Rover Havok Abilities

Rover Havok in WuV is a versatile damage dealer, combining the burst damage of his abilities and the gradual damage of his basic attacks. Unlike the Spectro version, Havok GG is less focused on ing the group with control effects, but contributes more DPS. Due to the equal distribution of damage from skills, he is able to play in short and long rotations, respectively, occupy the position of the main or secondary damage dealer.

The character has strong compatibility with Dreamless Echo, which greatly affects the outgoing damage and potential of the hero, and also requires the use of an ultimate. The GG's own skills are represented by skills with explosive damage and a long cooldown, and basic and heavy strikes are divided into attacks in a standard stance and an enhanced state. Let's look at Rover Havok's active and ive abilities, switching skills and resonance circuits in more detail, and also look at the order in which to upgrade the skills.

Active skills

• Basic and heavy strike, air attack, counter attack "Tuneslayer"

Basic Attack [Basic Attack] - Performs up to 5 consecutive attacks that deal damage to Havok.

Heavy attack [Heavy Attack] — consumes part of the stamina scale to carry out a Havok attack. Using a normal attack immediately after a heavy hit will allow you to start the chain from stage 4 of basic attacks.

Air attack [Mid-air Attack] — consumes stamina to carry out a fall strike.

Counterattack [Dodge Counter] - Using a basic attack after successfully parrying and dodging will cause a counterattack with increased Havok damage.

• Resonance Skill: Blade Wing [Resonance Skill: Wingblade] - turns sound into feathers that deal damage to Havok.

• Resonance Skill: Life Taking [Resonance Skill: Lifetaker] - turns sounds into blades that deal elemental damage to Havok. Replaces the "Blade Wing" resonance skill in the "Dark Flash" resonance gauge state.

• Resonant Release: Deadening Abyss [Deadening Abyss] - Concentrates Echo between his palms to cause an explosion of the Havok element.

• Resonance Scale: Eclipse Umber [Forte Circuit: Umbra Eclipse] - When the Umbra gauge is full, holding a basic attack will trigger the Devastation skill, the damage of which is considered heavy attack damage.

Dark Surge - After using the Ravage ability, Rover enters a Dark Surge state where all basic and heavy attacks are replaced with upgraded Umbra attacks with increased multipliers. At the same time, the resonance skill “Blade Wing” is replaced with “Life Taker”.

You can get Umbra resonance scale points using the following skills:

• each hit of the Tuneslayer basic attack;
• both variations of the resonance skill;
• entering the field using the Intro skill.

ive skills

• Natural Talent 1 [Inherent Skill: Metamorph]

In the Dark Flash state, Rover receives a bonus of 20% Havok damage.

• Natural Talent 2 [Inherent Skill: Bleak Crescendo]

In the Dark Flash stance, a basic strike restores 1 energy per hit. The effect can work 1 time per second.

Switching skills

• Intro skill [Intro Skill: Instant of Annihilation]

When entering the field, Havok launches a damage attack.

• Outro skill [Outro Skill: Soundweaver]

Leaves a small area on the field for 6 seconds, in which enemies receive 143,3% Havoc damage every 2 seconds.

The order of pumping skills

Resonance Gauge > Resonance Release = Resonance Skill > Basic Attack > Intro Skill

It is recommended to upgrade the elemental skills of the Rover Havoc in the following order:

1. Resonance scale [Forte Circuit] Fixes damage multipliers for all skills in the Dark Flash Buff Stance: Umbra Basic and Heavy Strikes, Devastation, and Life Drain Resonance.
2. В Resonant release [Resonance Liberation] and resonance skill [Resonance Skill] resources are invested evenly after fully leveling up the resonance scale.
3. Basic Attack [Basic Attack] rises when there are free resources, as well as in situations where Havok GG plays the role of a hyper-carry.
4. Intro skill [Intro Skill] is not a priority, especially if the team relies little on switching skills and uses an animation canceling style.

