Amber's strongest measured map is Backyard Bowl (Brawl Ball): 73% over 161 matches (fairly reliable). Its weakest is Out in the Open (Knockout): 47% over 130 matches (fairly reliable). 29 maps have at least 30 Amber matches; maps with fewer are left out.

On these maps Amber loses more often than it wins. The match count tells you how much weight to give each one.

A win rate only means something when enough matches sit behind it. Next to every number we say how sure we are:

• reliable — 200 matches or more: a solid basis for a verdict.
• fairly reliable — 80 to 199 matches: enough to spot a real pattern.
• early signal — 30 to 79 matches: a hint, not a verdict.
• too few matches — fewer than 30 matches, so we do not show a win rate yet.

A 60% win rate over 40 matches can easily be luck; a 54% win rate over 800 matches is a real edge. Maps and modes with fewer than 30 matches are listed without a win rate on purpose.

Blind-pick safety is coaching metadata, not a meta ranking: it says how risky Amber is to lock in before you can see the enemy draft. Amber scores 5/10.

Gadget: Fire Starters — Fire puddles that burn away bush and claim zone.

Star Power: Wild Flames — A wider flame hits multiple enemies — the reason Amber wins teamfights.

Gears: Damage + Gadget Charge — Your constant stream of damage scales directly.

Keep your ammo bar full and never spam without a target.

• With your fire pool that leaves him no bush you focus Penny: Penny is slow and has no escape.
• With your fire pool that leaves him no bush you focus Tick: Tick has the lowest HP in the game.

Amber struggles against marksman, sharpshooter and on maps that do not support the fighter role.
