Rover (Havoc)'s Best Teams

Rover (Havoc) Free-to-Play Team

Main DPS Sub-DPS Support
Rover (Havoc) How to Unlock and Best Builds | Wuthering Waves (WuWa)|Game8 (26)Rover (Havoc) Yangyang Baizhi

This free-to-play team composition relies on Yangyang providing Resonance Energy for the Rover so that they can use their Resonance Liberation sooner.

Your third slot can be Baizhi or any other healer if you have them.

General Rotation

1 Yangyang starts the battle and charges the Concerto Energy until the other Resonator's icons glow up. She can use her Resonance Liberation to group up small enemies.
2 Once the Rover is fully charged, you can switch to them to use their Intro Skill. Switching from Yangyang to the Rover will restore the latter's Resonance Energy.
3 Use the Rover's Resonance Liberation and deal a lot of DMG with their kit.
4 Switch to Yangyang again once the Concerto Energy has fully charged up. If you need healing, switch to Baizhi and use their healing skill for a quick heal.
5 Repeat the steps until the enemy is felled.

Rover (Havoc) Premium Team

Main DPS Sub-DPS Support
Rover (Havoc) How to Unlock and Best Builds | Wuthering Waves (WuWa)|Game8 (29)Rover (Havoc) Mortefi Verina

This team composition focuses on buffing the Rover's overall damage in battle using Verina and Mortefi's buffs. Verina will provide healing and ATK buffs to the entire party while Mortefi can increase the Rover's Heavy Attack DMG.

Character Explanation
Yangyang Sub-DPS ReplacementYangyang can group enemies up with her Resonance Liberation and provide Resonance Energy to the Rover with her Outro Skill.
Danjin Sub-DPS ReplacementDanjin's Outro Skill provides a 23% Havoc DMG Deepen for 14s to the character switching in, synergizing well with Rover (Havoc) at S4. This is because Rover (Havoc) can reduce an enemy's Havoc RES by 10% whenever they use their Ultimate or a Heavy Attack when their Forte Gauge is fully charged.
Baizhi Support ReplacementBaizhi is a free-to-play option who can provide a ton of healing.

General Rotation

1 Verina starts the battle and charges the Concerto Energy until the other Resonator's icons glow up.
2 Once Mortefi is fully charged, switch to Mortefi. Verina's Outro Skill will increase his ATK and provides the entire party with an All-Type DMG Deepen buff.
3 Keep attacking the enemy with Mortefi until his Resonance Liberation is up. Activate Mortefi's Resonance Liberation as soon as you can and then switch to the Rover to increase the latter's Heavy Attack DMG.
4 Use the Rover's Resonance Liberation to deal DMG with their kit.
5 Repeat the steps until the enemy is defeated.

Rover (Havoc)'s Forte Priority

Skill Tree Priority

Forte Priority & Explanation
Basic Attack ★★★☆☆ - Medium Priority Even though Rover (Havoc) will consistently using their Basic Attacks, you will want to use the enhanced versions from their Resonance Liberation instead. You still want to upgrade this, but it is a medium priority when compared to the others.
Resonance Skill ★★★☆☆ - Medium Priority Rover (Havoc)'s Resonance Skill gets replaced by Umbra: Lifetaker when you enter the Dark Surge state, which makes this ability only usable in Rover (Havoc)'s unenhanced state. But, you still need to use Rover (Havoc)'s Resonance Skill to charge their Forte Gauge anyway. So, upgrading this ability should be your next priority when you fully upgraded the ones integral to Rover (Havoc)'s kit.
Forte Circuit ★★★★★ - Highest Priority Rover (Havoc) maximizes their damage output when they are in the Dark Surge state. Rover (Havoc)'s Basic Attack, Heavy Attack, and even Resonance Skill will be replaced by an enhanced version when entering Dark Surge. As you upgrade Rover (Havoc)'s Forte Circuit, the damage of the abilities mentioned will improve. With this, there is no doubt that this should be the highest priority to upgrade.
Resonance Liberation ★★★★☆ - High Priority Rover (Havoc)'s Ultimate does not have an enhanced version. This means that they will cast the same ability in and out of the Dark Surge state. Since Rover (Havocs)'s Ultimate deals a lot of damage, you should prioritize upgrading this after Rover (Havoc)'s Forte Circuit.
Intro Skill ★★☆☆☆ - Low Priority There is nothing special about Rover (Havoc)'s Intro Skill as it only deals Havoc DMG to a target when switching in. It is also their weakest ability. So, this ability should be the last one that you need to upgrade.

Rover (Havoc)'s Resonance Chain

Recommended Sequence Nodes

Why We Recommend It
S1 ★★★★☆ - Great Cryptic Insight provides a DMG bonus of 30% to Rover (Havoc)'s Resonance Skill. Meaning, this Sequence Node increases the damage of Wingblade and Lifetaker. A pretty straightforward upgrade to Rover (Havoc)'s kit but anything that buffs a DPS' damage is generally great!
S2 ★★★★★ - Amazing This Sequence Node resets the cooldown of Rover (Havoc)'s Resonance Skill whenever they enter the Dark Surge state. An amazing upgrade to Rover (Havoc)'s kit as it allows you to cast Rover (Havoc)'s Resonance Skill before entering their enhanced state and then using the ability again!
S3 ★★☆☆☆ - Okay This Sequence Node heals Rover (Havoc) whenever they land the full Basic Attack chain within the Dark Surge state. An okay upgrade to Rover (Havoc) but it is not that useful if you barely get hit by the enemies or have a healer in the team.
S4 ★★★★☆ - Great This node reduces the Havoc RES of enemies by 10% for 20 seconds whenever Rover (Havoc) successfully lands their Ultimate or a Heavy Attack when their Forte Guage is full. Note that the Havoc RES reduction will persist even when you switch out of Rover (Havoc). Fully taking advantage of this upgrade, however, limits you to using a Havoc team.
S5 ★★★☆☆ - Good This node improves Basic Attack V's damage in Rover (Havoc)'s Dark Surge state. This means that you will deal more damage when you land Rover (Havoc)'s full Basic Attack chain in their enhanced state. A great improvement if you can consistently land the last Basic Attack.
S6 ★★★★☆ - Great Improves Rover (Havoc)'s CRIT Rate in his enhanced state by 25%, allowing you to CRIT more often.

All Sequence Node Effects

S1 Cryptic InsightResonance Skill DMG Bonus is increased by 30%.
S2 Warning CrescentReset Resonance Skill's Cooldown when Rover enters the Dark Surge state by casting Heavy Attack Devastation.
S3 Surging ResonanceIn the Dark Surge state, Basic Attack V restores HP equal to 10% of total HP lost on hit.
