why Candace and Xingqiu are actually AMAZING together | Genshin Impact 3.1

by



Candace and Xingqiu have a very powerful team synergy that I wanted to go over, and I had only just found it last week after running on copium for my inability to fit Candace into any teams as a notable character. SO, this video will explain EVERYTHING you need to know about the Candace & Xingqiu team core and how to build them to work together in 3.1 Genshin Impact!

DISCLAIMER:
Many of my god duo videos focus exclusively on the game’s strongest pairings (strongest as in extremely high damage output together), but this pairing actually focuses more on the aspect of enabling and utility. I hope I made that as clear as possible so as not to confuse players hoping to find some sort of Xingqiu + Yelan level of damage from these two, because that’s not the point or purpose of this video/synergy.

  1. corrections:

    In the Kazuha side-by-side, Kazuha’s team actually struggles with Hyperblooms on the second half of the fight because the Geovishap leaves DMC’s burst.
    So actually Kazuha’s team should pull ahead of Candace’s in this scenario, but it’s also important to note that this Kazuha DOES have c2, so it’s difficult to say exactly how that team will compete with a Candace Hyperbloom case-by-case, and the ONLY factors taken into account with this specific side-by-side are Kazuha's EDMG buff / hydro shred for Xingqiu's personal hydro damage + the EM bonus for Hyperbloom damage.

    Also:

    while these synergies may not be the strongest in terms of damage output, there are quite a few other benefits to talk about and consider. I do usually restrict my 'God Duo' series to the MOST notable and powerful duos, but in this case I felt that the value you get for the investment makes this a duo worth discussing 🙂

    additional note:
    you CAN theoretically swap Xingqiu with other hydro units but you’re costing survivability, budget friendliness, rare hydro shred (if you have it), and you’re cutting out quite a bit of practicality with role consolidation.

  4. Another team that you can use Candace in: Double Hydro Hu Tao. When Yelan was introduced, Double Hydro Hu Tao gain prominence largely thanks to hydro resonance rework, but the issue is that Yelan is a five star and limited. We only have two hydro 4 stars during that time. Xingqiu and Barbara. Sure you could put Childe/Ayato in a flex slot for the resonance or Mona for the DMG boost but then you would get more from Double Pyro Hu Tao instead with Xiangling or Thoma. So this is where Candace steps, she can fulfill Hydro Resonance, diminish Xingqiu's ER need, and more importantly is her A4 Passive. She gives Elemental Bonus to your party member upon activating her burst. This is beneficial for Hu Tao as if you run with Kazuha, Kazuha will likely proc Hydro so no Pyro Bonus for your Tao and you only get shred, same goes to Zhongli. Candace can help fill in the gaps, to provide Hu Tao, Pyro Bonus Damage while Kazuha/Zhongli provides Shred. Another Bonus, you can just keep her Talents as 1/1/1 and only invest her level, HP, ER, and weapon.

  7. I just got skyward blade on my standard banner, and its passive makes me think who is a good sword dps, and I thought about xingqiu and candace would work!

    skyward blade xingqiu might be good as well with 4pc HoD. Skyward blade – Emblem still good, but maybe too much ER ? I'm so excited to try this xingqiu candace team core.

  8. If you are starting now, candace is useless, you can take her and then wait to raise her when xinq with some cons comes home, for veterans she is also useless unless you really love Xinq as main dps or you like her more with hayato amd you have nothing better to do with your resor. You know, yoi still have to farm all that shit

  13. A team comp I've actually been enjoying is Kaeya, C6 Candace, Xingqiu, and a flex unit. I unexpectedly realized how synergistic my Kaeya is on this team: runs 2PC Blizz+2PC Glad with an Atk% Goblet (sounds copium, but it's one of my best artifact pieces bc of its ~25% Crit dmg) so he doesn't lose out on any Cryo dmg bonuses from Candace's infusion AND I use Haran Geppaku Futsu on him, which gives All elemental DMG bonus passively. (best budget substitute I can think of is 4PC Blizzard with Cool Steel for the dmg increase against Hydro and Cryo affected foes)

    Combined with Xingqiu's C2, Kaeya actually has around 32 Hydro DMG bonus from this team I run. And I've crowned my Kaeya's NA talent, so when all parts are working together, he can hit for over 10K on his final 2 hits of his normals!

    But yeah. The flex can be Xiangling for Reverse Melts and Forward Vapes, An Anemo Grouper/VV Shredder, Yun Jin… whatever you want!

  16. I was looking for a possibility to swap Kazooha with Candace in my Ayaka freeze team, and this video showed me that this could actually be a decent choice (I also forgot about Hydro resonance, and this'll make Xingqiu healing way better), but the Hyperbloom team you showed also looks very interesting since I have all the required characters and weapons, so I'll maybe try it out too

  30. As Xingqui burst does not snapshot, Bennett burst could buff Xingqui burst while he is on field. A Candace-Bennett-Xingqui-Xiangling team could also be viable and strong.