Resonant circuits (consts)

All resonant circuits of Havok GG:

1. Mysterious look [Cryptic Insight]	Resonance skill damage bonus increases by 30%.
2. Waning Crescent	Upon entering the Dark Flash state, the cooldown of the Resonance skill is reset.
3. Surging Resonance	In the Dark Flash state, the fifth stage of the basic attack restores health equal to 10% of that lost on hit.
4. Annihilated Silence	Havoc's Devastation Heavy Strike and Resonant Release reduce enemies' resistance by 10% for 20 seconds.
5. Aeon Symphony	In the Dark Flash state, the fifth stage of the basic attack deals additional damage equal to 50% of the initial damage of the V basic attack.
6. Fading secret feelings [Ebbing Undercurrent]	While in Dark Flash, your critical hit chance is increased by 25%.

The best consts for the Rover Havoc - Cost-2, Cost-4 и Cost-6:

• second constellation eliminates the need to choose between two variations of the resonance skill: use the normal one to recharge the resonance scale or the enhanced one to deal high damage. With an open constancy, you can use both skills sequentially, since the cooldown is reset when switching to the Dark Flash stance. The overall DPS in this case increases significantly.
• fourth constellation gives the character an advantage over other s in combination with Havok damage dealer, for example, Danjin. In addition, it increases the damage from the explosive ability of Dreamless Echo and the damage from personal skills.
• sixth constellation simplifies the build and changes the priority of characteristics in Echo Cost-4. With an open resonant circuit, you can select an artifact with the main parameter on crit. damage, and boost crit. chance to the optimal value through sub-stats.

Best builds for Rover Havok in WuVa

Rover Havok in Wuthering Waves is a classic damage dealer, whose skills depend on the attack power indicator, the damage bonus of the corresponding element and the balance of critical characteristics. As for additional parameters aimed at increasing a certain type of damage, much depends on the rotation and play style. If the hero plays the position of the main damage dealer and is on the field for a long time, it is worth investing in the bonuses of the basic attack [Basic Attack DMG] and the resonance skill [Resonance Skill DMG]. For quick rotation, it is more advisable to combine the enhancement of the resonance skill and resonant liberation [Resonance Liberation DMG] in the stats and ives of the weapon.

Before assembling the Rover Havok, you need to pay attention to compatibility with the Dreamless Echo. After using Rover's resonant release, the artifact's damage increases by 50%, and with the fourth resonant circuit open, it increases by another order of magnitude. Without the presence of this creature in the main Echo slot, the damage and usefulness of the character in the team drops significantly, so it is customary to build a build around Dreamless. Energy recovery in this case is collected based on how long the character is on the field and makes regular attacks.

Best weapon

Weapons for the Havok Rover should, in priority, contain attack power, crit. chance or crit. damage. Of secondary importance is the speed of energy recovery - swords with this characteristic in the ive effect are suitable, but not in the main stat. The rating of suitable weapons can be found in the table:

Best Echo

The best Echo sets for the Havoc Rover are a set for elemental damage and assemblies of the format (2+2), where the Havoc set is combined with a set for attack power or energy recovery. A place in the main slot is given to the Dreamless artifact, which always belongs to the Sun-sinking Eclipse set. Thus, the following combinations can be used in a character build:

Main characteristics of Echo in the Rover Havok assembly:

Cost-4	Crete. chance (up to 6 constants) or crit. damage
Cost-3	Bonus Havok Damage
Cost-3	Bonus Havok Damage
Cost-1	Attack power in %
Cost-1	Attack power in %

Optimal final indicators, as well as stats that you should pay attention to when leveling up:

• attack power: from 1 units. and higher;
• Crete. chance: 55-70%, with an open 6th resonant circuit - 35-50%;
• Crete. damage: 150-200%;
• energy recovery: up to 110% for the main damage dealer, about 130% for the secondary DPS;
• Havoc damage bonus: up to 82%;
• basic attack damage [Basic Attack DMG Bonus] or ultimate damage [Liberation DMG];
• Resonance Skill DMG damage.

Units for Rover Havok

Rover Havok in Woovering Waves can occupy the position of the main or secondary DPS, and therefore has sufficient freedom when selecting a squad. The hero combines well with other fighters of his element, and the synergy only increases with duplicates. Since the GG has good multipliers for the instant damage of skills and the gradual damage “from hand”, he will fit into any squad where the slot of a damage-dealing character is empty.

