"3 years and we’ve finally made it"- Genshin Impact player shares insane damage achievement with free starter character

Genshin Impact provides players with a few free starter characters at the beginning of the game. However, they are easily outclassed by their peers featured on the gacha banners. While most replace them with something better at the first opportunity, one player has set their eyes on unlocking the maximum potential of the first free character, Amber.

Redditor u/pcr001 recently shared an achievement with the community where they managed to deal more than 250k damage with Amber's charged attack. While most consider her to be amongst the weakest characters in the game, she is OP's favorite unit and they challenged themself to reach this remarkable milestone.

The Redditor said it took them over three years to achieve this result with a team of Amber, Sucrose, Diona, and Bennett. Moreover, they benefited from obtaining better artifacts, weapons, and higher constellations over the period.

The Genshin Impact community was highly impressed by this feat, with many Redditors congratulating u/pcr001 for dealing over 250k damage with Amber. Several users joked that Amber Mains are built differently, lauding their dedication to the game's first free character.

Many users also expressed that players like OP give them hope to play their favorite characters when most of the community is influenced by the meta. Redditor u/TheChilledBuffalo_GS suggested that sticking with your favorites without caring for what others say provides the best Genshin experience.

This sentiment seems to be shared by many, including user u/guestername who made a heartfelt comment, applauding OP's long-term commitment to this challenge. They also wished them well for their next Amber challenge:

It will be interesting to see how the OP manages to reach their next target of 280k damage with Amber's charged shot. However, it is safe to say the Genshin Impact community will keep an eye out on their progress.
