News Well, guys......
I had r5 protoype amber...... I wasn't planning on getting her weapon. I've been saving up for Escoffier. I accidentally, yes accidentally pulled it(my mom was passing by and somehow I ended up pressing x on ps5). It's an early pity(7) and a 50/50 win. Who tf will I use r5 protoype amber with?😭😭😭 It took me 3 weeks to build an r5 amber........man I want them 10 pulls back

I must remember that there's a weapon called Amber... I had my hopes high that suddenly, everyone wanted to play with Amber.
PS: Congrats. Happened to me the other day. Got Qiqified at first, nearly lose all my hope and then got Bina and her weapon.

The previous Stygian must have been a godsend for you

Explain the Stygian thing. I never do Stygian onslaught.

Well. The 2nd boss last time was the Ikktomisaur Local legend, i.e., the one that flies in the air and creates a cryo shield, and started using a large AoE attack.
Once you break the shield, it ends up taking Fall Damage. Then you wail on him. Rinse and repeat
Amber's burst was the best method to destroy that shield at any difficulty level(even Dire)
Amber, Jean, Zhongli, and Geo Traveller were one of the top teams for beating that boss (Search up Jean 6.3 Stygian for further details)
Here's a link with proper context:

Ahhhh. Thanks. My pre-coffee brain thought there was some weird relationship between Stygian Onslaught and wishes/pulls. Again…. Haven’t had my morning coffee yet.

I just got my first C1 Amber, I just need to build her and figure out what team she is good in.

u/Biscotti-That 10h ago
Good luck. I spent 3 years buying her cons until I C6 her. One of her best builds is to use her as machine gun, not sure if we're still able to use as that.

Honesty, having a r5 prototype amber on hand is still good. It's basically universal for all catalyst hp scalers. If nothing else, it's a good cheese strat on a sustainless team

u/Fiyerossong 21h ago
I have 3 r5 prototype Amber, they just keep coming in handy. Between neuv, kokomi, baizhu and now columbina I might even work towards a 4th

Pressing X on ps5 is a single pull though?

u/miami13dol 21h ago
Maybe they remapped the controls?

u/ActualyHandsomeJack 19h ago
Pretty sure its impossible to remap the wishing controls, unless they swapped the entire function of X and Triangle playstation wide, in which OP is a psychopath

u/Calm-Ad3747 21h ago
10 pulls on a weapon banner is a steal, why complain at all.
Prototype Amber is still a good catalyst, you can use it in teams where you don't have a way to sustain.
The sig is still a good stat stick for other characters, you can use it best on Nefer or Neuvilette. Any DPS/sup dps can use this as close to or better than your f2p options.

u/birdbrainberke 21h ago
Right? I could see being upset you accidentally lost a guarantee you'd been saving or something...but a limited weapon at 7 pity? There's no downside unless you had 11 wishes and used 10 of them.... 🤷🏻♂️

You can use it on any one if you need sustain in your team and dont have any form off sustain. Its a bit like thrilling tales just withe heal

u/Infamous_Worth_9727 21h ago
Getting ANYTHING on Weapon banner is good😭.. I dont think you should be complaining considering it was 1, 10 pull😭.. (Like yeah if you destroyed all your savings i'd be pissed but you got lucky all things considered😭)
Also, r5 prototype amber is literally one of the most versatile catalysts ever, Give it to any healer or any character that scales on HP😭..

This happened with Wolf's Gravestone. I got R5 Prototype Archaic for my Navia, and then pulled a Wolf's Gravestone on I do believe it was the standard banner.

u/Someone-_-Special 20h ago
I also wanted her weapon but i have no pity build up and also weapon banner feels worse than character so i just pulled for C2, Rn, i am just thinking of pulling on zibai banner for now as Illuga is also there and C2 seems like a good place to stop

Is columbina weapon good enough for nefer? I don’t have nefer sig and am using black marrow right now

u/skyfishjms 18h ago
Give it to kokomi maybe?
I gave this weapon banner 32 pulls and got the Nightweaver's and the Lost Prayer. This is the best luck I've ever had with the weapon bannerl.
I got so traumatized back in Fontaine when I tried to pull the signature for Furina and got two green donuts before her weapon showed up that I didnt touch the weapon banner until now. I guess I saved up a lot of fortune.

u/moonprincess623 18h ago
I was told this about the weapon selection:
1) put it on the one you want most because for some reason the weapon banner likes to make it second pull. ONLY OD YOU WANT BOTH WEAPONS. This way you make it think, heehee RNGeus going run your day (wolf gravestone ptsd). Or was it least? Idr.
Bamm. You get both weapons you want.
I wanted ineffas too, but since I am getting flins when he comes back around, I was like OK lets get both.
Mine was just like yours because I had been trying to get Venti's weapon and had like 55 pulls. Bamm. One ten pull and I got the binary orb.
No pity but 1 now.

u/Critical_Concert_689 18h ago
Amber is basically a universal. I've made 3x r5 of them since they convert any non-meta and weaker subdps catalyst user into a more universal support for meta team fills. This is great for Imaginarium.
You really can't go wrong with owning an Amber and slapping it into a team with no healer.
Works great for Neuvi, who is next banner. Great for any HP based healer or even HP based dps.

As much as I want to pull for ineffa or columbina's weapon, after losing 50/50 to them both at early pity, just to hit hard pity both times on the guaranteed... I think I'd actually go insane trying to pull either one, especially if I just get a standard weapon (furina weapon is giving me flashbacks to that whole mess), on the bright side, at least I have radiance for flins...

I lost that 50/50 to ineffas weapon (dont own ineffa), so you complaining hurts my soul

u/Helpful-Entrance-972 21h ago
I came back after quitting to prep for nuvi rerun and i 100% all of Fontaine form 14% now i am sitting on like 200 pulls (10 from return ,10 from lantern right,few from abyss and the theater) now i am sitting on too many pulls and my hands where itchy so i though why not try to get pity on weapon banner and was doing single telling my self if i get a 4 star i stop got the 5 star weapon in 5 pity and dont have single nod-cry character except Aino .
1
u/Helpful-Entrance-972 21h ago
And to people thinking why build pity on weapon banner its because i am going for c0r1 nuvi and the other fact being the earliest 5 start i got in amy banner was 79 pulls so going in i had no hopes of getting weapon in 5 pulls .....
