Wuthering Waves Phrolova Build Guide
Havoc 
Rectifier 
Phrolova, a Fractsidus Overseer walking the fine line between life and death, an uncanny, deadly conductor.<br/>A silent wave of her baton is enough to attune the very frequencies of being and conduct the symphonies of "souls." The music of hers can sculpt a better world or, just as easily, summon a legion to wreak havoc.

Best Echo Sets for Phrolova
Optimal set providing unconditional Crit Rate and Echo Skill DMG bonuses from Dream of the Lost combined with Havoc DMG bonus from Havoc Eclipse 2-piece. Fits Phrolova's kit perfectly.
Second best set, Dream of the Lost's bonuses combined with Lingering Tunes’ ATK increase. Less ideal as Havoc DMG bonus is more valuable.
Early game option but inferior to Dream of the Lost 3-piece. Replace as soon as advanced content is accessible.
Phrolova's Best Primary Echo
Nightmare: Hecate
Best-in-slot echo for Phrolova, increases Resonance Skill DMG and Echo Skill DMG, the core stats for her damage output.
Nightmare: Crownless
Good alternative when using a 5-piece Havoc Eclipse set; best option within that set but generally suboptimal compared to Nightmare: Hecate.
Crownless
Non-Nightmare option available early game before reaching advanced content; replace with Nightmare versions when possible.

Best Teams for Phrolova
Phrolova Echo Skill DMG Team
Team goal: maximize Echo Skill DMG to power Hecate's off-field attacks and chain multiple Echo Skill casts., Qiuyuan provides large Crit DMG and Echo Skill DMG buffs (Liberation / Forte / Outro) — primary buffer for this comp., Cantarella casts multiple Echo Skills on-field to trigger Hecate frequently and contributes coordinated attacks and Havoc/Resonance amplifications via Outro., Rotation — overview:, 1) Start Phrolova on-field and build Volatile Notes with Basic Attack + Resonance Skill combos., 2) At 6 Volatile Notes, use Scarlet Coda to enter Resolving Chord, then Liberation to summon Hecate., 3) Switch to Qiuyuan with Phrolova Outro to buff his Heavy Attack DMG. Fill Forte (two Basic Attacks), then cast Echo Skill and Liberation., 4) Use Qiuyuan's Forte-enhanced Heavy Attack string (hold Heavy Attack to consume stacks), then cast Resonance Skill and switch to Cantarella via Outro., 5) On Cantarella, immediately cast Resonance Skill and Liberation to fill Trance; enter Mirage and perform combos to Stagnate and heal. Use her Outro to buff Phrolova's Havoc/Resonance DMG and switch back to Phrolova., 6) Repeat the cycle to maximize Hecate off-field attacks — prioritize Echo Skill casts (Phrolova/Cantarella/Qiuyuan) to trigger Hecate frequently.
Echo Skill Havoc Team
Team goal: lean into Havoc DMG by chaining Echo Skills across members and amplifying Havoc bonuses to each other via Outros., Role interactions: Roccia Outro buffs Cantarella's Havoc & Basic Attack DMG; Cantarella Outro buffs Phrolova's Havoc & Resonance DMG; Phrolova Outro buffs Roccia's Havoc & Heavy Attack DMG., You may use Midnight Veil as a 2-piece on Phrolova if preferred (it grants Havoc DMG Bonus)., Rotation — overview:, 1) Start Phrolova, build 6 Volatile Notes and use Scarlet Coda + Liberation to summon Hecate., 2) During Maestro, switch to Roccia with Phrolova Outro to buff Roccia's Havoc/Heavy Attack DMG. Perform Roccia rotations to maximize Imagination/Concerto and use her Liberation for a party ATK buff., 3) Switch to Cantarella, immediately cast Resonance Skill + Liberation to fill Trance; enter Mirage and perform combos to Stagnate. Use her Outro to buff Phrolova., 4) Switch back to Phrolova and repeat steps — prioritize Echo Skill casts from Roccia and Cantarella to empower Hecate's attacks.
Phrolova Hypercarry Team
Team goal: make Phrolova the primary damage carry with dedicated support and a sub-DPS that either triggers Echo Skills or buffs Havoc/Resonance DMG., Shorekeeper is preferred for its healing and team buffs; Cantarella remains the best sub-DPS for frequent Echo Skill casts and buffing Phrolova., Rotation — overview:, 1) Start Phrolova and build Volatile Notes (Basic Attack + Resonance Skill). At 6 Notes, Scarlet Coda -> Resolving Chord, then Liberation to summon Hecate., 2) Switch to Shorekeeper when Outro is available and perform her rotations to fill Concerto quickly; activate Stellarealm then switch to Cantarella when Intro is ready., 3) On Cantarella, fill Trance with Resonance Skill + Liberation, enter Mirage and do combos to suspend enemies/heal. Use her Outro to buff Phrolova and switch back to Phrolova., 4) Repeat steps to maintain Hecate and maximize Phrolova's amplified Heavy/Havoc/Resonance DMG.
Phrolova Double DPS Team
Team goal: two-DPS setup where Phrolova amplifies Heavy Attack DMG for the main DPS (Augusta) while still providing off-field Hecate value., Shorekeeper supplies team-wide buffs and Stellarealm detonation; Augusta benefits strongly from Phrolova's Heavy Attack amplification., Rotation — overview:, 1) Start Shorekeeper and build Resonance/Concerto; activate Stellarealm then switch to Phrolova., 2) On Phrolova, build 6 Volatile Notes and use Scarlet Coda + Liberation to summon Hecate., 3) Switch to Augusta via Phrolova Outro; use Prowess-enhanced Heavy Attacks, Echo Skill, Resonance Skill, and Liberation to ramp her Ascendancy and deal heavy damage., 4) Use Augusta's Forte/Plunge/Liberation windows to maximize output, then switch back to Shorekeeper to detonate Stellarealm and repeat.
Alternative Phrolova Teams
Flexible options: Phrolova can be paired with various sub-DPS that buff Resonance Skill or Havoc DMG or provide synergy with off-field play., These alternative comps are usable because Phrolova still deals strong off-field damage, but they typically trigger Hecate's enhanced attacks fewer times., Note: Expect reduced Hecate triggers (often only twice) in many alternative comps, causing a DPS loss compared to multi-Echo-focused teams.
