Game plan

Amber fires a continuous long-range stream of fire with an extremely fast reload. Her Super throws fire fluid that she can ignite with her attack to burn enemies inside it. She dishes out constant, high damage and controls areas with burning puddles.

  1. Keep firing. Your stream reloads fast, so constant pressure is your strength.
  2. Throw your Super on the objective, then ignite it to deny the area.
  3. Use fire puddles to block approach paths for divers.

Drafting Amber

When to pick
Pick Amber in Hot Zone, Gem Grab and Heist, where constant damage and area control pay off.
Who to pair with
Pair her with a tank who holds the front.
Ban or not
