Amber is a playable 4-star Pyro character in Genshin Impact. The only remaining Outrider of the Knights of Favonius, she is always ready to help those in need regardless of how challenging it might be. 

This guide will discuss Amber‘s talents, constellations, recommended roles, best weapons, artifact sets, and more! So, if you want to add this character to your team, read on.

While you’re here, you might also want to check out other Pyro characters in our complete list of Pyro characters.

Amber’s Talents and Priority

Amber‘s Elemental Skill taunts enemies, making it a great crowd control option. On the other hand, her Burst only requires 40 energy. This means that with the right weapons and artifacts we will discuss later, she can constantly use her Burst and apply Pyro for various Elemental Reactions to take place.

Constellations and Effects

Amber‘s best Constellations are C2 and C6. If you’re new to the game, Constellations are acquired when you get another character copy.

With C2 (Bunny Triggered), you no longer have to wait for Baron Bunny to explode as you can manually detonate him. By manually detonating Baron Bunny, you also get additional DMG.

However, C6 (Wildfire) is undeniably the best one as it unlocks Amber‘s capability as a team player. With C6, you can increase all party members’ Movement SPD and ATK every time you use her Burst!

For more details about her Constellations, be sure to check out the table below:

Recommended Roles and Teams for Amber

Amber has a low Burst energy cost and cool down, which is pretty good. Therefore, maximizing her potential revolves around utilizing her Burst. With this, she can be used as a Burst Support or Burst Sub-DPS.

Aside from her Burst, her Elemental Skill is also vital as a Support as Baron Bunny taunts enemies and decreases your chances of getting attacked. However, Baron Bunny won’t always be on the field. This is where you need healers and shielders to make up for that downtime. These include 5-star characters such as Zhongli, Jean, and Kokomi. 4-star characters include Diona, Thoma, and Barbara.

For your Main DPS, you may use other Pyro characters such as Hutao, Diluc, and Klee. Aside from the Pyro Elemental Resonance you can get by having two (2) Pyro characters in the team, these Main DPS characters will greatly benefit from Amber‘s Burst at C6.

If you like to trigger Elemental Reactions such as Vaporize, you can pair her up with a Hydro character such as Tartaglia as your Main DPS.

Recommended Weapons for Amber

Whether you’re taking the path of the Burst Support or Burst Sub-DPS, Energy Recharge is vital for Amber, so her Burst would be ready in every rotation. Because of this, we highly recommend the weapon Elegy for the End. However, if you don’t have this 5-star weapon, the Favonius Warbow is our recommended free-to-play option.

Base Bonus Stat (Lv 1 -90): Energy Recharge 12.0% – 55.1%
Base Skill Effect: Increases Elemental Mastery by 60.

When the Elemental Skills or Elemental Bursts of the character wielding this weapon hit opponents, that character gains a Sigil of Remembrance. This effect can be triggered once every 0.2s and can be triggered even if said character is not on the field.

When you possess 4 Sigils of Remembrance, all of them will be consumed and all nearby party members will obtain the “Millennial Movement: Farewell Song” effect for 12s.

“Millennial Movement: Farewell Song” increases Elemental Mastery by 100 and increases ATK by 20%. Once this effect is triggered, you will not gain Sigils of Remembrance for 20s.
Of the many effects of the “Millennial Movement,” buffs of the same type will not stack.
