Candace can function as a full support or hydro main DPS character depending on how you wanna build her.

For a support build Candace, if you’re running her with someone like Ayato who utilizes the Normal Attack (NA) buff from her Burst (Q) there is no need to level up her Q if you’re tight on resources. This is because her Elemental DMG NA buff is the same regardless if her Q is Lvl10 or Lvl1. The only difference is its off-field damage.

As for a Hydro DPS build Candace, you simply want to run her in a full Pyro team so that she can reverse Vape all her attacks. Its pretty straightforward for stat priority with Crit Rate / DMG being the most important while ER and HP% comes in second for Q uptime and damage scaling.

Problems with Candace

  • Not many characters that can utilize her specific NA buff
  • Not many characters that can benefit from her Hydro infusion
  • High ER requirement (solve by having 230+% ER if single or 180+% if double hydro in team)
