How Candace Became Good | Best Teams, Builds & Weapons

[@MarikaStarflower]

I saw the title and my first thought was "Is she imprisoned? How did I miss that?"

[@azuarc]

We're embarking on an Ocean's Eleven style heist to free her from the Sanctuary of Surasthana.

Love Mualani for finally giving me a team for Candace. That normal attack damage bonus her burst gives is perfect for Mualani.

she is the new Bennet as: dont activate her C6 otherwise you might ruin some synergies, the best thing you can do right now with her is to leave her at C5 lmao

[@kentsotes9897]

This video is pithy and comedic. I love how you made a timeline of the character's performance. It makes you appreciate the changes throughout the years of gameplay . This type of format is unique in my experience and concise which gives new player insights on how the character could be played in different teams and could assist them to decide which characters to look forward in the future banners. And of course, the humor is the cherry on top. Also, will Iansan be our only dark chocolate in Natlan or will she ascend and become a generic chocolate?

[@WhoopiSoulberg]

"Ascend and become a generic chocolate" 😂 glad you liked the video mate! I like the format so I've done the same for a few characters, definitely gonna be a format I stick to. I hope they at least let Iansan stay as she is, I'm looking forward to her release

[@Fuchsfabrik]

Very great work here! I really liked the team-history summary for the bigger part of the video. I'm the kind of long time player that does not need tips for building, rather I come looking for nuances, in whichever way they present themselves, which in case of your video, made up 6,5 min of the playtime. I enjoyed it. Thank you.

[@WhoopiSoulberg]

Yeah the teams and playstyle parts of the videos are always the most fun to me so that's what I try to focus on 🙌 glad to see others like yourself feel the same way

[@binsarm9026]

​@@WhoopiSoulberg so much better this way! rather than "this unit is good for this and that, build them like this, then play them like that" you show the possible teams right off the bat and explain why they work and what part of her kit does it. I'm sure there are many players (like myself) who don't care about meta but pull for characters they like and guides like this are more useful in giving ideas on how to make them work. very well done mate 🍻

[@WhoopiSoulberg]

@@binsarm9026 I appreciate the kind words mate thank you for watching I'll make sure I keep the quality up!

[@RafaelGonzalez-vs2bu]

There are always smooth brains saying this one or that one character is better. Who cares you can use her in the theater along with the other plus she’s beautiful.

[@WhoopiSoulberg]

Agreed, obviously she isn't the best unit but definitely worth building and the fact that she's free is nice 🙌 she's getting better with new units too

[@Kalagni1000]

Her synergy with Mualani are so good! Hydro resonance. Mualani can battery Candace so she can build with less ER and full HP which make Candace buff for Mualani even stronger. Finally with Xilonen, we can get buffer, debuffer and Healer in one package. Good stuff. The only downside are we can't escape Xiangling. Her pyro app are to good for single target and AOE 😅😅😅.

[@WhoopiSoulberg]

So true Mualani and Candace work really well together 🙌 I can’t wait for Mavuika and more pyro units this region I’m done with Xiangling 😭

[@pronoun171]

I really appreciate guides that show off multiple teams since accounts are so different between players. I do feel that "white chocolate" bias is true 😢

[@WhoopiSoulberg]

Hope the guide gave you a team or two to use 🙏

Thanks for the kind words mate they’re getting me through a bad day at work! I love doing guides for niche characters so I’m not gonna stop any time soon 🙌

[@NorthWolf97]

One thing I'm attempting is Arlecchino, C6 Candance, Sucrose and C2 Xilonen. That's 76% def shred on Pyro + Sucrose giving Arlecchino a bunch of EM for free. My Candance is currently at 31k HP and 260% ER. Sucrose is gonna have about 840 EM and Arlecchino sits at 3,004 ATK thanks to Xilonen's C2. Hoping it ends up well. I saw another video using Bennet instead of Xilonen hitting 300k+ normals/Vaporize during burst window.

[@nkosiezikalala5267]

[@henrxv]

Really nice quick video on Candaka history and DPS playstyle. Would've loved if you talked about the mualani supp option a bit more. Subbed!

