How to Play Ember

As a Teammate

Ember Teammate Guide


Ember's role is to provide sustain through the Combo Skill's healing and the shields from her Ultimate. Ember's Battle Skill can inflict Knock Down for Vulnerability stacks.

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

3 Battle Skill Upgrading Ember's Battle Skill will only increase the damage. You can save this for last or skip upgrading this.
