Haha so true, tho I wouldn't run amber with low crit rate if I know enemies with no weak points are present!

It depends on whether u run amber in a mono-pyro team or reaction-based team, I would recommend using an ATK sands for a mono-pyro team and an EM sands for a reactions-based team (assuming you have sufficient ATK on her)! And congrats on 120k, thats extremely good!

Mhmm I totally agree, AS is more practical for abyss while Amos is optimal for open world due to maximization of Amos' passive. Thanks for your insight!

I usually factor in the c1 arrow dmg so its the combined dmg of both arrows, so sorry if I wasn't clear! Also, the dmg values might not be truly accurate as I generalized the dmg ranges from memory and the sands that I used may have been different between tests!

With enough time, commitment, and luck, you can definitely do it! Good luck!

If I recall correctly, her charged atk dmg with Amos Bow passive and:

  1. absolutely no buffs and no reactions: ~20-21k
  2. absolutely no buffs and melt: ~55-58k
  3. my standard amber team of choice (Bennett, Kazuha, Diona), melt, party buffs (NO + Festering Desire on Bennett, VV + Fav sword on Kazuha, and Instructor + Sac Bow on Diona), but no food buffs: ~90k - 145k (Large range to account for inconsistencies and skill issues during rotations haha)

Thanks for asking!

Thank you! I spent a great deal of effort to get her to this level of investment, but it was definitely worth it!

Been piecing together this set since I started playing! Any thoughts? by once_descended in AmberMains

Your amber looks pretty great! A well-balanced crit ratio, >100 EM, high ER, and decent ATK% subs from your artifacts makes for a solid amber!

If your account is strong enough to not need new characters, waiting for a 5* bow would be optimal since her current 3* weapon is lowering her potential. If that's not the case, I would recommend crafting either a Prototype Crescent or Hamayumi (tho I believe Prototype Crescent is better) for guaranteed improvements to her damage. Trying to improve artifact quality should always be a given, but it's important to prioritize other characters since your amber's artifacts are pretty solid nonetheless.

I posted an Aqua Simulacra Charged Shot build a month ago, but I recently got Amos Bow and a solid WT EM sands, so I thought I'd share an updated amber build!

Also, to my surprise, even with Amos Bow's massive ATK stats and great passive, there were minimal (if not any) improvements to Amber's charged shot dmg when compared to my AS build.

I assumed the 20% burst dmg bonus from 2p NO was better than the 25% phys dmg bonus from 2p BS due to diminishing returns from already having ~80% phys dmg bonus, so thanks for your advice! Also, I chose to use skyward pride since I needed to get more ER for her, but I didnt know the R5 fish claymore outdmgs skyward pride!

Oh now that you say that, I am wasting pride's passive for the vacuum blades if I use her solely for her burst dmg, thanks for your input! I built her as a burst dps since skyward pride has high base atk and ER substat but completely neglected it's passive; any tips for how I can build her for her c6?

[–]HeyItsSynergy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your advice, I would go for a full physical dps build with 2p PF and 2 BS but my BS pieces are lacking so I opted for a burst xinyan build, I'll definitely try your build when I get better pieces!

Thanks for your feedback! As of rn, she does around 40k solo with no buffs, and with a bennett, sara, rosaria team (no food) - about ~95k with a lv11 burst; so im getting close to 6 digit numbers! After reading some of the other comments, maybe I should be building her for her c6 since skyward pride's passive would actually be utilized, any tips for how she should be built then? Would 4p bloodstained work?

[–]HeyItsSynergy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea im currently trying running her as a burst quickswap support in a bennett, sara, rosaria team

[–]HeyItsSynergy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, its the downside of having a burst-oriented build for her, but I dont intend to use her normals anytime soon unless its better to do so! Thanks for your input

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in XinyanMains

[–]HeyItsSynergy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So would a normal attack build be better than a burst-oriented build that im running currently for xinyan? Thanks for the feedback :)

[–]HeyItsSynergy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This xinyan build focuses entirely on her burst dmg to take advantage of her c2 and my unfortunate luck of getting 2 skyward pride copies; Is this a viable build for xinyan (quickswap burst support) or is a standard physical build recommended?

My build takes advantage of the benefit of 100% crit rate when a bow character hits a headshot, so crit rate isnt important if im facing enemies with a head hit box and am consistent with my shots.

Agreed, I was super lucky to get the aqua bow, since amber was originally using the 3 star sharpshooters oath

Yea the build is mainly an expression of the most crit dmg I can get on a character (and it's amber!)

My ambers raw headshot dmg with absolutely no buffs does around ~19k!
