Candace, the most awaited character of the Genshin Impact, has finally been released into the game with the launch of the 3.1 version. Candace is a 4 Star Hydro Polerarm user, who serves as the Guardian of Aaru Village. Similar to other Genshin Impact characters, players need to unlock Candace before taking her to the land of Tevyat. With that said, here’s an essential Genshin Impact guide to obtaining Candace.
Unlocking Candace in Genshin Impact
The only way to unlock Candace in Genshin Impact 3.1 version is by pulling the character’s banner during the Ballad in Goblets event wish.
During this event, the Hydro character, Candace, will receive a huge drop rate boost. This wish event ends on October 14; hence make sure you unlock the character on time.
After that, Candace will be available in the standard wish “Wanderlust Invocation” in the next Genshin impact version.
If you weren’t aware, you will need to spend an in-game currency called Fate in the game’s wish menu to unlock the Candace.
Moreover, you will get a random character as the gacha pull system is similar to a lucky draw. As a result, you’ll need to reroll several times in order to obtain it.

Normal Attack: Gleaming Spear – Guardian Stance
- Normal: Performs up to four consecutive spear strikes.

- Tap: Rushes forward with her shield, dealing Hydro damage.
- Hold: Raises her shield to block incoming attacks from nearby opponents, forming a barrier that absorbs damage based on her max HP and absorbs Hydro damage 250% more effectively. This barrier lasts until the Elemental Skill is unleashed. After holding for a certain period of time, Candace will finish charging and when the skill button is released, the skill duration expires, or when the barrier is broken, she will perform a leaping strike that deals Hydro damage to opponents in front of her.
Elemental Burst

Whenever a character takes the field, they will unleash a rippling wave of water that deals Hydro damage to nearby opponents. There is a limited number of waves that can be triggered in the duration of this skill. Active sword, claymore, and polearm-wielding characters under this effect will obtain a Hydro Infusion.
Passives
- To Dawn’s First Light: Decreases climbing stamina consumption for your own party members by 20%. Not stackable with passive talents that provide the same effect.
- Featherflow Guard: If Candace is hit by an attack in the Hold duration of Sacred Rite: Heron’s Sanctum, that skill will finish charging instantly.
- Sand Arch: Characters affected by the Prayer of the Crimson Crown caused by Sacred Rite: Wagtail’s Tide will deal 0.5% increased damage to opponents for every 1,000 points of Candace’s max HP when they deal Elemental damage with their Normal Attacks.
