Amber
Who is Amber?
Amber is the last remaining Outrider of the Knights of Favonius and the first character players obtain in Genshin Impact. She is a 4★ Pyro Bow character from Mondstadt, rated D-tier overall but A-tier as a support and A-tier for exploration. Her niche lies in Melt teams pairing her Baron Bunny with Rosaria or Kaeya, and her C6 grants the entire party 15% Movement SPD and ATK during her Fiery Rain. She is the free Pyro option for early-game players who need off-field Pyro application. Source: https://game8.co/games/Genshin-Impact/archives/297535
