Best Artifacts	Noblesse Oblige x4
Artifact Main Stats	Sands: Energy Recharge or ATK%
	Goblet: Pyro DMG Bonus
	Circlet: CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG
Artifact Sub Stats	Energy Recharge, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, ATK%

This is a standard Support Build for Amber that focuses on her Pyro application and usage of 4-pc Noblesse Oblige. With this build, it is important to have Amber's Elemental Burst whenever it is off-cooldown to ensure smooth rotations.

DPS Builds for Amber

Melt DPS Amber

Best Weapon	The First Great Magic
Replacement Weapons	1. Aqua Simulacra 2. Ibis Piercer 3. Hamayumi
Best Artifacts	Shimenawa's Reminiscence x4 or Wanderer's Troupe x4
Artifact Main Stats	Sands: Elemental Mastery or ATK%
	Goblet: Pyro DMG Bonus
	Circlet: CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG
Artifact Sub Stats	Energy Recharge, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, EM, ATK%

This Amber build takes advantage of her Charged-Shot playstyle and Pyro application to function as a Melt DPS when paired with Cryo units.

It is worth noting that after C4, she can frontload her damage into her Baron Bunnies for frontloaded damage.

Amber's Talent Priority

The bulk of Amber's DMG comes from her Elemental Burst, so it should be maxed out first. Next would be her Elemental Skill, it may not be as powerful but it still provides some utility in keeping the enemies distracted.

For a DPS, we recommend maxing out her Normal Attacks as most of her damage will come from her Charged Shots, followed by Baron Bunny and its explosions.

Amber Best Teams

Amber Burst Support

Support	Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS
Amber	Hu Tao	Kazuha	Xingqiu
Support	Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Amber	Lyney	Kazuha	Bennett

Amber's supportive role focuses on her soaking up enemy aggro with Baron Bunny and applying Pyro for units that can take advantage of them, such as Kazuha in a Hu Tao team for the Viridescent Venerer shred, and Lyney.

Amber Melt / Burst DPS

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Amber	Rosaria	Layla	Bennett
Amber	Rosaria	Kazuha	Bennett

This team takes advantage of Cryo applications, as well as Bennett's buffs to enable Amber to deal a good amount of Melt DMG.

This can either be played via a prolonged Charged Shot playstyle, or by detonating two of her Baron Bunnies as a Frontloaded DPS.

Amber Best Constellations

Best Constellations Rating and Explanation

C4 for More Damage Potential

Getting Amber's C4 allows players to slot her in as a somewhat viable Burst DPS in Melt teams.

It is a great QoL and DPS increase constellation for Amber, but we do not recommend pulling specifically for this constellation willingly.

How to Use Amber

Taunt Enemies with Baron Bunny

Amber's Elemental Skill will deploy her Baron Bunny, which allows her to taunt and lure enemies in.

Once the Bunny explodes or is destroyed by enemy hits, it will deal AoE Pyro DMG and give a lot of Energy particles to funnel for her Elemental Burst.

Hit Weak Spots From a Distance

Amber's Charged Attack is great in the early game for aiming and shooting at weak spots. You can stun enemies like Ruin Guards by hitting their eye weakpoints!

Hitting Weakpoints will Always Crit

Hitting enemies' weak spot will always deal critical damage! If you want to build a Aimed Attack-focused Amber, you can dedicate your resources to Crit DMG instead.

Useful for Overworld Puzzles

Amber is the best when trying to solve puzzles such as lighting up torches and braziers, hitting floating balloons, clearing vines, or even exploring the icy mountains of Dragonspine with Amber's fiery arrows!

Character and Exploration Tier List

Passive Reduces Stamina Consumption

Amber's Passive Skill “Gliding Champion” reduces the stamina consumption of all party members by 20%. This allows for easy travel across mountainous areas such as Liyue and Dragonspine.

