Amber vs Chevreuse
A relic of the past vs. the queen of Overload shred
TL;DR — Quick Pick
Pick Amber if…
- Only if you need a taunt to distract enemies
- When doing light-puzzle exploration in Mondstadt
- If you are playing a challenge account with only starter units
Pick Chevreuse if…
- In any team featuring both Pyro and Electro units
- To replace Kazuha in Overload-specific compositions
- When you need a healer and a buffer in a single slot
Chevreuse is a transformative support that makes Overload viable, while Amber remains a low-tier starter unit. Unless you need Amber's taunt, Chevreuse is the vastly superior choice for any combat scenario.

Shared Team Members
With Amber
Raiden acts as a universal battery for Amber, ensuring her low-cost but high-utility Burst is always available for Pyro application. Her off-field Electro hits can also trigger Overload with Amber's arrows, providing some crowd control against lighter enemies.
With Chevreuse
Raiden Shogun provides Chevreuse with the consistent off-field Electro application required to maintain her 'Coordinated Tactics' passive. Her energy restoration is also helpful for cycling Chevreuse's Burst to maintain team-wide buffs.
With Amber
Bennett offers Amber a high-value ATK buff and Pyro Resonance, which is vital for her damage output in any build. His fast Pyro application and healing make the duo a solid core for early-game or budget Pyro teams.
With Chevreuse
Bennett provides the Pyro Resonance and additional ATK buffing that complements Chevreuse's own resistance shred and ATK bonuses. Together, they form a powerful support backbone for any Pyro or Electro carry in an Overload-centric team.