[@WhoopiSoulberg]

My bad I was trying to keep the video as short as possible but Candace is a nice f2p option for Mualani, Favonius Lance and 4pc Cinder City or 4pc Instructor and you're good to go 🙌

[@caparashon]

I'm an Arlecchino main and my Candace is C5 so I see this as an absolutely win. I've always planned to build her when I got her C6. Bless the event! Thanks for the guide too, I wasn't sure how to build her

[@WhoopiSoulberg]

Ayyy have fun with the Arlecchino Candace team! 🙌

[@caparashon]

@@WhoopiSoulberg Welp, seeing the banner's 4* I might not even need the event's free Candace. Eugh, those were the choices of all time. At least I'll have a lot of staglitter

[@droidgameplays4123]

Hey I run xinqui sucrose bennet and arlch. Do you think Candace will boost arlch damage better than xinqui ?

[@caparashon]

@@droidgameplays4123 I have no idea, my dude/gal. You probably have a better chance asking him directly than in a thread. Xingqiu might probably have better hydro application than her especially with cons. Candace is only good at C6 but she does AOE so for waves it's probably more fun. In single target I'd prefer XQ or Yela though. No idea if her buffs are super significant vs a pure buffer like Kazuha or Xilonen. XQ doesn't buff Arle but he gives her resistence to interruption and makes it comfier. So idk, I'd stick to XQ in your team since father has no protection whatsoever and he works in all cons. If you get Candace's C6, I'd build both and use them in different sutuations

[@JOSHUAj519]

I just got Candace and immediately build her. Gonna try this infusion squad consisting of C6 Bennett, C5 Chongyun, Candace(soon be C1) and Xilonen.

i find a weird synergie with the C6 kachina , when C6 kachina and Candace are in the same team the E of candace do hydro + geo dommage so it's instant hydro cristal , with 4 piece petra = 35% hydro dommage, the ultimate of candace infuse hydro on normal atk for Hast/sword/G-sword + 20% dmg on normal atk , Kachina use the natlan support set is even more 28% of elemental dmg , sound good on the paper but i can't try it bcz i didn't build them for now,i'm not a theorie crafter so idk how calculate it and what main DPS using with this but definetly need to be try i gess

coming from someone who thus far has only used xianyun with gaming - how were you canceling candace’s plunges? i tried but it doesn’t seem like polearm users can do the usual dash cancels. were you canceling with a normal atk instead?

[@WhoopiSoulberg]

I jump, plunge, then quickly press right click on my mouse (sprint), then left click (normal attack) then jump. So the right click, left click, jump is a quick consecutive thing. I'm not sure if that's how we're supposed to plunge but that's how I do it and it seems to work 😅

[@howtheworldworks3]

no. she is in fact good.

[@Kalagni1000]

She's good especially for Mualani even at C0. They benefit from each other. Similar to Bennet-Oppa or Neuvi-Furina combo.

[@allenzale342]

Good is a massive stretch. Under C6 her role in teams is only as a filler.

[@WhoopiSoulberg]

Fair opinion but I think she’s good in those cases. Nowhere near top tier but with there being 4 or 5 decent teams for her I’d say she’s good

[@lhordjhenzenbolledo454]

Does c6 candace is needed for arlechino? Or it is good even in c4??

[@ryukickdo2652]

What are her artifacts and stats as a support for my Mualani and Arlecchino?

[@WhoopiSoulberg]

You could run her on Instructor to give extra EM or Cinder City to give elemental damage (although it'll just be 12% not 40%). Lots of energy recharge and HP plus crit rate if you give her Favonius Lance

[@rifatrahaman6477]

Im gonna use her with mualani with new set

When is this free Candace. I got a second off a weapon pull for C1, and another would be great.

She can be claimed as the big reward for the main 5.1 event (I'm not sure the specific dates of how long it'll take to accumulate enough event currency etc though)

[@Cursed_sinner]

So can i use mualani (dps),mavuika(off field pyro),xilonen(res shred/buffer),candace(normal attack buff)

What build is good for c6 Candace in arlecchino teams? I was thinking 4pc emblem with fav lance, er sands,hydro goblet, crit circlet. I assume her c6 aoe is considered as elemental burst dmg

[@WhoopiSoulberg]

It's considered burst dmg but I definitely wouldn't run Emblem. You'll want a lot of energy recharge on her anyway so she won't deal much damage. I recommend Instructor or Cinder City. Energy recharge sands, HP goblet, crit rate circlet with Favonius Lance.
