Daisy is one of the newest heroes introduced in Guardian Tales, and she brings a unique mix of tankiness and melee offense to the team. This review will break down her skills, strengths, weaknesses, and ideal usage across various game modes.
Daisy is a Water element hero who primarily serves as a tank with strong defensive support for the team. She offers a 50% defense buff to the entire party, making her especially valuable in situations where survivability is key. Despite her tank role, she is a close-range fighter capable of dealing decent damage.
One quirky observation: her six-star form looks noticeably slimmer than her earlier appearances, which some players have joked might be because she “forgot to eat.” However, her visual change doesn’t affect her performance.
Daisy Guardian Tales Skills and Abilities
- Normal Attack: Daisy swings her sword to strike enemies directly in front of her.
- Active Skill (Taunt): This skill taunts enemies, forcing them to target Daisy while boosting her defense by 50%. This is a significant buff that greatly enhances her durability on the battlefield. After unlocking her Mythic Awakening node, the taunt also deals damage to enemies.
- Weapon Skill (Leap Strike): Daisy leaps forward and smashes the ground with her sword, creating ice pillars that damage enemies within the area.
- Chain Skill (Frozen Slash): She then performs a wide arc slash in front of her that deals damage to enemies standing in the ice pillar zone.
Passive Abilities:
- Mythic Passive: For every surviving teammate, Daisy increases her own damage and reduces damage taken by 10%. This makes her stronger as more allies remain alive.
- Five-Star Evolution Passive: This boosts her damage when teammates fall. If she’s the last one standing, her damage increases by 20%. This means Daisy grows stronger as teammates drop, giving her clutch potential.
Exclusive Weapon Effect:
- Expands the range and duration of her active skill.
- Restores 6% HP upon activating her active skill.
- Grants a 25% defense increase for 4 seconds after using her weapon skill.
Overall, Daisy is a true tank that combines strong defense with respectable offense.
Performance in Game Modes
Guild War & Boss Rush:
Daisy’s performance in Guild War and Boss Rush is underwhelming. She doesn’t shine much in these modes and is generally considered weak here.
Colosseum (PvP Arena):
This is where Daisy truly excels. Her high defense and powerful taunt make her arguably the best tank in the Colosseum. She can absorb damage for a long time and effectively pull all untargeted enemies to herself, protecting your backline damage dealers.
As a leader, however, she falls short due to the small area of her weapon skill and the need to activate it multiple times to trigger combos. But as a team member, she is excellent and is widely regarded as the top tank choice in PvP.
Competitive Tips:
- Pair Daisy with Arabel, who can dish out explosive weapon skill damage and hit multiple targets.
- Daisy struggles against Beth, a hero with special targeting that bypasses taunts to hit ranged backline heroes.
- To counter Beth, include Yuna in your team. Yuna’s totem can distract Beth long enough for Arabel to unleash her weapon skill and potentially eliminate Beth quickly.
Arena:
Daisy performs strongly in the Arena due to her massive 50% defense buff and damage reduction passive. She can survive hits from many opponents while still dealing solid damage herself.
Challenges:
- Weapon skill can be hard to land on fast enemies.
- Her normal attacks are relatively slow, so it’s best to use her on maps favoring melee engagements.
Usage Tips:
- Always activate her active skill when cooldown is ready to maintain the 50% defense buff.
- Save one skill charge to block incoming combo attacks and reduce damage.
- Use a normal attack just before weapon skill to extend its range.
- Place her in the third position on the team to maximize the passive damage boost.
Other Modes:
- Tethys Legend: Daisy can group enemies well but depends heavily on high damage supports to clear the stage efficiently.
- Deathmatch: She is strong in battle royale style play, especially with a defensive, survival-focused approach.
Daisy is currently the strongest tank for PvP in Guardian Tales, boasting the highest taunt efficiency and unparalleled defense buffs. While she lacks impact in Guild War and Boss Rush, her value in the Colosseum and Arena is undeniable. Players focusing on late-game PvP content will benefit most from investing in Daisy.
To counter specific meta threats like Beth, pairing her with smart damage-dealing supports like Arabel and Yuna is recommended. For those looking to strengthen their team’s frontline and improve survivability in PvP, Daisy is a solid pick that rewards strategic play.This concludes the review of Daisy.
