In the ever-evolving landscape of Wuthering Waves, few characters have made as significant an impact as Roccia. Since her release from the Rinascita region, this five-star Havoc unit with her devastating Gauntlets has captured the attention of players worldwide. As we move through 2025, Roccia remains a formidable presence in the meta, with her unique playstyle and support capabilities making her a valuable addition to any roster.

The Weapon Dilemma

The weapon situation in Wuthering Waves has always been a point of contention among players. Like many characters, Roccia performs optimally with her signature weapon, but not everyone has access to these premium options. Let's explore her weapon hierarchy as it stands in 2025:

Weapon	Advantages
Tragicomedy	Her signature weapon provides crucial Crit Rate, ATK bonuses, and specialized passives that synergize perfectly with her kit
Marcato	This four-star option grants Energy Regeneration and Concerto Energy, enabling quicker team rotations
Stonard	Battle Pass weapon that offers valuable Crit Rate, though its passive isn't perfectly aligned with her needs
Celestial Spiral	A decent alternative that provides balanced stats
Gauntlets Of Night	The best three-star option for players still building their arsenal

Echo Optimization: The Path to Power

What truly separates casual Roccia players from masters is their Echo configuration. The right Echo setup can dramatically increase her effectiveness both as a damage dealer and support unit.

Echo Sets Worth Your Investment

Set	Benefits
Midnight Veil	Premier choice for Roccia, significantly boosting her Havoc damage output
Moonlit Clouds	Excellent alternative offering general buffs, particularly useful in certain team compositions

Primary Echo Selection

The primary Echo choice is perhaps the most crucial decision you'll make when building Roccia:

Echo Name	Set Name	Advantage
Nightmare: Impermanence Heron	Midnight Veil	Enhances both Havoc and Heavy Attack damage, creating a multiplicative effect with her kit
Impermanence Heron	Moonlit Clouds	Generates additional energy on enemy hits, improving her rotation speed

For Echo stats, prioritize:

• 4-Cost: Crit Rate

• 3-Cost: Havoc DMG Bonus > Energy Regen

• 1-Cost: ATK Percent

Team Synergies in the Current Meta

As we navigate through 2025, the Wuthering Waves roster has expanded, but Roccia's ideal teammates remain somewhat specialized. Her support utility shines in specific compositions:

Team	Synergy
Roccia, Camellya, Shorekeeper	The dream team: Camellya's Havoc and Basic Attack damage benefits enormously from Roccia's buffs, while Shorekeeper provides additional support
Havoc Rover/Danjin, Roccia, Baizhi	More accessible composition where Baizhi offers F2P-friendly support, though Heavy Damage dealers don't fully capitalize on Roccia's buffs

But what makes these teams truly effective? Isn't it fascinating how Roccia's seemingly straightforward kit creates such specific team requirements? The answer lies in her unique buff profile and energy mechanics.

Mastering Roccia's Rotation

Unlike some of the more complex characters in Wuthering Waves, Roccia's kit is refreshingly straightforward:

1. Her skill groups enemies while providing 100 Imagination (one Forte bar)

2. She can gain Imagination from her Intro Skill or by charging Heavy Attacks

3. When triggering her Skill or landing a Heavy Attack, she enters a special state enabling buffed plunge attacks

4. Her Ultimate increases ATK for all resonators in your party

The optimal rotation minimizes her field time: Intro Skill → Basic Attack → Skill → three plunge attacks → Liberation → switch out with outro skill.

Trace Priority and Investment

For players looking to maximize Roccia's potential, focus on upgrading:

1. Forte Circuit

2. Skill

3. Liberation

4. Intro Skill

People Also Ask

Is Roccia worth pulling in 2025?

With the expanded roster and meta shifts, Roccia remains valuable for her unique support capabilities and Havoc synergies. However, her specialized nature means she's most effective in specific team compositions.

Can Roccia function as a main DPS?

While her kit is designed primarily for support, with significant investment in her traces and optimal weapon selection, she can serve as a sub-DPS. However, her greatest value comes from empowering other characters rather than taking center stage herself.

How does Roccia compare to newer Havoc supports?

Despite newer releases, Roccia maintains a unique niche with her ATK buffs and grouping capabilities. Her ability to condense her rotation into a short field time remains unmatched by many newer alternatives.

As Wuthering Waves continues to evolve, Roccia stands as a testament to the game's improved character design philosophy. Her straightforward yet effective kit offers both accessibility for newcomers and depth for veterans. Whether you're grouping enemies for devastating follow-ups or empowering your team with her Ultimate, mastering Roccia's rhythmic combat style provides a uniquely satisfying experience in the world of Wuthering Waves.

But perhaps the most intriguing question remains: in a game where character designs and mechanics grow increasingly complex, does Roccia's elegant simplicity represent the perfect balance between accessibility and depth? Only time—and your personal playstyle—can answer that question definitively.
