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).

Warframe focuses on collecting gears, and clearly that skin set didn't pair well with the overall gameplay.

My queen, still my most played warframe and my first prime soooo many years ago.

I had no idea about this... gonna have to revisit her. (and the build xD)

Exciting. Ember was my first prime, and I've missed playing her. Even if I still miss world on fire, her rework was pretty cool, but I couldn't make it work at higher levels before. Maybe now it has a better chance.

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

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.

She is frame I never bothered to learn but this has me tempted

give me that extra adaptation mode , hahahah

Oh I wasn't understanding what that new % icon was but it's pretty intuitive. Glad there's an overheat indicator now instead of "ok ok f f f f f it's capped omg my energy"

I remember when Ember was the most played frame 😂

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.

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

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.

Hahaha, i finally see the influence of the fashion style i created about four years ago in a youtuber's video, hell yes lets go.

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

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.

Me a rare Ember main since I started the game - she used to be good, she was fucking amazing and now she's the firey goddess I fell in love with. Love my fire girl

My mainframe waifu Ember is about to captivate hearts once again with the upcoming changes and new skin.

I really wanna see that kompressa build 😵‍💫

I'm glad they have improved Ember a bit. She is one of my favorite frames, but she has been hard to use in any difficult content for a while

She was my main for the regular star chart but felt to squishy for higher level content so I put her away. Now that healing flame provides over guard, we’re back in business! Having a ton of fun with Ember right now 🤙

its time to buy that skin when it comes out

After testing her out again recently I am less reluctant to take her into steel path now.

I'm an Ember expert and this changed damn near nothing for me

Ember is actually good now ? Man I have wanted to play her for so long, but she's never been quite up to snuff, decent but held back. Might have a reason to get her Heirloom skin, now.

I use thermal sunder on Frost and Harrow....even after the helminth nerf. I'll try this Ember....looks like a Blast...lol.

Jade and Ember: Goddesses of destruction

Great assets

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.

ember was good before but like.. shes so much more now. like. my god the energy alone, and over guard. holy crap I replaced her fire ball with breach surge, and that is still good now.

Hey potato, how do you build your kompressa to do so well? Curious cause it's always a gu I've had an interest in

@mclanerutledge7140

Ай бұрын

@@ashleywalker6931 lmk if you find out please!

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.

Blueprint at the foundry, some hour left to go and im testing the fire girl

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.

Fashion question: how did you make the flames look this way? I can never seem to paint things black D:

Now Ember is giveing another meaning of”Too Hot For You” or “Too Hot To Handle”

Haven't tried her yet... With that rework, maybe I need to start playing her again. Since I mostly want to do steel path, I tend to avoid frames which do not do well in that mode (and I think many frames die easily in steel path unless you create a crazy combo which I'm generally not a fan of because they tend to get nerf rather quickly)

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.

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 !

i haven't played warframe since her LAST rework

i still miss world on fire, imagine if you could combine the current meteor shower with that and have passive meteor rain. still, i think after this update shes actualy usable and useful

Was thermal sunder reworked? I noticed the icon is different is it safe to still use in the build you suggested?

Even with the changes Ember seems to be a really spam heavy frame at the moment. I couldn't get away not using streamline and arcane energize. I had to spam fireblast to get enough overguard to survive steel path.

Did the recent update change how durations mods effect stealth? my Loki went from almost a minute of stealth to 30s and my ash lost 10 seconds on his time

I subsumed her 4 for eclipse 98.3% dmg reduction and a gun buffer :) makes sp super ez lol paired with torid ofc

I personally try to abuse healing flame as much as possible, by having the range at 150% minimum, duration at 100% minimum, only modifying strength and efficiency depending on if i want more damage or more overguard. Also heirloom brought a lot of customization to the table imo,

Im so happy these old and previously useless frames get buffed indirectly. It should be norm to keep them all leveled, not forget about them for years
