Warframe: Reworked Ember Is Glorious!

[@TacticalPotato]

Thoughts on Ember? How do you play her now?

[@mrdoormat6809]

I just realize her rework starts now, i thought it was next month lol X'

[@TheBat171]

Ngl, it's a bit too late for this kind of rework to pull veterans back in. I legit played about 1000 of my first hours exclusively with ember before later getting ember prime. The ult change back in the day ruined her. Glad she's getting some love before the heirloom skin drops but it's a pittance against the time for which she's been unviable for anything above level 100. Either way, hope newbies get to enjoy the embodiment of fire (finally).

[@TacticalPotato]

Heirloom skin next month 😂​@@mrdoormat6809

[@JustaMuteCat]

Had the same thoughts on getting thermalsunder on her, so I changed p.flow to archon flow and got t.fortitude in place of umbral intensify cause I don’t have an umbral forma to throw at her right now. Otherwise build is pretty much the same. Cheers!

[@A_Game_Zone]

Side question: How is thermal sunder affected this update? Cold rework, blast rework, heat armor strip making noticeable difference...

This rework has made me excited to play Ember again, even more so for her heirloom skin coming soon.

[@TacticalPotato]

Yea the skin is the icing in the CAKE

[@RokysCZ]

Lets be real, these changes ARE because of the heirloom skin. But hey, it works, I will get it and maybe play Ember a bit more, changes are very good.

[@G1mute]

@@RokysCZI don’t like that they most likely only made changes because of the upcoming heirloom skin I find it kinda lame (really glad they gave ember the help she needed though)

[@SpoonLoverify]

@@G1mute could just be that if frame gets heirloom or deluxes in future, it just gets more attention so might as well rework while frame gets attention anyways(and will get more attention after skin comes)

Welcome dude, hope you've been having fun!

[@ShinGetsu857]

You can play her with Harmony modded for Status duration and heavy attack damage for the melee. With all the heat procs she does, everything dies instantly with Harmony's passive.

[@PERSONAfan01]

Harmony is so ridiculous. Combined with the new melee arcane and it truly gets bananas on those heavy attacks on floating enemies after the neutral combo of the stalking fan stance

[@ShinGetsu857]

@@PERSONAfan01 You don't even need arcane for it to go banana tbh. Heat 60/60, the new Melee Elementalist mod, Lasting Sting, Amalgam Organ Shatters, CO. Because it condenses all future status DOT in one attack, it synergize with Lasting Stings and it goes absolutely bonkers as long as you proc one or two Slash or Heat. I think it rivals the Glaive at the moment in sheer damage lmao.

[@A_Game_Zone]

Remember, we also have expedite suffering, the ability version of harmony.

[@ShinGetsu857]

I believe Expedite suffering only works on Slash and Toxin procs.

[@Seoul_Soldier]

Heirloom Ember is going to make so much money.

[@tsukiikuroo8259]

I think they can earn way more than from mag and frost heirloom set. The set back then upset nearly the whole community, f2p players can't touch it because it was unable to be purchased with plat, and those who were willing to pay also missed the set because it was time limited. Warframe focuses on collecting gears, and clearly that skin set didn't pair well with the overall gameplay.

[@MorteWulfe]

Honestly the biggest problem with WoF was visually taking over the screen for the entire squad. I have noticed over the years that the frames which show they are making kills visually are more likely the ones people bitch about...

[@SeventySixSins]

@MorteWulfe that was why I always had my energy black lol

[@lag00n54]

that or just put some Purple shard withouth the need for equilibrium for Ember i didn't put equilibrium cuz lacked space so I just put her 4th augment which just increases energy drop rate but ye does suck that I FORMA'D HER EXILUS TO FIT PRIME SURE FOOTED it is what it is

[@fasihzubair481]

People aren't talking about this much which is fair enough, but the enemy health being increased significantly (to balanced out the decrease in armour they gave them) really screws ember up. Before she could kill SP lvl 150 corrupted lancers with just precision intensify and archon vitality, but now she gets them to about 10% hp with the initial DoT. The rings can now proc heat and finish them off, but she falls off significantly earlier on endless missions as a result. I feel like DE should compensate some damage based abilities on frames that have built in armour strip to balance out their damage in comparison to pre jade shadows.

