I know I'm not the only person who regularly struggles to choose between game strategies that are considered mathematically superior and strategies that just seem fun to me. So it's heartening to see a true demonstration of playing games your own way from Genshin Impact player pcr001, who's spent nearly four years maxing out the damage of a character competing for the lowest spot on the RPG's tier list. All bow before the true Amber main.
On November 25, 2020, pcr began a journey to deal as much damage as possible with a single charged shot from Amber, a Pyro bow user. Amber is the first character you unlock after Genshin Impact's protagonist, the Traveler, and is widely considered to be among the worst characters in the game, to the point that bad characters are often dumped in "Amber tier." Her damage numbers are poor and her abilities have low uptime, so she's generally been relegated to a utility slot for igniting objects in the open world. In an interview, even pcr agrees "her skills and stats are far from good."
