Candace's Elemental Skill, Sacred Rite: Heroes Sanctum, allows her to block incoming damage with her shield while charging. Once charged up, she will strike with her Polearm and deal Hydro DMG.
After unlocking the Aegis of Crossed Arrows talent, the shield will instantly be fully charged when an enemy attacks her while holding the stance. This is similar to how Beidou and Yun Jin's Elemental Skills
work but is much easier to pull off since there's no strict timing.
Candace's Elemental Burst, Sacred Rite: Wagtail's Tide, deals AoE Hydro DMG to enemies and provides the Prayer of the Crimson Crown buff to the entire party.
When swapping to different characters under the Pyarer of the Crimson Crown effect, an AoE around the player will trigger, dealing Hydro damage. In addition, Sword, Claymore, and Polearm characters buffed by the Prayer of the Crimson Crown will have their weapons infused with the Hydro Element. All characters will also increase their Elemental DMG
from their Normal Attack.
Candace's talent for exploration, To Dawn's First Light, decreases the stamina consumption when climbing walls.

Alhaitham | About Alhaitham A truly unusual scholar, unlike any other I've ever met. He sees and thinks
about things in his own unique way... I only hope he never wields his sharp mind against the peace of Aaru Village.
|
---|
Cyno | About Cyno In the past, it was rare to see the Akademiya's General Mahamatra on this side of the Wall of Samiel, but recently he has been showing up
here all the time. I believe that the Eremites have some truly terrifying stories to tell about him...
|
---|
Dehya | About Dehya Whenever Dehya brings any of her Eremites to stay at Aaru Village, she always keeps them on their very best behavior. I have to say, it
makes my life a lot easier. Ah, Dehya... She might look like trouble at first, but the truth is that she's really quite adorable.

Nahida | About Lesser Lord Kusanali Perhaps it is a testament to the Dendro Archon's benevolence that I, a descendant of the Al-Ahmar bloodline, am able to
live peacefully on this land. If so, I suppose I am grateful for this much, but... I am first and foremost a child of the desert.

What do you do against buffer overflow?
A buffer overflow is one of the best known forms of software security vulnerability and is still a commonly used cyber attack. You can prevent a buffer overflow attack by auditing code, providing training, using compiler tools, using safe functions, patching web and application servers, and scanning applications.
Which of the following functions is vulnerable to buffer overflow?
That is why the safest basic method in C is to avoid the following five unsafe functions that can lead to a buffer overflow vulnerability: printf , sprintf , strcat , strcpy , and gets . Unfortunately, the base C language provides only one safe alternative: fgets (to be used instead of gets ).
Which of the following is the most likely to mitigate against buffer overflow attacks?
Which of the following is the most likely to mitigate against buffer overflow attacks? D. Buffer overflow attacks can often be mitigated by ensuring that you keep up-to-date with system and application patches. As the vendor finds the vulnerabilities, that vendor will fix the issues through a patch.
How can systems be defended against buffer overflow attacks?
There are four basic mechanisms of defense against buffer overflow attacks: writing correct programs; enlisting the help of the operating system to make storage areas for buffers non-executable; enhanced compilers that perform bounds checking; and performing integrity checks on code pointers before dereferencing them.
