After gathering all of their strength to protect their companions and the nation of Jinzhou, the Rover finally becomes able to control the abilities of the Crownless. Needless to say, the new form is a sight to behold and pushes our protagonist forward as the current best Havoc DPS in Wuthering Waves.
But how should you build the Havoc Rover? To all looking to show the depths of their newfound power, here’s the best Havoc Rover build in Wuthering Waves.
The best weapons for the Havoc Rover
The best weapon for the Havoc Rover is the 5-star Emerald of Genesis. The sword is a dream come true for all DPSs. The reason? It’s high amount of Crit Rate (24.3% at level 90) and 12.8% Energy Regen boost. Emerald of Genesis will also allow the Rover to boost their ATK by performing their Skill. Keep in mind that you will only be able to fully stack the ATK buff after unlocking their second Sequence Node.
Best alternatives
If the above is not an option for you, the best weapon for the Havoc Rover will be the BP-exclusive Lumingloss. The 4-star is my main pick thanks to its great overall ATK value and ability to boost their Basic and Heavy Attack DMG by 20%. The latter is by far the best passive among the swords of its class and can be especially deadly if paired with certain Outro Skills and Echo buffs.
Commando of Conviction will be my secondary 4-star alternative for the Rover. Although lacking the DMG buff of our top 4-star, the weapon will offer a heavy sum of ATK (412 base plus a 30.3% increase at level 90). It also allows you to get another 15% boost in the attribute after performing their Intro Skill. If you don’t mind the loss of its passive, the craftable Sword#18 will provide the same ATK value as Commando of Conviction.
Best Sonata and Echoes
As you can expect, the best Sonata for the Havoc Rover is a full Sun-sinking Eclipse. The Sonata is my main pick given its permanent 10% Havoc DMG Bonus and how it allows you to further enhance the buff by up to 30% after performing basic and heavy attacks.
The best main echo for the Havoc Rover is Dreamless. The echo possesses one of the fastest and highest damaging skills in the game. Tailor-made for the Havoc Rover, you will also be able to exponentially boost its damage if used following their Resonance Liberation. Using Crownless in the main role can also work when in teams not featuring a Havoc DMG-focused support, as the echo will offer a massive boost in both the attribute and Resonance Skill DMG. For the remaining spots, I recommend that you go with two Elites and two Common echoes.
Best stats and substats
As you can see in the image above, the best main stat for our main echo is Crit Rate. This is a must for any DPS, as no matter how high your maximum DMG is, it won’t matter if you cannot inflict it. For the remaining echoes, we will then go with pairs of Havoc DMG Bonus and ATK. For the substats, focus on Crit Rate, Crit DMG, ATK, Basic Attack DMG Bonus, Heavy Attack DMG Bonus, and Energy Regen.
To deal consistent criticals, you will need to have at least 50 to 60% Crit Rate. After reaching our Rate threshold, I recommend that you shift your main focus to Crit DMG.
Best teams for the Havoc Rover
The best team for the Havoc Rover in Wuthering Waves has him as its main DPS and Danjin as its sub-DPS/support. Danjin is our main support pick thanks to her Outro Skill’s ability to provide a 23% Havoc DMG Deepen increase. She is also able to deal massive on-field damage and will guarantee that you will be able to keep up the pace while the Rover is on standby.
We will then have Verina as a healer. Considered the game’s best, she will provide both a colossal amount of healing and a universal DMG Deepen buff. She can also revive units while at R0 and fill in as a sub-DPS.
If you don’t have Danjin, using Sanhua or Mortefi can also work great. Among the two, Sanhua is my main pick, given her ability to offer a massive Basic Attack Deepen Bonus. Baizhi can also excel in this composition if you don’t have Verina or want to save her Energy Points.
