Ember is a nightmare for light-armored targets. Ember can super-heat the air which opens up surprising crowd-control possibilities.

This is Ember, destructive and deadly.

Ember's presence on the battlefield is devastating. Mind the heat, Tenno.

—Lotus

Release Date: October 25th, 2012

Radiant starfire light our worlds ablaze. Igneous as the burning sun, Ember's fiery rage engulfs her foes and scatters their cinders in the solar wind. Empress of elemental flame, scorch the land with her wildfires. Control her fury or fuel the heat to unleash destructive incineration, leaving charred corpses and ashes adrift in her scarlet sea. Ember's flame first sparked in Vanilla and reignited in Update 26.0: The Old Blood.

Trivia

Ember is the fourth Frame to have a Prime, after Excalibur, Frost, and Mag.
As seen from concept art and beta game footage, Ember was originally male. Ember was changed to a female in Update 5.3.
Ember is based around the Phoenix and Vermilion firebirds as can be seen by the naming of the helmets and deluxe skin, and the way the feet are designed like bird claws.

Edit Tab

“Market forces dictate that you need to evolve or die.”

Ember Prime is Vaulted.

The Void Relics for this item have been removed from the drop tables at this time and are no longer farmable. Vaulted Void Relics in player inventories are not affected and can still be opened.

CODEX

Three figures waited behind a simple table. Their attention on a single chair, bathed in light. An old woman's voice from the shadow: 'Send her in'. Across the room a security officer, stern and plain, opened the door. The outline of a young woman appeared at the door. She hesitated, but only for an instant, then crossed the room and sat.

There was a gasp as the light hit her face. Her right eye was bright and blinking, but her left was a greasy slit. Her skin had been burned moon-white. Her mouth was a sagging gash without lips or expression. Her military beret was pulled snug over a scarred and hairless scalp.

The old voice: 'Your name is Kaleen.' Kaleen nodded. 'You were the principal investigator of the Zariman?' Kaleen's voice was a jagged whisper, a rigid face. 'Yes.'

Kaleen coughed, straightened: 'The Zariman was lost making the fold from Saturn to the Outer gates. Mechanical failure. I notified families and filled a report with the inspectors. Nothing ever returns from the fold, so I closed the case.'

'But you reopened the case, days later.'

'I didn't believe it myself until I stepped aboard the ship. It was completely intact, full environmental, as if it had never left.'

'And the crew was gone.'

'Not exactly.' Kaleen hesitated. 'We thought it was empty but we began to find...' Her face twitched at remembered pain, 'We began to find children hiding in the ship.'

'And that is when you violated procedure?'

Kaleen bowed her head, a tear welling in her sightless eye. 'They were children. They were afraid. They needed comfort.'

'So you broke quarantine and this happened to you.'

There was silence as Kaleen touched her face, 'So what have you done with them?'

The old woman gestured for the officer to take Kaleen away. The meeting was over. When Kaleen reached the door she twisted out of his grip and shot back, 'Why would you do that? Why did you put children on a military ship?'

'We didn't. That would violate procedure.'

Ember Prime offers the same potential for wanton destruction as Ember but provides unique mod polarities, allowing for greater customization.

Notes

Ember Prime, compared to Ember:
- Higher Shields (125/375 vs. 100/300)
- Higher Armor (150 vs. 125)
- Different Polarities ( vs. )
As a Prime Warframe, Ember Prime possesses a special passive ability where contact with an Orokin Void Death Orb will make them release an energy pulse that grants 250 Energy to all nearby allies. This effect can only occur once per Death Orb, and can occur even if the Death Orb has been previously destroyed.
Ember Prime is the first primed frame to come with only 2 polarized slots, all others come with 3.
- Possesses a and a polarity, compared to Ember's double . Due to the entirely differing base polarities, builds on Ember may not transition as well to her Prime variant without sufficient use of Forma.

Trivia

The golden protrusions on Ember Prime's shoulders are considered customizable Armor parts, and will be removed if any other arm plates are used.
During Archwing missions, the particle effects of Ember Prime's default helmet may disjoint from the helmet if the player is moving fast enough.
As of Update 15.11, Ember Prime is now the fifth Prime Warframe to have a stat boost over the original, having 125 shield and armor as opposed to the 100 of the original Ember.
Prior to Update 26.0, the debris left behind from a World On Fire explosion was golden, as opposed to the regular debris found on Embers default variant.
In Primetime #124, [DE]Megan stated that her all-time favorite Warframe is Ember Prime.