Best characters

Let's take a closer look at the characters with whom you can make teams for the Havoc Rover:

Top Teams

Examples of harmonious units with the above-mentioned heroes:

The quick switch group does not adhere to a specific rotation, but plays in dynamic gameplay, where heroes constantly enter the field to use an available skill. This style is most suitable for Encore or Calcharo with long animations of the most powerful blows. Skills during which it is advisable to switch to the second damage dealer:

• Encore and Rover resonance skills;
• Calciaro's heavy blows in a normal stance;
• heavy attack Encore with full resonance scale;
• skill Echo Dreamless.

Mono-Havok group from Danjin. Depending on the level of pumping and personal preferences, either Rover or Danjin can become the main damage dealer. A healer is recommended for a team with high health consumption, but Taoqi with a similar element may be suitable. General principles of rotation construction:

1. While the GG's skill is on cooldown, summon Danjin to the field and fill its resonance scale by alternating skills: basic strike ×3 => skill ×3.
2. Switch to Rover through the Danjin Outro skill to perform attacks with the elemental damage bonus.
3. Before switching characters, always use the Dreamless Echo skill. As soon as the creature deals the first blow, you can change the resonator.
4. Call s at critical moments to heal or apply a shield, with which it is not scary to return the damage dealer to the battle.

Classic build with a main damage dealer, sub-deader and . In this case, most of the time on the field belongs to the main DPS in the first slot, and Rover Havok plays in a quick rotation and helps with damage. To quickly clear the open world, you can use Mortefi, and in a difficult battle, the squad will be ed by Verina or an alternative healer. The team follows a certain rotation:

1. Apply the skill GG and Dreamless, bring the main damage dealer onto the field and begin accumulating energy for the resonance scale.
2. After 12 seconds, switch back to Rover and perform a full rotation.
3. Before using Jiyan's ultimate or Ling Yang's heavy attack, activate all buffs.

How to play Rover Havoc: rotation

Depending on the composition of the assembled team and the preferred time on the field, which is planned to be devoted to the character’s skills, Rover Havoc rotations in VUV are divided into explosive and long-term. In the first case, the hero uses all the skills with the highest scales, in the second, most of the time is spent performing basic attacks in the “Dark Flash” stance. It is not the order in which skills are used that changes, but the presence of hand strikes and the need to switch to other damage dealers during the battle.

The general rotation when playing as Havok GG is as follows:

1. In the sub-dead position, call the hero onto the field as abilities cool down to fill the resonance scale with the skill. The ideal moment in this case is a long animation of the impact of the second damage dealer, for example, a heavy attack. The GG, as the main damage dealer, fills the scale with hand strikes without switching.
2. With the second Resonance Circuit open, use the Blade Wing skill before entering the Dark Flash state to allow the skill to immediately recharge.
3. Use Devastation Heavy Strike to move into a Powered Stance and activate the Life Taker skill.
4. If the hero is in the main-DPS position, attack with basic attacks for as long as the Dark Flash stance lasts. In a quick rotation, you don’t have to spend time on this step.
5. Apply your ultimate and immediately use the Echo skill. The Dreamless attack will not stop after changing characters, so you can switch to another damage dealer, for example Danjin, equipped with a similar Echo, or restore some health as a healer.

Сonclusion

To sum it up, Rover Havok in WuWa is a strong, but at the same time completely free combat unit with flexible positioning and relatively simple gameplay. A character's relevance is greatly influenced by good DPS potential, high compatibility with the powerful Echo, and compatibility with various characters. Together with the epic heroine of her element, Danjin, she creates one of the best F2P squads for completing the Tower of Adversity, as well as the Tactical Hologram and regular combat activities.

The main advantage is that character constations can be obtained without investing in banners. However, you will need to complete the entire story campaign, including future updates, and thoroughly explore locations to find gold cubes. Due to this limitation, the hero is a weak competitor to both legendary and epic characters with unlocked resonance circuits. As for the Havok Rover build, the weapons include a variety of suitable epic swords, and the main Echo is found in a dungeon that is quickly cleared on the easiest difficulty level.
