Normal Attack
Performs up to four consecutive spear strikes.
Charged Attack
Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to lunge forward, dealing damage to enemies along the way.
Plunging Attack
Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
Tap
Rushes forward with her shield, dealing Hydro DMG to opponents in front of her.
Hold
Raises her shield to block incoming attacks from nearby opponents, forming a barrier that absorbs DMG based on her Max HP and absorbs Hydro DMG 250% more effectively. This barrier lasts until the Elemental Skill is unleashed.
After holding for a certain period of time, Candace will finish charging, and when the skill button is released, the skill duration expires, or when the barrier is broken, she will perform a leaping strike that deals Hydro DMG to opponents in front of her.
Raising her weapon high, Candace calls upon a divine blessing that deals AoE Hydro DMG based on her Max HP and continuously confers the Prayer of the Crimson Crown on your active character.
Prayer of the Crimson Crown
This effect has the following properties: Characters deal increased Elemental DMG with their Normal Attacks.
Whenever a character takes the field, they will unleash a rippling wave of water that deals Hydro DMG to nearby opponents. There is a limited number of waves that can be triggered in the duration of this skill.
Sword, Claymore, and Polearm-wielding characters under this effect will obtain a Hydro Infusion.
If Candace is hit by an attack in the Hold duration of Sacred Rite: Heron’s Sanctum, that skill will finish charging instantly.
Characters affected by the Prayer of the Crimson Crown caused by Sacred Rite: Wagtail’s Tide will deal 0.5% increased DMG to opponents for every 1,000 points of Candace’s Max HP when they deal Elemental DMG with their Normal Attacks.
Decreases climbing Stamina consumption for your own party members by 20%.
Not stackable with Passive Talents that provide the exact same effects.
The duration of Prayer of the Crimson Crown effect triggered by Sacred Rite: Wagtail’s Tide is increased by 3s.
When Sacred Rite: Heron’s Sanctum hits opponents, Candace’s Max HP will be increased by 20% for 15s.
Increases the Level of Sacred Rite: Wagtail’s Tide by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
Shortens the Hold CD of Sacred Rite: Heron’s Sanctum to be the same as that of the Tapping CD.
Increases the Level of Sacred Rite: Heron’s Sanctum by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
When characters (excluding Candace herself) affected by the Prayer of the Crimson Crown caused by Sacred Rite: Wagtail’s Tide deal Elemental DMG to opponents using Normal Attacks, an attack wave will be unleashed that deals AoE Hydro DMG equal to 15% of Candace’s Max HP.
This effect can trigger once every 2.3s and is considered Elemental Burst DMG.
Building a team for Candace will mostly depend on how you utilize her support capabilities. Here are the best team compo for Genshin Impact Candace.
Candace
Candace will be the main support in this team boosting the normal attack of the team.
Xingqiu
A strong choice for a Hydro character who can utilize Candace’s utility is Xingqiu.
Yelan
Xingqiu and Yelan, together, make a duo powerful enough to carry any other teammates on the team.
Kazuha
Kazuha is easily the best choice for an Anemo unit in most cases and on most teams.
The best way to build Candace in Genshin Impact is:
A weapon hierarchy is difficult to build for Candace because personal damage is not really relevant to her use cases.
The only times you want to focus on damage are when you happen to already have the spare weapon laying around, really like the character, or when you’re forcing her into an On-Field DPS role.
The best weapons for Genshin Impact Candace include:
Base ATK 542 | CRIT Rate 44.1%
Heat Haze at Horizon’s End
The equipping character gains 52% of their Elemental Mastery as bonus ATK. When an Elemental Skill hits opponents, the Dream of the Scarlet Sands effect will be gained for 10s: The equipping character will gain 28% of their Elemental Mastery as bonus ATK. Max 3 stacks.
Base ATK 608 | CRIT DMG: 66.2%
Reckless Cinnabar
HP increased by 20~40%. Additionally, provides an ATK Bonus based on 0.8~1.6% of the wielder’s Max HP. When the wielder’s HP is less than 50%, this ATK bonus is increased by an additional 1~1.8% of Max HP.
Base ATK 674 | CRIT DMG: 22.1%
Eagle Spear of Justice
On hit, increases ATK by 3.2~6.0% for 6s. Max 7 stacks. This effect can only occur once every 0.3s. While in possession of the maximum possible stacks, DMG dealt is increased by 12~24%.
Base ATK 565| Elemental Mastery 110
Samurai Conduct
Increases Elemental Skill DMG by 6~12%. After Elemental Skill hits an opponent, the character loses 3 Energy but regenerates 3~5 Energy every 2s for the next 6s. This effect can occur once every 10s. Can be triggered even when the character is not on the field.
Base ATK 454 | Energy Recharge 61.3%
Windfall

Base ATK 354 | HP 46.9%
Bane of the Soft
Increases DMG against slimes by 40%-80%.
Since Candace’s ATK stat doesn’t matter, and this is the only HP% weapon, this can be used if your Energy Recharge requirements are satisfied.
The main stats on best artifacts for Genshin Impact Candace should be the following:
Candace’s build is fairly standard. Even as a support you often want some damage, but if you can’t get good substats, you can simply throw HP% pieces on Candace and call it a day.
Picking Candace’s artifact set is more complicated, as this changes drastically with your build.
The difference between 2pc sets is minimal, so if you can”t get another 4pc set together, just use the artifacts with the best substats, though 4pc Noblesse Oblige is about 8-10% better than any 2pc combination one can throw together, thanks to Candace’s high Energy Recharge stat.
If you’re not focusing on raw damage, then it’s okay to opt for these 4-star artifacts, as they still provide valuable utility for the team. Instructor makes the team’s elemental reactions stronger, Exile gives energy to your team, and the 5-star Noblesse Oblige set is the trademark support set. Almost any team can benefit from a 4pc Noblesse Obliger-wielder.
