yeh its fun not raising her talents coz scaling is so bad and being a total burden to the team and making us spend elsewhere like 5 star weapons or cons for the rest of the team since her dmg is so bad and her support is so subpar to anything out there just to make use of her for the ones that actually like her. nice one on mihoyo tho. sucks for almost everybody else, easy skip tho.

Wasn't last meta 4 star yunjin, and before that sara and gorou. While I do agree that they are pretty niche but they do out perform everyone else in their niche.

The infusion isn't tied to a circle, that makes her good already

[@sofieberger8851]

My poor chongyun. I realy love the infusion playstyle. But even after trying, the circle killed him for me. And he was cryo. Candace has no circle. Candace has the more versatile element. Candace has inherent damage buff (20%+20% constellation). Looks promising.

[@marclenraymagdaraog691]

I agree that her infusion is honestly good but at the same time kinda too late since the amount of 4* hydro that can do better exists. What sucks is her damage potential is very bad. at least Chongyun has a lot of good constellations and has insane damage. but the circle is bad. Candace has good skills but the scaling is horrible. it barely buffs your team in terms of damage and is less than 20% overall buff to your team. What's even bad? Can't say it's bad or good but her Entire talent burst at level 1 vs level 9 is literally no change at all in terms of dmg. her SHield has scaling but other than that nothing. Her cons doesn't buff her too much aside from c1 too. so it's a pro. not a con but also locks her out of future potential.

I found her extremely effective with a combo of permafreeze and hyperbloom. Her infusion is a great source of both freeze and bloom, and since cryo doesnt interfere with dendro, it becomes a great side of her kit. Very effective against single target freezable enemies like the big samurai

It's not that she doesn't work, the issue is other supports just do her role better. For eg when you said she works great in freeze and bloom, you can simply replace her with xingque or yelan and get way better results.

Kuki syndrome = reversed powercreep. Characters get stronger as time passes instead of getting outdated. If it's really intended, it's pretty smart from on Hoyoverse. And it even rewards players who have faith in their favorite character from the beginning because they'll get C6 faster. Edit : now that I think about it, Kokomi and Yoimiya also were "reversed powercreep" characters. I don't think it was planned, but you could argue the same happened to Keqing.

[@sofieberger8851]

Only problem, i will not pull for Cyno or Nilou until a good Dendro applier is released. More pulls during theire re-run i guess. So not a big deal.

Kokomi and Yoimiya not the same case as Kuki or Keqing. Ppl didn't know how to use Kokomi then she got released but tools for her usage were in game already. Yoimiya also did a good DMG but just got better supports later. If u place Kokomi and Yoimiya into the same line with Kuki and Keqing u should add here Hu Tao (who got Yelan and Elegy) and Ayaka (who got Shenhe) too. Or anyone else who was released before Kazuha I'm saying that Kokomi or Yoimiya just got the straight buffs with better supports or artifacts (long story short - just numbers) but Kuki and Keqing got much better with new mechanics

there were always better options than kuki before dendro, zhongli did basically everything kuki did but he also does a reasonable amount of personal dmg and can shred resistances, she was alright but not really the best at anything.. however now she's pretty great w hyperbloom, so probably the same thing will happen to candace bc she's not a bad unit, it's just that there are only a few units that can take advantage of her atm.

[@GlamrockFronnie]

She actually doesn't synergies with Nilou at all Because Hoyoverse came up with the smart idea to make Nilou's E count as Elemental skill dmg Nilou also scales off of HP, while her NA's have atk scaling But if u do balance atk and hp, like idk a jade cutter or just some atk on artifacts, then I think she could be viable a little

[@marclenraymagdaraog691]