[@Vermazing]

This is so beautiful to here and see! I have always played ember and now i can go all out! thanks for the vid

[@kevindetwieler9212]

I'm very happy with her changes. It was nearly impossible to keep her 2 from draining all my energy even with full efficiency. I didn't play her much because of that, but now she's in a much better playable state. I like thermal sunder on her; I may build one for myself. You could swap out primed flow for archon flow and get more energy drops from the frozen enemies.

[@Back2Bay6]

Just started playing again after a few months break and am so happy. Ember Prime was the first Prime I ever chased farming up, and after her initial rework I didn't really enjoy her anymore. Loving having her back in the rotation again for content above level 100.

[@coachjones6705]

I miss the old World on Fire Ember. She used to be my favorite frame.

[@chloekaftan]

Do you miss her insane energy drain that came with it? I sure dont. I'd much rather have it as it is now and just pull mobs with nautilus to nuke them. Sure its a bit less brainless than the old system, but at least that energy cancer is gone.

[@XCAL1BR0]

I found Arcane Blessing and Healing Flame to be overkill for Ember's survivability. Just between Archon Vitality you put on for the 2nd effect, immolation which never runs you dry on energy anymore, and adaptation - there's enough survivability on her to comfortably tackle all content. So in place of Healing Flame I put fireball augment (not using any subsumes for now) and the 2nd augment is flexible for whatever. Last mission I wanted to focus on melee, so I used arcane strike. Overguard can replace Primed Sure Footed tho, if you can keep it up. Unfortunately the amount generated is as miserable as Frost's augment was before they added the armor scaling. If they boost the generated overguard somehow - I'd certainly keep it as must-have and drop adaptation since it doesn't work on overguard anyway.

[@chillax319]

When I'm back to Warframe I'm sure to play around as Ember. Her skin/s were always some of the best especially her prime version to me so it's good to see her back and changed. Running around setting things on fire wasn't exactly exciting despite how effective it was during survival infestation missions.

[@Did_No_Wrong]

I'm still waiting for Pablo to at last give Valkyr the same treatment. She is so.......outdated.

[@damienhine1861]

[@ethanallan1254]

what do you think about putting arcane ice storm on the sunder build to get more strength and duration?

[@yungap3x385]

Question? have you ever thought of taking out equilibrium for a purple archon shard? I feel like it would free up an extra mod slot.

[@Ssecave]

A lot of frames struggles with purple shard because you need to sacrifice a red one (either 10/15% strength or duration). Ember doesn't need a lot of strength and duration so She's one of the few where a tau forged archon shard (or 2 basic ones) is a good deal !

[@RossKyle95]

She’s also one where you’d want the full equilibrium , if anything exothermic is more flex than the mod , my questioning is the use of arcane blessing when ember has more shield eHP and also they are using overguard generating augment anyways

[@MisterPuck]

That's an interesting Ember build you've got there, it'd be a shame if someone were to... permanently borrow it.

I've been playing her a lot! She's so much fun right now. I'll have to give Thermal Sunder a shot. Never occurred to me to try it. I'm still sorting out her energy regen, still using Energize, along with Archon Stretch and my trusty Grinneer bagpipes. Man, is she ever fun now.

Thermal spreading cold and causing blast with her heat is really worth looking at.

[@Itri_Vega]

I got my ember right after world on fire was removed so I never got to experience her in what I hear were her halcyon days but I've always enjoyed using her. Seeing her get buffed was nice. I did not vibe with everything in this update as the big plot twist in the quest wasn't for me but purely gameplay wise I am enjoying both ember and jade.

[@Roland3ld]

Ember was my favourite warframe since 2014 until I think around the time that Sevagoth came out. The only thing that could push me off of playing her a Gloom-Saryn build that I still use for almost everything. Here's hoping I can make Ember my main again.

Great video once more tater! Bit off topic here, but what energy colours were you using on your Ember? 😁

The changes are quite nice i fire off fire blast the moment it I have max immolation and the ability for it to hit people on a different level than you is amazing. She might have the best crowd control in the game. He fireball is actualy useful now and th augment for it is just a better shocktrooper. the energy drain for immolation being reduced was the biggest thing tho. Now you can actualy use the ability without being one step from death. I paired it with clips for even more dr and it’s quite nuts how tanks she can get.

[@Moona.S]

So how I play as Ember - I have replaced her fireball for Breach Surge. Aperantly 3 and 4 counts as heqdshots which triggers those little things go off and hunt for enemy heads, resulting in ridiculous numbers lol Also I have 5 red tauforged shards on her, all going into extra power str.
