I Made Candace Into a Hydro Hutao 

Constellations are based on stars. Stars' positions aren't magically symmetrical. Though in this game their positions might be magical, so there's that.

Fun fact: the reason the constellation isn't symmetrical is because the constellations are actually 3d, if you turn the character around in the main overview, then switch to the constellation screen you can see a bit of their depth

"I wanna save the crowns for hydro mc" well that aged like fine milk

I can't take it anymore. I'm sick of Xiangling. I try to play Diluc. My Xiangling deals more damage. I try to play Yoimiya. My Xiangling deals more damage. I try to play Cyno. My Xiangling deals more damage. I want to play Klee. Her best team has Xiangling. I want to play Raiden, Childe - they both want Xiangling. She grabs me by the throat. I fish for her. I cook for her. I give her the Catch. She isn't satisfied. I pull Engulfing Lightning. "I don't need this much er" She tells me. "Give me more field time." She grabs Bennett and forces him to throw himself off enemies. "You just need to funnel me more. I can deal more damage with Homa." I can't pull for Homa, I don't have enough primogems. She grabs my credit card. It declines. "Guess this is the end." She grabs Gouba. She says "Gouba, get them." There is no hint of sadness in his eyes. Nothing but pure, no icd pyro application. What a cruel world.

As a long-term Candace enjoyer, I can positively say she's my favorite hydro unit. She's got some problems, but I've always had fun using her. That said, C6 brings her utility way up a lot, particularly as a bloom enabler. I wish C6 was in her base kit. Maybe I will get a new Candace video up soon to showcase her full power...

Auto attck Candace player here, fun fact her second auto attack the shield bash counts as crush damage! Like a Geo or claymore so you can do damage to those shield or rock without those two by just 2 hits, dash to reset and two hits again!

Recently built Candace to be a dps using that nymph set. It’s definitely better than using heart of depths but damn dude, genshin has no love for our desert dwelling ladies ;-;

So this was why you told me to build hydro Alhaitham.

I feel like using Xiangling is perfectly acceptable here, considering that you're using a comp that's very reminiscent of a Hu Tao Vape comp, but swapping Hu Tao for Candace and Xingqiu for Xiangling.

Lets face it, there is no other pyro applicator in the game except Xiangling. You can make the argument for Thoma but it's only for burgeon.

I always love these videos. It just shows you can pull for who you like ignoring meta and still play comfortably.

Me a Yanfei main seeing that 0.0% on her: 👁️👄👁️

Candace-xiangling bennet-xinqu is my current vape and reverse vape team, and she certainly adds a good bit too it. Sword nerds hide behind the spartan waifus. Her voice lines are awesome too, "hear my prayer" just sounds so commanding.

I am not going to lie, I didn't know you could shoot down the dragon with the swords

I’m part of that 0.2% abyss usage that can 36 star. I use her to turn Xinqui into my onField hydro applicator & DPS in the Vape team with Benny & Xiangling. The team actually slaps though. Probably my best one.

i actually like the non-symmetrical constellation, its more natural

Thought yall might appreciate hearing that I 36* cleared the Abyss with Candace this time around. I used her to infuse Kuki with hydro so that Kuki could on field drive hyperbloom while under the effects of Nahida burst AND Baizhu burst. Candace is the only character that makes this team possible

candace basically needs a pyro xingqiu to work right and hoyo seems pretty disinterested in making more characters like that cuz they're so busted

I leveled her to 90 8,8,8 than I abandoned her. I find myself wishing sacrificial polearm was a thing. Maybe my problem was I really wanted her to be support despite those insane normal attack multiplayers.

If you wanna use jean one of my favorite archetypes with Jean Is sun-fryer where you go sun fire and air fryer in 1 so like Bennett, Jean, Nahida, Heizou is one I use a lot

Your dedication is inspiring; I love your content and hope that you will continue making awesome videos!

That Hillichurl never fails to scare the shit out of me

Watching this AFTER Fontaine release: Saving your Crowns for Hydro MC? Setting yourself up for Emotional Damage 😂

YANFEI %0?! BRO I CAN GUARANTEE SHE IS 4 STAR KLEE

Thanks for this vid. I recently built Candace because I see some potential for her in future updates. Especially since Fontaine is upon us, there could be more characters who could benefit from kit.

I heard Candace has some use in Nilou teams when combined with Yaoyao, to have Yaoyao on field and doing both Dendro and Hydro, I guess. But that's not exactly a Candace showcase, haha.

