I really want Candace. I keep getting Kuki. I even got Heizou and he's not even on the banner.
I think the only problem is that in spiral I feel bc of how awkward she is you won’t see a lot of people use her there but anywhere else it doesn’t matter. There’s no meta outside of that so use who you want. Cool character who is pretty unique
I really wish cancace C6 worked on herself.
Why must they force me to play support candace. I want to play on field main dps with her!
I rolled on Cyno banner just to get her at least once and I did it! She's so gorgeous, her design is my fav so far for sure and she is a sweetheart 🙂 But her kit is really disappointing for me personally, I think it would be ok if they made her a better support and I don't understand why they made her scaling non-existing…I will still use her for fun tho
"I'm personally hesitant to recommend it, but if you're thinking of a dps build no one can stop you"
Why did this make me laugh so much
Anyways, I'm leveling her up. I don't care if she's not meta. I did the same with Kuki and now here we are
Does she work with a Raiden comp?
This helps a lot as a new player who got her twice and jade spear in same pull, instead of venti 🙁
She looks like a character from yu GI oh
Try this team: Shinobi, heizou, college and Candace. Even unbuilt they're still awesome.
i think people are forgetting that she's the only hydro shielder and that if you want a boost on infused normal attacks without breaking double resonance, then she's possibly one of the best options there are. If you had to rely on zhongli for shielding/shredding and/or Yunjin for normal attack boosts, then you'd be breaking, for example, yoimiya with Bennet and another hydro applicator (like Yelan or Xingqiu).
Yes, she has issues. yes, compared to xingqiu her Q's attacks are pathethic.
BUT… this is a character that would get her kit "fixed" if she had some off-field shielding or gave the team resistance to interruption with her skills/talents. Hydro Application, healing and that kind of thing are gameplay problems that have been solved already by plenty of existing characters, i don't think she has to be evaluated by those parameters, because it's obvious that a new character is supposed to fill a new role/a new niche, rather than run up for already well satisfied roles.
Love her design but not her abilities. As a matter of fact I am not liking any 4 star character since the release of inazuna in 2.0. Some characters like sayu and kujo sara are good but compare to to the god of 4 stars, bennette, they are nothing. And the quality and usage of characters is also becoming very specific every update.
I know many ppl will think that i am being salty but try to understand my feeling. After seeing candace's leaks I thought I can use her as hydro hutao but after her official release I was disappointed with her performance and kit. Maybe she will be good in future but for not, she is a character on which i am not wasting my resources on.
Kuki+Dendro MC+Candace+Yun Jin= main DPS MC with constant blooms and heavy damage autos.
Must admit I appreciate the pun at 0:33.
I don't get all of this hopium about Mihoyo planning to release characters that'll make Candace better that I keep seeing everywhere. At this point it isn't hopium, it's copium. Like yeah Kuki is now better but that's cause of Dendro which is an element, not a single character. Characters like Amber, Xinyan, Aloy, Geo/Anemo traveller and more are still trash to extremely niche if heavily invested into two years later.
Though just to be clear it's not that I hope that we won't get characters that'll make her better, it's just that this hopium is really coming out of nowhere especially looking at past forgotten characters.
Her C1 is so lazy. It should be 12 seconds at C0.
Her design was enough reason to pull for her, also I wanted Venti so it was a win.
Will candace be useful on a team with hu tao, or on a team with permafreeze ayaka, or is yelan better for both?
Got her on a x10 roll the day after I came home from an overseas deployment but I'm so far behind that it's gonna take me forever to level her up and build her. Still grateful nonetheless
I just pulled for her because she's so beautiful…thanks for the video!
Does Yunjin and Candace buff stack?
For a team that I would like to call Superman Childe?
I'm using her with Eula, Kazuha and Kokomi, it's a really fun team
Oh look another trash 4-stars but with good design. Nothing new here.
Can candace hydro infusion override diluc’s elemental burst pyro infusion
I fear Candace will reveal herself with Fontaine release
I feel she would work well with kokomi
I think it's unfair to say Yun Jin is better than her. I guess there are some situations where Yun Jin would be better but there are also situations where Candace would be better so I guess they are kinda equal, at least for me. We should not forget that Yun Jin has a 30 hit quota on her burst which can easily be depleted if you're fighting mobs. I guess against bosses, you can fully utilize Yun Jin's burst and is better than Candace but against mobs, yeah she' way worse than Candace especially for Ayato.
