<br><br><br><br>Along with everything coming out about the _Genshin Impact _ 3.1 update, fans have gotten their first look at the new character Candace. She is appealing to many already for a unique design unfamiliar to a 4-Star character and being the first Hydro Polearm character. Initial looks at this character showcase a possible support role that could really stand out. This could lead to a shift in many team comps that could value the strength this 4-Star character may bring. <br><br><br>Despite all the excitement around the 3.0 update and everything new about it, the three new characters of 3.1 have called much attention to themselves. 5-Stars Cyno and Nilou look to be top-tier Main DPS and Utility characters respectively, while the new 3.0 characters have found their ways onto teams. New Dendro 5-Star Tighnari is making himself an excellent case for the Main DPS role on teams that utilize his Dendro reactions. At the same time, the free 4-Star Collei is making waves as a viable Sub-DPS for teams with her area of effect Dendro Elemental Burst. <br><br><br>Related: Why [https://genshinportal.com/ genshin Impact Portal] Impact's Whitewashing Of Candace Is Problematic <br><br><br>Even though Cyno and Nilou are getting a good share of the popularity, Candace may become a crucial part of many teams as she gives excellent Support and Utility buffs while being an easier-to-acquire 4-Star character. In the lore, Candace is a warrior and village protector, and part of her design is a shield on her left arm, which plays into her Elemental Skill allowing her to absorb some damage with it. Meanwhile, her Burst will give a buff to all party members akin to great Utility buffs like Bennet or Jean. Suffice it to say, early reactions lead to another powerful Hydro user joining an already competitive element while competing for top spots for a Support role. <br><br><br>Genshin Impact 3.1 Leaks: Candace Combat And Passive Talents <br><br><br><br><br><br>According to the online Genshin Database Project Amber , Candace's Normal Attack, Gleaming Spear - Guardian Stance, is similar to other Polearm users in that it is a four-hit combo. What makes it interesting is the animation uses her Shield as part of her attack pattern, which is a cool touch, though her Plunge and Charged Attacks are the same as any other Polearm user. Candace's Elemental Skill, Sacred Rite: Heron's Sanctum, is helpful in that it has both offensive and defensive features. On a tap, she will charge forward with her Shield, dealing Hydro damage, and on holding the skill, she will raise her Shield and absorb incoming damage based on her max health. <br><br><br>Absorbing Hydro damage is more effective for her, and when the charge or duration is completed, Candace will perform a leaping Hydro attack. That alone is pretty strong, akin to perhaps Genshin Impact's strongest shield character Zhongli , but Candace's Elemental Burst, Sacred Rite: Wigtail's Tide, will further increase her top-tier viability. When using her Burst, Candace will release an area of effect Hydro attack based on her max health and grant all party members the buff Prayers of the Crimson Crown, which has three effects. First, characters with the buff will deal increased elemental damage with their normal attacks. Second, when a character switches into the battle, they will release a wave of Hydro damage out to enemies. Finally, any active Sword, Claymore, and Polearm characters will get their weapons infused with Hydro. <br><br><br>To start, Candace's noncombat passive decreases climbing Stamina consumption by 20% for a player's party, a great way to preserve and increase Stamina in Genshin Impac t . Her first combat passive is Featherflow Guard, which will allow her Elemental Skill to recharge instantly if an attack hits her during the use of the skill. The second passive will give characters affected by the Prayers of the Crimson Crowd buff a 0.5% attack buff for every 1000 max health Candace has. <br><br><br>Genshin Impact Leaks: Candace's Constellations <br><br><br><br><br><br>Final impressions will have to wait until Candace is fully released in Genshin Impact , but initial reactions would seem to have her benefit most from having some of her Constellations. Candace getting at least to C2 gives her supportiveness another boost of strength, while getting Candace to C6 would definitely help chip in extra damage. <br><br><br>Constellation 1: Returning Heir of the Scarlet Sands<br><br><br>The duration of buff Prayer of the Crimson Crown is increased by three seconds. <br><br><br>Constellation 2: Moon-Piercing Brilliance<br><br><br>When Candace's Elemental Skill hits an opponent, her max health will increase by 20% for 15 seconds. <br><br><br>Constellation 3: Hunter's Supplication<br><br><br>Increases the level of Elemental Burst Sacred Rite: Wagtail's Tide, which could be one of the best 4-Star Elemental Bursts , by three. <br><br><br>Constellation 4: Sentinel Oath<br><br><br>This shortens the hold cooldown of Elemental Skill Sacred Rite: Heron's Sanctum to match the tap cooldown. <br><br><br>Related: Genshin Impact: How To Unlock Sumeru Reputation Board <br><br><br>Constellation 5: Golden Eye<br><br><br>C5 increases Candace's level of Elemental Skill Sacred Rite: Heron's Sanctum by three. <br><br><br>Constellation 6: The Overflow<br><br><br>When characters who are not Candace deal Elemental Damage while having the buff Prayer of the Crimson Crown, they will unleash the Hydro wave attack from Elemental Burst Wagtails Tide. Characters can trigger this effect every 2.3 seconds. <br><br><br>Genshin Impact Character Leaks: Candace's Ascension Materials &amp; Special Dish <br><br><br><br><br><br>Like fellow Sumeru Hydro character Nilou, Candace's Ascension material is the Lazurite gems, and then new items coming in 3.1: the desert fruit Redcrest, a new Sash/Satin material line, and Light Guiding Tetrahedrons, which can be obtained from Semi-Perpetual Control Matrices. For her Talents, Candace will need Tears of the Calamitous God from the Raiden Shogun boss fight and the new Admonition book series found in Sumeru Domains. Finally, Candace's Special Dish is the rice dish Utmost Care, crafted with two tomatoes, three rice, two flour, and two of a currently unknown new food material. Utmost Care replenishes 80 stamina when it is consumed. <br><br><br>Candace may not be as flashy as Cyno and Nilou, but she is certainly not lacking in the strength department, especially for a 4-star character who will be easier to obtain on Banners. Much of how Candace plays and how she will be built is still up in the air and will have to wait till release for players to figure out. However, one thing is for sure: She has the potential to be one of the best Support characters in _Genshin Impact . _<br><br><br>Source: Project Amber <br>