I pulled for Kaveh and ended up getting 4 cons for her. So now I will be following you in this mission as well!

ngl candace became one of my favourites after I started using her for her shield and I’ve been thoroughly enjoying her gameplay. idk, shield/parry mechanics just feel so cool to use (one of the reasons I love beidou so much)

"i wanna save the crowns for hydro traveler down the line" -famous last words

The desert flower is the pain of my existence, they are so spread out and so few

1:05 That hilichurl reached peak eternity

I liked the Sunburn comp with Jean, Nahida, and Bennett because it utilized niche interactions to keep a pyro aura on the enemies even when Candace was vaporizing.

and i can't 36* with childe international team and a random scara team 💀

I run my Candace with Dehya. They work very well together. My Candace is now C6, she has a HoD set, HP build and equipped with Cyno's weapon. Just her and Dehya, they both hit in the 30K-60K range but I can rely on them to melt out about 150K-250K damage in a single rotation. With the right supports they can push this up to around 500K in a single cycle. These figures assume that they crit which fortunately they do most of the time. BTW, if you have Baizhu, he's a good fit in a Dehya-Candace team.

"I made Candace into a Hydro Hutao" meanwhile proceeding to use a childe national team

the only thing i don't like about this.... is that xiangling actually does most of the heavy-lifting... but well...... nice run btw! (i struggle with much stronger teams >.>)

"Im sorry jean, i promise to utilize you properly in the future" such a forwshadowing...

She pairs well with layla for a freeze comp.

Technically, there IS a character that fully benefits from her Hydro Infusion, and that is C6 Dendro Traveler.

BRO SAID HYDRO MC, THATS WILD

As a graphic designer, yes it makes me s c r e a m. 🙃

I love these videos so much - please do Layla next! I always feel she needs some love

Average genshin player discovering that the sky isnt symetrical

0:30 FINALY, A PERSON THAT I DEEM WORTHY.

i think yunjin would seriously buff candace’s normal attacks. u could use thoma as the pyro applicator too i think. Candace, Thoma, Yun Jin, and either Bennett or Zhongli. if u choose zhongli its a full polearm impact team lol

They did Candace really dirty

Professional art person here, and I agree with you! But to play devil's advocate, the imbalance of constellation heights is somewhat justified by looking at how the line weight for the vertical portion of the constellation isn't perfectly symmetrical on one side as it flips to the other (it leans left on the bottom and leans right on the top. It's only really visible if you look at the entire left shape vs the entire right shape). Stars are also never perfectly symmetrical in the celestial sphere anyways, so moving one slightly down the circle draws attention to it on purpose. However, I still I agree with you from a design perspective because the focal point visually of the constellation is very obviously the arrowhead, so to distract from it with the upper right star would be less effective than just keeping it symmetrical lol. Though maybe as you're activating constellations one by one, each of them could feel more important if the player notices (or at least "feels") the little asymmetries created by having the lines between stars intersecting the shield-shape to make slightly different shapes along the way. Honestly I think that's a valid argument from a gameplay perspective. I'd also add that the different constellations gives the feeling of the shield logo being in perspective without actually rotating the constellations (because obviously stars are so far away that rotating them in space would feel very weird to do, so all designs must be fully 2D). In that sense, since the shield is always only on one side of her and that side happens to be her left, your right, giving the impression of perspective very slightly within an otherwise symmetrical design actually feels pretty effective to me.

when all your favourite characters are at the bottom of the usage list:

"I don't want to resort to Xiangling or kazuha" *goes BENNY ZHONGLI ANND XIANGLING* Me: ????????¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿

Hydro MC you say... Well, I'd like to witness the circus that's about to unfold

Maybe the constellations (also cuz stars aren't symmetrical) is to do with her heterochromia and how her eyes aren't symmetrical in a way

Me: Sees title of video... Also Me: interesting...

I have been a candace stan since day 1. That’s my baby girl

i just got c6 candace, maybe this can motivate me

The flying hilichurl you saw is part of invisible-platform puzzle, and he is standing on one of those.

You ran into the primordial being. 1:06

Ngl, Nahida stepping on beat was satisfying af

This made me build her and I have 0 regrets

i like Candace's design, and I like polearms hopefully this video will help me make her better. I have her at lvl 80 no cons.

5:50 this made me laugh so much

12:02 it must have taken so many retry XD

Imagine thinking constellations should be symmetrical.

everytime i hear the yoimiya theme now, all i can think of is that filthy frank try not to laugh challenge

being surprised that the heterochromatic blue/orange asymmetrical character has asymmetry is funny

I can see not using xiangling since even in teams where she’s an enabler she becomes the main dps, but Kazuha feels like an unfair restriction. Most dps have access to Kazuha. He’s like snorlax in gen 2 competitive Pokémon, he’s like the most used character, but he’s healthy for the meta because he’s just very versatile and can fit a lot of teams. They’re both like near universal tools that can benefit everybody. However, I get that it was for the sake of having a challenge, and I respect that aspect of it.

Your videos are well-cut and very entertaining. I really like Candace, so I´m happy this video came out.