Amber's In-Game Information

Character Thoughts About Amber

Character	In-Game Thoughts
Barbara	I've seen Amber rushing out of Mondstadt on a mission countless times. Being an Outrider doesn't look easy.
Bennett	Oh, I know who you mean. The girl who's always charging around all over the place. She's always off adventuring in the wild, just like me... But if you ever see her near a cooking pot, you'll soon find a cloud of thick black smoke blowing in your direction, followed by the smell of burnt steak... Huh, maybe she was born unlucky too?
Collei	Amber is amazing. She's friendly and has tons of enthusiasm, plus she's really brave and always does the right thing... She's the person I admire most of all! She's like a cozy fire that makes everyone around her feel warm. There's no way I'd be where I am today without her... So much time has gone by — I bet she's even more cool and confident than ever these days! Who knows if I'll ever be able to match her.
Eula	Amber's someone who thinks for herself. On the day I first joined the Knights, she cleaned my dormitory and gave me a tour of the headquarters, and she's helped me with a myriad of other things in the time since. Now, everyone looks at me like the older sibling who needs the younger sibling to do everything for them! Hmph. For this, she must pay!
Jean	I must say that Amber's development has impressed me recently. I hope that one day, her deeds will become the words of a bard's tale.
Kaeya	That Outrider is a clever and righteous knight. Be careful not to step out of line in front of her.
Klee	Amber is the best! Baron Bunny is so fluffy and he even explodes! So. Cool.
Lisa	Amber was just a young girl when she joined the knights, an in the blink of an eye, she's turned into such a strong young lady. I'm curious to see what she'll be like a few years from now.
Noelle	I really look up to Amber. Not only is she an accomplished knight, but she's a kind person too. She taught me how to make a Baron Bunny. I keep it in my Person for luck, and it look quite alright, don't you think?
Sucrose	I'm curious to why her doll is called "Baron Bunny," it clearly has nothing to do with a rabbit at all. Oh, the headband makes it look like it has rabbit ears you say? Hmm... that's heavily reliant on the rabbit stereotype, is it not? Many rabbits' ears are floppy.

Amber's Thoughts About Others

Character	In-Game Thoughts
Albedo	About Albedo Albedo spends most of his time in his workshop, tinkering away with all of his awesome stuff. But, when you see him in person, you never can quite tell what he's thinking... Who knows what goes on in that mind of his...
Bennett	About Bennett Hmm? Bennett... I feel like I've heard that name before... Oh! Yes, he's that hot-blooded guy from the Adventurers' Guild, right! I tend to come across him way out in the wild from time to time, he seems to really love treasure hunting.
Eula	About Eula Eula is a great friend of mine! You just need to get used to her sense of humor and you'll get along fine! The only reason she's misunderstood by so many people is her family name. How can I get them to see her for who she really is?
Jean	About Jean Help: After the Grand Master left on his expedition, all the affairs of the Knights of Favonius, both big and small, have been left up to Jean. If only there was more I could do to help her... Care: Jean might still be working? We should invite her for coffee... Let's go.
Kaeya	About Kaeya Concerns: ...I'm feeling uneasy all of a sudden! Was that Kaeya with you earlier? Did he give you any trouble? Culprit: There's something weird-looking about the dandelions in the garden... Hmm, I bet Kaeya had something to do with this!
Klee	About Klee Klee? She can be a bit cheeky sometimes, but everyone in the Knights of Favonius likes her. Although... I really ought to keep a closer eye on her if I wanna keep her from getting put in confinement by Jean again.
Lisa	About Lisa Listening to Stories: When you have time, we should go see Lisa! Last time I saw her, she was telling me about a story involving a treasure in the Dragonspine area. But, we got cut off before she could finish. I can't wait to hear the rest of her story![ Admiration: If Lisa's not sleeping, she'll be reading! I don't know how she does it, I wouldn't be able to sit still for that long.
Mika	About Mika Oh! Mika's a veteran of Eula's team. When he first arrived, it was always ''Yes, Commander!'' every time he spoke to me - I guess it must have been because he saw how close I was with Eula. But then, even after I told him I was actually an Outrider, he still called me ''Ma'am''... It was so embarrassing. We have completely different responsibilities, after all. I definitely could never match his expertise in cartography.
Noelle	About Noelle You wanna know about Noelle? She's super resilient. Still, since she's younger than us we should still look out for her.
