Daffodill - Overview

DaffodillRaritySS
Esper TypeChaosChaos
ArcLiquidLiquid
RoleDPSDPS

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.

Daffodill - How To Play & Rotations

Basic Combat Strategy

  • Buff herself off-field via allies' Support Skills
  • Switch in to counter the enemy's big attacks
  • Apply "Insight" to set up Breaks

Buff Herself Off-Field via Allies' Support Skills

Daffodill's Redirect Skill is enhanced every time a teammate uses a Support Skill. The basic strategy is to trigger Esper Cycle with your on-field character while Daffodill stacks buffs from the bench.

Point!The Redirect Skill can be enhanced up to 2 stacks.

Switch In to Counter the Enemy's Big Attacks

If you switch to Daffodill in time with an enemy attack that allows a Parry Attack, "Phantom Step" will activate. Successfully landing this Parry Attack lets you fully charge the otherwise hard-to-build Ultimate gauge to max, delivering massive Burst DPS.

Apply "Insight" to Set Up Breaks

Triggering the Ultimate applies "Insight" to the enemy. If the enemy enters a Broken state while this effect is active, extra Break Damage occurs and shaves off a huge chunk of the enemy's HP.

Best Arc / Weapon for Daffodill

Youthful Fantasy is Recommended

ArcDetail
Youthful FantasyYouthful Fantasy・ATK Increase Sub-Stat
・Increases Break Intensity
・Unlocks a Support Skill command

The recommended Arc for Daffodill is Youthful Fantasy. It not only raises her Break Intensity but also unlocks effects in sync with allies' Support Skills, lining up perfectly with her Resonance-stacking playstyle. The summoned Black Tome reacts to Break Damage with powerful Follow-up Attacks, making it an exceptional fit for the Break-focused Daffodill.

Best Console for Daffodill

Recommended Console for Daffodill: Diabolos

Legendary: Ignores 12% of enemy Chaos RES. After the wearer triggers a Nova or Scorch reaction, the ignore effect increases to 24% for 20s.

*▲ Epic: 2-Set Effect, Legendary: 4-Set Effect

The recommended Cartridge for Daffodill is Diabolos. It boosts Chaos DMG and constantly ignores enemy Chaos resistance. The resistance ignore jumps to 24% when she joins in on Scorch or Nova Esper Cycles, so she shines in comps with Incantation or Psyche allies, where she lands Burst DPS off Parries.

Recommended Ascension Effect for Daffodill

Mechanical March Boosts Usability Massively

The top pick is Mechanical March, which fills your Ultimate charge to max even when you fail to parry with Phantom Step. Equipping it alone lets you "swap in, fire Phantom Step, and immediately drop your Ultimate," dramatically lowering the skill ceiling.

More Ascension Slots Make Her a Break Specialist

With more Ascension slots, you can also slot in effects that further empower the Redirect Skill or stack and strengthen Insight with options like Assembly of Creations. She becomes an overwhelming Break specialist who can flip the field with a single quick swap.
