  • Doesn't really scale with investment

Builds

Burst Support Build

In this build we are using Amber's excellent Pyro application on her burst to set up Viridescent Venerer or other party reactions. To this end there is an emphasis on ER stats.

Talent Priority

Burst
Raising Amber's talents only really increases the damage that she deals. Amber's Pyro application doesn't get improved with talent levels making it a lower priority in general.

Stat Priority

Main stats: ER or ATK/Pyro/Crit
Substats: Crit/ATK/ER
Due to the importance of Amber's burst having ER sands helps in its uptime, especially with ER substat bows. At higher investments ATK sands is obviously better as she doesn't have strict energy requirements. Crit rate is valuable for Favonius Warbow.

Weapon Weapons
Best Weapon

Amber is one of the best units for Elegy of the End so its nice if you have it. Favonius Warbow is a more realistic choice and giving enough Crit rate for its passive is definitely worthwhile if you're playing Amber

Elegy for the End
Energy Recharge
Star Star Star Star Star
The Parting Refrain
A part of the "Millennial Movement" that wanders amidst the winds.

Increases Elemental Mastery by 60~120. 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 100~200 and increases ATK by 20~40%. 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.

Energy Recharge
Star Star Star Star
Windfall
CRIT hits have a 60~100% chance to generate a small amount of Elemental Particles, which will regenerate 6 Energy for the character. Can only occur once every 12~6s.

Sacrificial is more of a stat-stick in this build as you don't really care about the extra skill cast

Sacrificial Bow
Energy Recharge
Star Star Star Star
Composed
After dealing damage to an opponent with an Elemental Skill, the skill has a 40~80% chance to end its own CD. Can only occur once every 30~16s.
