Skill Analysis
Normal Attack
Mid-speed melee attacks that apply Scorch. Each hit stacks a burn debuff on enemies, and at sufficient stacks triggers a Discord explosion for massive Chaos damage.
Elemental Skill (E)
Deals heavy single-target Chaos damage and applies a Discord mark. Marked enemies take additional Chaos damage when attacked for 8 seconds. Daffodil's core damage-amplification skill.
Elemental Burst (Q)
Detonates all active Scorch and Discord effects on the field, dealing massive burst damage scaled by debuff stacks. More stacks = more damage. The core rotation is stack debuffs fast then detonate with Q.
Passive Talent
+20% Crit Rate against Discord-marked enemies. Additionally, each Scorch+Discord reaction restores a small amount of energy, accelerating Q rotation.
