How good is Amber in Genshin Impact?

Amber is one of the starter characters that players receive for free in Genshin Impact. Even though she's not too reliable during combat, Amber plays an important part in the storyline.

As mentioned above, Amber is the gliding champion of Mondstadt. She helped travelers and Paimon during the initial days of their journey, and was very kind with them.

Baskin has beautifully portrayed Amber as a supportive, innocent, and fearless character. Suffice to say, players around the world adore her. So much so that miHoYo faced backlash for releasing Yoimiya's banner on Amber's birthday.

Voice actors in Genshin Impact will always have a special place in the hearts of the players, as they play a huge role in making characters popular. For instance, the demand for Sayu exceeded Yoimiya primarily because LilyPichu voiced her.

Hence, it is safe to assume that upcoming Inazuma characters in Genshin Impact will also have popular and experienced voice actors.