Kuki is meant for hyperbloom and that's it. there's no character in the game that can activate dendro cores to hyperbloom than her. Raiden doesn't always hit all of them and raiden doesn't work with full EM build. Kuki on the other hand can work with it easily. Candace right now is bad. she has potential in the future but that's like c6 bennet kind of potential. Weapon Infusions are known to be bad due to how hard it is to utilize it on teams and not to mention her burst doesn't scale with levels. also I doubt she'd fit with Nilou since Nilou already infuses her basic hits with hydro so that's redundant not to mention we're gonna need a dendro healer and we can just use another hydro unit like Xinqui to give resistance immunity.

idk, if character is fun to play and can do decent damage (not talking about one shot enemies, but about dealing enough damage to clear the content), this character has right to exist. all those people saying "i better use yunjin/bennet/etc" well, imagine scenario: you want to use yunjin/bennet for another team. also, don't forget that some people just don't have yunjin/bennet/etc, and they still want something similar (*flashbacks to getting first fischl almost at ar57*). but not the exact copy, because then people will whine "oh, well, it's just another (insert character name), that's boring". also that's good that they give similar units but with different elements - now you can have elemental resonance for free if you want. like, "oh well, i am dying too quickly, i can't dodge, but i can take 2 hydro to me team for some extra health" (same goes to other resonances). and, ye, famous "this character is bad because he/she is weak" right until new meta/new character that works well with that one arrives. also, small thing people should remember that when bennet/xingqiu/xiangling were released, game had not that many characters to choose from, ofc they had to be one man army and do all the job to actually sell the game, while now the main selling points are designs and lore. conclusion: if you like her kit, pull for her. if you think that you could invest in her and still enjoy her even she is not another another xingqiu or yunjin, pull her. if you want her just for collection, pull for her. if you like her design, pull for her. if you like her character, pull for her. if she is just another hot waifu, pull for her. after all, it's just a game, and games are for entertainment and for making you feel better and have fun in any possible way, not "oh no, you should invest in other character just because they are better even if you don't like them".

[@marclenraymagdaraog691]

OMG dude we all know, :v obviously if something better for the main character exists it's better to use that since it's "BETTER" for obvious reasons of course but for clearing overworld content doesn't matter if your team has no synergy she's still fine to use. It's just she isn't gonna shine right now since theres no character that specifically needs her infusion. But obviously she is good and everyone can use her, but the fact that if they already have a character that can do decent no need to over invest on her if they are looking for something to increase their damage potential rather than a waifu. :V it's applying logic. not everyone is a whale that can spend their primogems as fragile resin to level characters. they have to be smart otherwise they would just be annoyed more.

[@yogijames27]

Hey IWTLG, just wanted to do a friendly reminder to put your C0 showcases in the playlist, I noticed all aren't there, but anyways great vid

[@MisguidingWish]

I love how Zhongli can deal same amount of DMG with literally any type of infusion.

[@helper_bot]

his phys is pretty good but thats just because his 2nd passive and the multiplier

[@TheDramacist]

I really wasnt getting her. But using her as a support DPS with Albedo and Ayato (especially equipping Ayato with summit shaper for the shield attack buff). Now I have a team that all nuke

[@M-Pleague]

For real she looks like a 5 star

[@ra6765]

Im still going to play and experiment around with her (just like I did with Thoma) but im still baffled as to why they are just adamantly refusing to make another Bennet/Xiangling/Xingqiu tier 4 star. Powercreep should honestly not be an issue since the whole purpose of powercreep is to sell the new characters. Plus you can always balance the powercreeping to not get it out of control

[@luke-il5nr]

Why make a good 4* if mihoyo can make a good 5* and earn more money. Sadly if they can't get money it's very unlikely they will make something

[@amandaslough125]

The game needs to last another like 3 years and not make all the initial units suck. They're making them balanced. Which is good since we are getting non traditional scaling now.

