Best weapons, echoes & teams

Skills

Basic Attack

Pero, Easy

Basic Attack

Perform up to 4 consecutive strikes dealing Havoc DMG.

Beyond Imagination

When Roccia has Beyond Imagination gauge, Basic Attacks become enhanced Beyond Imagination strikes: acrobatic multi-hit Havoc DMG attacks that consume Beyond Imagination per hit.

Heavy Attack

Consume Stamina to deliver a powerful blow, dealing Havoc DMG.

Mid-air Attack

Consume Stamina for aerial acrobatics and a Plunging Attack, dealing Havoc DMG.

Dodge Counter

Normal Attack after a successful Dodge to attack the target, dealing Havoc DMG.

Resonance Skill

Acrobatic Trick

Roccia performs a spectacular acrobatic trick, pulling nearby enemies to her position and dealing Havoc DMG. Successfully hitting enemies generates Beyond Imagination gauge. While Beyond Imagination is active, casting Resonance Skill again launches a follow-up stunt dealing additional Havoc DMG.

Resonance Liberation

Commedia Improvviso!

Roccia takes center stage in a blazing performance, dealing Havoc DMG to all nearby enemies. Grants Showstopper to all party members for 25s: increases all party members' ATK by an amount based on Roccia's own CRIT Rate (1 ATK per 0.5% CRIT Rate, up to a maximum of +200 ATK). The higher Roccia's CRIT Rate, the stronger the team ATK buff.

Intro Skill

Pero, Help

Leap onto the stage dealing Havoc DMG and immediately fill Roccia's Beyond Imagination gauge to maximum.

Outro Skill

Applause, Please!

Deliver a dramatic finishing blow dealing Havoc DMG. The incoming Resonator's Havoc DMG is Amplified by 20% for 30s. The incoming Resonator's Basic Attack DMG is Amplified by 25% for 30s.

Inherent Skills

Immersive Performance

When Roccia casts Commedia Improvviso!, all party members' CRIT Rate is increased by 8% for 15s. This buff stacks with the Showstopper ATK bonus.

Super Attractive Magic Box

Enemies pulled by Acrobatic Trick are briefly staggered and take 10% increased Havoc DMG for 8s. This effect can trigger once per target per Acrobatic Trick cast.

Tune Break

Active

Tune Break: Gauntlets

When the target's Off-Tune Level is full, the Resonator may cast Tune Break on the target.

Forte Circuit

Active

A Prop Master Prepares - Beyond Imagination

Beyond Imagination

Roccia holds up to 60 Beyond Imagination. Gained from Resonance Skill hits and Intro Skill. While active, Basic Attacks become acrobatic Beyond Imagination strikes that consume 5 gauge per hit and deal increased Havoc DMG.

Real Fantasy

At maximum Beyond Imagination, Roccia may cast Real Fantasy: a spectacular sequence dealing Havoc DMG equal to 200% of standard Basic Attack DMG and consuming all remaining gauge.

Passive

A Prop Master Prepares - Imagination

Imagination stacks (max 6) are gained each time a party member deals DMG while Showstopper from Commedia Improvviso! is active (1 stack per unique Resonator action, once per 2s). Each Imagination stack increases Roccia's ATK by 5% and Havoc DMG Bonus by 3% until Showstopper expires.

Roccia is a 5★ Havoc Gauntlets Sub-DPS in Wuthering Waves. The best build is Tragicomedy with the 5-piece Midnight Veil echo set, using Nightmare: Impermanence Heron as the main echo. The strongest team is Roccia with Camellya and Verina (havoc acrobatic burst). At Level 90, aim for 16500+ HP, 1150+ DEF, 1800-2400+ ATK, 70-80%+ CRIT Rate, 210-260%+ CRIT DMG, 115-125%+ Energy Regen and 40-70%+ Havoc DMG Bonus.

Best Weapons

by calculated performance

Tragicomedy

R1Best

Roccia's Signature gives her the best personal damage increases she can get thanks to a 48% Heavy DMG and 24.3% CRIT Rate bonus, making it her best in slot weapon.

100.0%

Solsworn Ciphers

Sigrika's Signature gives high ATK and CRIT DMG base stats and also amplifies Echo Skill DMG which represents more of Roccia's total damage than you'd expect, making it a decent alternative to her Signature, although her CRIT Rate requirements will prove harder to hit.

90.0%

Blazing Justice

Similarly to Solsworn Ciphers, ATK and CRIT DMG stat-stick with a little extra 8% DEF Ignore throughout Roccia's rotation to add to its value slightly.

88.2%

Verity's Handle

ATK, CRIT Rate and DMG Bonus stat-stick for Roccia, who does not benefit from this weapon's Liberation DMG-related effects.

88.1%

Pulsation Bracer

Best permanent banner option, grants Roccia some much-desired 24% CRIT Rate and a strong Base ATK to work with. Good stat-stick without any extra effects.

86.6%

Percentages show relative damage performance from calculations; some weapons bring un-quantifiable quality-of-life on top.

Best Echo Sets

5-Piece Sonata

Midnight Veil

Offers a 10% unconditional Havoc DMG% boost alongside adding a large Havoc Damage hit to the Outro of the wearer. Also grants the incoming resonator a Havoc DMG% boost when the wearer uses their Outro. The set is better than Moonlit Clouds if and only if the equipped character's Echoes have endgame investment (with 9 or 10 CRIT substats total) and the character has a 5-star weapon equipped. If both conditions aren't met, Moonlit Clouds is a better choice.

Roccia build summary

Tragicomedy is the weapon to build around. Without it, Solsworn Ciphers, Blazing Justice and Verity's Handle are the next picks, in that order. Aether Strike is the budget option.

On the Midnight Veil set, run CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG on the 4-cost, Havoc DMG on the 3-cost, Havoc DMG > ATK% on the 3-cost and ATK% on both 1-costs. Substats in priority order: Energy Regen (Until Satisfied) > CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG > ATK% > Heavy ATK DMG% > ATK.

The Resonance Chain nodes worth pulling for are S5 (+80% Heavy Attack DMG), S4 (+60% Basic Attack DMG) and S6 (+60% Basic Attack DMG). Level Forte Circuit → Res. Liberation → Basic Attack → Intro Skill → Res. Skill.

Ascension needs 46× Cleansing Conch above everything else, and the full build — ascension plus every forte node — costs 2,200,000 Shell Credits.
