Strengths

  • Explosive Puppet puts a bunny out on the field that taunts the enemies and explodes once its duration is over or it.
  • Fiery Rain shoots an arrow up into the air and a shower of Pyro arrows fall back down dealing AoE Pyro DMG.
  • Does the Support job with clear Pyro identity rather than vague flex value.
  • Posts A-tier Spiral Abyss and A in Imaginary Theater on our content ratings strip.

Weaknesses

  • Needs honest Energy Recharge or a battery friend before the kit feels smooth.
  • Constellation breakpoints matter more than the C0 kit advertises.

Amber's Melt team revolves heavily around Amber applying Pyro for the Main Cryo DPS to trigger Melt. Whether you play her as Charged Shot of Exploding Bunny, you can use the same teammates. The only difference would be that for the Exploding Bunny you do not necessarily need any shielder, and you can use Bennett.
