NTE Daffodill build v1.2 — Arcs, modules, teams

Daffodill in 30 seconds

A star in the Break niche, essential for hard content with heavy stagger; but timing is difficult and she depends on her team — not a standalone carry, pull her if you enjoy the Break playstyle.

★★★½ 3.5/5

Current for v1.2 · updated 2026-07-10

Best Daffodill build

Role

Break-Burst Sub-DPS (Chaos/Liquid). The sole Break specialist of 1.0: her kit is purpose-built to wear down Break Intensity, shining right as an enemy's weak point is about to shatter; pairs with Baicang to trigger Scorch or with Psyche to trigger Discord.

Sources diverge: a Western list puts her in A, a Japanese list in S. A one-of-a-kind Break specialist — her value is her Break-breaking role rather than raw DPS, with tight timing; we settle on A.

Best Arcs (ranked)

1Youthful Fantasy BiS Recommended Arc (class TWO, S): raises Break Intensity and unlocks an effect synced with allies' Support Skills, matching her Resonance-stacking playstyle.
2Fluff of Fleetness S-rank alternative (TWO, S) per community meta sources when lacking the signature Arc.

Best module sets

4-pc Diabolos [2] Chaos DMG +10%; [4] pierces 12% Chaos resistance, climbing to 24% for 20s when Daffodill takes part in a Nova/Scorch reaction — exactly her reaction-core kit.

Stat priority

Main stats: Break Intensity › Chaos DMG › ATK%

Substats: ATK% › Break DMG › CRIT Rate › CRIT DMG

Verdict confidence: medium — community sources agree on her Break-specialist role; the Diabolos set + Youthful Fantasy arc match; meta scoring is still young so the tier could rise.
