Uses Of Candace's Elemental Skill

Guards Against Enemies And Deals Powerful Charged Attack

Uses Of Elemental Skill
p:With Candace's shield raised up, she will block damage while her Elemental Skill is active. However, this should only work with a single attack and it cannot continue blocking indefinitely.

Deal Hydro Damage

Once you finish charging your shield, Candace will leap forward and deal hydro damage. Since this is an AOE attack, multiple enemies will be hit and hydro will be applied to them.

Great For Tanking Attacks & Gathering Energy

Because Yun Jin is normally build with high defense, the hold skill of Yun Jin can tank powerful attack with ease even if she has low max HP. Hitting Enemies with Elemental Skill also releases several energy particles making the skill a great source of energy especially if paired with Favonius Lance

Uses Of Candace's Elemental Burst

Uses Of Elemental Burst

▲ Increases Elemental DMG Bonus of the team & gives Hydro Infusion to specific weapons.

Applies Hydro Infusion To Whole Party

Candace's Elemental Burst will apply a blessing, granting all party members that use a Sword, Claymore & Poleram with Hydro infusion. Use this to your advantage to continuously apply Hydro and cause reactions!

Increases DMG Bonus Of Team

Using Elemental Burst of Candace increases the damage bonus of the team. This damage bonus does not increase with Talent Level up so no need to level up talents for Candace.

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.

Prioritize Increasing HP While Having Balanced CRIT Stats

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.
