abilities towards the end of your rotation before the On-Field DPS to get the most out of the Hydro Infusion and the Normal Attack buff.

Elemental Skill Has a Parry Mechanic

Candace's Elemental Skill functions similarly to Beidou's, where holding it causes Candace to go into a guarding stance with her shield. This stance allows her release a counterattack in response to an enemy's attack. The tap version of her skill simply does damage to the enemies in front of her, which is often more ideal to do in a rotation due to the shorter animation.

Elemental Burst Is Her Most Important Ability

The main highlights of Candace's kit is found in her Elemental Burst. Activating this infuses the On-Field character's Normal and Charged Attacks with Hydro, provided the character is a Sword, Polearm and Claymore user. This is also where her Normal Attack buff comes from. Her passive, Celestial Dome of Sand, that also boosts the On-Field character's DMG based on her HP, also triggers when her Burst is used.

Candace's Elemental Burst has a slightly high Energy Cost. Because of this, you'll want to supply her enough Energy Recharge% to get it up consistently. Note that being able to use her Burst on demand as the only Hydro character in the team may prove difficult, so team composition can significantly raise her Energy Recharge% needs.

Can Benefit From Her Own Elemental Burst

Candace can take the field after using her Elemental Burst to make use of the Hydro Infusion. This allows her to be the driver in a Nilou Bloom team, which is one of the better On-Field Candace teams. She can still be played as a traditional On-Field DPS with CRIT this way, though her performance in this setup is likely not going to meet the recent endgame standard.

C6 Enables Her to Have Off-Field Hydro Application

Candace's C6 is arguably her best one, and can almost be mandatory for her to find more use-cases as an Off-Field Hydro applicator. With C6, her Elemental Burst will periodically radiate a wave of Hydro around the active character, and can be very synergistic with very mobile characters like Arlecchino.

Should You Pull for Candace's Constellation Or Best Weapon?

Aim for C6 if You're Able To

Constellation Priority
C6 > C1 > C2-C5

C6 is Ideal for More Hydro Application

Candace as a Hydro character starts to really shine at C6, since it increases her personal damage and allows her to inflict Hydro from an off-field position. This, in combination with the rest of her constellations, makes her fairly decent as either a support or a main damage dealer with decent Hydro application and a modest collection of teammate buffs on top of that. If you want to get the most out of Candace, aim to get her to C6 if you have the means to do so. Candace will still be usable prior to activating C6, however, and will function in her specific use cases regardless, just not at her best.
