Daffodill Guide & Best Builds

Welcome to our Daffodill build guide for Neverness to Everness. Daffodill is an S-Rank Liquid Character available in Neverness to Everness who utilizes the Chaos element.

In our Daffodill guide, we'll cover everything you need to know to get the most out of your Daffodill, from building the best gear and weapons, to important skill priorities and combos.

Daffodill's Best Arcs

Youthful Fantasy M1
ATK - 570
ATK - 30%

"Black Tome"

Increases Break Intensity by 60.
Seals Arc: Black Tome with two chains by default. Unleashes 1 chain each time any character on the team casts a Support Skill. Makes Arc: Black Tome available when all two chains are unleashed.
Arc: Black Tome — Summons the Black Tome for 20s. Designates an enemy every 5s. Increases the wearer's Chaos DMG dealt to designated enemies by 20%. Deals Chaos DMG equal to 200% of the wearer's ATK to designated enemies when they take Break Damage.
Youthful Fantasy is the best Arc for Daffodill. She benefits greatly from the Attack increase and the Break Intensity increase, as her kit is designed around building break to stagger enemies quickly. As a Chaos character she also benefits from the Arc: Black Tome summon which boosts her Chaos DMG. Lastly as an Attack-scaling character, her high Attack will benefit the secondary damage dealt by the summon, once she breaks an enemy.
Shiny Days M5
ATK - 475
ATK - 25%

Film - MANISH

Increases Break Intensity by 48.
Increases DMG by 10% against Broken units.
Shiny Days is a great A-rank option if Youthful Fantasy is not available. It provides an Attack % bonus and Break Intensity, two stats Daffodill likes. Additionally, thanks to Daffodill's kit focusing on breaking enemies, she can use the increased damage to broken units more often than most Espers. At Mixing level 5 (5 more copies), the Break Intensity is larger than that of a Mixing level 1 Youthful Fantasy, so with enough copies it might be a better option if you want to fully invest in breaking enemies.
Mind Royale M5
ATK - 555
Break Intensity - 60

Inspiration Terminator

Grants the wearer 10 Ultimate Energy when casting a Redirect Skill. Triggers up to once every 20s.
Mind Royale is another solid A-rank weapon for Daffodill, providing a good amount of Break Intensity and Ultimate energy, helping her use her Ultimate more often in combat. While it does have a high base attack for an A-rank Arc, the lack of Attack % bonuses or any damage bonus does hurt her overall damage potential compared to the other two options.

Best Console Setups for Daffodill

Daffodill's Console bonus is a 10% Chaos DMG bonus for every Type III Module

Diabolos
Diabolos cartridge icon+2-cell vertical shapeL-shape (variant 2)L-shape (variant 4)4-cell horizontal shape
2-piece: Epic (2): Chaos DMG +10%.
4-piece: Legendary (4): Ignores 12% of enemies' Chaos RES. Ignores 24% of enemies' Chaos RES for 20s after the wearer participates in Nova or Scorch reactions.

Diabolos is the best option for Daffodill, as it boosts her Chaos DMG and allows her to ignore a good amount of Chaos RES, especially if she is paired with a Incantation or Psyche character to trigger the doubled effect.

After gaining the set bonus with optimal placement, you can add 2 more Type III and 1 more Type II Module, allowing Daffodill to have a total of 50% Chaos damage bonus after the set effect. While a 2-piece of this set with maximum Type III Modules will allow you to gain a total of 70% bonus Chaos DMG, missing out on the damage resistance ignore is generally worse, especially in a team that can trigger Nova or Scorch Esper Cycles. An example setup for the 4-piece set bonus is displayed below.

Qualifying Modules: 6
2-piece: Epic (2): Chaos DMG +10%.

Daffodill's Stat Priority

Cartridge Mainstat Priority: Break Intensity > CRIT > Chaos DMG
Substat Priority: Break Intensity > CRIT > ATK% > Universal DMG Bonus

Daffodill is an Esper centered around building break and benefits from as much break Intensity as she can get.

Daffodill's Skill Priority

Skill > Ultimate > Basic Attack > Support Skill

Daffodill's main source of breaking the enemies comes from her Skill and should be the first priority. After her Skill it is best to prioritize her Ultimate for her Phantom Step Parry Attack. Then the next priority is her Basic Attack followed by her Support Skill.

Daffodill's Awakening Priority

If you have one or multiple copies of a character, you will be able to select Awakenings of your choosing. The following is a recommendation for Daffodill's Awakening unlock order. Remember that you can switch them at any time to try out different ones, or tailor your choices for a specific fight or situation.

Awakening Unlock Order Explanation
Perfect Truth A5: Perfect Truth The First Awakening recommended is her A5, causing additional instances of Break DMG for each stack of Insight greatly increasing her damage potential. With her A3, this can lead to some crazy burst opportunities on enemies that live long enough to get broken multiple times.
Assembly of Creations A3: Assembly of Creations Her A3 should be her next priority, as it allows the Insight she generates with her Ultimate to stay on enemies, instead of being removed. This will result in a lot more Break DMG throughout the fight. With her A5, this can lead to some crazy burst opportunities on enemies that live long enough to get broken multiple times.
In Concealment A4: In Concealment Her third recommendation for her Awakenings is her A4. It increases her Break DMG for each stack of Insight, which pairs very nicely with her A3.
Mechanical March A2: Mechanical March Her fourth recommended Awakening unlock is her A2. It increases her damage and removes the need for Phantom Step to successfully Parry to charge her Ultimate. This is a good quality of life improvement if you're not that good with parrying.
Eye A1: Eye The next recommended Awakening For Daffodill, which greatly increases her Skill's damage and break per Support Skill cast.
Bloom in the Lake A6: Bloom in the Lake Bloom in the Lake is her sixth recommended Awakening. It allows her to ignore some of the enemy's Defense. This greatly helps her damage potential, and depending on the situation, might be preferable over other Awakening if you plan on playing Daffodill as more of a main DPS. however this is listed lower as it doesn't directly help her Break potential.

How to Play Daffodill

Daffodill is a burst focused Break Esper, using her Skill and Ultimate to help break enemies to create a stun window, which then sets up other characters to do the brunt of the damage.

Once the game has launched, and we had an opportunity to play around with all the characters, we will be updating this section with more specific rotational advice and how to set up specific combos for Esper Cycles or burst windows!
