The +35% shield strength and 40% dmg to autoattacks synergises well with this playstyle, If you take too much damage, the shield will break and bonuses will be lost, If you cannot reliably maintain a shield, then the damage bonus becomes unreliable and outclassed by other sets.

Amber can deplete Cryogunner’s elemental armour with 2 charged shots (regardless of level), Amber is recommended mainly as an Enabler, Barbara lacks short cooldown abilities to function as an Subcarry as her E is on a 32s CD and provides no damage, E can provide a source of persistent hydro aura for 15s and up to 20s with A4, Her normal autos all apply hydro and her charged attack deals AoE hydro, Her E and autoattacks will effectively break pyro shields/armor, E is a great source of persistent healing, but it will continuously apply hydro onto your own character (bad for cryo domains).

There can be specific scenarios where using 4 set Berserker results in a small (100-200dmg difference) increase in damage over using 2 sets of 18% atk (36% atk total).

Fischl’s E can summon Oz which it can shoot a single target enemy and dealing Electro Dmg, it can remains on the field for 10s (12s for constellation 6), Fischl’s E can deal burst dmg when summoning Oz and deal high AOE Electro Dmg (C2 bigger aoe and higher dmg).
