Wuthering Waves · 5★ Resonator
The Electro form that unites all of the Rover's resonances
Rover is the mysterious wanderer who can absorb all sounds and the protagonist of Wuthering Waves; the Electro form is the fourth resonance, unlocked in the main story of version 3.5. Wielding a Sword, this form builds Electric Surge through Basic Attacks, counterattacks from Parry Stance and Thunderclap, and once the gauge is full, the Resonance Skill turns into Overshock. A tap of Overshock gives the team 10% ATK, while holding it opens Apex Resonance, which links Spectro, Havoc and Aero attacks into a single chain. Its real value lies in the Outro: When the next character applies a negative effect, they gain 25% All DMG Amplification for 14 s.
Rover (Electro) is completely free. Completing the main story quest "Xuanling Sings, Storm Quelled" (Chapter 4, Act 2), added in version 3.5, unlocks the Electro resonance. You can switch between the Spectro, Havoc, Aero and Electro forms from the Resonator menu; the level is shared across all forms, while skill, weapon and Echo investment is separate for each form.
2-piece: Energy Regen + {0}.
5-piece: Upon using Outro Skill, increases the ATK of the next Resonator by 22.5% for 15s.
The best set for a sub DPS build: The next character's ATK increases by 22.5% after the Outro, which stacks with Rover's 25% All DMG Amplification buff, and the 2-piece's Energy Regen also makes the rotation smoother.
2-piece: Electro DMG + 10%.
5-piece: Electro DMG + 15% after releasing Heavy Attack or Resonance Skill. This effect stacks up to 2 times, each stack lasts 15s.
For playing Rover as a main DPS with long field time: It stacks Electro DMG as you use Heavy Attacks or Resonance Skills. In this build, Nightmare: Thundering Mephis is used as the main Echo.
Impermanence Heron
Its Echo Skill grants 10 Resonance Energy on hit; if the Outro is used within 15 s, the next character's damage increases by 12%, stacking with Rover's Outro buff.
Raise Energy Regen to 120% to keep the Liberation and Outro ready every rotation, then stack crit stats. The standard layout is 4-3-3-1-1 (Crit / two Electro DMG / two ATK%); you can also use ATK% instead of Electro DMG on the 3-costs.
Changli's signature weapon and the best for Rover (Electro): Its 48.6% Crit. DMG main stat, 12% ATK and the Searing Feather stacks that fill with Resonance Skills boost Overshock and Thrum of All Sounds damage.
The standard banner's 5★ Sword; with 24.3% Crit. Rate, Energy Regen and an ATK passive after Resonance Skills, it suits a sub DPS rotation very well.
Camellya's signature weapon; a strong stat stick with 24.3% Crit. Rate and 12% ATK, while its Basic Attack bonuses are only partly useful.
A 4★ Sword that stacks ATK as you deal damage and also grants Crit. Rate at 10 stacks; the passive fills up while you stay on the field and resets when you switch characters.
A 4★ Sword that stacks ATK when hitting enemies with negative effects; the Electro Flare applied by Overshock activates its passive easily.
An easy-to-get 4★ Sword that grants ATK for 15 s after the Intro Skill; a safe starting option with a 30.38% ATK main stat.

Performs a four-hit Electro combo; holding Basic Attack consumes Stamina to enter Parry Stance, during which Rover is immune to interruption and takes 60% less damage. Releasing the button triggers Riposte Strike; if you block an attack during it, you briefly halt the enemy and go into Riposte Strike: Crumble, followed by the three-stage Mid-air Attack - Havoc chain that deals Havoc damage.
Throws Cloudrift Bolt and dashes toward the target, dealing Electro damage. Pressing Basic Attack right after triggers Repel, which counts as Basic Attack damage; both fill Electric Surge.
When Electric Surge reaches 120, the Resonance Skill turns into Overshock. A tap consumes the gauge and gives the team 10% ATK for 20 s; holding it spends 60 Concerto Energy to enter Apex Resonance and chain Spectro, Havoc and Aero attacks with Thrum of All Sounds, which consumes 10% Thunder Rage per second. Every hit of these attacks triggers Electro Thunder Bane, which counts as Resonance Skill damage.
Unleashes Thunder Quietus to bring down a massive Electro strike on the target. In the sub DPS rotation, it is used as the last damage window before switching out with the Outro.
Deals Electro damage to the target on entry and fills Electric Surge. It is the rotation opener that shortens the road to Overshock.
The next character gains Electro Core for 20 s (or until they leave the field); when this character applies a negative effect, Electro Core is consumed and they gain 25% All DMG Amplification for 14 s, which ends when you switch characters. Using the Outro also ends Apex Resonance and resets Thunder Rage.
The Resonance Skill Overshock applies 10 stacks of Electro Flare to the targets it hits. This way, Rover also stacks Electro Flare on its own in teams built around negative effects.
If Overshock is used with a hold, Rover gains 20% Resonance Skill DMG Bonus for 20 s; the effect ends when you switch characters. In the main DPS build, it directly increases Apex Resonance damage.
When the target's Off-Tune level is full, Rover can perform the Sword-specific Tune Break attack. It is a mechanic shared by all Resonators that opens an extra damage window on the staggered enemy.
Most Sequences are damage multiplier increases; as a sub DPS, the Outro buff works in full even at S0. If you use Rover as a main DPS, S5 and S6 are the Sequences that boost Apex Resonance damage the most.
Interruption resistance increases for 0.5 s during Normal Attacks and Thrum of All Sounds.
After the Resonance Liberation Ultimate Tactics deals damage, it applies 5 stacks of Electro Flare to the targets hit.
Overshock's DMG multiplier increases by 20%.
The DMG multiplier of the Resonance Liberation Ultimate Tactics increases by 20%.
Crit. DMG increases by 20% while in Apex Resonance.
The DMG multipliers of Thrum of All Sounds and Thunder Bane increase by 20%; the biggest gain for the main DPS build.
Yangyang (Xuanling)
Rover (Electro)
Chisa
When Yangyang (Xuanling) applies Havoc Bane, she gains 25% All DMG Amplification from Rover's Outro; Chisa heals the team and, with her Outro, raises the cap on negative effects the target can carry. The strongest team for Rover (Electro).
Hiyuki applies Glacio Chafe on her own, so she triggers Rover's Outro buff easily; Chisa provides healing and negative effect support.

It is free: Completing the main quest "Xuanling Sings, Storm Quelled" (Chapter 4, Act 2), added in version 3.5, unlocks the Electro resonance. After that, you can switch between forms from the Resonator menu.
As a sub DPS, 5-piece Moonlit Clouds with Impermanence Heron as the main Echo is the best; both give the next character an extra buff after the Outro. If you play Rover as a main DPS, use 5-piece Void Thunder and Nightmare: Thundering Mephis.
There is no signature weapon; the best option is Changli's signature weapon Blazing Brilliance. Emerald of Genesis from the standard banner, and Somnoire Anchor, Fables of Wisdom and Commando of Conviction on the 4★ side, are good alternatives.
For a free character it is useful, but it is not top tier. Its real strength lies in its Outro, which gives DPS units that apply negative effects 25% All DMG Amplification; it makes a good sub DPS in these teams, but as a main DPS it falls behind the limited characters.
The best team is Yangyang (Xuanling) + Rover (Electro) + Chisa. It works the same way with DPS units that apply negative effects on their own, such as Hiyuki or Aemeath.
For Ascension it needs Mysterious Code, Pecok Flower and Whisperin Cores. Its skills use Whisperin Cores, the Sword-specific Wing Polarizer series and the weekly material We Who Question from Denia.
