Why NO ONE Plays: Amber | Genshin Impact

by



Welcome to the first Genshin Impact episode of Why NO ONE Plays! A series where I talk about characters who rarely see much usage in the game by explaining what makes them so unpopular! If you guys watched my League of Legends version it’s pretty much the same format 😀

  1. Edit: my dumbass completely forgot Amber can already explode Baron Bunny with C2 haha! Well my point still stands it would be better if she could do it by default, and the arrow bonus damage splash applying too.

  5. Despite her being useless in combat, Amber has never left my exploring party.

    She has a very useful gliding passive, has a point-target source of pyro (good for puzzles and dragonspine), can hunt boars and birds, and baron bunny can keep those annoying enemies off you when you dont wanna deal with them in the meantime.

  6. Amber's burst is actually really good for reactions, it's constant pyro application makes it almost one of a kind.

    For example, When paired with xingqiu she can allow him to triple vapourise his E skill.

    Her main uses are as a burst dps to trigger many reactions in a short window of time,
    Also C6 Amber is one of the best supports for a whale's Hu Tao

  9. Only Five stars characters are have special offensive way than those 4 stars characters like Ganyu, Yoimiya are have Second charge shot unconditionally elemental damage range but Yoimiya slow charge second shot to full homing three arrow and Ganyu simply like rocket arrow explosion. Childe only support carry, not main range DPS. Venti only burst support, even he's god of Wind. 4 stars characters bow are support, not main dps like somewhat main damage unconditional elemental power. Like Ganyu literally CYRO Archon

  12. i can see the "why everyone plays zhongli/kazuha" coming ngl

    edit : actually , there's a way to decrease charging time on a bow user. diona's constellation, (I think it's c4? I don't remember .) but I think she's the only one affected by it.

  13. Amber can dish out very good damage if C3, with very good investment and with max set up for her Q (VV set and grouping, atk buff and a way to use the ticks for reaction, sucrose and benny are very nice with a Xinq or Cho for x4 vaporize or melt) or you can use her in a x2geo x2pyro with zhong, benny and ninn TTDS for a more easy Q spam build (this can free Xiangling but you need to lock up zhong and benny in the team, not so good in terms of team comps but if you wanna use her why not, there are many teams that don't use benny and zhong)

    In the long long run (2 years) you can get her at this level (C3, investment etc)

  14. If Amber got buffs, I'd make it so that her 1st ascension also extends the duration at at least another 3 seconds, preferably 4 or even a lingering field that constantly applies Pyro , so this way she could also be a good Pyro applicator for many Reverse Melt, Reverse Vape and future Cryo/Hydro characters.
    The only Pyro applications we really have are Xiangling and Bennet, and they're both very close range. Having a long range pyro applicator still wouldn't make Amber meta, but it would make her so much better.

    I'd also make it so that Amber can detonate the Bunny whenever she wants, no matter what Constellation she is at, and' I'd change her C2 to something else entirely. Amber, especially with a second Bunny has high particle generation, but it's unreliable without her C2 because most enemies will move out the way of the radius since it isn't all that big. This way, she could also fufil the role as a battery, especially at C2.

  21. I've watched like all of your League no one plays series. And I stopped playing league when I started playing genshin, so kinda funny and great that you are looking to continue that series (and possibly others) here. I will happily watch them all like I still do with your league stuff 😀

  22. Amber main here, so FOR ME Amber fells wack to play cause: she is a bow user, her kit don't synergizes and she's low scaling without constallations even tough she's awful, with a proper setup she can do some real damage.
    I use her on a Team called "Lux Team" inspired by Morgana Team. Basically is a semi-perma freeze, its makes she become actually viable and comfortable to use, I did a 50k damage per shoot, pretty clean.
    I tend think that a c6 Amber sub-dps is niched however great, cause Amber can nuke a melt charge shoot, two manual explosive bunnies and her's bust, at least 200K damage in 3 seconds if she's build, her's bunnies generates a lot of energy too (24 points for pyro, 8 for non-pyro) and she's C6 buffs its okay, I mean is pretty low but a good option at least for Hu Tao.
    Amber on overload team, She's is god-like for procing it, quick ult and quick procs, Aoe Burst, low-energy burst (Battery for herself at C4) and easy to build (just stacks tons and tons of elemental mastery and little bit for energy recharge), full builded at least deals 20K overload per enemy despite all os this there is a problem her overload team needs Venti to work.
    List of all best budies for Amber: Bennet, Beidou, Diona, Fischl, Kazuha, Mona, Noelle, Rosaria, Kokomi, Sucrose, Venti and Zhongli
    This is all just my opinion as an Amber main (Cheers <3)

