Best Wuthering Waves Rover build and teams

We all need to know how to build Wuthering Waves Rover, with all the available attributes, so we’re here to help with our guide that breaks down the best weapons and echoes and lays out each Rover’s kit. You can also find each ascension material and where it’s located, too.

Be sure to grab the new Wuthering Waves codes for some extra astrite and see who to pull by looking at our Wuthering Waves tier list. There’s always something going on in each Wuthering Waves update, including a new Wuthering Waves banner to pull on.

Here’s how to build Wuthering Waves Rover.

How do I swap Rover’s attribute?

Changing which element – or attribute – your Rover uses is super simple. At the moment, you can choose to use the spectro or havoc element to fight with. To swap between them, follow these steps:

  • Open the resonator screen and select Rover
  • In the top left, under your chosen name, it shows the current element with a button next to it
  • Click the button
  • Choose which element you want your Rover to be on the screen
  • Click ‘Convert’

There you have it, a shiny new type of Rover to use.

What are the best echoes for Rover?

Here’s a quick run-down of which echoes you should equip on both elements of the Rover. We have a full Wuthering Waves echo guide here for further information.

For both havoc and spectro Rover, you should prioritize echoes with the following:

Main stats

  • Spectro/havoc damage bonus
  • Attack
  • Crit rate/damage
  • Energy regeneration

Sub-stats

  • Crit rate/crit damage
  • Attack
  • Energy regeneration
  • Basic attack damage bonus
  • Heavy attack damage bonus

Spectro Rover echoes

When picking echoes for spectro Rover, it’s best to aim for a five-piece set of Celestial Light, or two two-piece sets of Lingering Tunes and Celestial Light to activate the spectro damage and attack bonuses.

The best echo for the spectro Rover is the Mourning Aix as it deals plenty of spectro damage. A Rocksteady Guardian, Spectro Prism, and Zig Zag can all add more spectro damage through their innate skills if you equip them as the main echo.

Havoc Rover echoes

For the havoc Rover, aim for a five-piece set of the Sun Sinking Eclipse set for the full havoc damage bonus. Like above, you can mix two-piece sets of the Lingering Tunes attack boosting set, too.

The havoc Rover’s best echo is the Dreamless – when it’s equipped as your main echo, it can deal some heavy havoc damage. If you’re looking for an easily attainable echo that has a havoc damage-dealing skill, you can go for a Havoc Dreadmane, Roseshroom, or Tambourinist.

What are Rover’s ascension materials?