Ayyy a showcase where you actually use the character being showcased. I approve. 👍

[@Violetttt24]

Mihoyo has been recently creating underwhelming 4*. I hope Layla isn’t underwhelming :(

[@joaquinperezramos677]

Oh no the new hydro character isnt Bennett a shame truly

[@Violetttt24]

@@joaquinperezramos677 that’s not what I mean. She’s a weaker Yunjin. Why use her when u can use Yunjin. Why use her for hydro application when there is Xingqui. Her only great thing is Hydro infusion but at c0 it’s there for such a small amount of time compared to c1. At c6 her explosion is fine but it doesn’t apply to her so she isn’t the greatest dps. Her multipliers are extremely low. Her elemental damage buff with her ult is a static 20%. It doesn’t increase which means If ur running support Candace u don’t need to level her talents at all.

[@Violetttt24]

But atleast her theme and design and animation slaps. So play who u want

Beidou and her will be fun I guess and I'm planning to make it if I got her

[@elgoblino4188]

I just wish they would make decent characters in terms of DMG or utility but that seem like a tall drink for them...

[@dnoyrnoptere3499]

I wonder if an hydro 4p BS Rosaria can do wonder with Candace, Yunjin and Sucrose =D (Proto Amber or Sayu if heal needed/for 4* run)

[@FOF275]

Been using Tighnari with Xinqiu and Raiden, throwing out some normals during his e cooldown with Xinqiu's ult and it's really fun. It's not meta and probably not optimal, but I'll take that same logic and have Hu Tao freeze with Candace + Kaeya's ult then melt after with her own e. Should be a interesting experiment

[@yuuki6390]

The Kuki syndrome is a wise word and honestly, you couldn't have put it in a better way. Candace's design is so beautiful as well as her personality. But for her kit? Nah. Let's not talk about that for now. Besides, hoping for a buff is pointless coz as long as cn players don't speak against hoyoverse, then hoyoverse ain't doing anything.

[@tvHazart]

When her weapon comes, the buff she gives will be even greater, can't wait to try it

[@daringplays3966]

I wanna see Candace with Nilou I think they will work really well together ^_^

[@LieLoops]

Been waiting for this.

[@pyronado4320]

One thing you didn't mention is the opportunity cost of running her. Sure ayato deals more damage after using her but what are you using in the other team in her place ? Oh you did at end my bad

[@kwonza-gamingandanime5727]

Having a bunch of op characters + their constellations and recently hitting AR60, I only roll for characters I think are cute or waifu now. Candace definitely fits that-I have reached the true end game of Genshin.

[@taylorb6189]

Candace is OP because she’s hot. End of story. Looks like a 5 star aesthetic-wise. Also she strikes me as a great character for a new account as she does a little bit of everything.

[@Kaiji...]

Except it'll take a new account 3~ months to level her up unless they marathon to Sumeru ASAP & if it was me, I'd be annoyed I didn't progress normally through the game at my own pace.

[@taylorb6189]

@@Kaiji... you can walk over to sumeru suuuper early in the game

[@Kaiji...]

@@taylorb6189 you'll still ruin the usual progression route (Mondstat -> Liyue -> Inazuma -> Chasm -> Sumeru), but true, if you liked her enough you could easily just sprint to Sumeru.

[@mercix_vt]

i started Genshin just a week ago and pulled her on my about 60-70th wish i never regretted because my world was lv2 and she deal SO MUCH damage as main DPS, i only got 4 star Artifacts but all 4 piece compatible, HP 10k, Damage 300-600 damage solo, but buff with ice element or Lisa's "E" 3 stack, it makes my Candace deal over 10k-30k damage just from single charged Candace "E" i do not have much intelligence and knowledge in Genshin but i only wanted my waifu Keqing from wish and got Candace, Candace is my new waifu now, i love her so much, she is the only 4 star character i would look into once again, i love Candice, as an water element character + she is tall, cute, stronk and gives me chills in my heart

[@ladykushina9292]

8:50 u had food buff on which one did you eat. In this video 😩 my Candace hits 100k but I done use Kazuha though :( or Klee or Yelan my Candace has been triple crowned since her banner first came n I have yet to see her do 300k n I’m using staff of the homeless on her

[@Rachitdubey]

5:45 you used attack sands for an HP scaling character. Did you not know that E damage won't get buffed by Atk sanda at all?

