Daffodil

Overview

Daffodil is a confirmed S-rank playable character in Neverness to Everness. She is a DPS character who specializes in dealing massive damage through stylish team switches while also boosting teammate support damage. She lives at the Eibon Antique Shop, where she takes care of the security, making sure the members of Eibon are safe and sound. Her specific element and weapon type have not yet been officially detailed.

Appearance

Daffodil was first revealed through the game's drip marketing campaign, with promotional visuals released in early January 2026 as part of a winter marketing series. She has been depicted wearing a black suit with blue streaks in her hair. Her visual design suggests an elegant but combat-ready aesthetic, with her outfit and posture reflecting both sophistication and readiness for action. A short character image video was released alongside the promotional art.

Personality

Daffodil's role as the security specialist at the Eibon Antique Shop reveals a character who is protective, vigilant, and serious about the safety of those she considers her responsibility. She ensures the members of Eibon are safe and sound, which in the context of a shop that also functions as a front for Anomaly response activities, means handling both mundane threats and potentially supernatural dangers.

Her association with stylish combat execution suggests a character who values presentation and flair alongside effectiveness. She approaches fights with a sense of style, making her team switch moments visually impressive while also being mechanically impactful. This combination of protective instincts and flashy combat style defines her dual identity as both a guardian and a fighter.

Abilities and Combat Kit

Daffodil's confirmed combat role is DPS. Her kit has several defining characteristics based on gameplay information from the Co-Ex Test:

Team Switch Specialization

Daffodil executes stylish maneuvers by switching between team members while dealing massive damage. When she swaps in, her entry attack deals significantly more damage than standard swap attacks, making her particularly valuable in team compositions that rotate characters frequently to trigger swap bonuses and QTE attacks.

Support Damage Boost

Beyond her personal DPS output, Daffodil boosts teammate support damage. This means that other characters in the party deal more damage when Daffodil is on the team, making her valuable both as an active combatant and as a passive team enhancer. This synergy encourages building teams around Daffodil rather than treating her as a standalone damage dealer.

Ultimate: Break Specialist

Daffodil's ultimate excels at breaking enemies particularly when charged quickly through successful parrying. The parry mechanic ties her defensive play directly to her offensive potential: the better a player parries incoming attacks, the faster her ultimate charges, and the more devastating the resulting break damage becomes. This creates a high-skill-ceiling playstyle that rewards precise timing and defensive awareness.

Esper Cycle Role

Daffodil's specific element has not been confirmed. Once her element is revealed, her position on the Esper Cycle wheel will determine which duo reactions she can trigger and which teammates she synergizes with most effectively. Her team switch focus means she will benefit from team compositions that rotate characters frequently regardless of elemental considerations.

Lore and Background

Daffodil lives at the Eibon Antique Shop, managed by Hotori. While other Eibon members have roles related to appraisal, restoration, or management, Daffodil's specific role is security. She ensures the safety of all Eibon members, which is a critical function given that the shop serves as a base for Anomaly response activities and houses various characters involved in supernatural operations.

She is affiliated with the Eibon Antique Shop alongside other notable characters: Hotori (the proprietress), Nanally (family head and Esper), Sakiri (hammer-wielding Esper), Taygedo (the Oddity restorer), and Zero (the player character who recently joined Eibon).
