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.

Here's everything in our Wuthering Waves Rover guide:

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's the best weapon for Rover?

Rover, no matter the element, uses a sword weapon, and you don't really need to change it when swapping element types.

Bloodpact's Pledge Healing increases Rover's resonance skill damage by 10% for six seconds. When Rover (aero) casts resonance skill, their aero damage dealt by nearby resonators on the field is amplified by 10% for 30 seconds
Red Spring Increases Rover's attack by 12%. When dealing basic attack damage, Rover gains a 10% basic attack damage bonus for 14 seconds. This effect triggers once a second, stacking up to three times. When Rover consumes concerto energy, they gain a 40% basic damage bonus for 10 seconds. This can also trigger once a second and ends when Rover switches off the field
Blazing Brilliance Rover's attack increases by 12%. They gain one stack of Searing Feather when dealing damage, which can trigger once every 0.5 seconds, and gain five stacks of the same effect upon using Rover's resonance skill. Each stack of Searing Feather gives a 4% additional resonance skill damage bonus, which can stack 14 times. All stacks are removed within 12 seconds after reaching max stacks
Emerald of Genesis Increases energy regeneration by 12.8%. When using Rover's resonance skill, it increases ATK by 6%, stacking up to two times. This effect lasts for ten seconds
Lunar Cutter Rover gains six stacks of Oath upon entering the battlefield. Each stack increases their attack by 2%, up to six stacks. This effect can trigger one time every 12 seconds. Oath reduces by one stack every two seconds. Rover gains another six stacks of Oath upon defeating an enemy

What are the best Rover team comps in Wuthering Waves?

Shorekeeper is the best teammate for Rover as she gives them an energy regeneration boost. Plus, she's a healer and overall buffer, so you can't go wrong. If you don't have her, then Verina or Baizhi will also fill the healer role.

The spectro and havoc Rover will be your DPS, so it's best to pair them with a support or sub-DPS that can add to their damage - this could be Danjin, Sanhua, or Yangyang.

You can usually find Holly roaming through Teyvat or Hyrule. She's big on Nintendo, Hoyoverse, and indie games. Animal Crossing is her ride-or-die. She plays too many farming games. She got started doing freelance lists for GameRant and Roblox pages for VG247, and producing Genshin Impact builds for Gfinity. Her biggest achievement to date is getting her Pikmin 4 score on adverts across the UK. She can, and will, lay some hot takes out if you let her but sticks to correct opinions like arguing what the best wireless chargers and stylus phones are, and which gacha game is the best (it’s Genshin. Or Wuthering Waves. Or Honkai Star Rail). She also owns a really cute lizard.
