Sub DPS/ Support |
Roccia’s main gameplay revolves around her ability to accumulate Imaginary Points, which allows her to become air-borne and deal Havoc damage to enemies with her attacks and fill up her Concerto Gauge. When her gauge is filled, Roccia can switch with another Resonator, granting the incoming Resonator a massive buff to the Havoc damage they deal and help them gather enemies by launching a surprise attack at the enemy, pulling them together for an easy attack. Check Roccia’s kit if you want to know more details about her.
Skill Level Priorities
Roccia’s skill level priorities are heavily dependent on what role the players want her to play in the team, with her Outro Skill already been maxed, so her Havoc boosting ability is already good even when not leveled. The majority of Roccia’s skill levels only affects her own damage and does not influence her support capability so if you are intending to build her as a support, you can level her skills whenever.
In terms of leveling priority, players should focus on leveling up Roccia’s Resonance Skill and Forte Circuit, as they contribute the most to Roccia’s gameplay loop and her overall damage output.
Overall, the skill level priorities should be Resonance Skill = Forte Gauge > Resonance Liberation = Normal Attacks > Intro Skill.
Bonus Stats & Inherit Skills
Roccia’s Bonus Stats and Inherit Skills are very important to her overall skill kit both in terms of damage and support capabilities, so players should prioritize unlocking all of her bonus stats and Inherit Skills nodes.
- Roccia’s first Inherit Skill grants her a sizable Attack boost when she’s using her Skill or Heavy Attack, which can help her damage output a lot.
- Roccia’s second Inherit Skill further enhances her support ability by changing the utility of the incoming Resonator after she uses her Outro Skill into a special crowd control ability that can draw enemies closer together and deal Havoc damage to them.
Both of these abilities aid Roccia massively in both her utility and offensive capabilities, so players should get them as soon as possible.
Best Weapons For Roccia
Roccia’s Best In Slot Weapon is of course her signature Gauntlets that will be rated up together with her banner during the second half of Wuthering Waves’ version 2.0 update - Tragicomedy.

Best Echoes Set & Stats For Roccia
Echoes Set
As Roccia is a Havoc Sub DPS/ Support character, there are 2 ways players can build her - either as a full on Havoc DPS character to help with the damage output of others in the team or as a full blown support, focuses on helping with others and occasionally dealing damage to enemies to help.
- To fulfill both roles in a single Echo Set build, players should aim for the Midnight Veil Echo Set Effect for Roccia, which allows Roccia to deal massive amounts of Havoc damage when using her Outro Skill and grants the next ally a massive buff:
Midnight Veil
- 2-pc: Havoc DMG + 10%
- 5-pc: When Outro Skill is triggered, deal additional 480% Havoc DMG to surrounding enemies, considered Outro Skill DMG, and grant the incoming Resonator 15% Havoc DMG Bonus for 15s.
Main Echoes & Stats Recommendations
For the main 4 Cost Echo that Roccia can turn into, players should aim for the Nightmare: Impermanence Heron, whose’ ability allows Roccia deal a lot of Havoc damage in a short amount of time and grants herself a Havoc and Heavy Damage Attack Boost, helping to boost her damage output.
Nightmare: Impermanence Heron
CD: 25s
Effect: Transform into Nightmare: Impermanence Heron and deliver up to 10 consecutive strikes to surrounding enemies, each dealing 27% Havoc DMG. The Resonator with this Echo equipped in their main slot gains 12.00% Havoc DMG Bonus and 12.00% Heavy Attack DMG Bonus.
For Echo Main Stats, you should aim for the following stats:
- 4 Cost: Crit Damage/Crit rate%
- 3 Cost: Havoc Damage%/ Energy Regeneration%
- 1 Cost: Atk%
For Sub Stats, you should aim for these sub stats:
Crit Rate% = Crit Damage% = Heavy Attack Damage% > Attack% = Energy Regeneration% > Other Stats.
Important Notes:
- Players should aim for a 1/2 Crit Ratio for Roccia, if there’s enough Crit Rate, invest more on Crit Damage and vice versa.
- If players want to make a more support oriented Roccia, then a 3-Cost Energy Regeneration% Main Stat Echo is recommended.
- If players want to make a more damage oriented Roccia, then a 3-Cost Havoc Damage% Main Stat Echo is recommended.
Roccia Best Recommended Teams
With Roccia being a Havoc elemental Sub DPS and Support character, a team for Roccia will consist of the following:
- Main Havoc Damage DPS: Camellya, Havoc Rover
- Sub DPS/ Support: Roccia
- Sustain: Verina, Scorekeeper, Taoqi
- Main DPS: The main DPS for a Roccia oriented team needs to be a good Havoc Damage DPS character capable of taking full advantage of Roccia’s Havoc buffs. Therefore, the prime candidate for this position is Camellya as she is the best Havoc DPS character so far. Alternatively, Havoc Rover will also fit in this role.
- Sub DPS/ Support: Roccia will fill this role as her utility and abilities allow her to be a bridge between allies by both dealing Havoc damage to enemies and buffing Havoc damage for allies.
- Sustain: For the Sustain slot, players can use the usual good sustain characters for any team like Verina or Shorekeeper to help keep the team alive. However, an interesting consideration for this position is Taoqi as she is a Havoc Sustain character that can take full advantage of Roccia’s buffs as well, helping her deal more damage should players need.
Conclusion
An Entertainer of unparalleled abilities to bring joy and happiness to people, Roccia promises to be a very powerful addition to the Havoc Damage team lineup with her powerful Heavy Damage Attacks and amazing Havoc Damage buffs for the team, making her a must-get for any players intending to main the Havoc element as their strongest team for the upcoming Wuthering Waves Update Patches.
