It had to be Amber showing the ass! The most prominent ass in Genshin Impact! :D

Amber is the ass of Genshin Impact, in more sense than just one.

I thought that was Mona....

Mona's ass is sexy too, but it's partially covered. Amber is the only character in the game that has the ass totally exposed, and it's bigger than Mona's. Moreover, it's so sexy in those short shorts with a little bit of ass slipping out of the shorts at the bottom. And, damn, I am a fan of short shorts! :D
Almost all female characters in Genshin Impact have the asses covered, DKW, which is a shame. Amber's is the only one fully exposed.

I already fell in love with Amber's ass and her sexy shorts even before ever playing Genshin Impact after I saw this video: https://youtu.be/ZzcUoAwYWU8. :D

Yeah, that's part of it, though my favorite is Sucrose's.
The other aspect is that Amber is the "ass" of many jokes that's being about her being useless, because she's very underpowered as a character.

Wow, seriously? "Useless" and very underpowered? Before your message and before I wrote mine before, I saw this comment as the first comment on the video above: "She may be tier Z to everyone, but she's rank S in my heart." She is rank S in my heart too, but I wondered why he said that she is tier Z to everyone. Now you say that people think she is "useless" and "very underpowered". I don't know why. I'm on rank 25 and she never left my party ever since I started playing. I think she is a balanced character comparing to the other 4-star characters. I think she is a rather strong archer. She is certainly stronger than Kaeya, IMO, another starter character. For starters, I think an archer is always necessary in the party, because there are many powerful foes to face on melee, like Ruin Guardians and Ruin Hunters (specially because apart of being really strong on melee, they have weak points that you can hit with an arrow); and also flying foes that are unreachable on hand-to-hand. There are also ranged targets all over the game that you have to hit with an arrow, like torches that you have to light up to reveal chests, and those balloons that fly off from a specific plant that you also have to hit to reveal a chest. So I think an archer is always necessary in the party.
I've recently defeated an Electro Hypostasis for the first time using only Amber! She is great against Electro enemies because she causes Overload with Pyro + Electro. Her charged shots are very strong together with an elemental reaction. She is my ideal choice against powerful enemies that are too strong on melee and uses an element that reacts with Pyro.

I don't have Fischl in my team yet, but I've tested her recently and I didn't like her that much. I think Amber is better than her. The only bad thing about Amber is her rain of arrows that constantly misses the target. But when they hit, they are great against enemies that reacts with Pyro.

But Fischl can shoot like machine gun, you know?

You mean her normal shots? I don't remember that when I tested her. I used a little bit of her normal shots, but I mostly used her charged shots and her special abilities with the raven. Amber shoots rapidly with the normal attack too (don't know if it's as fast as Fischl, though), but I rarely use it because they do too little damage. I prefer to use her charged shots with Pyro that cause much more damage, and can be shot from afar.

Yeah, but it's giving good Damage.
I using this link as reference for her build.

If you're using her pyro effect, you will realize that if you have someone like, say, Klee in your party, she won't just outperform Amber's damage output a lot, but do multiple times the DPS as Amber.
I mean, I like Amber too, and she can be situationally strong, but first of all you can fight basically everyone with melee only characters too, and secondly, at tougher enemies Amber will be much harder to play than most.
That said I stopped playing for a long time now (somewhere around the start of December), but at around level 80, Amber was definitely ""useless"", I mean very weak compared to all alternatives.
Though my Archer of choice, Diona was pretty weak at DPS output as well, but she's also a decent healer, and shielder with freeze.

As much as I love Amber as a"person", she really not good as a character.

Thank you for the tip. But I'm not in a competition, just playing for fun and the story, so I prefer to make my own builds and trying my own setups instead of worrying about following recipes for builds and setups. But I sincerely thank you for the tip. :)

Dude, if you notice in my previous comments, I said that Amber is a balanced character comparing to the other 4-star characters, and a rather good archer; I even compared her with Fischl. It's not fair to compare a 4-star character with a 5-star like Klee. Besides, good luck trying to get Klee in your team; not only 5-star characters are really hard to get (I have currently 10 characters in my team; not a single one is 5-star), but Klee isn't even in the Wish's characters list! Furthermore, Klee can't attack from afar like Amber, hence, can't stay alive against powerful melee enemies as much as Amber.

No, you can't. At least in my tries I didn't have a good result/progress, but using Amber I could, with ease. There are airborne enemies that never or rarely comes to the ground where you can hit them on melee. So what will you do when there's an enemy attacking you with ranged attacks from up high where you can't touch them? Will you stay still dying and doing nothing, waiting for it to come down? No, you answer with the same coin! Ranged attack! So an archer is ideal in those cases. There are also the cases when powerful enemies, as I mentioned before, like Ruin Guardians and Ruins Hunters, that have weak spots where you can hit with an arrow, causing much damage and paralyzing them.
And there is also the ranged targets situations that I also mentioned before, like lighting up torches and exploding balloons. What do you do if you don't have an archer?

