Daffodil Build & Tier Rating

Daffodil is a A Tier S-Rank Chaos/Liquid Esper whose main job is damage / burst dps / break. Burst-focused Chaos damage dealer with strong break potential. Excels in short damage windows and against shielded enemies. They are worth building when their element, role, or free availability solves a specific roster gap.

The rating is based on practical account value rather than raw damage alone: role compression, team fit, element coverage, and how expensive the character is to make useful. For Daffodil, the standout points are high burst damage, shield breaking specialist, chaos element coverage, strong in content with damage-check phases. Because they are not a free pickup, the build should be weighed against your current pull and material plans.

In combat, Daffodil plays as a damage option with Chaos element coverage and Liquid arc typing. Chaos/Liquid-based burst attacks that deal bonus damage to shields. Ultimate unleashes a powerful single-target nuke with guaranteed break effect. Passive increases damage against broken enemies. This makes them easiest to justify when your team already supports that damage type or needs the utility attached to their kit.

Recommended teammates are Lacrimosa, Fadia and Haniel. If you do not own those exact characters, look for replacements that preserve the same jobs: a stable damage source, a way to amplify Chaos output, and enough survival or control to keep rotations consistent. For ready-made examples, compare the best NTE teams.

Start with Crit DMG / Chaos DMG / ATK%. Crit DMG / Chaos DMG / ATK%. Stack crit damage for maximum burst potential. 4-piece Chaos set. Do not over-farm perfect substats before your core team has usable gear; a stable baseline build usually gives more account progress than chasing one ideal piece.

Prioritize Daffodil when your account needs a damage or when Chaos coverage unlocks a better team shell. Based on vote trends, community sentiment is fairly balanced. Use that as a signal to test the character against your own roster instead of treating any tier placement as permanent.
