Crimson Moon's Semblance is the closest fit on the game's own numbers: Candace's kit multiplies HP, and a weapon is ranked here on whether its ascension stat and its passive act on that stat. Staff of Homa, Rightful Reward and Vortex Vanquisher come next. No playtested ranking has been imported for Candace, so this is arithmetic over the kit data rather than a damage measurement.
Run Heart of Depth on Candace, with Nymph's Dream and Vourukasha's Glow behind it. Main stats are HP% sands, HP% goblet, HP% circlet. Roll substats in the order Energy Recharge > HP% > CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG.
Talent priority is Elemental Burst > Elemental Skill > Normal Attack. The Elemental Burst costs 60 energy, which is what an Energy Recharge target has to clear.
The strongest team is Zhongli, Candace, Yelan and Xingqiu, built around Candace: Hydro · Mono Hydro.
Candace's abilities multiply HP. That is read from the scaling rows on the Elemental Skill and Burst, not from the ability description, so it reflects what the game actually multiplies rather than what the text mentions.
Crimson Moon's Semblance is the closest fit on the data: it is a 5-star polearm with CRIT Rate as its ascension stat, and its passive acts on HP. Rightful Reward is the best 4-star alternative.
Heart of Depth. Its 2-piece bonus is: Hydro DMG Bonus +15% Its 4-piece bonus is: After using Elemental Skill, increases Normal Attack and Charged Attack DMG by 30% for 15s.