That depends on the type of enemy. There are situations where Amber is the best choice in my team, but there are other enemies that are faster to kill with a melee character, or a mage. You need to have diversity in your party. In my current team, the characters that cause the more damage in less time, i.e. DPS, are Xiangling and Noelle. Xiangling has a lightning speed normal attack that cause much damage; her charged attack is also very good; and her elemental burst is fabulous! Noelle already causes much damage with her normal attacks and charged whirlwind attack, but when you activate her elemental burst, she becomes immensely powerful! I like to compare her with Saber, from Fate/Stay Night. She looks like Saber, both in looks and in power. :P I always use them against tough enemies that don't kill you outright with melee attacks, so Xiangling and Noelle are able to stay alive. BUT, they are not so good against powerful melee enemies, they do not survive as much as Amber. And Amber's charged shots can cause MUCH damage from afar, avoiding melee confront and staying alive. I said before that I recently defeated an Electro Hypostasis using only Amber (my first time against an Electro Hypostasis!). Yesterday my "useless" Amber defeated four Ruins Guardians in a row, with little help from Noelle, and shortly after a Ruin Grader (much tougher), this time all by herself! In an arena in Dragonspine Mountain. Yeah, "useless". :D

Well, anyway, no matter what people think or how their Amber is not as good as mine, Amber is my best waifu and will never leave my party. She was already my favorite character even before I started playing, after I saw those promotional videos with her on YouTube (like the one I linked before). I liked everything about her: her ass, her sexy shorts (I really love short shorts!), her sexy thighhighs, her thighs, her legs, her looks, her brown hair (I love brunettes!), her cuteness, and her red outfit (coincidentally other big waifus of mine use red as well: Asuka, from Evangelion, and Rin Tohsaka, from Fate/Stay Night), and I really like red. Now Amber is the third one! :) I was so happy when she entered my party right in the beginning of the game! I couldn't believe my luck! I didn't think she -- my instant best character (from the characters I had seen in the videos before playing) -- would be in my party "for free" right in the beginning. :)

So it's not all about having the best DPS characters and so, I'm not in a competition, I'm in for the fun, so having my best waifu always in my screen where I can admire her all the time and take lots of screenshots of her fabulous ass is more important. As for the fights, she is very competent for me, and in certain situations, the best choice. She just needs the best equip and you need to know how to use her and when. ^^

DUUUUUUUUUUDE, you are free to use and enjoy her, but don't act as if you're better than anyone who plays for the meta. Because you're telling me I'm wrong, and I can't fight in melee, whereas I could fight the toughest enemies with melee only much easier than with someone like Amber. Other people and statistics will tell you that too.
Nobody is telling you that you CAN'T play with her decently, but you can stop acting as if you are somehow superior to everyone else and we are the one talking out of our ass or something.

You did notice that I mentioned: "At least in my tries I didn't have a good result/progress, but using Amber I could, with ease.", right? I was talking about my experiences with tough melee enemies that can kill you outright in melee. I also mentioned airborne enemies that never or rarely comes to the ground, like Ruin Hunters and an Anemo flying thing that I forgot the name now. Yes, you can fight them with melee only characters, but you will have to wait for the sporadic and brief moments they come to the ground; the rest of the time you will be just taking damage with arms crossed. There are also situations that you can fight in melee too, but it would be better with a ranged character, like when there are Hilichurls shooting bolts at you over a hard to reach distance, or from the top of a tower; or when those shaman Hilichurls build a platform where they stand on casting spells at you where you can't reach them on melee unless you destroy their platforms first, or shoot them down with arrows or spells; and other similar situations.

Actually that's kind of what it looks like when you and other people say that she is "useless" or a D rank character. :P Sorry if it looked like I was trying to look superior, it was not my intention. I was just trying to explain that, in my personal experiences, she is definitely not "useless" or a D rank, not by a long shot; and that I was surprised when I read on the comment on YouTube the guy saying: "She may be tier Z to everyone else...", and shortly after TheUnspoken saying that she is subject of many jokes about her being "useless" and "very underpowered". I was just surprised when I read that, because she is not like that at all for me (and it seems for other people as well, for what I've read on the comments on that video on YouTube). She is great for certain situations and enemies (like enemies over a distance, single tough melee enemies, or enemies that react with Pyro), but for other situations and enemies (like multiple weaker enemies, or tough but don't-kill-you-outright-in-melee enemies) I prefer other characters that attack faster with good damage. You just need to have diversity in your party and know how to use her and when. At least that's my experience with her in my current team with no 5-star characters and no other archers.

Okay, I think we might have a different interpretation here of something, and that causes our different opinions.
When people say you "she's D rank/tier Z" it doesn't mean that using her is impossible or she's completely useless; it means that she's among the weakest characters in game/meta. It can be balanced with a nice team composition, or strong other characters, or even if you have the weakest characters you can more or less complete the game, so it's not like tier D, or even "useless" means that you can't use her and still prevail.
Hell, I've been through dungeons where I didn't have any recommended elements, and almost exclusively had the element they are immune to for my damage output (fire - Klee), and still completed it. But that doesn't change the fact that Amber is among the weakest characters, thankfully even weakest characters are not extremely weak or anything, especially if played well.
I hope that clears up the hostility in this weird meta discussion.
