  Maximizes value when below 50% health.

Why this Amber build works

Amber's strongest build in 2026 is the "Wild Flames" Star Power together with the "Fire Starters" Gadget. "Wild Flames" is the pick that turns Amber's baseline into a real threat — it scales with the way a controller wants to trade, and the numbers back it up (58.3% win rate, 17.3% pick rate). "Fire Starters" adds the exact utility the kit is missing: burst, reposition or lockdown depending on the situation, and it converts neutral fights into won trades when timed with your Super. For gears we lock in Health as the primary because it compounds with the Star Power the most on Amber specifically — swap the secondary to Shield on open maps or Damage on close-range brawls.

Amber Gadgets

Fire StartersBest pick

Amber summons an Oil barrel with health, spilling oil when destroyed.

Dancing Flames

Amber creates orbiting flames around her for seconds, dealing damage on hit.

Amber Star Powers

Wild FlamesBest pick

Amber's Fire Fluid becomes sticky, attaching to Brawlers and leaving a trail of oil while they move.

Scorchin Siphon

Amber reloads% of her fire-breathing when an enemy takes fire damage.

Amber Hypercharge (Buffie)

Fuga Ígnea

Con el Buffie, los ataques de Amber aplican la quemadura de su Súper Hipercargado a los enemigos alcanzados. Esto también afecta a la duración de la quemadura por la Habilidad Estelar Absorción Ignea con Buffie. La duración de la Hipercarga además aumenta en 2 segundos.

Situational alternatives

If the map favours long-range enemies, swap "Fire Starters" for a repositioning Gadget when available; in Brawl Ball, Shield gears keep Amber alive long enough to land the Super, while in Heist and Bounty the Damage and Speed gears squeeze much more value out of "Wild Flames". The real rule is simple: adapt the build to how opponents try to punish your controller role, not the other way around.

Amber Counters

No build fixes a bad matchup: Melodie, Crow, Cordelius are the brawlers that give Amber the hardest time right now, so with this setup play around them instead of trading head-on.
