HOW TO: EMBER, THE ARSONIST – Warframe

A thorough and well written guide to best frame.

WHAT IS?

Remember setting things on fire as a kid? Now you can relive those moments again with best frame, but this time you won’t get in trouble.

ABILITIES?

FROM THE ASHES COME 4 ABILITIES AND A PASSIVE

PASSIVE – IGNITION

Whenever Ember is set on fire she gains ability strength and energy regen.

FIREBALL

Throw a ball of fire. Leaves behind a little fire AOE after contact. Charge to increase AOE and dagame.

ACCELERANT

Stun nearby enemies and make them take more fire damage by dousing them with flammable liquids. (No actual liquids involved in this ability).

FIRE BLAST

BLAST THEM WITH FIRE. Create a wave of fire AOE that sets enemies on fire and a ring of fire around ember. Shoot through the ring to deal more heat damage.

WORLD ON FIRE

Just like that one song from Fallout, Toggle to create fiery explosions around Ember. After 6 seconds the AOE shrinks, damage increases, and energy upkeep cost increases.

WHERE?

Ember comes from general Sargas Ruk on Tethys, Saturn.

Have fun with those invulnerable phases.

MODS?

EMBER HASNT BEEN THE SAME SINCE THE NERF SO HERES MY BUILD

STRENGTH > EFFICIENCY = DURATION = RANGE

Eff and dur needed to spam world on fire since you need to recast to get the full range back.

VITALITY MAKES HER THICC AND FLOW MAKES HER HOTTER

NOTABLE AUGMENTS:

Flash accelerant give allies dagame and cast speed. – Link

Fire fright makes enemies panic. – Link

Firequake for when setting them on fire isn’t enough. – Link

MISSIONS?

Despite the nerfs Ember is still. Pretty good on exterminate. Or use her on Orokin derelict missions since everything there dies to fire fast.

ADDITIONAL NOTES

Self inflicted fire proc triggers passive. So go ahead and stand in some fire.
The lingering effect from fireball is 10 seconds, duration mods don’t change that.
Casting fireball doesn’t interrupt other actions like shooting and pleading insanity for setting those people on fire.
Accelerant without augment still gives Ember cast speed buff.
Bonus damage from fire rings stacks. Spam fire blast now.
When cast, world on fire hits the 5 closest enemies then starts to make explosions every couple of seconds.
World on fire also targets cameras and sentries.
Smokey the Bear is spinning in his grave.
