Genshin Impact Amber Guide | Articles

Welcome to PocketGamers’ detailed Amber guide! In Genshin Impact, Amber is an archer and the only Outrider in the Knights of Favonius. She takes her role as a knight seriously and tries to play by the rules, but her love for gliding overcomes everything else. Don’t let her morals fool you, however, as she’s as nice as they come. Friendly to all, stranger or not, and she strives to be as good of a knight as her grandfather, who was a defender of Mondstadt.

Character Appearance

Amber Element / Tier / Rarity / Weapon

Pyro / D Tier / 4* Rarity / Bow

Amber has great support capabilities and offers Geo protection with her shields. She can do Geo damage for longer thanks to her Elemental Skill and Burst lasting longer than most characters.

How to get Amber

Complete the Wind-Riding Knight Quest, spend Wishes in the Wanderlust Invocation, or she sometimes shows up in Paimon’s Bargains.

Amber Combat Info (Strengths and Weaknesses)

Strengths

Amber can focus on taking down enemies from a distance and focus on hitting their weak points with higher precision

Her Elemental Skill is a good distraction against mobs of enemies.

You can use her Pyro to solve environmental puzzles.

Weaknesses

Amber has a low base HP and damage amount.

You’ll be waiting a while for her skills to cooldown.

Requires a lot of resources to make her a halfway decent character with a bunch of perks locked beyond Ascension phases.

Best Build for Amber

Pair Amber with the Skyward Harp weapon and Noblesse Oblige artifact set to use her as a decent Pyro support character. This is a great setup to increase her Crit damage as well as her Elemental Burst damage, allowing her to spread Pyro around while controlling enemies with her Skill. Her Burst can also then be effective to take down shields.

Best Party Members to match Amber with

Premium (Gacha) Team

Amber should be used as a way to inflict elemental combos and as support. If you pair her with Chongyun, you can use his Elemental Skill to inflict Melt on enemies, causing extra damage. Fischl can use Oz to cause the Overcharge combo to create a lot of damage and stays on the field even when switching to a different character. Bennett will act as a healer and support with his attack buff from his Burst. Pairing the two Pyros will also give you a boost in Resonance.

F2P Team

While it’s not the best option, if you were hard-pressed, you could use Amber as a means to set up combos and act as a sub-DPS, but Xiangling will be the main damage dealer in this party. Not only will you have a bunch of Pyro about, but your Resonance will be better for it. Kaeya can swap in to provide Melt reactions, and Barbara should be able to handle heals and create Vaporize reactions from your Pyro pals.
