Burst DPS Build

Skill Priority

Forte Circuit

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

Rover (Havoc) big burst damage would come from his Resonance Liberation so upgrade this together with their Forte Circuit. This increases the already ridiculous damage multiplier which can melt even the toughest of enemies in the game.

Normal Attack

Even though Rover (Havoc) will consistently use 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

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.

Intro Skill

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.

Forte Circuit

Umbra Eclipse

When “Umbra” is full, hold Basic Attack to cast Devastation, dealing Havoc DMG and considered Heavy Attack damage. After casting Devastation, Rover enters the Dark Surge state. In this state: Basic Attack is replaced with Enhanced Basic Attack (5 consecutive attacks), Heavy Attack replaced with Enhanced Heavy Attack, and Resonance Skill Wingblade is replaced with Resonance Skill Lifetaker, transforming sounds into blades, all dealing Havoc DMG. Rover can hold up to 100 points of Umbra, recovered by Normal Attacks, Resonance Skills, and Intro Skill on hit.

Requirements: Umbra gauge must be full to use Devastation and enter Dark Surge.

Burst DPS Build Details

Best Weapon: Emerald of Genesis

Alternative Weapons: Commando of Conviction, Lumingloss, Lunar Cutter

Notes: Rover (Havoc) works as your typical Main DPS. You can build them with the usual CRIT and ATK stats to increase their overall damage.

Best Echo Sets

Havoc Eclipse

5 pieces

A 5-pc Havoc Eclipse is the best Havoc set for a Havoc Main-DPS like Rover-Havoc. Havoc DMG also increases after a Basic Attack or Heavy Attack which is part of their kit.

Havoc Eclipse + Lingering Tunes

4 pieces

You can also opt for a mix of Havoc Eclipse and Lingering Tunes if you have better sub-stats for those pieces. This increases both Havoc DMG and ATK - great for a Havoc DPS like Rover-Havoc.

Recommended Main Echoes

Dreamless

One of the best Havoc echo that deals damage in a huge area. Damage of the Dreamless also increases when used after Rover-Havoc's Resonance Liberation which makes them a perfect pair.

Tambourinist

An early game echo alternative for Havoc-Rover, perfect for just dealing damage when needed. Change to Dreamless after getting a good stat Dreamless echo.

Tips & Tricks

Prioritize upgrading Forte Circuit and Resonance Liberation to maximize burst damage.
Use Dreamless as your main echo, especially after using Resonance Liberation to increase its damage.
In combat, fill your Umbra gauge with normal attacks and Resonance Skill, then use Devastation to enter Dark Surge state for enhanced attacks.
The combination of Forte Circuit and Resonance Liberation enables Havoc Rover to be a great burst Main DPS; focus on upgrading them first.

Teams

Synergistic team ideas to help Rover: Havoc shine in varied content.

Recommended Teams

2 team(s) suggested

Rover (Havoc) Premium Team

Team Composition

Strategy

1. Shorekeeper starts the battle and charges her Resonance Liberation alongside the team's Concerto Energy until the other Resonator's icons glow up. Cast her Resonance Liberation once available to set up her Stellarealm.
2. Once Roccia is fully charged, switch to her. Shorekeeper's Outro Skill will provide Crit buffs and healing while inside the Stellarealm.
3. Use Roccia's optimal combo to charge her Liberation and Concerto Energy. Finally, switch to the Rover when the Concerto Energy is full. Doing this increases the Rover's Havoc and Basic Attack DMG.
4. Charge the Rover's Forte Circuit gauge so they can enter the Dark Surge state and do their combos. Do not forget to cast their Resonance Liberation whenever possible.
5. Finally, switch to Shorekeeper with full Concerto Energy to detonate the Stellarealm for a burst of damage!
6. Repeat the steps until enemies are defeated.

Notes

This team composition focuses on buffing the Rover's overall damage in battle using Shorekeeper and Roccia's buffs. If you also have Shorekeeper's second Inherent Skill unlocked, she will be able to apply a 10% Energy Regen gain to the Rover while her Stellarealm is active. Shorekeeper will provide healing as well as Crit. Rate, and Crit. DMG buffs to the entire party, while Roccia's Outro Skill provides a Havoc DMG and Basic Attack DMG Amplification to the Rover. Do note that this is team's damage will be drastically reduced against enemies who are immune to Havoc such as the Havoc Prism.

Alternative Characters

Sanhua(Sub-DPS Replacement)

Sanhua can provide a much-needed Basic ATK Deepen that will boost the Rover's damage while in Dark Surge state.

Yangyang(Sub-DPS Replacement)

Yangyang can group enemies up with her Resonance Liberation and provide Resonance Energy to the Rover with her Outro Skill.

Baizhi(Support Replacement)

Baizhi is a free-to-play option who can provide a ton of healing.

Buling(Support Replacement)

Buling is a decent healer support that can provide buffs and apply Electro Flare off-field. Her fast combos also allow for faster team rotations, making her a viable choice as a support.

Rover (Havoc) Free-to-Play Team

Team Composition

Strategy

1. Sanhua starts the battle and charges the Concerto Energy until the other Resonator's icons glow up. She should try and deal as much damage as possible with her ice structures.
2. Once the Rover is fully charged, you can switch to them to use their Intro Skill. Switching from Sanhua to the Rover will have their Basic ATK DMG Amplified so that they can deal more damage in their Dark Surge state.
3. Continuously attack enemies using the Rover's Basic Attack, making sure to avoid attacks thrown by the enemies. Once fully charged, use the Rover's Resonance Liberation and deal a lot of DMG with their kit. If available, follow up Rover's Resonance Liberation with the Dreamless Echo ability.
4. Switch to Sanhua 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 enemies are felled.

Notes

This free-to-play team composition relies on Sanhua to have Rover's Basic ATK Amplified so that they can maximize their damage when Dark Surge is active. Your third slot can be Baizhi or Shorekeeper if you have her.

Alternative Characters

Shorekeeper(Support Replacement)

Shorekeeper is the ideal support for the Rover if you have her available, as her second Inherent Skill grants the Rover a 10% Energy Regen upon casting her Resonance Liebration. This is on top of her ability to provide damage buffs to the entire team.

Verina(Support Replacement)

Verina can provide damage-related buffs to her allies. She also has better healing abilities compared to Baizhi. Slot her in if you pulled her in one of the banners or chose her in the 5-Star Resonator Selector.

Buling(Support Replacement)

Buling is a decent healer support that can provide buffs and apply Electro Flare off-field. Her fast combos also allow for faster team rotations, making her a viable choice as a support.
