A Support Who Increases Ally Survivability
Ember is a support unit who increases ally survivability with the Shield from her Ultimate and healing from her Combo Skill. She especially shines when exploring maps with many troublesome enemies or in high-difficulty stages.
Ember Strategy Guide
Heas Through Combo Skill When Taking Damage
When the character you're controlling takes damage, you can activate her Combo Skill, which is useful because you can deal damage while recovering HP. The more you increase the secondary stat, the more you will heal.
Effective For Quickly Taking Down Enemies in Basic Encounters
Ember has a healing effect on her Combo Skill, so she can reduce the risk of taking damage. Therefore, if the enemy's damage output is low, it's also possible to intentionally take damage instead of dodging and make use of her Combo Skill more frequently.
Her Ultimate Provides Shield
Ember's Ultimate can grant a Shield to all allies while attacking. The higher Ember's HP, the stronger the Shield's durability will be, so increase her HP by improving the Main stat Strength.
