Thing is people are right, much as I love the frame, the Ember doesn't scale well.

She is decent vs. infested in the late game (as long as she doesn't get grabbed) because her Accelerant, Fire Blast and World On Fire give her some decent CC, and decent damage. Sadly she is easily outmatched in CC by the Vauban, and easily outmatched in damage by the Nova. The combination of those 2 frames has the Ember outmatched in spades.

That being said, if you lob the Ember into that team you get the massive CC of the Vauban, the damage amplification of the Nova and the targetless high damage procs of the Ember all together, and you can potentially get some truly astounding damage being thrown out. I mean amplifying WoF on Molecular Prime? 800 damage (matching the Nova's blast damage for every hit). Amplify that by Accelerants 250% heat boost? 2000 heat damage, nicely followed by the Molecular Prime detonations. You factor in Infested's inherant weakness to heat damage and you don't need to be a math whizz to see where this is going.

Of course if you are going to do this you lose out on the Nekros farm machine or the Valkyr tank.
