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.

Attribute	Tap	Hold
DMG (T9%)	20.4% Max HP	32.37% Max HP
Shield DMG Absorption	20.4% + 2349 Max HP	20.4% + 2349 Max HP

Notes:

• Tap and hold E are blunt. Tap E can Shatter but hold E doesn't Shatter despite it being blunt.
• The counter has no startup, it is active as soon as the UI greys out.

Burst

Sacred Rite: Wagtail's Tide

Raising her weapon on high, Candace calls upon a divine blessing that deals AoE Hydro DMG based on her Max HP and continuously confers the Prayer of the Crimson Crown on your active character.

Prayer of the Crimson Crown
This effect has the following properties:

• Characters deal increased Elemental DMG with their Normal Attacks.
• Whenever a character takes the field, they will unleash a rippling wave of water that deals Hydro DMG to nearby opponents. There is a limited number of waves that can be triggered in the duration of this skill.
• Sword, Claymore, and Polearm-wielding characters under this effect will obtain a Hydro Infusion.

This secret rite has been passed down through Candace's clan from generation to generation. Though the old faiths have become lost over the years, the sands still protect the heirs of the ancient realm.
