[Build] Ember Prime CC and Damage


Ember's been reworked and now she's in demand. Turning WoF into a toggle ability really allowed more slots for other mods. Unfortunately not a lot of ember players know how to use Ember. This Build covers the build plus a short execution guide.

The Build


The build focuses on Range, balancing power, duration and efficiency to ensure that you are at the min energy drain. You may opt to replace Overextend with something else like redirection for higher level enemies so you can deal more damage in a smaller area.

Flow just gives Ember more room for CC especially in the void where energy is abundant to prime frames.

The Aura slot is pretty flexible. you can choose to keep Loot Detector since you will be killing a lot outside of your line of sight (LoS). Another viable and logical option is Corrosive projection especially for a 4 CP team, this Ember build will wreak havoc.


Focus will be on World on Fire (WoF) and Accelerant. Fire Blast will be used for CC, and will be used sparingly.



Reminders


Make sure to use weapons that deal Heat damage in your arsenal. it doesn't have to be purely Heat damage, as long as it deals a substantial amount of Heat damage to work off of your Accelerant. Especially when going against the infested.

Bring a weapon that can kill Nullifiers in their bubble like Sonicor or Simulor (anything that deals AOE damage basically if you are against the Corpus or if you are going to the void.

Execution


For low level enemies, just use WoF and you should be okay. Pop the occasional Nullifier/Corrupted Nullifier bubble when you encounter it. If you spot any Ancient Healers or Mutalist Moa, kill them as they buff the units around them.

Once you notice that multiple enemies are able to get close, start using Accelerant. This will increase your damage. Accelerant also does CC so if you find that you have been swarmed/surrounded/under heavy fire/or similar situations, feel free to use Accelerant and then Fire Blast to knock them back. This is your "panic button". The high energy pool along with max efficiency will allow you to several uses of this while maintaining WoF.

If you need to revive or pop a life support tank, don't hesitate to use your panic button.

Results


This result was from a 60 minute T2 Survival run I found myself in. Up until the 30 minute mark, the build was doing pretty well and was pretty much unmatched by the enemies. After than I found myself shooting more as well as spamming Accelerant. Near the 60 minute mark, all the WoF can kill are the non-heavy units. Sonicor was very helpful with the killing and CC.

I was downed three times and died once (had to revive). It was pretty intense near the 60 minute mark. Accelerant spam and Excalibur's Radial Blind helped when reviving or popping life support tanks.
