Daffodill - Overview
Daffodill is a technical Chaos-element attacker built around Parry Attacks and Break. Her biggest strength is the explosive opener — she lands a counter the instant she swaps in from the bench. From there she chains together with allies and pushes targets straight into Break, giving her excellent Burst DPS as well.
