The best use for this frame: max range Accelerant spam at max efficiency. U18.5 removed WoF's immunity to Energy Leech Eximus drains (so far no other channeling ability seems to have recieved this nerf) so WoF running is not as worthwhile anymore except speed-running low-level Exterms.

They haven't changed her kit at all since U7's fix for WoF turning off, but really you should build her for durability/speed + spamming Acc. Anything else is worthless, her abilities don't function right/all are too mixed on which power stat they rely on (without a point to maximize any of them), and DE has clearly shown for the past 2 years they have no intention of buffing her. Because the community says she's fine when she's not (Speaking as a 2+ year Ember main since U7) or don't even care because they play Meta frames and think that's all that matters. Augments don't make this okay, especially when 2 of them are broken (firepanic is stupid, fireball frenzy should affect people caught in the AoE, not hitting moving targets, nobody even wants or stands still for it). You could try and build a F.Frenzy setup but nobody would care or think it's useful. You could run Firequake but people whine about you knocking them down. You could be stupid and use fireblast. Or you can be smart and use your guns and stun crowds with Accelerant. And even then maxing the range loses most of it's effect. And worse, the effect is very low. Instead of removing fire resistance, enemies still factor their armor AFTER bonus is applied. So the base WoF + Acc of 1000 dmg still drops to around 200 against armored enemies over level 30.

DE, please, I've been waiting since U7 for you to fix this frame. I've invested 8 formas into my Ember Prime, bought countless skins and no-lifed to MR20 because I like the game. But ffs, fix Ember already. It's not hard.
