Rover (Spectro) Overview

Rarity: ★★★★★｜Element: Spectro｜Weapon: Sword

Rover (Spectro) is a free 5-star Spectro Sword character who can flexibly act as a Main DPS for new players or a Sub-DPS in endgame compositions. Their kit centers around building their Forte Gauge to unleash enhanced skills, dealing significant Spectro DMG through their Resonance Liberation, and applying the valuable Spectro Frazzle and Shimmer debuffs to enable specialized carries.

➤Kit Breakdown

Rover (Spectro)'s gameplay focuses on charging "Diminutive Sound" for their Forte Gauge to unlock enhanced abilities. Key mechanics include:

·Diminutive Sound: Generated via Intro Skill "Waveshock" (instantly fills 50 points), Basic Attacks, and Heavy Attack: Aftertune. The gauge can hold up to 100 points.

·Enhanced Resonance Skill: When the Forte Gauge exceeds 50, using the Resonance Skill casts "Resonating Spin," consuming 50 points. This enhanced skill applies 2 stacks of Spectro Frazzle and the Shimmer debuff (prevents Spectro Frazzle stacks from decreasing over time).

·Resonance Liberation: "Echoing Orchestra" deals a large burst of AoE Spectro DMG.

·Outro Skill: "Instant" creates a stasis field around the next character, slowing down time for 3 seconds, a valuable crowd control effect.

Rover (Spectro) Strengths & Weaknesses

Rover (Spectro) excels as an accessible and adaptable character but may be outshone by more specialized units as your roster expands.

Aspect	Evaluation
Strengths	·Easy to Use with Simple Combos ·Effectively transitions from a primary damage dealer in early game to a capable sub-DPS in late-game. ·Full Resonance Chain is unlocked naturally through story progression. ·Maintains relevance in teams built around the Spectro Frazzle mechanic.
Weaknesses	·All-Rounder that Falls Behind Specialized Units ·Utility is heavily tied to Spectro Frazzle, which may not be relevant in all teams.

 

Rover (Spectro) Skill Priority

Skill	Priority
Resonance Liberation	★★★★★
Forte Circuit	★★★★
Normal Attack	★★★★
Resonance Skill	★★★
Intro Skill	★★

Prioritize maxing out the Resonance Liberation first, as it is a significant source of Rover's burst damage. Next, focus on leveling the Normal Attack and Forte Circuit together, as they synergize closely to charge the Forte Gauge and enhance skill damage. The Resonance Skill offers utility and damage but is less critical, while the Intro Skill can be upgraded last as it primarily provides initial Forte Gauge and minor damage.

Each stack of Searing Feather gives 4% additional Resonance Skill DMG Bonus for up to 14 stacks. After reaching the max stacks, all stacks will be removed in 12s.

A top-tier offensive alternative that significantly boosts ATK and Resonance Skill DMG through its Searing Feather mechanic. Its high Crit DMG substat makes it a powerful choice for players seeking to maximize Rover's personal damage output, especially when frequently using their Enhanced Resonance Skill.

A decent situational choice for Rover. They can benefit from the weapon's ATK-stacking effect when damaging enemies with Negative Statuses, which aligns well with their role of applying Spectro Frazzle. However, its effectiveness is more dependent on the team's ability to maintain debuffs.

This configuration positions Rover as a premier support Sub-DPS, whose goal is to use their skills quickly, apply Spectro Frazzle, and then swap out to buff the main DPS. The high Energy Regen ensures their powerful Ultimate is ready as often as possible.

 

Recommended Endgame Stats

CRIT DMG	100% - 120%+

·S2: Rover's Spectro DMG Bonus is increased by 20%.

For players seeking enhanced performance, S2 and S5 provide straightforward and significant damage boosts to Spectro DMG and Liberation burst respectively.

S1 and S3 are solid quality-of-life upgrades that improve damage consistency and energy rotation. S4 offers niche healing but is generally non-essential. Given that all sequences are obtained for free through story progression, players can gradually unlock Rover's full potential without gacha investment.

·Spectro Frazzle Team:

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Zani	Rover (Spectro)	Shorekeeper
Eternal Radiance (5-pc)	Moonlit Clouds (5-pc)	Rejuvenating Glow (5-pc)

This is Rover (Spectro)'s premium endgame team. Zani is a Main DPS whose damage scales with Spectro Frazzle stacks. Rover (Spectro) acts as the primary enabler, applying and maintaining Spectro Frazzle and Shimmer. Shorekeeper provides a safe zone, team-wide buffs, and additional healing.

Sierra Gale (5-pc)	Moonlit Clouds (5-pc)	Rejuvenating Glow (5-pc)

Rover (Spectro) can flexibly slot into many teams as a Sub-DPS thanks to their universal Outro Skill crowd control. In this team, Rover provides a 3-second stasis window for Jiyan to safely set up his attacks, while also contributing with their own damage and potential buffs from Moonlit Clouds.