  23. Here's an idea from a video I watched long ago(ill come back with the link)
    He suggests that one way to buff her is to make a Aim shot Artifact.If you land a Headshot,That shot will be 100% crit rate. So by making a New Artifact with Crit dmg as 2p bonus with something that Increases Crit dmg on headshots or just increasing Aimshot dmg as 4p bonus Would be really great.If you think this will make ganyu even More broken, Remember that only the Headshot will be 100% crit so her frost blooms won't.Even if ppl find a way to utilize this on her,it's still pretty pog since it will directly buff the weakest unit in the game

  26. Man.. I'm from the Normal Channel and god would I be damn to see a why everyone plays series! Like I think Kazuha will be interesting as in the beginning everyone stated how he was just Expensive Sucrose and not worth pulling… but look at him now with So many people regretting now wishing for him, and hes one of the most used units in the Spiral Abyss

  30. You forgot one more major issue with Amber. Her Baron Bunny is broken, as a taunt it's unreliable and the explosion radius is way too small. If Amber hasn't attracted the aggro then her bunny will be able to taunt everyone, but in the middle of a fight you have to throw it literally on top of an enemy to taunt them and explosion radius is so small that some enemies when they move around the bunny they stand right outside the explosion radius(that is if they're not straight up ranged). Then there's the issue that bunny has no weight and it can get easily thrown around the arena making it even harder to put the explosion to use.
    Also i find bunny aiming mechanic redundant takes too much time.

  36. I put on a Tectone video a list of how to fix Amber when he did a rant on fixing Amber. With her current stuff without making her OP and it was basically centered on this and the result boiled down on one simple thing, fixing how janky she is to play, I even build her to check what was wrong with her:

    1. Move the trigger bunny explosion from constelations to ascensions, on the last one if we want to be a dick head about it, and change the hit box from its feet to the entire body. This way the bunny stops being useless and it becomes more friendly to play for everyone, specially phone players who physically cant aim for shit.
    2. Make the bunny an unmovable lure. It is the only lure that can be displaced, this is horrible and its makes worse when you want it to explode. The idea of a lure its to keep your enemies focused in one place, not to run around everywere and at worst if they move it to you. If we want to take it a step further, make it that only enemies cant displace it, so you can still use it with your team that can move stuff, aka, Venti, Sucrose, Traveler, Jean and Kazuha.
    3. Her C4 and C2 should fuse and be on C2. She is the ONLY character that gets a 2nd charge on her E that is on C4. That is horrible and quite unfriendly. And if the triggered explosion is moved to ascension then it would be a very desirable constelation, like most C2s for most characters.
    4. Her C6 should be a C4. She already gets outclassed by everyone on buffs so moving it to that position wont change anything, besides most C4s are already lack luster.
    5. Her C6 should be ANYTHING ELSE that could be a sinergy with her sniper design. Damage buff, speed charge, speed shot, super nuke Bunny… literally anything else would be better.

    There, i didnt thinker with with her numbers, nothing that makes her the second comming of Hu Tao or Ganyu, just a less a janky character and more friendly to play. Plus, some of the changes are not insanely difficult to implement, like point 2. That one is easy to implement and wouldnt break her at all.

  38. Actually, I believe dps is the worst spot for amber? She works as a cc/buff (at C6) support and also as a burst sub-dps, as baron bunny being a target plus her ult being AoE just screams to me that she is suppose to be switch it out.
    Anyway, to improve her gameplay, I think improving baron bunny range is good, as the AoE effect seens to be very small (and the aggro is quite inconsistent) her ultimate could last a bit more too
