Candace Build Notes: When using Candace in teams, her Elemental Skill cooldown can be too long for rotations to work properly. If Candace is not a C4 build, it's recommended to avoid getting hit and to do a tap Elemental Skill as quick as possible. Rotation Tips:
- Avoid taking unnecessary damage to minimize Elemental Skill cooldown extension.
- Use a tap Elemental Skill to quickly apply Pyro and maintain rotation speed.
- Main DPS: Candace or other Pyro users.
- Sub DPS: Hydro or Electro users for Elemental Reactions.
- Support: Healing or Shielding characters to maintain team survivability.
Candace is a 4* Hydro Support who excels at providing off-field Hydro application through her HP%-scaling Burst. Her Burst also infuses the autos of melee allies (Sword/Claymore/Polearm) with Hydro via its Prayer of the Crimson Crown effect and offers defensive utility through her Elemental Skill. While Candace is not the strongest option for teams due to her balanced kit, she shines as a consistent Hydro applier when built correctly.
To maximize her potential, focus on Energy Recharge (ER) to maintain consistent Burst uptime. This is crucial as her Burst is her primary source of Hydro application. Her weapon and artifact choices should prioritize Particle/Energy generation and ER.
### Weapon Choices:
- Favonius Lance: Best-in-slot (BIS) for Candace due to her high ER requirements. Reduces ER needs by 20% per proc, making it easier to reach 300% ER (or 200-250% with another Hydro character).
- Engulfing Lightning: Provides high ER%, making it the next best option after Favonius Lance.
- Staff of Homa and Deathmatch: Consider these if focusing on Candace's personal damage, especially at C6.
- The Catch: Strong F2P option due to its high ER and Burst-enhancing capabilities.
### Artifact Choices:
- Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City (4): Provides a 12% DMG Bonus and flat Energy refund if a Nightsoul Burst is active.
- Emblem of Severed Fate (4) and Emblem of Severed Fate (2) + Hydro Damage Bonus/Noblesse (2): The 20% ER from the 2-piece effect is essential. The 4-piece effect enhances her ER% scaling, but it is highly contested.
Focus on building Candace as a consistent Hydro applier by prioritizing ER and Particle generation through her weapon and artifacts.
