  2. Pretty sure you put Amber at the bottom for these reasons alone:

    1. Starter Character (possibility this plays a part because Kaeya is also at the near bottom).
    2. Jumped on the bandwagon to say Amber is trash because majority of the people say that already.
    3. Don’t know how to build Amber properly, therefore you think she is trash.
    4. Biased opinion and only made this tier list based off of what many other people are saying and how they are ranking characters.

    Nonetheless, this article is really stupid. No one thought Bennett and Xingqiu were really good until someone proved that wrong. But for some reason Amber will always be at the bottom because people like you make these biased articles that only spread stupid information. That, and because people as a whole are fucking idiots, to be honest. No need to make a tier list; just say you’re biased and move on.
