Genshin Impact Candace Build Guide 2024

Best Candace Builds

Candace is one of the supporting characters in Genshin Impact. There are a lot of different builds and roles for Candace, but most players are using support builds while some use her as a sub-DPS. Unfortunately, she is one of the worst characters in the game and it is simply not worth using her especially when you come to end-game content. So replace her with any other support characters. Candace is the B tier character in Genshin Impact.
