Hey everyone, I've been trying to make an ember prime build that is sustainable in high levels. At first, I tried to make her an absolute damage powerhouse. she was, but easily downed even if sacrificing damage potential for things like redirection and vitality.

After the new buff she recently got, I decided to try again. because of her knockback added to floor punch, I decided to attempt a control build that spams her third ability. things like overextended and fleeting expertise, but I learned it's knockback is only worthwhile with high damage. Again,building her in any one direction sacrifices a great deal of her other capabilities.

So I tried again, and now I'm really onto something. I call it the "trust inner fire" build. It simply trusts that her abilities are good enough for late game without modding, which frees up all her mod slots to be used for player skill rather than power stats.. Flow, vitality and vigor, are all added for the same purpose, renewable health and energy between rage and quick thinking. (and a lifestrike weapon) handspring and natural talent make it so you can cast what needs to be cast without being vulnerable for several seconds while standing back up or taking forever to be a space wizard. my last slot is streamline, because she'll be casting like crazy, though if you dont WoF as much as i do, you could go fleeting expertise.

I should also mention that I use this build with a lifestrike build channeling weapon, fast hitting, high damage, in a lunge stance such as tipedo or fang prime, though any weapon you can trust to hit something the very moment you need health will work.

It takes some getting used to in order to protect yourself with her abilities, But give this build a shot, tweak it to your liking. if you make any discoveries pass them on, and hopefully I'll see your ember slaughtering heavies past 40 minutes into a survival mission. Thanks
