How Strong Is Daphne?

Strengths
• Excellent healer support while being available by progressing the game.
• Provides multiple damage buffs to the entire party. She gives Crit Chance and increases damage dealt by allies upon increasing her Intron level.
• Debuffs enemies' attacks and deals sustained DoT against targets inside her domain.
Weaknesses
• She primarily shines as a support unit and isn't ideal as a DPS due to her low-damage abilities.
• Can be quite squishy due to her healing scaling from her ATK rather than HP.

Daphne is a high value support unit capable of both providing sustain and damage buffs to allies. She can fit in a lot of teams and is easy to build due to her buffs scaling with ATK.

She also provides debuffs to enemies upon using her ultimate skill, making her ideal for both dealing with bosses and enemy waves.

Character
1: Prime • Uplift (Gold)
2: Wings • Eternity (Purple)
6: Wings • Inspo (Gold)
8: Inspo (Blue)
Core: Sidestep

Daphne's best weapon options are the Tetherlash and the Osteobreaker. Given her weapon proficiencies are the Whipsword and Assault Rifle types, she'll get more ATK from these weapons.

Tetherlash is ideal as it gives her more Skill Duration, providing longer uptimes of her healing, buffing, and debuffing capabilities. You'll also want to run her as a team partner rather than the main unit on-field, so improving on her uptimes are recommended.

Daphne Best Weapons

Best Daphne Melee Weapons

# Melee Weapon Skill (Max)
1 Tetherlash Icon Tetherlash Skil Duration +36.0%
2 Viridis Reefs Icon Viridis Reefs Trigger Probability +150.0%. Charged Attacks with this weapon grant +88.0% ATK Speed for 6.0s. Effect is removed when switching weapons.
3 Undying Oneiros Icon Undying Oneiros Max HP +100.0%. When this weapon triggers a bonus effect on hit, grants +17.2% Max HP for 15s (up to 10.0 stacks).
4 Blade Amberglow Icon Blade Amberglow Character ATK +120%

Tetherlash is Daphne's best weapon as it gives her extra Skill Duration, improving her healing and buffing skills' uptime. As she is primarily run as a support, you'll want this to be active as much as possible.

For alternatives, other Whiplash weapons are viable to maximize her weapon proficiency. You can also consider using the Blade Amberglow, as it gives her a huge ATK% increase, making her healing a lot more potent.

List of All Melee Weapons

Best Daphne Ranged Weapons

# Ranged Weapon Skill (Max)
1 Osteobreaker Icon Osteobreaker Skill Duration +36.0%.
2 Daybreak Hymn Icon Daybreak Hymn Multishot +75%. When dealing damage with this weapon, the lower the remaining Ammo percentage, the higher the damage dealt, up to a higher the damage dealt, up to a maximum increase of 90.0%, with full effect when the Ammo count is below 20.0%.
3 Flamme De Epuration Icon Flamme De Epuration Trigger Probability +150.0%. When this weapon triggers a bonus effect on hit, there is a 60.0% chance to reload 1 projectile.

Osteobreaker is the best option for Daphne, as it gives her more Skill Duration for better uptime of her abilities. Get this when possible, as this Assault Rifle greatly improves her supportive capabilities.

For other alternatives, the Daybreak Hymn is a considerable Assault Rifle option that lets you get the benefits of her weapon proficiency. That said, you can use other weapons like Flamme De Epuration for their effects.

Best Team Comps

Daphne Skill Priority

Recommended Skills

Skill Priority Explanation
Emerald Effusion ★★★★ This ability provides strong healing to her entire team over a large domain. That said, it doesn't provide anything else and is recommended as a secondary priority after her Repulsion Synthesis.
Repulsion Synthesis ★★★★★ This skill is Daphne's primary source of buffs to her allies and should be highly prioritized when upgrading her kit. Level this up first.
Azoth Projectile ★★★☆☆ Azoth Projectile is one of Daphne's main sources of damage that is mainly dealt as a coordinated attack with ranged weapons. This is less of a priority, but still boosts the team's damage overall. Upgrade this last, but do not neglect it.

Daphne Healing Skills

Skill Effects
Emerald Effusion
Grants [Emerald Effusion]. While active, alchemical smoke fills the area around the user, continuously healing self and allies while slowing enemies in the area.
While [Emerald Effusion] is active, generates 2 [Azoth Projectiles] per second.

Daphne Buff Skills

Skill Effects
Repulsion Synthesis
Heals self and allies, applying [Purification Formula]. Briefly restrains nearby enemies and inflicts [Decay Formula] on them.

Argent Lacrima
When Daphne possesses [Azoth Projectile] and her ranged weapon attack deals damage, target hit by the ranged weapon attack incurs the DoT of [Decay Formula] 1 time. The damage is based on a certain percentage of Daphne's Ranged Weapon Trigger Probability.
Ardent Impulse
[Available only when deployed as a Combat Partner]
Increases CRIT Chance for self and allies.

How to Play Daphne

Heal Allies and Slow Enemies Down

Emerald Effusion summons a field around Daphne that provides party healing and slow down enemies inside.

Buff Allies and Restrain Enemies

Repulsion Synthesis also provides healing towards the party and applies an Anemo DMG buff called Purification Formula.

Enemies nearby will receive Decay Formula, which decreases their attack and deals periodic Anemo DMG.

Azoth Projectiles Increase Trigger Probability

Daphne can collect Azoth Projectiles by using Emerald Effusion or Repulsion Synthesis. Each Azoth Projectile stack increases the Trigger Probability of Daphne's Ranged Weapon and a stack is consumed after attacking with a ranged weapon.

When Daphne attacks an enemy with a Ranged Weapon while carrying an Azoth Projectile, enemies that dealt damage this way will receive a Decay Formula.

Daphne Intron Levels

Recommended Intron Levels

Why We Recommend It
I1 ★★★★☆ - Great
Daphne's Intron 1 is a great upgrade to her already strong kit. This provides more buffs to her entire party, which improves upon her support role even further.
I2 ★★★☆☆ - Good
This Intron is good to have, as it basically improves her chances to apply her DoT even more against enemies in the field.
I4 ★★★☆☆ - Good
Daphne's Intron 4 is a nice-to-have improvement, as you'll want her to use as much skills as possible on the field. This extra and consistent source of Sanity lets you get more of her buffs and heals.
I6 ★★★★★ - Amazing!
Her Intron 6 is a huge improvement to her supportive capabilities. It provides a big DMG increase to DPS units regardless of element type. You'll want to get this eventually, as it drastically boosts her value even further.

Intron 3 and 5 are just stat boosts. So, they are not included in the table above!

All Intron Level Effects

Intron Effect
I1 While Emerald Effusion is active, self and allies gain +10.0% Damage Dealt.
I2 During Emerald Effusion state, the Azoth Projectile Daphne gains per second increases to 3.
I3 Emerald Effusion Level +2; Azoth Projectile Level +1.
I4 Restores 1 points of Sanity for each Azoth Projectile consumed.
I5 Repulsion Synthesis Level +2; Azoth Projectile Level +1.
I6 When a teammate applied with Purification Formula deals damage to an enemy inflicted with Decay Formula, Daphne gains 1 stack that increases Damage Dealt by 7.0% for 12s, up to 3 stacks. This effect can only be triggered once per second.
