Review

Daphne joins the fairy roster bringing two valuable assets: her shining personality and her insane cheese potential. As a defender, she's able to soak some of the team's damage with her passive, and 'store' the damage she receives to inflict ludicrous levels of damage to the enemy with her main skill, provided she lives enough to do it. This is due to her special buff Shock Absorption, which allows her to receive up to 40% from her bound allies and store 50% of that damage, which gets added to her main skill. Once per battle, when Daphne's HP hits 0, she will receive a buff that makes her immune to crowd control while also making her immortal - when the buff ends, she'll restore HP based on how much damage she received. The only downside of this is that it's a buff - enemies that have dispels like Soonie or Claudia can instantly remove it, leading to an early demise. While being a defender, she doesn't have major defensive steroids besides her artifact giving her damage reduction. She can gain a shield with her sub skill, but expect her to get damaged quite fast considering the HP damage share. She also doesn't taunt, meaning she does not directly replace Chloe as the go-to tank for battleground and tower. However, her ability to delete frontliners with proper positioning, timing and the damage absorption will make Daphne shine in content where you need multiple parties, especially universal gate depths and guild raids. To cement her role in guild raids, she also buffs her team mates for 15 seconds when her sub, Blacksmith God's Blessing, is active. Her normal attacks can also inflict a stackable def down, making her an excellent choice in many scenarios. Considering her damage depends on damage received, she can cheese stages at lower ascensions, but she obviously benefits from higher ascensions as it will let her live longer in harder content.

Pros & Cons
Pros

  • Works well at low ascension

  • Can cheese 3 team fights
