When you first begin Genshin Impact you will be given four free characters, one of which is the outgoing Outrider Amber. She is a four-star pyro bow-user who is often misunderstood when she is used on the battlefield. Amber is a character is built for helping you explore Teyvat and providing support to other characters when in battle. While Amber has been successfully used as a main DPS, she isn't usually built for the role.
You are likely wanting to get as much power as you can out of her, especially since having a pyro archer is pretty useful when solving puzzles. The guide below goes over the best ways to build a powerful Amber for your team.
Best Amber Builds
Amber is actually a character that can be used with a wide variety of bows, due to her unique nature as a support, a DPS, and sub-DPS. Amber should be able to hold her own on the field, especially when exploring Teyvat and finding puzzles.
An Amber without proper gear can quickly put your party in jeopardy even if you only intend to bring her out when exploring certain parts of the world. Below are four bows that work well when using Amber:
| Weapon | Base Attack | Secondary Stat | Passive Ability |
| Amo's Bow | 46 | Attack +10.8% | All normal and charge attacks will have between a 12% to 24% increase in damage. In addition, the arrow will deal 8% to 16% more damage for every second it spends in the air up to a multiple of five. |
| Elegy for the End | 46 | Energy Recharge +12% | When using Amber's Skill or burst, her elemental master will increase between 60 to 120 points. If her attack hits an opponent she will gain a seal of remembrance, upon obtaining four seals, the entire party will receive a buff to elemental mastery between 100 to 200 points and their attack will increase between 20% to 40%. This effect will last twelve seconds in total. |
| Blackcliff Warbow | 44 | Critical Rate +8% | After Amber kills an enemy, she will get an attack boost between 12% to 24% for 30 seconds, this effect can stack up to three times. |
| The Stringless | 42 | Elemental Master +36 Points | Amber's burst and skill damage is increased by 24% to 48%. |
The Stringless is the easiest of the above bows to get, especially for players who don't have the option to pull for a five-star weapon or buy the Blackcliff Warbow from Paimon's Bargains.
Best Artifact Sets For Amber
Like with her weapons, Amber has quite a few artifacts sets to pick from for players wishing to build her up:
| Artifact Set | 2-Piece Set | 4-Piece Set |
| Crimson Witch of Flames | Pyro damage increased by 15% | Overload and Burning reactions do 40% more damage, while melt and vaporize reactions do 15% more damage. The 2 piece-set effect is also increased by 50% for up to three stacks when a reaction happens, this lasts for ten seconds. |
| Noblesse Oblige | Burst damage increased by 20% | Using Amber's burst increases the party's attack by 20% for twelve seconds. |
| Wanderer's Troupe | +80 elemental mastery points | Increases Amber's charge attack damage by 35%. |
| Lavawalker | 40% increase to pyro resistance | Opponents weak to pyro take 35% more damage. |
Depending on how you want to use Amber in your party, some sets may be better than others. Noblesse Oblige is better for using a support Amber, while Crimson Witch of Flames is the perfect set for a DPS Amber.
