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.

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.

Solsworn Ciphers
R1Sigrika'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.

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.

Moonlit Clouds
Offers a 10% unconditional Energy Regen% boost taking some pressure off your gear when aiming at ER breakpoints. Also upon using Outro, grants the next character switching in a 22.5% ATK boost, amplifying any of your main damage dealers burst windows.

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.
