The first Hydro polearm user added toGenshin Impactis Candace, a four-star character from Sumeru. She’s a fierce warrior and proud defender of her people, and she’s a fun addition to any team.
If players are hoping to use Candace in combat, they’ll need to ascend her and upgrade her talents to reach her full potential. To do both of those things, the following materials will be needed!
Leveling Materials
EveryGenshin Impactcharacter uses the same amount of EXP and Mora between each ascension level, totaling over 8 million EXP and almost 2 million Mora by the time they reach the max level of 90. Here’s how much is needed between each of Candace’s ascension levels, as well as the specific totals.
