The Guardian of Aaru Village, Candace is a character that’s released along with the desert area ofGenshin ImpactSumeru. Aaru Village is a place in the desert where the Desert Folks now reside. This place is also where the Akademiya exiles their mad researchers, creating more grudges between the Desert Folks and the people of Sumeru City.

However, with the Dendro Archon’s help, the exiles eventually became a protector of Aaru Village, where they would prevent the village from meeting a certain doom on some occasions. Meanwhile, Candace’s role in this place is to halt intruders and ensure the well-being of the people. For this work, she has to know how to fight, and in battle, these are the best weapons for Candace inGenshin Impact.
7The Catch
The Catch is a F2P weapon inGenshin Impactobtained via fishing. The weapon offers Energy Recharge secondary stat along with a boost to Elemental Burst damage. This Polearm is the best F2P option for Raiden Shogun, while it’s also a good option for a sub-DPS C6 Candace.
6Skyward Spine

Skyward Spine’s Energy Recharge passive helps Candace regenerate her Energy, which is crucial, since she relies on her Burst to buff the team. However, other than that, Skyward Spine doesn’t add too much value. Players can get more of Skyward Spine if they use Candace as the main DPS.
5Engulfing Lightning
Engulfing Lightning is not the best for a support Candace, but it’s amazing for sub-DPS Candace. At C6, players can equip her with a 4pc Emblem of Severed Fate to enhance herElemental Burst damage. One downside is that Engulfing Lightning’s ATK buff is rather useless on Candace as she scales with HP.
4Favonius Lance

Favonius Lance doesn’t directly add HP, but it’s a great option for support Candace as it helps the team regenerate their Energy, enabling her to function as aGenshin ImpactBattery. Its Energy Recharge stat also helps Candace ensure her Elemental Burst is always active, providing an endless Normal Attack DMG buff for the team. Just remember to equip Candace with some Critical Rate to activate the weapon’s passive.
3Moonpiercer
Moonpiercer is another supportive Polearm that players can use on Candace. If there’s a Dendro unit in the team, players can use Candace to trigger Bloom and produce a Leaf of Revival. Use the main DPS to pick up the Leaf to grant them some ATK bonus. Players can get theMoonpiercer by forging theGenshin Impactweapon.
2Staff of Homa

Staff of Homa is not as terrific as Black Tassel when it comes to enhancing Candace’s HP, but it’s still great for increasing her personal DPS. With this polearm, players can now play Candace as both a support and sub-DPS. However, note that the character shouldhave some Critical Rate sub-statif players want to benefit from Staff of Homa’s Critical Damage bonus.
1Black Tassel
Candace’s fourth Ascension passive increases the team’s Normal Attack DMG by 0.5% for every 1,000 HP. This means, at 42k HP, players can get a 21% Normal Attack DMG Bonus for the team.
With the3-starGenshin Impactweapon, Black Tassel, players can bump the number to 47k HP, which is a 2.5% addition. A 23.5% damage bonus is a great value, considering artifact sets like Gladiator’s Finale and Heart of Depths grant 35% and 30% bonuses, respectively.
Genshin Impactis now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
