Daffodill (Daphnir) Complete Build Guide: 1.0’s Only Chaos Main DPS, Free Youthful Fantasy Signature Arc, Discord Team Icon

Key Answer: Daffodill (Daphnir) is a 1.0 standard S-rank Chaos Main DPS, with a Liquid dual-blade Arc, Japanese CV Sayaka Ohara, and a background as a former senior operative of the Crimson Letter shadow organization + the Eboon Antiques shop. She is the only Chaos Main DPS in 1.0 and the core trigger of the Discord team. Her signature Arc “Youthful Fantasy” is completely free (from the Book of Post-Adolescence Anomaly commission), paired with the Diabolos 4-piece set (piercing 12%/24% Chaos resistance). A1 is a game-changer, and she is playable at E0. She will not be replaced by Lacrimosa from 1.1 on — instead she becomes a stagger-break trigger.

The calm, taciturn “Kaleidoscope Eye,” wielding a Liquid dual-blade Arc and serving as the core of the Discord team — Daffodill is hailed across the community as the “god of Chaos DoT Main DPS,” the “signature Discord trigger,” and “the most underrated free Main DPS among the standard 4-pick.” This article lays out her mechanics, build, Eidolons, recommended teams, and investment path all in one place.

1. Character Basics

Item	Details
English Name	Daffodill (official spelling; some English communities misspell it as “Daffodil”) / romanization “Daphnir”
Rarity	S-rank (standard pool)
Element	Chaos
Weapon Type (Arc)	Liquid — a dual-blade weapon
Role	Main DPS (stagger-break burst DPS) / Discord team core trigger
Affiliation	Eboon Antiques
Japanese CV	Sayaka Ohara
Background	A former senior operative of the “Crimson Letter” shadow organization, who left for reasons of her own and joined the Eboon Antiques shop. Calm and taciturn, her kaleidoscope eyes see through all things; beneath her cold exterior hides a gentle nature. Armament: a jet-black uniform + a gold-buckled tactical belt + dual blades. Her name derives from the Dutch word for “asphodel,” symbolizing rebirth, new beginnings, and hope.

2. Skill Set

Skill	Name	Mechanic Highlights
Basic Attack	Still Waters	The dual blades chain up to 5 hits, dealing Chaos damage; includes a special dodge and parry follow-up
Shift (E)	Resonance	The main damage skill. Every time a teammate uses an Assist skill, this skill is strengthened and accumulates Resonance stacks, up to 2; at max stacks it upgrades to “Echoes”
Ultimate (Q)	Finale	AoE Chaos damage, unsealing the left eye and applying the “Insight” state, while granting 2 charges of “Phantom Step”
Assist	Clashing Blade	A single Chaos strike from one swing; triggers the team Assist chain to build Black Tome / Resonance stacks
Passive	—	Greatly increases damage against enemies in the “Broken” state; while in Insight, deals additional Break damage to Broken targets (Insight × Break multiplied)

Combo Routine

Stay off-field → two teammate Assist skills to unseal the Black Tome
→ swap in and cast Shift (Resonance → Echoes) + Ultimate (apply Insight)
→ use Phantom Step to parry / chain combos
→ Black Tome keeps dealing damage to the marked enemy for 20 seconds

3. Eidolons / Awakenings (A1-A6)

Awakening	Name	Effect	Priority
A1	Mechanical Eye	Every time the team uses an Assist skill, “Shift: Resonance” damage is +100% and Topple value is +250% (core Eidolon, a DPS game-changer)	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A2	Mechanical March	If Phantom Step fails to parry the target, the final hit deals heavy damage and fully charges the Ultimate	⭐⭐
A3	Gathering of All Things	Once Insight is applied, it does not vanish unless the target falls or leaves combat; it can stack up to 2 layers	⭐⭐⭐
A4	Within Concealment	When a target in the Insight state enters Break, Break damage is +15% per layer of Insight	⭐⭐⭐⭐
A5	Complete Reality	When a target in the Insight state is Broken, each layer of Insight deals an extra instance of Break damage	⭐⭐⭐⭐
A6	Flower in the Lake	Attacks ignore 15% of the target’s Defense	⭐

Eidolon priority: A1 > A4 = A5 > A3 > A2 > A6

How playable at E0: fully playable (she reaches 80% of her strength once the free signature Arc is obtained). E2 has the lowest payoff and can be considered last.

4. Best Build

5. Recommended Teams

1. Discord Team ⭐ The mainstream best

Daffodill + Baicang + Sakiri + Fadia

• Mechanic: Chaos simultaneously triggers Scorch (Incantation × Chaos) + Nova (Chaos × Psyche)
• The two stacked reactions automatically trigger Discord, continuously draining the enemy’s Break bar
• Daffodill stays off-field and keeps dealing damage with the Tome, maxing out efficiency

2. DoT Double-Burst Team

Daffodill + Baicang + Sakiri + Mint

• Strengthens sustained Scorch DoT, suited to long Boss fights

3. F2P / Transitional Team

Daffodill + Sakiri + Haniel + Mint / Adler

• Haniel is a free character, making this team the friendliest for F2P players

4. Best Team from 1.1 On (outlook)

Daffodill + Lacrimosa (1.1, live 6/3) + Sakiri + Fadia

Daffodill will not be replaced; she shifts into a stagger-break trigger, triggering Lacrimosa’s Nightmare layers and letting her stack “Tomato Feast” + 400% ATK on every Discord.

6. Investment Priority

1. Character level ascension → 80 (priority → 60 to unlock the third skill slot)
2. Skill upgrades: Resonance (E) > Ultimate (Q) > Basic Attack > Assist
3. Youthful Fantasy signature Arc (free; be sure to get it and max it out)
4. Diabolos Cartridge 4-piece set (farm stats up to dual crit + ATK%)
5. Awaken A1 (consider it if you have Eidolon echoes to spare)

7. Pull / Selector Advice

Player Type	Verdict
Standard selector priority	4th priority: Jiuyuan > Sakiri > Baicang > Daffodill > Hathor > Fadia
F2P players	✅ Buildable — the only Chaos Main DPS in 1.0, with a free signature Arc and extreme cost-efficiency
Light spenders / monthly pass	⭐ Strongly recommend E1 (a game-changer)
Heavy spenders	Stop at E4; A5 and A4 are secondary burst points
Will 1.1 replace her?	❌ No. Lacrimosa is a Main DPS pure DoT, while Daffodill shifts into a stagger-break trigger; the two are complementary, and her core role in the Discord team stays intact

8. Community Memes / Reception

• “God of Chaos DoT Main DPS” / “Discord team core trigger”
• “The chosen child of the free S-rank Arc” — because her signature Arc comes free from an Anomaly commission, a must-grab for budget players starting out
• “The silent kaleidoscope-eyed lady” — written as quiet and reserved in lore, yet her “kaleidoscope eyes see through all things”; “a tenderness hidden beneath a cold face, like sunshine on snow”
• Moderate execution demands: unlocking the Tome via the Assist chain is the core, requiring teammates to cooperate with the damage rhythm; swapping in to parry can instantly charge the Ultimate to full
• Open beta T0.5 rating (high single-target, medium AoE, needs coordination)
• “Stronger than the official hints suggest” — many guides call her “the most underrated free Main DPS starting point among the standard 4-pick”
