Daffodil
Chaos Liquid Arc DPS T0.5
Daffodil is a 5★ Chaos element DPS who follows the Liquid arc, and her T0.5 placement marks her as one of the strongest damage dealers currently available. Players seeking a reliable carry will find her among the top-tier options in the meta.
Best Arcs
- Best
- Youthful Fantasy
- Alternatives
- Shiny Days
- F2P
- Youthful Fantasy (free via The Book of Post-Adolescence)
- Cartridge
- Diabolos
Her best Arc is also free: Youthful Fantasy raises Break Intensity and syncs with allies' Support Skills, matching her Resonance-stacking playstyle. Prioritise Break Intensity then Crit; Diabolos is the recommended cartridge for Chaos comps.
Recommended setups from community build guides (~June 2026); not the only viable option.
How Daffodil plays
Daffodil is a burst-oriented Chaos DPS who thrives on stacking Resonance and pushing enemies into Break. Her tempo revolves around opening with her Ultimate to deploy maximum pressure, then weaving her Skill and Basic attacks to maintain damage flow while feeding Resonance. She gains Ultimate Energy by parrying incoming attacks, rewarding aggressive, reactive play rather than passive rotation. In a team she sits firmly as the primary carry, leaning on supports whose Support Skills amplify her output and accelerate Break. Ideal lineups pair her with Sakiri and Baicang alongside either Haniel or Adler, where the supporting cast sustains uptime and lets Daffodil chain her highest-multiplier windows. Expect spiky, front-loaded damage that peaks when enemies are vulnerable and Resonance is fully stacked.
Strengths
- Top-tier Chaos burst damage at the T0.5 ceiling
- Strong Break contribution that opens vulnerability windows for the whole team
- Her best-in-slot Arc, Youthful Fantasy, is fully obtainable for free
- Parry-based Ultimate Energy generation rewards skilled, reactive play
- Resonance-stacking kit scales superbly with support-heavy comps
- Flexible team building with multiple proven four-stack lineups
Weaknesses
- Front-loaded burst means damage dips outside her peak windows
- Relies on dedicated supports to maintain Resonance and Break uptime
- Parry-driven energy gain demands precise timing and active engagement
Daffodil build details
Skill priority
Level her Ultimate first, since it anchors her burst and applies the most pressure when enemies are exposed. Follow with her Skill for sustained Resonance and damage between bursts, then her Basic attack to keep the rotation flowing. Her QTE is lowest priority, upgraded last once the core damage abilities are maxed.
Stat priority
Build CRIT DMG on Slot 1 and CRIT Rate on Slot 2 to lock in reliable crits. For substats, chase CRIT Rate first, then CRIT DMG to balance your crit ratio, followed by ATK% and finally DMG%. Prioritise Break Intensity considerations early, then refine toward crit, ensuring she lands consistent high-multiplier hits during burst windows.
Modules & cartridge
Run the Core Set Diabolos modules, the recommended cartridge for Chaos compositions and her best-in-slot relic configuration. Allocate stats toward Break Intensity first to maximise her vulnerability windows, then pivot into CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG. Keep ATK% and DMG% as secondary fillers so her crit foundation stays consistent across every burst rotation.
Awakening nodes
Prioritise A3, A5, and A6, which deliver the largest overall impact on her damage and Break output. A1 is also valuable, boosting Resonance's damage by 100% and Break by 250% per Support Skill cast, directly rewarding her support-synergy playstyle.
Investment
Invest fully into Daffodil as a primary carry: max her Ultimate and Skill before secondary abilities, and equip Youthful Fantasy, her free signature Arc. For Resonance, prioritise R1 Covert Operation followed by R2 Sunlight and Sanctuary to round out her kit.
