Rover’s Resonance Skill, Resonating Slashes, launches an attack in front of them to deal Spectro Damage. Their Forte can change this attack to Resonating Spin when enough of the Diminutive Sound resource has been amassed, instead unleashing whirling blades forward, which are then followed up by the forward lunge.

Their Resonance Liberation, Echoing Orchestra, deals Spectro Damage in an area of the effect around the target.

Rover’s Outro Skill, Instant, creates an area of stasis around the swapped-in character, slowing down all enemies in range. Their Inherent Skills focus around buffing their Resonance Skill and Heavy Attack.

You can further boost Rover’s power by filling their Resonance Chain, acquiring the necessary items for this by delivering Sonance Caskets to Jinzhou and following the story. Though buffs to Rover’s own combat prowess are in majority, Sequence Node 4 (S4) allows them to heal allies based on their Attack after using Resonance Liberation and S6 enables them to reduce Spectro Resistance of enemy targets. These aspects give Rover a little more nuance and versatility in a variety of team compositions.

Best Rover (Spectro) Echoes – Wuthering Waves

The Celestial Light Sonata Effect is best suited to maximize Rover’s damage output, buffing their Spectro Damage. Mourning Aix as a Main Echo pick strikes the same spot: Not only does it deal Spectro Damage itself when activated, but it increases the character’s Spectro Damage as well as Resonance Liberation Damage afterwards, which is perfect to set Rover up for a big combo.

Offensive stats are the name of the game for Rover: Critical Rate, Critical Damage, Spectro Damage, Attack % – take whatever you can get your hands on. Having Energy Regeneration as a sub stat on a few Echoes should be enough to keep the Resonance Liberations coming, but if you feel like Rover’s ultimate attack takes too long to charge for your taste, you can opt to have one 3 Cost Echo with Energy Regeneration instead of Spectro Damage.

Best Rover (Spectro) teams – Wuthering Waves

Rover is mostly focused on dealing damage, but aspects like their heal, resistance reduction, and Outro Skill push them more into the hybrid category later on.

• Rover (Main DPS), Yangyang (Hybrid), Verina (Support)

This 4-Star team is probably what many players will run with until they get their first 5-Star character – and that’s fine, because it can carry you very far. Rover is delivering most of the damage on this team, while Yangyang focuses on generating additional Energy to charge up Rover’s Resonance Liberation. Baizhi is an easily accessible healer for those who don’t have Verina, who is by far the best option for this slot.

Rover's Resonance Liberation is a powerful area-of-effect attack. / Kuro Games
