Good for HP Scaling Characters

The Prototype Amber does well with being equipped by a character that is heavily reliant on HP thanks to its substat! Healers like Baizhu, Barbara or Kokomi can make good use of this catalyst for supporting role.

Meanwhile, Neuvillette can take advantage of the Prototype Amber as a Main DPS due to his fluctuating HP and the need for this stat's scaling to deal more damage for the team.

Used for Niche Support Builds

This weapon can also be used for niche support builds on characters such as Yanfei and Ningguang since certain parts of their kits need HP. Yanfei's shield at C4 and Ningguang's Jade Screen Skill have a duration depending on the amount of HP they each have.

Can I use this on Mona in a Hu Tao team? It might help me keeping my team alive while not healing too much for Hu Tao. The other characters in the team are Nilou and Layla.
