Genshin Impact Amber build, weapon, and teams

Look out, world! Genshin Impact's Amber, the only remaining Outrider of the Knights of Favonius, is the top glider in Teyvat. Ever optimistic and free-spirited, she's the first character you meet right at the start of your adventure, who shows you around Mondstadt and gets you your glider. She's also a free four-star unit you can use in combat.

What's the best Genshin Impact Amber build?

Many players underestimate Amber, considering she's a starter character. However, she certainly has her uses and, with a little TLC, can provide some great damage and utility. Her kit is quite simple, but playing her well relies on quick reflexes and long-term thinking.

It's best to use Amber as a sub-DPS. Her Baron Bunny acts as a taunt and draws enemies' attention, so you can swap to your main DPS and deal damage to them while they're not looking. Amber's burst provides AoE pyro damage, so you can use this to pop off reactions.

Oh, by the way, Amber is really useful for a lot of overworld puzzles, especially in Mondstadt, where you must shoot targets with the pyro element.

What are the best teams for Amber in Genshin Impact?

Amber can, and has, carried us all through the early game - though some continue to main Amber throughout the entire game. Generally, you can use her as a pyro DPS if you build her attack and crit stats, or a sub-DPS if you focus on her elemental skill.

Here's a great early-game team comp for Amber that includes a healer, shield, off-field damage, and on-field damage.

Here are some teams Amber excels in once your roster expands:

What are the best weapons for Amber?

The best weapon for Amber depends on the team comp you're pairing her with. In general, the Amos Bow is a great choice for Amber due to its significant damage increase. The Elegy for the End is great for a more support- or reaction-focused build due to its high energy recharge and the elemental mastery it provides through its skill.

If you're using Amber and you're early on in the game, any three-star bows with attack or crit stats will tide you over well, especially if you can refine them when pulling copies.

• Skyward Harp - standard five-star
• Elegy for the End - limited five-star
• Stringless - four-star
• Favonius Warbow - four-star
• Prototype Crescent - forgeable four-star

What are the best artifacts for Amber?

The Noblesse Oblige artifact set is a strong option for Amber, offering a nice boost to her burst damage and a strong team-wide buff. However, if you already have a character holding a four-piece set of Noblesse Oblige in the team, you can go with Wanderer's Troupe to increase the damage of her elemental reactions and charged attacks, or Crimson Witch of Flames to boost her pyro damage.

• Noblesse Oblige - four-piece set
• Crimson Witch of Flames - two- or four-piece set
• Wanderer's Troupe - two- or four-piece set

When picking each artifact, prioritize options with the following stats as main and sub-stat options:

• Attack
• HP
• Pyro damage
• Crit rate/damage

What are Amber's priority skills?

When leveling up Amber's abilities, you want to make sure her elemental skill is high first, then her burst, and then her normal attack.

• Elemental skill > elemental burst > normal attack
