Rover (Havoc) is the main character in Wuthering Waves, whose element change you can obtain once you complete the Grand Warstorm main quest. They are Sword users who excel at using echoes and dealing great bursts of damage.
In this guide, we'll show you the best way to build them so you can have the best damage possible for your team.

Unlike most main DPS in Wuthering Waves, Havoc Rover does not require their Ultimate to access the majority of their combos, instead relying on their Forte Gauge. Having said that, their Ultimate hits really hard.
Using the Rover's Intro, Resonance Skill, or normal Basic Attacks will award them a portion of the Forte, which can then be activated to enter the Dark Angel state. The Forte Gauge will start to tick down while you are in the state, but all of your skills will be improved.
You can also use your improved Resonance Skill to lengthen the duration of your Dark Angel state, allowing for even more powerful abilities.
In Wuthering Waves, after their Sequence 2 is unlocked, Havoc Rover gains a tremendous boost to one of their alternative playstyles.
This playstyle centers on using a carefully positioned skill to gather Resonance Energy and a portion of Havoc Rover's Forte Gauge during other characters' rotations in preparation for an explosive burst damage phase that is extremely short.
If everything is in order, you can switch to Rover, use your Resonance Skill, Heavy Attack to enter Dark Angel mode, perform your Resonance Liberation, immediately cast your Resonance Skill again, trigger your echo Dreamless, and fast switch cancel out.
This combo deals incredible burst damage while fully ignoring Rover's Forte Gauge duration mechanic in favor of explosive outcomes.
Now let's look at the best way to build Rover (Havoc) in Wuthering Waves.

Summary
Rover Havoc can be one of the strongest burst-damage characters in Wuthering Waves.
With Sequence 2 unlocked, you can use both playstyles or a combination of the two for top-tier performance, but you definitely need to obtain the "Dreamless" echo, which, unlike other echoes, is farmed in an instanced dungeon (Statue of the Crownless: Heart) unlocked after completing Chapter 6.
As the main character, you may expect to receive all of Rover's Sequences for free, all of which are beneficial, and several significantly boost Rover's damage.
Havoc Rover is a powerful, relatively easy-to-play character with many playstyles and team-building choices, and they will only get stronger in future updates, making them an excellent pick for beginner players.