[@twirlpolicy]

5:37 he alr mentioned that he doesn't have a good em or hp sands for candace

Interesting review. I was thinking if making her a DPS a valid option, glad you could answer that XD

[@SenpaiMayNotice]

One use could be for bloom builds with full em dendro traveler infused with hydro applying the bloom. Team could be built around boosting bloom damage one way or another, have dendro shred with someone else while traveler uses the new em artifact set to max their own em. Tho idk if that's the best performance for bloom or not

[@JohnDoe-oq2fx]

So far I have been doing what I normally do and bring a character up to level 50 to for the 2nd Standard fate. Candice seems more durable that average for the lower level, but she should be due to her shield. I agree with Gotcha Gamer... her burst is too short. As far as character design she is one of my favorites in the whole game, has a nice voice in English and decent voice lines. Its really nice to have a gorgeous character on the field. Pity that what role she is largely designed for there are multiple characters who are better at it. NOTE: For open world exploration. Candice does more damage to rocks with her basic attacks than other pole arm users do. She is not quite reaching greatsword level of rock breaking, but definitely beats other polearm and 1 hand sword users basic attacks.

[@wahyuwirawan727]

Why use normal atk to break rock? Her hold skill similar to Zhongli or Razor that instantly break ton of rock in small area. I found out this also effective to breaking rock shield like lawacurl or geo slime. And even more dmg in vap combo.

[@sacrashin]

When the first leaks about her came out I was really hoping she'd be an hp scaling hydro shielder. That would've been simply perfect for my Hu Tao so I could finally free Zhongli for the other abyss half but sadly he's still married to my Hu Tao. I don't really like these counter mechanics because it kinda feels like a wasted skill. Barely anyone uses Beidou for her counter (when the game came out some people were using her for her counter but not anymore) and I'm almost certain that the same will happen with Candace. Her burst really has good supportive potential though and I love her design :D

[@ph5.484]

If she had a proper shield I honestly think it would fix almost everything, as long as the shield is decent. And tbh, I was ready to accept the counter if it has to be that but then why on earth is her knockback so bad? Surely the devs should know by now thst knockback is more of a hindrance than a help. I like playing her otherwise but the knockback feels so bad.

[@hesh7630]

definitely dps candace best weapon is homa, shes like hydro hu tao!

[@mikecleo3152]

Her combo attack and shield slam skill make her a great non-claymore ore smasher. Are there any other characters that aren't claymore users that can do the same?

[@thomaslefort-duviolier5611]

I never thought i would see a world where my zhongli could be my main hydro dps with candace

[@svahn1]

I managed to get Candace to C4 while pulling for Cyno and I'm very happy. Neither are properly built or even leveled yet but at the moment I'm liking her even better than Cyno.

[@jaguh9069]

Kuki syndrome pretty much sums up her case. She is maybe Nilou support but for sale purposes, HYV put her in Cyno banner but Cyno doesn't have support that can support his field time (18 seconds). Nahida looks to be support for all new Sumeru dps that is gonna be released, probably the same as Raiden is the answer to all Inazuman dps energy issues.

[@cptguerreiro1253]

Fun fact: Candace's infusion works with Ayaka in a weird way making some of her attacks hidro while others cryo because of ayaka's sprint

[@andrecezar7570]

ok she using her shield to block the lego laser was pretty lit

[@-13eNnY-]

Guess you forgot that Keqing's self infusion can be overridden.

[@kaialsh4321]

Thats why i wait for your videos before pulling.

[@raiasha701]

The last clip of Xingqiu on field was nice :D

[@bradohms]

I can’t believe he made her work, I thought she was weak

[@peterbabicki8252]

Bet she'd work well with Yelan at C4 _(not that many people have a C4 Yelan)_ but she boosts party HP by 40% for 25 seconds after using her skill. This would boost Candace's burst by a considerable amount too. Not to mention having hydro resonance for being paired with Yelan in the first place _(both of which benefit from the HP resonance)_
