Pyro Bow

Amber

Gliding Champion

Release1.0

The Knights of Favonius' only Outrider and the very first character most players meet. Amber is a free Pyro archer who can either rain fire from her Burst as a support (with a party ATK buff at C6) or play as a Charged Shot Melt DPS. She is outclassed by almost every other Pyro unit, but remains a fun, fully free option that works at any constellation.

Guide

How to play

How she works

  • Explosive Puppet (Skill) throws Baron Bunny, who taunts enemies and explodes for AoE Pyro DMG. At C2, a fully charged Aimed Shot on its feet detonates it manually for +200% DMG; C4 adds a second charge.
  • Fiery Rain (Burst, 40 Energy) rains arrows for continuous AoE Pyro DMG. Every Arrow Finds Its Target gives it +10% CRIT Rate and a 30% wider area; at C6 it grants the party +15% ATK and Movement SPD for 10s.
  • Precise Shot: a weak-point Aimed Shot hit grants +15% ATK for 10s.

Rotation

  • Burst support: Q (and E if it does not disrupt reactions), then swap. Use it to apply Pyro for Swirls or for teammates like Hu Tao.
  • Melt DPS: let your Cryo supports set the aura (Rosaria, Citlali), buff with Bennett, then chain fully charged Aimed Shots at weak points.

Aiming at weak points is key for her Charged Shot build: it triggers her ATK bonus and guarantees the CRIT on many enemies.

Strengths

  • Completely free, and useful at C0
  • Low 40-Energy Burst with wide AoE Pyro application
  • Strong Melt Charged Shots on weak points
  • C6 gives the whole party +15% ATK

Weaknesses

  • Outclassed by nearly every other Pyro character
  • Her Charged Shot build needs precise aiming
  • Long Skill cooldown before C4
  • Small, stationary Burst and Skill areas against mobile enemies
