Review
Please keep in mind Wuthering Waves is a skill-based game and each character has a different playstyle, difficulty level and even special tricks and combos. Wuthering Waves is also a team based game and it's only by combining both these factors to the highest level a character can reach optimal performance.
The best secondary for Hsin in Electro Flare teams currently;
Low costs in terms of weapon and Echo investment - can easily be built in little time;
They and their Sequences are free!
Buffs are too low for them to have any synergy with anybody other than Hsin who has specific mentions of Electro Rover in her kit. Their only real use case is to buff Electro Flare Hsin and that’s basically it;
Fairly long rotation for a Hybrid character;
Outro buff expires on Swap. Unprecedented for a Negative Status character.
Electro Rover is a 5-star Electro Sword Hybrid character who applies Electro Flare and buffs Negative Status characters. They follow a simple rotation that involves building their Forte up to the maximum to cast an enhanced attack before switching out.
Electro Rover applies a total of 15 Electro Flare stacks: 10 via their Forte Skill, 5 via their Ultimate at S2. They access this Forte Skill by charging up Electric Surge, a 120-point Forte gauge that is restored via their Basic Attacks and Skill.
Once this Forte gauge is full, they have 2 options: tap their Skill, which makes the team benefit from a 10% ATK buff for 20s while dealing some solid damage, and holding their Skill to enter a special state called Apex Resonance.
Unfortunately, while Apex Resonance is meant to be a sort of Main DPS state where Electro Rover uses all of their elements accessed earlier in the story in order to deal damage at significant field time costs, they not only forfeit the party-wide ATK buff (which doesn’t mesh well with their Outro), they also spend way too long dealing objectively mediocre damage. Judging by this, they are best relegated to only tapping the Forte Skill, rendering this part of their kit nothing more than a gimmick used for Main Story content (meaning their S6 is also useless in practical gameplay).
So as a Hybrid, what do they provide? On top of that 10% ATK buff and Electro Flare stacks mentioned earlier, their Outro also provides 25% all-type DMG Amplification to any character who inflicts a Negative Status, which is a buff that is lost on swap. Not only is this a minor buff, Electro Rover is our first Negative Status character whose Outro expires on swap, firmly cementing them as a Hybrid character.
And… that’s it. Since their Sequences are free, we’ll mention them - aside from the S2 that applies extra Electro Flare, they’re only small personal damage or Interruption Resistance increases. S5 and S6 are also useless in practice, since they’re related to their Hold Skill.
If it wasn’t obvious, Electro Rover is essentially a completely useless character in the current meta… outside of Hsin Electro Flare teams. Indeed, since Hsin’s kit mentions Electro Rover by name, when the two are used alongside each other, Hsin will benefit from extra buffs. In spite of Electro Rover’s low Electro Flare application relative to even a character like Buling, the fact that their existence makes Hsin benefit from extra Electro DMG Bonus is enough for them to be justified on her Electro Flare team. However, they may easily be outclassed in the future on the chance that they get replaced by a limited Electro Flare-applying Hybrid character. That being said, Electro Rover is overall the best current Hybrid for Electro Flare Hsin, so they are still easily justified to be built for that team if you have it.
In conclusion, Electro Rover is a good character for Electro Flare Hsin, and that’s basically all they do. Their account value is completely tied to Hsin being on your account, otherwise they are functionally useless. With that being said, they are worth your investment if you don’t make use of your Rover elsewhere, own Hsin, and want to play her in an Electro Flare team - do consider them in that case!

Build
The percentages show the performance of the weapon based on calculations, but in some cases, some weapons might provide additional QOL that can't be quantified and it would push that weapon ahead of others in the priority (and in those cases, we would put that weapon higher).
Rover (Electro) calculations were done using added buffs from the following teammates:
Hsin + Blooming Jadehaven + 
Heart of Sworn Vigil
Suisui + Firstlight's Herald + 
Song of Feathered Trace

Essentially the Electro version of Chromatic Foam. Provides Electro Rover with 20% Electro DMG Bonus and 25% Electro DMG Bonus to the incoming character they Outro into, making for their best blend of personal damage and buffing potential.
Below you can find Main Echo options:
Substats: Energy Regen (Until Satisfied) > CRIT Rate = CRIT DMG > ATK% > Skill DMG% = ATK > Liberation DMG%
All recommended endgame stats portray a fairly good quality endgame build as a goal to aim for on most characters. However, don’t treat this as an end-all-be-all, and more of a suggestion.
All stat recommendations are given at S0 for 5-stars, S6 for 4-stars, and free characters (unless specified otherwise), based on total stats in the in-game stat-screen with the character out of combat but also active in the party (and hence some buffs may or may not apply). Any other precision may be directly specified. If not specified, Energy Regen requirements are estimated in the character’s best team.
HP: 15000+
DEF: 1100+
ATK: 2100-2400+
CRIT Rate: 65-80%+
CRIT DMG: 210-260%+
Energy Regen: 117-120%+
Lower end was estimated in a Hsin/Suisui team, higher end was estimated in a Hsin/Buling team.
Electro DMG Bonus: 40-70%+

Gameplay and teams
Electro Rover wants to build their Electric Surge gauge as fast as possible in order to cast their Forte Skill, Overshock, dealing most of their personal damage and applying the majority of their Electro Flare, to then Outro and buff the next character. The quickest Electric Surge buildup rotation is performed as such:
Soulfrayer is free to be summoned at any point in their rotation.
Intro
Basic 1
Basic 2
Basic 3
Basic 4
Skill
Basic: Repel (Cancel animation endlag via Ultimate)
Ultimate
Skill: Overshock
Outro
Useful in teams where the Support character does not benefit from Introing twice, e.g in Hsin/Electro Rover/Buling. Significant but situational time-save.
Intro
Heavy: Riposte Strike (Swap)
Intro
Skill
Basic: Repel (Cancel animation endlag via Ultimate)
Ultimate
Skill: Overshock
Outro
The Heavy (Swap) is performed only to give Electro Rover some extra Concerto Energy needed for this rotation to finish, but it remains mandatory.
In Quickswap, Electro Rover is completely free to pre-build their Forte gauge during your other characters’ rotations through their Basic Attacks and Skill. Take note of this in order to speed up your team’s rotation significantly if you want to push them further!
Hsin - Electro Rover's best and only patner, Hsin is the DPS character they have direct synergy with, as Electro Rover's presence alone gives Hsin extra Electro DMG Bonus to benefit from. Their ability to apply Electro Flare and buff Electro DMG significantly via the Flash of Electric Reflection Echo set is quite appreciated too.Best Team

By way of more flexibility in quickswap, Chisa could prove stronger for more experienced players willing to take advantage of the mechanic.
