A Support Who Increases Ally Survivability
Ember is a support who enhances ally survivability through Shields from her Ultimate and healing from her Combo Skill. She provides top-class defensive capabilities among all characters, significantly boosting team survivability.
Ember Strategy Guide
Basic Rotation
- Heal with a Combo Skill when hit
- Attack while taking enemy hits with a Battle Skill
- Apply a Shield to all allies with her ultimate
Heal with a Combo Skill When Hit
Ember's Combo Skill can be activated when the active character is hit. It provides significant healing to the active character, so she can quickly get you out of a pinch. This makes her an effective healer in various team compositions.
Inflicts Knock Down With Her Combo Skill
Her Combo Skill can also inflict Knock Down. It can be used by intentionally taking an enemy hit to activate the Combo Skill and build up Vulnerable.
Attack While Taking Enemy Hits With a Battle Skill
Ember's Battle Skill makes her leap high into the air and slam her sword down, dealing Heat DMG. If she is hit by an enemy attack during the animation, the Stagger Meter damage she deals will increase, so timing it with an enemy's attack allows you to Stagger them more quickly.
Watch Her HP
Thanks to her Talent, Ember gains interruption resistance and damage reduction during her Battle Skill, but she cannot completely nullify enemy attacks. Since she will still take some damage, be careful when her HP is low.
Apply a Shield to All Allies With Her Ultimate
Ember's Ultimate simultaneously attacks and applies a Shield to all allies. While the Shield is active, flinching and knockback are nullified, allowing you to attack while ignoring enemy hits.
| Tips! | The Shield's durability scales with Ember's HP. Make sure to build Strength to increase her HP. |
