Genshin Impact Candace materials: Ascension resources, farming locations, and talent books

Genshin Impact's upcoming patch 3.1 update will introduce Candace, a brand new 4-star character from Sumeru's desert area. Candace will be the first Hydro Polearm user that uses a shield in her attack and skill animations.

She will be one of the 4-stars featured alongside Cyno and Venti's banners in the first half of the patch 3.1 update. Leaked news about her kit suggests that she will be a great support character for those players who use normal attacks to deal maximum damage. Therefore, players should definitely farm for her in advance if they plan to wish for Cyno or Venti. Here is everything players need to know about Candace's ascension and talent level up materials.
