I have very little to say about Ember. She was a frame I never really played much. By the time I graduated from CC to tanks and finally into DPS, I jumped straight into Saryn and Mesa with all the mods and arcanes I had. I do remember the old days when World on Fire (her old 4) was the easy mode map cleaner, and her passive required her to set herself on fire with map hazards!

I love Ember, she's got it all. Energy economy with the augment that makes her #4 generate orbs, high damage reduction with #2, armor strip with #3 and all the fire going on... She's good all around (well, unless you go for high lvl corpus missions) The resource management is satisfying and the rework was a huge success IMO.
Her #1 is the only outlier that seems kinda boring and useless, I tried replacing it with nidus's larva to group enemies together for her #4 but it has such a short pathetic range by default lol, and its even less useful nowadays with all the CC-immune eximus units running around.
Ember was my first frame other than the starter excalibur.
I still, wasn't understanding how the game worked.
I just assumed that because it wasn't the starter frame it would just be better at everything (a noob thought). And well I wasn't that wrong, but not for the right reason.
Tho even if I have used here a bit, I quickly learned that I could farm warframes from some boss fights, and so got rhino. I dokn't remember exactly the timing of all this.
Now mr32, I have may warframe, few are modded and ready... And ember prime is... Just there with a pile of dust waiting to get out for some low level content where I won't use equinox.
She was my favorite back before they changed her. Her fourth was called something to the effect of ‘world on fire’ and flames would just spawn within a radius that was way too generous. Overextended and other range mods combined with efficiency builds and you’d be able to run a mission seeing maybe 20 living enemies and the boss
I miss embers world of fire, it was great. I don't like the new comet one.
I haven’t played her since the new one was implemented. She was in my top 5 now she’s bottom 10
I tried, but she's just so very meh now. Damage is pitiful, CC is almost non-existant, she's squishy, just no redeeming qualities. She's the worst thing you can be in Warframe, boring.
It’s so sad, really. From an epic glass support to a paper mache echo of what she was
Ember is my go-to frame. The immolation skill means it can be quite tanky, and the armor strip from fire blast helps kill tanky enemies.
I used to love Ember before the rework (world on fire) for mindless, easy clearing. Now I love Ember for the guage management mechanic of immolation
Ember is actually much better than people give her credit for atm, obviously a lot of players are still in the reminiscence of the old World on Fire, but we now have Gyre for that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Her 1 is the subsume slot, use whatever you like. I use Condemn for shieldgate, but every other meta abilities work as well, choose your poison.
Her 2 costs 0 zero energy to cast and maintain when it’s between 50% and 89%. The percentage rise steadily, or rapidly after you cast her 4. You can drop the percentage by 20 and slow it back down by casting her 3.
Her 3 armor strips enemies and can be casted in rapid succession to quickly full strip enemies, lower the percentage on the 2, or crowd control.
Her 4 would be your main source of damage after armor stripping the entire map. The augment provides a healthy energy regen.
Essentially what you’ll do is cast 2, then cast 3 or 4 depending on the percentage or the amount of armor remaining on the enemies. Cast 1 whenever appropriate according to your personal preference of subsumed abilities.
The only issue I’ve encountered is that her armor strip doesn’t work on acolytes and bosses, other than that, I think she’s sitting at a very nice place in the current meta.
Edit: added my current build, swap out Power Drift for PSF if you prefer that. The arcanes are Energize and Molt Augmented.
