BEST S0 Phrolova Guide & Build [Best Echoes, Weapons & Teams] - Wuthering Waves 2.5

Phrolova is a five‑star Havoc Resonator who wields a Rectifier. She is a member of the Fractsidus and plays the role of a conductor who walks the line between life and death. Her Ascension Stats shows that she has a high HP pool (base HP 10 775) and respectable attack and defence values (base ATK 438 and base DEF 1 137). Her Resonance skills summon Hecate and allow her to deal heavy Havoc damage both on the field and off‑field, making her a powerful main damage dealer.

Phrolova’s damage comes from Resonance Skills and Echo Skills, so she performs best with echoes that amplify crit rate, echo skill damage and Havoc damage. The sets below assume end‑game access; if you are still levelling, use whatever echoes have high crit sub‑stats until you can farm the recommended sets.

Phrolova’s optimal main echo is Nightmare: Hecate. It increases both Resonance Skill damage and Echo Skill damage—exactly what Phrolova relies on. Alternatives include Nightmare: Crownless (if running a 5‑pc Havoc Eclipse set) or Crownless (a free non‑Nightmare version that can be replaced later). Use whichever 5‑cost echo you have with the highest crit stats until you obtain Hecate.

Phrolova’s main echo stat priorities depend on the cost slot:

1. 4‑cost slot (main offensive piece) – Crit rate or crit damage. Use crit‑rate until you reach ~70 %, then swap to crit‑damage.
2. 3‑cost slot – Havoc DMG Bonus or crit damage. Havoc bonus scales all of her attacks; choose crit‑damage if Havoc bonus is unavailable.
3. 1‑cost slots – ATK %. These slots have small stat values, so ATK % is the most consistent option. Energy‑regen main stats are acceptable if you lack enough energy for frequent Resonance Liberation.

1. Crit rate / crit damage – build enough crit‑rate to reach roughly 70 % and then stack crit‑damage. Both stats directly improve Phrolova’s DPS.
2. Havoc DMG Bonus – increases all of her skills, including Hecate’s attacks.
3. ATK % – increases base attack; less important than crit and Havoc bonus but still valuable.
4. Energy regen – helpful for smoother rotations but not mandatory.
5. Avoid defensive sub‑stats (HP%, DEF%) because Phrolova’s kit does not scale with them.

Phrolova wants teammates who can cast Echo Skills or buff Havoc/Resonance Skill damage. Below are reliable compositions:

Echo Skill Havoc team (premium)

1. Phrolova (Main DPS) – uses Dream of the Lost ×3 + Havoc Eclipse ×2 and Nightmare: Hecate. She triggers Hecate’s enhanced attacks with her own skills and acts as the team’s primary damage dealer.
2. Cantarella (Sub‑DPS) – equipped with a full Midnight Veil set. Her Outro Skill amplifies Phrolova’s Havoc and Resonance Skill damage, and she can cast multiple Echo Skills to trigger Hecate.
3. Roccia (Sub‑DPS/support) – also runs Midnight Veil. Her Outro buffs Cantarella’s Havoc and basic‑attack damage. She builds Concerto quickly and provides extra Echo Skill casts.

Rotation summary: Start with Phrolova on‑field; build six Volatile Notes and cast Scarlet Coda to enter Resolving Chord state. Activate Resonance Liberation to summon Hecate, then switch to Roccia via Phrolova’s Outro to buff her. Use Roccia’s skills and Liberation, then switch to Cantarella to build Trance stacks and cast her Liberation. Finally, switch back to Phrolova via Cantarella’s Outro and repeat the cycle.

Hypercarry team

1. Phrolova (Main DPS) – same build as above.
2. Cantarella (Sub‑DPS) – same build as above.
3. Shorekeeper (Support) – uses Rejuvenating Glow. Her Outro provides healing, buffs and energy to the team. She can be replaced with Verina (healer/buffer) if you do not own Shorekeeper.

Rotation summary: Build Phrolova’s Volatile Notes, cast Scarlet Coda and Liberation, then switch to Shorekeeper via her Outro. After performing Shorekeeper’s combos and Stellarealm, switch to Cantarella, build Trance and Mirage, and finally return to Phrolova. This team plays similarly to the Echo Skill Havoc team but emphasises survivability.

Budget / alternative teams If you lack Cantarella or Shorekeeper, Phrolova can still function with other Havoc‑aligned Resonators and buffers:

1. Danjin – a sub‑DPS who amplifies Havoc damage and can replace Cantarella.
2. Zhezhi or Lumi – alternative sub‑DPS options who provide off‑field damage and buffs.
3. Baizhi – a healer who can replace Shorekeeper or Verina.

Because these teams provide fewer Echo Skill casts, Hecate’s enhanced attacks trigger less often. Phrolova will still deal respectable damage, but expect a noticeable DPS drop compared with her optimal teams.

1. Build Volatile Notes and Scarlet Coda: Use Phrolova’s Basic Attack and Resonance Skill to generate Volatile Notes. At six stacks, perform Scarlet Coda to enter Resolving Chord.
2. Use Resonance Liberation wisely: While in Resolving Chord, activate Liberation to summon Hecate and enter Maestro state. Hecate’s attacks will mimic your actions and continue off‑field, so try to extend this state by quickly switching to teammates who can cast Echo Skills.
3. Trigger Hecate’s enhanced attacks: Each time a teammate casts an Echo Skill, Hecate performs an enhanced attack. Coordinate your team rotation so Cantarella and Roccia (or Shorekeeper) cast Echo Skills while Phrolova is off‑field.
4. Maintain crit‑rate and avoid over‑capping: Dream of the Lost and Lethean Elegy add significant crit‑rate. Balance your gear so you do not exceed 100 % crit‑rate, and funnel excess stats into crit‑damage and Havoc bonuses.

Phrolova is a powerful Havoc Rectifier who excels at dealing burst damage through her Resonance Skills and echo‑powered Hecate. Her high base stats, strong kit and access to Dream of the Lost enable her to function as both an on‑field hypercarry and an off‑field damage dealer in Echo Skill teams. Focus on obtaining Nightmare: Hecate, farming Dream of the Lost and Havoc Eclipse pieces, and pairing her with Cantarella and another Havoc sub‑DPS or support to unleash her full potential.