Ayato has a total of 15 slashes on his E. If you have three enemies, she can only buff 10 slashes of Ayato. With 5 enemies, it's reduced to 6 slashes. This fact should not be ignored cause Candace can buff all of Ayato's slashes in all cases. I guess we can put it this way for 2 strongest normal attackers in the game.
For Ayato team comps, Candace is better than Yun Jin for these reasons:
1. Hydro Resonance
2. She can buff all of Ayato's slashes may it be against boss or mobs
3. She can battery Ayato better than Yun Jin
For Yoimiya team comps, Yun Jin would be better because Yoimiya's normal attacks are single target, meaning she can utilize Yun Jin's buff on its whole duration. Other reasons are:
1. Yun Jin is a Geo, you can run Double Geo if you have Zhongli or Tanky Noelle.
2. I can't think of any other reasons.
There's a problem with Yun Jin though. She's easily replaceable or most of the time would not be the option to put on a Yoimiya Team. If a person has Yelan and Zhongli, Yun Jin can become non-existent.
I guess Yun Jin's only ups against Candace is she buffs better and thus making her better than her only against bosses and certain characters Yoimiya but that's about it. Another thing, we should also not forget that Candace doesn't need too much investment as a full support unit. You literally just have to Level her to 90 give her the right artifact sets with the right main stat. At most, you can literally ignore leveling up her talents which can help you save resources not to mention she's flexible with her builds. As for Yun Jin, if you want to get the most buff, you would want to run her with either Arachaic Petra or Husk which are yeah
1. I don't think I ever see people dedicately farmed in the Archaic Petra domain.
2. Husk domain is only good if you have Itto Albedo or is building Noelle, otherwise not really good.
So, yeah that's my take on comparing Yun JIn and Candace and feel free to correct me if I wrote something wrong.
The most obvious reason to use her is the climbing passive, the only 4* character with this passive. I leveled her up to level 50 for this sole purpose.
I've been using as a dps with raiden for a battery.
Just sharing something amazing in Candace's normal attack that I've accidentally pulled off.
If you hit the shield bash attack on a Frozen target, it can do a Shatter dmg. Even the tap version of her Elem Skill, it still does Shatter. Here I thought that only claymores and explosions can do Shatter, but with polearm normal attack? Only Candace can.
She's good in early game, pulled her on my alt.
I really love the idea of using her infusion with Xiangling so she can vape her own pyronado, but there are obviously more efficient teams to pick for better damage. I probably won’t use her in the abyss yet, but it’s fun to play around with in the open world. If nothing else, it’s taken me back to the early days when my world level was too high for my unbuilt characters and I was trying to figure out how to synergize the few good chars I actually had.
she works well with kazuha fridge team comp. infusing kazuha means that he will be creating all the dendro cores with his massive EM.
I really hope she becomes a meta 4 star character in the next year bc she is one of the coolest looking characters in the whole game. Her attacks look great, her kit is like a worst YunJin so I'm hoping they give her an limited time weapon that gives her a lot of HP/ER and maybe even have a similar affect as Staff of Homa with the HP increase and HP perc that increases ER perc and all ER perc converts to EM. Thats wishful thinking but it's totally possible to make her a weapon that could make her one of the best four stars
Is feels such a shame that Candance Burst overrides Diluc Pyro infusion. That way he could basically vaporize consistently both in and out of his burst window.
Some rotation like that:
Xingq E Q (E) -> Candence (E) -> Flex (Bennett QE, Anemo VV, Catalyst Thrilling holder, etc) -> Diluc QE -> Xingq Q ends-> Candence Q -> Diluc Double Weave till Qs are up.
I got her and you are spot on! Love the design but not well thought out kit. Her damage doesn't add up. Wish she was a healer; She would have been 1st polearm healer.
As expected her kit is subpar. Such a waste of a wonderful design. It feels like we'll get stuck with niche 4 star units all the way along.
