Candace
Who is Candace?
Candace is a 4★ Hydro Polearm support from Sumeru, the Guardian of Aaru Village and a direct descendant of King Deshret. Rated C-tier, her niche is her Elemental Burst's Prayer of the Crimson Crown — which applies Hydro infusion to the active sword, claymore, and polearm user and increases the DMG of their Hydro-infused Normal Attacks. She is the preferred Hydro infusion support for Cyno and certain Yoimiya variants, and her shield-parry Skill can absorb incoming attacks to auto-charge.

スキル概要
Normal/Charged Attack (Gleaming Spear — Guardian Stance): Polearm attacks; rarely used.
Heron's Sanctum): Raises her shield and parries incoming damage; hold to charge the shield; auto-charges when struck. Deals Hydro DMG on activation.
Wagtail's Tide): Sends out a wave for AoE Hydro DMG, then enters Prayer of the Crimson Crown — infuses party sword/claymore/polearm users' Normal Attacks with Hydro and increases their elemental Normal Attack DMG.

無課金向け判断
The Catch (free fishing reward) is her best accessible weapon — ER and Burst CRIT Rate cover her needs.
Build ~180% ER to keep Prayer of the Crimson Crown on cooldown in most rotations.
HP% substats boost both her shield strength and DMG scaling.
Her C6 creates AoE Hydro DMG equal to 15% of her Max HP every 2.3s during Prayer — meaningful damage at higher HP values. Source: https://game8.co/games/Genshin-Impact/archives/386384
