Candace
HydroSupport / Buffer
ASSESSMENTB
Candace is a 4-star Hydro Support / Buffer in Genshin Impact. Candace is a 4-star Hydro Polearm character and the guardian of Aaru Village, scaling her entire kit off Max HP to deliver shields, off-field Hydro application, and a team-wide Normal Attack buff. Her Elemental Burst, Prayer of the Crimson Crown, infuses the active character's Normal Attacks with Hydro and grants a 20% Elemental DMG bonus — a niche but potent toolkit for Sword, Claymore, and Polearm DPS units who want to drive Hydro-based reactions through their Normal Attacks. Her A4 passive stacks an additional 0.5% Elemental Normal Attack DMG bonus per 1,000 Max HP, incentivizing deep HP investment and widening the gap between a budget and optimized build. She doubles as a reactive shielder: her Hold Skill absorbs 12.0% of her Max HP in damage with 250% increased efficiency against Hydro hits, and her A1 instantly finishes the charge if she takes a hit mid-hold. Candace is a niche enabler whose ceiling is gated by team composition above all else.
