How Strong is Rover (Havoc)?

Strengths
• Inherent Skill gives innate Havoc DMG Bonus. • Ridiculous synergy with Dreamless' Echo Skill. • Has two different builds and playstyles. • Ascension Materials and Wavebands are easy to get.
Weaknesses
• Locked behind a Main Quest that requires UL 21. • Uses different Fortes and Resonance Chain from Spectro.

Rover (Havoc) is one of the best characters to get right now since they're free and incredibly strong for a main character in a gacha game. Their builds can also be adjusted to your playstyle preference, depending if you prefer using them as an on-field Main DPS, or part of a quick swap Dreamless Echo team.

The only real downsides are that they're locked behind the Main Quest Line and that their Fortes and Resonance Chain aren't carried over if you upgrade their Spectro version. Even then, their positives heavily outshine their negatives.

Rover (Havoc) Best Sonata Effects

Echo Set	Rating
Sun-sinking Eclipse (5-pc)	★★★ - Best A 5-pc Sun-sinking 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. Recommended Main Echo: Dreamless
Sun-sinking Eclipse (2-pc) Lingering Tunes (2-pc)	★★☆ - 2nd Best You can also opt for a mix of Sun-sinking 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 Echo: Dreamless

Rover (Havoc)'s Best Teams

Rover (Havoc) Free-to-Play Team

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Rover (Havoc)	Sanhua	Baizhi

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 any other healer if you have them.

General Rotation

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.

Rover (Havoc) Premium Team

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Rover (Havoc)	Danjin	Verina

This team composition focuses on buffing the Rover's overall damage in battle using Verina and Danjin's buffs.

Verina will provide healing and ATK buffs to the entire party while Danjin's Outro Skill provides a 23% Havoc DMG Deepen for 14s 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.

General Rotation

1	Verina starts the battle and charges the Concerto Energy until the other Resonator's icons glow up.
2	Once Danjin is fully charged, switch to her. Verina's Outro Skill will increase his ATK and provide the entire party with an All-Type DMG Deepen buff.
3	Keep attacking the enemies with Danjin until her Forte Circuit gauge is full. Then, activate Danjin's charged Heavy Attack. Finally, switch to the Rover when the Concerto Energy is full. Doing this increases the Rover's Havoc DMG.
4	Charge the Rover's Forte Circuit gauge so they can enter the Dark Surge state and do their combos.
5	Switch back to Danjin for her to also deal damage. Alternatively, switch to Verina if the team needs healing!
6	Repeat the steps until enemies are defeated.

Easy to Use DPS Character

Rover (Havoc) is an easy-to-use DPS character. But, deals a lot of damage when used you understand how their kit works. Basically, their whole gameplay revolves around dealing damage in their Dark Surge state.

Charge Rover (Havoc)'s Forte to Enter the Dark Surge State

The only way for Rover (Havoc) to enter the Dark Surge state is to stack Umbra points. In other words, you need Rover (Havoc)'s Forte Circuit gauge to be fully charged.

Abilities That Provides Umbra Points

Ability	Bars Charged
Basic Attack (5 Consecutive Attacks)	13 Bars
Heavy Attack (HA → BA4 → BA5)	11 Bars
Mid-air Attack	4.5 Bars
Dodge Counter	5 Bars
Resonance Skill (Normal Form)	17 bars
Intro Skill	12.5 bars

The values above are based on how much of the Forte Circuit gauge turns pink.

Listed above are all of Rover (Havoc)'s abilities that can charge Rover (Havoc)'s Forte gauge. The bars mentioned in the table refer to the grayish bars that form the Rover (Havoc)'s Forte Circuit gauge above their Health Bar.

Rover (Havoc)'s gauge has total of 41 bars to fill up. Their Resonance Skill in normal form provides the most Umbra and does not need to hit an enemy to earn Umbra.

Check out our recommended combos below to determine which combo can efficiently charge the Rover's Forte Circuit gauge.

▼ Recommended Combos ▼

Enter the Dark Surge State to Deal More Damage

To enter Rover (Havoc)'s Dark Surge state, use Heavy Attack: Devastation when the Forte Circuit gauge is full. This can be done by long pressing the Basic Attack button.

Maximize Damage in the Dark Surge

In the Dark Surge state, all of the Rover (Havoc)'s normal attacks and Resonance Skill will be enhanced. Your goal during the state is to land as many combos as possible. Note that you can extend the Dark Surge state using your Resonance Skill.

Cast Rover (Havoc)'s Ultimate to Deal Burst Damage

The damage of Rover (Havoc)'s ultimate is not affected by their Forte Circuit. This means that their Resonance Liberation does not have an enhanced variation. So, you can use Rover (Havoc)'s Ultimate whenever it is available!

Use Dreamless Echo Ability After

The Dreamless Echo ability deals more damage during the first 50 seconds after Rover (Havoc) casts their ultimate. So if it is available to use, follow up Rover (Havoc)'s ultimate with it!

Rover (Havoc)'s Recommended Combos

Switch-in Rover (Havoc) Combo

Combo
Intro Skill → Mid-air → Attack Res. Skill → Echo

The best way to start Rover's turn on the field is to use their Resonance Skill right away to gain a huge chunk of Umbra points from the get-go. You also want to use your Echo's ability right after casting the Resonance Skill.

Easy Normal Form Combo

Combo
Heavy Attack → BA4 → BA5 → Heavy Attack: Devastation (if Forte gauge is full)

If you succesfully landed the Switch-in Combo above, follow it up with a Heavy Attack and then two Basic Attacks. If the Forte Circuit gauge is already full, use Heavy Attack: Devastation.

Easy Dark Surge Combo

Combo
BA1 → BA2 → BA3 → BA4 → BA5 → Res. Skill

The combo that you need to execute during the Dark Surge state is pretty simple. You just have to land Rover (Havoc)'s full Basic Attack chain. Then, use your Resonance Skill when the state is about to end to extend it for a bit.

Ultimate to Echo Combo

Combo
Res. Liberation → Echo

When the Dreamless Echo ability's cooldown refreshes after using it during the Switch-in combo, only use it after activating Rover (Havoc)'s ultimate in order to maximize the Dreamless' damage.

You can sneak in this combo after doing any of the combos above. Do note that the DMG buff only applies to Dreamless. Other Echoes don't have this unique ability!

Forte Priority Explanations

Forte	Explanation
Basic Attack	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	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	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)'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	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 Insight Resonance Skill DMG Bonus is increased by 30%.
S2	Warning Crescent Reset Resonance Skill's Cooldown when Rover enters the Dark Surge state by casting Heavy Attack Devastation.
S3	Surging Resonance In the Dark Surge state, Basic Attack V restores HP equal to 10% of total HP lost on hit.
S4	Annihilated Silence Heavy Attack Devastation and Resonance Liberation Deadening Abyss reduces enemy Havoc RES by 10% for 20s on hit.
S5	Aeon Symphony In the Dark Surge state, Basic Attack V deals an additional Havoc damage equal to 50% of Basic Attack V damage.
S6	Ebbing Undercurrent In the Dark Surge state, Rover's Crit. Rate is increased by 25%.
