Warframe Ember Build Guide - How to Obtain, Craft, and Best Builds

The Queen of Flames, Ember, is a versatile warframe that can be extremely tanky while also having an excellent damage output. She shines especially with Status weapons and even has potential for auto-healing, making her a great asset in battle.

Her Prime version also displays higher shields and armor, as well as an additional polarity. However, right now Ember Prime is unobtainable until the Vault brings her back, so you may need to roam around the Trade Chat in case you want to obtain her blueprints.

Use as many Forma on them as you see fit to achieve the desired build, and you'll be good to go!

• Flow
• Natural Talent
• Augur Secrets
• Streamline
• Continuity

This is a pretty balanced build. The idea is to cast Immolation before anything else, which will greatly protect you, and then use your abilities to build up the heat keeping the shield up, until you can release it with Fire Blast if needed. Inferno will clear areas really quickly, and by the use of the Healing Flame mod, Fire Blast will also heal you. Throw Natural Talent for a better casting time, and you’re set for success.
