Former Finery is Ember's next best weapon option, obtainable via the New Horizons Weapon Supply selector. This weapon boosts her healing with its Efficacy skill, in addition to boosting her Shield amount with HP Boost.

For Former Finery's Essences, prioritize its Efficacy skill first to increase her healing, followed by her HP Boost to increase her shields and the scarcity of HP% buffs. Level her Will Boost last, as her gear options stack Will through their stat increases.

For players lacking in other options. Quencher can be a decent weapon until higher rarity options have been obtained. This weapon can be obtained from treasure chests found throughout Talos-II.
Quencher can increase Ember's HP stat and Will attribute, boosting her healing and shields.
Quencher Essence Priority for Ember
- HP Boost
- Will Boost
- Crusher
For Quencher's Essences, etch the HP Boost due to the scarcity of HP% sources to increase her shields. Add levels to the Will Boost next for the slight increase in healing, and either level it last or leave the Crusher unupgraded as the ATK stat does not benefit Ember's support capability.

Best Gear and Gear Sets for Each Character
Ember Gameplay Guide
Ember's role is to provide sustain through the Combo Skill's healing and the shields from her Ultimate. Ember's Battle Skill and Combo Skill can inflict Knock Down for Vulnerability stacks as well, allowing her to play as a sustain slot in Physical teams.
Ember can support the team by performing the following:
Inflict Knock Down with Battle Skill
Ember's Battle Skill lets her attack and inflict Knock Down on enemies, which can apply Vulnerability.
Provide Healing with Combo Skill
Ember's Combo Skill can be triggered when the controlled operator gets hit by the enemy. When unleashed, Ember's Combo Skill deals damage and inflicts Knock Down while also providing healing to the controlled operator.
Ember's healing can be improved when she has more Will stats.
Grant Shields with Ultimate
Ember's Ultimate will deal Heat DMG to enemies while also providing a shield to all party members based on her Max HP.
Ember's Skills and Talent Priority
Skills Priority
| Priority | Skill | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Combo Skill | Prioritize leveling the Combo Skill, as it increases Ember's HP Recovery based on her Will. |
| 2 | Ultimate | Upgrade Ember's Ultimate to increase shield durability based on a portion of her HP. |
| 3 | Battle Skill | Upgrading Ember's Battle Skill will only increase the damage. You can save this for last or skip upgrading this. |
| 4 | Basic Attack | You can skip Ember's Basic Attack since her role is to provide Sustain, not deal damage. |
Talents Priority
| Priority | Talent | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Inflamed for the Assault | Unlock and upgrade this Talent to increase Ember's Interruption, which decreases the damage dealt to her and makes her less likely to get interrupted from enemy attacks. |
| 2 | Pay the Ferric Price | Ember gains an ATK buff after receiving damage from enemies. This is optional to upgrade since Ember doesn't deal a lot of damage. |
Ember Potential Priority
Recommended Potentials
| Recommendation | |
|---|---|
| P1 |
Nomadic Fort - ★★☆☆☆ Potential 1 boosts Ember's own survivability, boosting the Protection effect and allowing it to persist for a short time after hitting an enemy. Decent to have but not a necessity to get, as her primarily role is to sustain the team and apply Vulnerable. |
| P2 |
Absolute Zero Armament - ★☆☆☆☆ Potential 2 offer small stat bonuses that are already saturated by Ember's build options. Not recommended to aim for. |
| P3 |
Indomitable Front - ★★★★★ Potential 3 improves Ember's sustaining ability, able to target another Operator at half the effect. This not only allows her to |
| P4 |
Undying Embers - ★★★☆☆ Potential 4 lowers Ember's Ultimate cost, allowing a more frequent access to her Ultimate. Not necessarily game changing, but a decent potential to have. |
| P5 |
The Steel Oath - ★★★★☆ Potential 5 further boosts Ember's supporting capability by increasing her shield while granting a small ATK buff. Overall a great potential, but not a necessity as Operators already saturate on ATK% from attribute bonuses. |
