Overview

Daffodill is a former member of The Scarlet Letter who now works at the Eibon Antique Shop. She excels as a Break specialist through her Light Prism passive (+20% Break DMG contribution) and Discord Enhancement that permanently reduces enemy Break caps. Her Resonance mechanic rewards teams that frequently use Support Skills, scaling both damage and Break efficiency with each cast.

Her defining role is enabling Discord teams: by Breaking enemies faster and maintaining Insight debuffs, she amplifies the entire team’s damage during vulnerability windows.

Break Efficiency is prioritized to amplify Daffodill’s Break specialist role. ATK% scales all damage including Break contribution.

Gameplay Tips

Daffodill’s rotation centers around building Resonance stacks through team Support Skills, then entering with her own Support Skill (Resonance/Echoes) for maximum burst. The optimal sequence is: have 2+ teammates use Support Skills → switch to Daffodill → Support Skill (Echoes) → Ultimate (Insight) → Basic Attack combo → Displaced Edge for safety.

Use Displaced Edge during combos for safe invincibility frames. The dash provides both repositioning and damage, making it a low-risk option during enemy attack patterns.

Discord Enhancement stacks permanently in combat — focus early attacks on priority targets to reduce their Break cap before the team’s main burst window. In multi-wave content, this permanent reduction carries over between phases.

Pair Daffodill with characters who have frequent Support Skill usage (Haniel, Sakiri, Edgar) to maximize Resonance stacking speed.
