@ the first and third lone Tenno: Ember lacks survivability and utility. Once she can't kill enemies fast enough anymore (which is around level 30-40), she falls off greatly because apart from damage she only offers short duration CC. Ember received multiple nerfs over the years (yes, not just the latest WoF change where the range decreases), which is a shame because the ongoing power creep means that the original Ember would be in a good spot now. Reliable CC through WoF (guaranteed knockdown, more targets per tick, no diminishing range and no channel), and the old Overheat ability instead of Accelerant to survive in high level missions (could get over 90% damage reduction).

You might get Ember to work for regular missions in her current state but if you compare her to what she was in the past you will inevitably get sad. The only thing she got better at was nuking medium level enemies due to Accelerant's damage boost - which ironically is the reason why she was nerfed over and over again.
