Daffodill Overview
Rarity: 5-Star | Element: Chaos | Role: DPS | Arc: Liquid
Daffodill is well-suited as a primary DPS core, relying on teammates to frequently cast Support Skills in order to quickly stack Resonance and trigger its buffs. Her Awakenings further enhance the Break benefits granted by Insight stacks, especially dealing multiple instances of additional Break damage when enemies enter the Break state. Additionally, her Life Skills primarily boost "traffic" and reduce ingredient consumption rate, giving her a hybrid role that balances combat with business management.
Daffodill Skill
Skill upgrade priority:
Skill ＞ Ultimate ＞ Basic Attack ＞ Support Skill
Skill first for damage, Ultimate for burst, Basic Attack for feel, Support Skill last — just go with the flow.
Basic Attack
|
Still Waters |
Her heart is as calm as Still Waters, long accustomed to battle. Wields her twin blades to perform up to 5 consecutive attacks, dealing Chaos DMG. |
|
Light Prism |
Light and shadow exist in separate realms. Daffodill's Break Damage contribution is increased by 20%. |
|
Mirror on Water |
I am here. Hold Basic Attack to trigger. Dashes forward, performing a whirlwind slash and leaving behind marks, dealing Chaos DMG. |
|
Displaced Edge |
Press dodge to trigger the special dodge action Displaced Edge during Still Waters. Grants invincibility during the action and does not interrupt the current combo. |
|
Crosshair Lock |
Wields her weapon while airborne and plunges, dealing 1 instance of Chaos DMG to an area upon impact. Increases DMG based on fall height, up to 200%. |
|
Close Call - Critical Riposte |
Triggers when using Still Waters after performing a Critical Dodge. Instantly lifts her foot, pulling the rope to swing her blade toward the target, dealing 1 instance of Chaos DMG and reducing Break. |
Skill - Resonance
Resonating with the blade. Deals damage to the target. Grants Resonance stacks and increases damage when any team member casts a Support Skill. Increases Resonance's DMG and Break per Support Skill cast, up to 2 stacks. Enhances Resonance and replaces it with Echoes when stacks reach the maximum.
Ultimate - Finale
Casts Finale, dealing Chaos DMG to enemies in an area. Unseals her left eye, increasing damage and inflicting Insight on nearby enemies for the duration. Unlocks the skill Phantom Step, which can be used up to 2 times. Casting Finale resets Phantom Step charges.
Support Skill
|
Crossed Blades |
Leave the rest to me. Swings her blade in a slashing motion, dealing 1 instance of Chaos DMG to the target. |
|
Blade Draw |
Discord Enhancement: Further reduces the target's Break cap by 10% for 30s while affected by Discord and restores it to normal upon leaving combat. Stacks Discord Enhancement effects up to a maximum reduction of 30% of the target's initial Break cap. |
|
Cicada Shell |
Increases Daffodill's DEF by 50% for 5s when casting Phantom Step. |
Life Skills - The Art of Hospitality
|
Lv.1 - Daffodill increases traffic by 18. Lv.2 - Daffodill reduces ingredient consumption rate by 1%. Lv.3 - Daffodill increases traffic by 18. Lv.4 - Daffodill reduces ingredient consumption rate by 1%. Lv.5 - Daffodill increases traffic by 27. |
Daffodill Awakenings
|
Eye - A1 |
Increases Resonance's DMG by 100% and Break by 250% per Support Skill cast. |
|
Mechanical March - A2 |
Deals high damage to the target, generates Break, and fully charges Witness This Finale with its final attack if Phantom Step fails to successfully counter the target. |
|
Assembly of Creations - A3 |
Prevents Insight from being removed once applied, except when the target is neutralized or disengages from combat. Allows repeated applications to stack, up to 3 stacks. |
|
In Concealment - A4 |
If a target enters Break while under the Insight effect, Daffodill's Break DMG increases by 15% for each stack of Insight. |
|
Perfect Truth - A5 |
Deals 1 additional instance of Break Damage per stack of Insight if the target enters Break while affected by Insight. |
|
Bloom in the Lake - A6 |
All damage dealt by Daffodill increases by 15%. |
A1 ＞ A4 ＞ A5 ＞ A3 ＞ A6 ＞ A2
- A1 (Highest Priority):
Each time a teammate casts a Support Skill, Resonance DMG increases by 100% and Break by 250%. This doubles the core mechanic — a true game-changer.
- A4 (Second):
When an enemy under Insight enters Break, increases Daffodill's Break DMG by 15% per Insight stack. A steady damage boost with excellent returns.
- A5 (Third):
Converts each stack of Insight into an additional instance of Break Damage. Pairs perfectly with A4 — together they create a "Break explosion."
- A3 (Fourth):
Prevents Insight from being removed and allows stacking up to 3 stacks. A mechanical improvement, but its value really shines in late-game high-difficulty content rather than early game.
- A6 (Fifth):
Increases all damage dealt by 15%. A straightforward, no-frills stat boost — decent, but not as transformative as the ones above.
- A2 (Last):
A fallback damage option when Phantom Step fails to counter successfully. Trigger condition is passive, making it the lowest priority.
