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.
Key Mechanics
Light Prism (Break Specialist)
| Property | Detail |
|---|---|
| Break DMG Bonus | +20% permanent Break Damage contribution |
| Discord Enhancement | Permanently reduces enemy Break caps |
| Stacking | Discord reduction stacks permanently in combat |
| Priority Targets | Focus early attacks on highest-threat enemies |
Light Prism makes Daffodill one of the best Break specialists in the game. The permanent Discord Enhancement means enemies become progressively easier to Break throughout a fight.
Resonance System
| Stacks | Effect |
|---|---|
| 0 | Base Resonance damage on Support Skill entry |
| 1 | Enhanced DMG and Break |
| 2 | Upgrades to Echoes — significantly enhanced effects |
Each team Support Skill cast (from any teammate) increases Resonance stacks. Coordinate with teammates to cast their Support Skills before switching to Daffodill for maximum Resonance/Echoes damage.
Insight Debuff (from Ultimate)
| Property | Detail |
|---|---|
| Application | Unsealed Eye (Ultimate) |
| Effect | Amplifies all damage taken by target |
| A3 Enhancement | Cannot be removed; stacks up to 3 |
| A4 Synergy | Break DMG +15% per Insight stack when target enters Break |
| A5 Synergy | Additional Break Damage per Insight stack on Break |
Insight is a team-wide damage amplifier. At A3, it becomes irremovable and stackable, making Daffodill’s Ultimate one of the strongest debuffs in the game for extended fights.
Best Build
Arc (Weapon)
| Priority | Arc | Why |
|---|---|---|
| BiS | Diabolos | Break-focused bonuses complement Break specialist role |
| Alt | Shadow Creed | General CRIT scaling for personal damage |
| F2P | Shiny Days | Break Intensity + DMG vs Broken units |
Cartridge Set
Diabolos (4-piece) provides Chaos DMG and RES ignore bonuses that synergize with Daffodill’s Break-focused playstyle.
Alternative: Shadow Creed for general CRIT builds.
Stat Priority
| Slot | Main Stat | Sub-Stats |
|---|---|---|
| Module 1 | ATK% | Break Efficiency > CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG |
| Module 2 | Break Efficiency | ATK% > CRIT Rate > Chaos DMG% |
| Module 3 | CRIT Rate | CRIT DMG > ATK% > Break Efficiency |
Break Efficiency is prioritized to amplify Daffodill’s Break specialist role. ATK% scales all damage including Break contribution.
Skill Priority
Ultimate > Support Skill > Skill > Basic Attack
Ultimate receives the highest priority because Insight is Daffodill’s primary team contribution. Support Skill (Resonance) is second due to its scaling damage.
Awakening Priority
| Priority | Level | Effect | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | A3 | Assembly of Creations — Insight irremovable, stacks to 3 | Transforms Insight into permanent team amplifier |
| 2nd | A1 | Eye — Resonance DMG +100% and Break +250% per Support Skill cast | Massive personal damage increase |
| 3rd | A4 | In Concealment — Break DMG +15% per Insight stack on Break | Synergizes directly with A3 |
| 4th | A6 | Bloom in the Lake — All damage +15% | Unconditional damage increase |
| 5th | A5 | Perfect Truth — Additional Break Damage per Insight stack | Further Break amplification |
| 6th | A2 | Mechanical March — Phantom Step deals high damage if counter fails | Situational bonus |
A3 is the critical breakpoint that makes Daffodill’s Insight irremovable and stackable. This transforms her from a Break specialist into a permanent team damage amplifier.
Resonance
| Level | Effect |
|---|---|
| R1 Covert Operation | Increases skill levels by 1 |
| R2 Sunlight and Sanctuary | Reduces target’s Chaos RES by 20% when they enter Break |
R2 provides a significant Chaos RES shred that benefits all Chaos DPS teammates (Lacrimosa, Chiz in Cosmos/Chaos teams).

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.
