Best weapon for Candace, calculated
Crimson Moon Semblance tops the weapon calc for Candace at 16,799 average damage on Normal Attack combo. Every row below is the same hit with only the weapon swapped, at Level 90, talent 10 and refinement 1 — the right-hand column is the damage you give up by running it instead.
Each polearm equipped on a Lv90 Candace at talent 10 — base ATK, substat and any modelled passive. Weapons whose passive is not modelled show only their raw stats; better a missing buff than a wrong one. Swap any of them in the Candace calculator to re-run the whole chain on your own panel.

Candace build questions, answered
What does Candace scale off?
Candace's Normal Attack combo scales off Max HP, not ATK. HP% raises every number on this page; ATK% raises none of them.
What stat does Candace get from ascension?
Candace's ascension substat is HP%. It arrives at the Level-80/90 ascension and is part of the character's own stats, so the calculator counts it before any artifact roll is added.
What is the best weapon for Candace?
Ranked by computed Normal Attack combo damage at Level 90, talent 10 and refinement 1, Crimson Moon Semblance is the strongest polearm for Candace at 16,799 average damage per hit. The Favonius Lance used by this page's preset panel averages 9,849, 41.4% behind it.
What artifacts should Candace use?
Noblesse Oblige (4) is the set this calculator presets Candace with, and the damage tables include its bonuses. Set effects that depend on the element of the hit are applied per row rather than as a flat average.
How much damage should Candace do?
On the default Level-90, talent-10 build shown above, Candace's largest single hit averages 9,545 — the table lists its CRIT and non-CRIT numbers separately. That is a reference panel, not a target: load your own artifact rolls into the calculator to get your own number.
Do these numbers include Candace's constellations?
No — every table is computed at C0. Constellations that are unconditional and clearly numeric are modelled in the calculator and marked as such on this page; the rest are listed as text only and change nothing.
How those numbers are produced: the damage formula, term by term, and the weapon & artifact build guide. If Candace still hits soft, the six levers ranked by damage added shows which multiplier is holding a build back.
