hello everyone B natural here and welcome back to another woa video today we'll be covering our star protagonist Rover and more specifically his Havoc form Rover does an insane amount of damage and might be the strongest free character to ever grace scotcha gaming seriously he's so strong I had to use level one weapons sometimes to get footage because bosses would die too quickly Havoc Rover's form is unlocked after completion of the grand War storm Main story quest which starts at Union level 21 once unlocked you can swap between his spectro and Havoc form in the residence menu by clicking the swap button next to his element on the attribute screen although he may be a free unit accessible by everyone his damage shouldn't be underestimated his output is really high and his burst might be the strongest available in the game at the moment Havoc MC is primarily played as a main DPS although you can build them to be a bursty sub DPS as well some pros are that he deals great damage has quick animations is easy to use and most importantly him and his resident chains are free at the moment you can acquire two for the Havoc form one for completing the quest where you unlock him and another as the reward for sonen casket delivery level eight his cons are that his ulti takes a lot of energy to charge and that his kit can be hard to execute while you're being hit stunned speaking of which let's talk about his kit now his Forte circuit AKA his mechanic is Umbra Eclipse Havoc MC has an umbra gauge which you fill by dealing damage with your basic attacks skill enhanced skill or intro once the gauge is full you can use your heavy attack to enter your dark surge or transformed state in this state your basic attacks and skills are replaced with enhanced versions that deal more damage in addition your heavy attack combo gains an additional part called Flack blade which deals tons of damage his basic attack is a five-part combo that ends with a downward slam the heavy attack is a diagonal slash with his wing and can be initiated from any part of his basic attack combo pressing basic attack after your heavy will allow you to go directly into the fourth part of your attack combo your mid attack is a standard vertical plunge the damage is pretty low so it's mainly used to get back on the ground quickly the Dodge counter is a standard single hit counter and grants a small amount of umra gauge his skill is a two hit attack that grants a large amount of Umbra both hits will grant the full amount of gauge but you can only get it once per skill use Rover's resonance Liberation or ultimate is a high damage single hit nuke with respectable amount of AOE his ulti does not change in his dark surge form so it's ideally used in a standard mode to preserve gauge time for your other abilities his outro skill places an AOE on the ground that deals damage over time and his intro skill is a single hit that generates a decent amount of Umbra as far as Forte leveling priority goes I recommend going with the Forte circuit first then resident skill followed by Resident ceration and your basic attack make sure you take all of those to level three first before overly investing in one since the material requirements are fairly low early on he has some great resonance sequences although we can only get up to S2 for now notable ones are his S2 which makes a skill cool down reset when entering dark surge S4 which lowers enemy Havoc resistance when transforming or using ult and his S6 which gives him an impressive 25% crit chance while transformed next let's move on to his gameplay and rotations but before we do we have to cover his main for cost Echo dreamless dreamless is one of the two for cost options for the sunsing eclipse set and Deals a staggering 50% more damage when used after MC's ulti so it's our go-to pick in the past this damage buff applied to other characters as well and you could chain two to three dreamless in a row but unfortunately you can't do that anymore to recap before moving on his Umbra gauge is filled when you deal damage with any of his basic attacks heavy attack midair attacks Dodge counters and skills the most common way to generate gauge will be to swap in using intro then left Mouse button to slam use your skill then use a heavy attack into basic four + 5 it's great to min max and do exactly what you need but combat is very Dynamic so you'll frequently find yourself needing to adjust and unable to follow a rotation just keep in mind that your plan is to swap in with intro use your skill and fill your gauge with one to2 basic attack or heavy attack combos once your gauge is full hold basic attack to cast Devastation and transform then use basic attack combo skill basic attack combo two more times and end with ult if you have it then finish by animation cancelling your dreamless Echo the input should look something like this you can swap the placement of the three basic attack combos but make sure to skill somewhere in the middle since the enhanced skill will give you more gauge to stay transformed longer additionally it can be hard to tell exactly where you are in your combo during the chaos of combat so keep an eye out for the horizontal spin animation which will let you know that you've just performed the final attack in a basic attack chain if you feel like you won't be able to get three basic attack combos off feel free to go for two heavy attack combos instead Flack blade does a ton of damage so if you don't have time for a full 3x rotation fitting in a heavy attack combo or two might knit you some extra damage as for animation cancelling your Echo it just means to swap to another character after starting the echo's animation since it'll continue even when the casting character is not on the field this is unique to certain characters and Echoes and dreamless is one of the few that get to benefit from this team comp options are pretty flexible but his All-Star teammate is definitely dunon with whom he can swap roles as a main or sub DPS at any time main DPS dungeon used to be more popular but with the Nerf to the enhanced streamless damage on other characters more people have been choosing to use Rover as the main character that being said you can still absolutely play either comp those looking for a more defensive setup can take Jin as well though the combat pacing will be significantly slower than the other two options the most popular support for Rover in any comp is Vina for her flexible all-encompassing damage buff but baa also works just as well for a four-star alternative for Echo you'll want to take dreamless and use the Suns sinking Eclipse set as mentioned previously the Synergy with Rover and the ability to swap off mid animation makes it stronger than its alternative crownless make sure you go for a crit rate main stat unless you already have a crit rate weapon in which case you could consider crit damage for three costs take Havoc damage percentage as the main stat line and one cause should focus on attack percentage the primary focus for substats is crit rate and damage but basic attack skill damage resonance Liberation damage and energy regen are all worth considering for the other three slots as far as Weapons go the current five-star standard weapon Emerald of Genesis is the best in slot the energy region is appreciated and with S2 Havoc MC we can easily get the double stack on the attack damage buff most importantly it comes with crit rate as a primary allowing us to take even more crit damage for fourstar Alternatives the Commando of conviction is a solid weapon for almost any sword user the active lasts for as long as we could need and being a fourstar it comes with a decent amount of stats as well looming loss is also a decent alternative and the conditional buff is also remedied largely by our S2 if you don't have access to any of the previous three weapons sword number 18 will perform better than any three star and is both craftable World boss materials and tradeable for ore from the merchant at the Tiger's Mall mine after you complete the quest line there and there you have it Havoc MC is surprisingly strong for a free unit and can definitely stand toe-to-toe with other s tier damage dealers his sustained damage is good and his burst damage is the strongest in the game at the moment if you found this video helpful don't forget to subscribe so you can see more of my content and let me know what you'd like to see next down in the comments I hope you're having fun
