Rover Overview

In Wuthering Waves, Rover is a 5-Stars Spectro character and uses Sword during the fight.

Rover, awakened with a mysterious history, sets forth on a quest to unveil the hidden truths. Along the way, as the secrets unravel, Rover forges profound bonds with the world around them.

A Resonator of enigmatic identity, wielding the ability to absorb any sounds, Rover embarks on this journey with the sole purpose of reclaiming their long-lost memories.

Rover Review

Rover is a 5-Star Spectro character in Wuthering Waves.

In the current version, you can obtain 4 free Resonance Chains. With the support of the Resonance Chain effect, although each rotation’s damage is lower than that of five-star characters, it is still quite outstanding compared to four-star characters with low Resonance Chains.

However, since there are no additional means to obtain Resonance Chains in the current version, it appears weaker when compared to 4-star characters with high Resonance Chains. It is suitable for F2P (Free-to-Play) players to develop.

Rover S6 possesses the game’s only RES Reduction effect, which can boost the team’s damage by at least 11.1%, showing future potential.

Pros

  • Relatively easy to develop, requiring fewer materials.
  • Due to the RES Reduction effect of Sequence 6, it still holds potential for the future.

Cons

  • Stats is low, and it will have fewer opportunities to be used once high Resonance Chain 4-star or 5-star characters are obtained.

Rover Team Comp

Rover Best Team I

Main DPS – Phoebe

Phoebe can be switch between Absolution mode (Main DPS) and Confession mode(Support). In this team, Phoebe is a Main DPS which mainly deals damage by Heavy Attack: Starflash.

Sub DPS – Rover (Spectro)

S6 Rover (Spectro) can reduce the Spectro Resistance of enemies, thereby increasing Phoebe’s damage. Additionally, Rover’s Forte Circuit prevents Spectro Frazzle stacks from diminishing over time.
Among all Spectro characters other than Phoebe, Rover (Spectro) is currently the only one who can trigger Spectro Frazzle.

Healer – Shorekeeper/Verina

In addition to providing the traditional 15% All DMG Deepen like other healers, Shorekeeper’s Liberation can offer continuous healing, crit rate, and crit damage, making it very powerful. The Outro Skill’s buff allows knocked-back teammates to immediately recover from the interruption.

Verina is a secondary healer that can provide Spectro DMG deepen and ATK% increase to teammates. While Verina is more comprehensive, her buff lasts longer, and she can protect a party member from fatal damage every 10 minutes.

Rover Premium Best Team 2

Sub DPS
Over 60% of Chixia’s damage comes from Resonance Skill types, with Resonance Skill: Boom Boom accounting for a significant portion. Activating Resonance Skill: Boom Boom requires 30 Thermobaric Bullets, which can be easily interrupted when facing highly mobile enemies.

Rover (Spectro)’s Area of Stasis can create an environment for dealing damage.

Healer

Verina’s healing abilities and Concerto Energy acquisition abilities are both greater than Baizhi’s, making her the preferred healer character. Verina’s Inherent Skill provides a one-time death immunity effect. Baizhi also has a similar effect that is even better, but it requires unlocking at Sequence 5.

Verina’s healing amount is based on her ATK, so Verina has a certain degree of damage output. If you build it well, her damage should not be underestimated.

Verina’s Inherent Skill can provide a 20% attack buff to the entire team, while Baizhi can only provide a 15% attack buff to a single character.

More Build Guides

Calcharo

Calcharo primarily uses the enhanced Basic Attack and enhanced Forte Circuit after using Resonance Liberation for damage output. In the series of damage output after using Resonance Liberation, the damage ratio between Resonance Liberation and Basic Attack is approximately 2.2:1. Additionally, the Resonance Skill can be released at intervals, allowing full enjoyment of the permanent five-star weapon’s effects.

After using Resonance Liberation, Calcharo gains a new Basic Attack model. The multiplier for this attack is related to the level of Resonance Liberation, but the main proportion of his damage comes from the “Death Messenger” in Forte Circuit. Resonance Skill can be used during the Liberation period to interrupt Basic Attack combos, quickly generate Forte Circuit Energy, and trigger “Death Messenger”. The main components of his damage output consist of these three elements.

Encore

mong the permanent 5-star Fusion DPS characters, Encore enters an enhanced state and changes attack mode after activating Resonance Liberation. The main source of Encore’s damage comes from Basic Attacks after activating Resonance Liberation, not the Forte Circuit. Additionally, the cooldowns for Encore’s regular Resonance Skill and the enhanced Resonance Skill during Resonance Liberation are independent of each other.

In Encore’s damage output after activating Resonance Liberation, Basic Attack damage accounts for nearly 70%. Choosing Sanhua as a teammate can maximize her damage potential.

Sanhua

Although Sanhua has burst capabilities, the overall damage is not high. In Sanhua’s output cycle, Resonance Skill damage and Resonance Liberation account for approximately 51% and 41%, respectively.

Although Resonance Skill damage is slightly higher, there is a risk of missing in actual combat. Sanhua has a unique Forte Circuit trigger mechanism similar to rhythm games, and hitting enemies can cause a slight time-stopping effect.

Sanhua has the fastest Concerto Energy and Resonance Energy acquisition efficiency in the game, making it the most versatile and best-feeling support in the current version. After using the Intro Skill, Sanhua only needs 3 seconds to fully charge Concerto Energy and trigger QTE, activating the Main DPS for output. Our team composition recommendations for various characters also show Sanhua’s high versatility.
