Despite having healing, Daphne is more valued for her ability to apply bonus Anemo damage to allied weapon attacks. Since Skill DMG does not increase her damage buff, and only improves Daphne's healing, we've chosen to neglect this stat, and focus instead on Skill Duration, Efficiency, and Max Sanity.

Melee Weapon Demon Wedge Set

Remanent Reminiscence functions as a Sanity battery for Daphne, so we need to stack as much Crit Chance as possible to trigger its passive effects.

Range Weapon Demon Wedge Set
Impetus ∙ Focus	Celerity	Focus ∙ Mass	Focus
Carefree	Arrow	Free Slot	Free Slot

Arclight Apocalypses is popularly considered to be Daphne's BiS weapon. Since this weapon only applies its bonus effects when it lands a crit, we have leaned heavily into Focus-based wedges to aim for consistent criticals.

Focus on Skill Consistency

Daphne is a multi-faceted Support that provides a little bit of everything. She provides healing, additional Anemo damage, enemy debuffs, and applies DoTs. Our build focuses mostly improving the consistency of having Daphne's buffs active.

Important stats include Skill Duration, Skill Efficiency, and Maximum Sanity. Swap in the Wedges you need or the wedges your Tolerance can afford according to the resources you're willing to invest into Daphne.
