Candace’s kit

Elemental Skill

Sacred Rite: Heron's Sanctum

Candace's fighting style is capable of warding off an entire tide of foes. Tap Rushes forward with her shield, dealing Hydro DMG to opponents in front of her. Hold Raises her shield to block incoming attacks from nearby opponents, forming a barrier that absorbs DMG based on her Max HP and absorbs Hydro DMG 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 DMG to opponents in front of her. The oath of the guardians is more stalwart yet than the shields they inherit.

Though the old faiths have become lost over the years, the sands still protect the heirs of the ancient realm.