I see the person with the strong will. 70 lvl bennet is what we need

If I'm not mistaken each constalation has their place in the map in tp point, so it might build on the janky part of the map. or it could be a reference of unsymetrical nutz

The amount of Xenobalde soundtracks used in Videos nowadays is amaizing ... and understandable. Good Video.

Dang, that first chamber was clutch.

Its great the way you make the 36 stars with her workout, but I wouldn't say she is your main DPS, after all, out of the whole team she is who spent the least time on field, the time you spent using Zhongli and Bennett was just so much more and Xiangling basically delt more damage, wanting or not, Candace felt like an extra in the team, maybe if you tried doing normal auto atks instead of charged would have been better, but who knows?

You will recall our names!!

I have Candace C6 in my main team right now: Nahida, Kuki, Candace, Kokomi. Nahida shreds dendro res, Kuki EM procs hyperbloom (27k/30k per green missile), Candace and Kokomi procs blooms. Candace is built full HP with a staff of Homa but deals absolutely no damage worth noting (12k on skill or brust at best). I tried a lot of dps builds but she's just terrible at anything but procs. Procs though, are well worth it. Note that other hydro characters might also do the job *caughs in Furina*, that I play her because I love her and because my humble team obliterates 99% of the game's content with ease. In the rotation, her ult procs aoe hydro, skill procs aoe hydro, followed by an hydro attack with procs, a charged attack which procs, swapping to Kuki which triggers Candace's ult aoe hydro proc, followed by hydro infused attack, charged attack, swapping to kokomi triggering aoe hydro, attack, charged attck, etc... It rains hyperblooms so fast I very rarely complete a full rotation. The sad thing is she's able to do that with constellations alone. She could be lvl 1 with no artefacts or weapons and do the exact same job. So put whatever might buff your other characters on her, and proc lots of hydro.

Tfw when the Candace meme build is able to clear floor 12 and my actual C1 Hu Tao can't because I never farm artifacts

Not me being part of the 0.2% Candace enjoyer 😂❤

2:50 so candace is a rebelian now. I see. She will look good in a rebelian outfit tho,and with a red/white lightsaber perfect

Nymph is an upgrade compared to HoD only if Bennet uses low base ark weapons (lower than 608). Supposing u use low base ark weapons on Bennet, the DMG boost from Nymph compared to HoD is around 2%-6% depending on ur support and Candace's weapon.

2:00 did you know that stars are often super fucking far away from each other even in the same constellation they may be next to each other in the sky but some stars in the same constellation are way farther than other stars in that constellation from us

3:02 idk why but that reminded me of Aku from samurai Jack XD

That lvl 70 bennet tho :(

18:23 "no pyro xingqiu" thoma exists

“That’s a foreshadow😢”

These feather and goblet on Xiangling, a u kidding me!!!

Actually, candace is pretty good as a support for beidou, which i main for an electro charged team. Before that, i was using beidou as a physical dps, which physical uh... sucks. but with candace she can deal hydro damage with her normals instead which is much better.

Things are much easier when you have zhongli *crying cat meme*

im sorta new player in genshin, my first character and first who made me love polearm i loved candace and made her my best character in 3 month of total play, tried so many types of artifacts, best one i used was hod2pc and gladiator2pc, 4pc hod is good but i prefer gladiator one and no joke im new just ar55, i cleared abyss f11-3 with: team 1: Yelan-Candace-Dehya-Bennett and team 2: Nahida 50lv, keqing 80lv, xingqiu, 60lv, rosaria 82lv candace with +400em is no joke for real, and right now its candace rerun but as f2p i just cant get any constellations, only kaveh and fischl it made me leave genshin, im so depressed cuz my candace only deal 48k vapor at max, no constellations = not good but thanks for your video, it was on my recommendation

1:06 hilichurl levitating

The video title should have been candace be a hydro hu tao

What are your thoughts on Xinyan as pyro appliator for Candace? Does she apply enough pyro with her stage 3 shield? If not then what about Thoma as back up pyro applicator combo with Xinyan?

Honestly she’s such an amazing dps.i would love to use her with beidou when i get her on my Mostly ftp account

toma be like: am i not a good pyro applicator? GenshinC.: NO

It's weird to me that Candace is by far the least used hydro character when she's the only hydro character I use.

I think the asymmetry of her constellation is a reflection of her heterochromia

I have Candace and staff of homa and my Candace does laps of damage more than that. I promise so has better potential with homa

the fact that i mained candace since her release… (stopped for rosaria)

Candace: FOR THE REPUBLIC!!!

I get where you are coming from with the constellation thing but remember Candace has different color eyes it might be one of those hidden details that only a few notice like the breath thing in dragon spine and so many more

I find it funny that her best team is Childe International, with her in Childe's slot

That was insane , good work

The rebellion logo gets its inspiration from the egyptian symbol of the falcon.