ENERGY: 25 KEY 1	Fireball Charge and release a fiery projectile that ignites enemies on contact.	Strength:150 / 275 / 300 / 400 ( Heat damage on impact) 50 / 100 / 125 / 150 ( Heat area damage)
		Duration:1.5 s (combo window)
		Range:2 - 2.4 m (radius)
		Misc:100% ( Heat status chance on impact) 50% ( Heat status chance in area) 8.0x (combo damage multiplier cap) +1%/s (heat generation rate bonus for Immolation) 2x (Damage multiplier on enemies afflicted by a Heat proc) 100 - 500% (Damage increase on charge)

Ember launches a fiery projectile that inflicts 150 / 275 / 300 / 400 Heat damage on impact with a 100% status chance. The projectile also inflicts 50 / 100 / 125 / 150 Heat damage in a 2 meter area of effect around the target with a 50% status chance.
- All damage is affected by Ability Strength, Theorem Demulcent, and Arcane Arachne.
- The blast radius is affected by Ability Range.
- The combo window is affected by Ability Duration
- Area damage affects the initial target, does not decrease with distance, and can also perform headshots.
- The Heat status procs deal 50% of initial damage on that target per tick.
- The area damage on initial target can trigger a second heat status proc, for 50% of the area damage hit per tick.
Enemies affected by a Heat proc take 2x damage from Fireball.
Casting another Fireball within the combo window multiplies both the initial damage and the DoT by the combo number, doubles the combo counter (with a maximum of 8x) and resets the combo window.
Fireball can be charged before launch.
- Charging Fireball increases its damage by 100 - 500%, in addition to increasing the range to 2.4 meters.
  - Damage increase is affected by Immolation's heat level, and charge level, but not Ability Strength.
  - Damage increase is additive to combo level, and is shown when charging Fireball while above a 2x combo.
- A charge circle will be displayed when charging, showing the progress of the charge.
- A full charge takes 2.5 seconds.
  - Charge rate is affected by mods that increase casting speed (e.g. Natural Talent). The charge rate can be reduced to a minimum cap of 1.5 seconds.
Fireball may be cast multiple times on the same target, with cast stacking its damage over time.
Projectile has flight time and will continue to travel until it hits a solid object or enemy.
Ability Synergy:
- Each cast of Fireball increases Immolation's heat generation by 1% per second.
- Immolation reduces Fireball's charge rate based on the amount of heat stored.
Will not disrupt Shade's cloak.
Casting Fireball is a One-Handed Action that allows the player to perform attacks, movement and parkour Maneuvers.
Has a delay of 0.5 seconds between uses.

Main article: Fireball Frenzy

Fireball Frenzy is a Warframe Augment Mod for Ember that allows Fireball to, instead of charging, be held on cast, creating a wave of energy traveling outward from the user that temporarily grants the caster and nearby allies additional Heat damage to all attacks.

Rank	Heat Damage	Duration	Range	Cost
0	50%	28s	15m	6
1	65%	32s	15m	7
2	80%	36s	15m	8
3	100%	40s	15m	9

Can be used as a cheap form of crowd control.
Modding for high efficiency through the use of Fleeting Expertise can allow for this ability to be spammed, quickly building up the combo multiplier and damage over time.

ENERGY: 50 KEY 2	Immolation Protect Ember with flame armor that burns stronger over time, consuming energy once its meter is at full strength. Cast again to extinguish the flame. Energy Drain at Max Heat: (10 + 0.5t) s^-1 t = time at max heat in seconds	Strength:10-50 / 20-65 / 30-75 / 40-85 % (damage reduction)
		Duration:N/A
		Range:N/A
		Misc:90% (damage reduction cap) 0.5%/s (heat generation per second) +1%/s (heat generation rate bonus from Fireball) -2%/s (heat generation rate reduction from Fire Blast) -50% (total heat removal from Fire Blast) +3%/s (heat generation rate bonus from Inferno)

Ember surrounds herself in a swirling torrent of protective flame that burns stronger with each moment. While immolated, a thermometer appears above the ability icons, gradually rising in temperature. Ember gains 10% / 20% / 30% / 40% damage reduction on cast displayed as a percent (%) next to the thermometer, which scales up to 50% / 65% / 75% / 85% damage reduction at maximum heat. Press the ability key (default 2 ) again to deactivate this ability, expending all stored heat instantly.
- Damage reduction is affected by Ability Strength, and is capped at 50-90%, achievable with a 25% increase in Ability Strength.
  - Damage reduction (DR) is related to the current percent heat (H) by the following formula:
    $DR = H \times Min(0.90,0.85 \times (1 + Ability Strength)) + (1 - H) \times Min(0.50,0.40 \times (1 + Ability Strength))$
  - E.g., with a max rank Intensify and 75% heat Ember's damage reduction would be:
  $0.75 \times Min(0.90,0.85 \times (1 + 0.3)) + (1 - 0.75) \times Min(0.50,0.40 \times (1 + 0.3)) = 0.75 \times Min(0.90,1.105) + (0.25) \times Min(0.50,0.52) = 0.75 \times 0.9 + (0.25) \times 0.5 = 0.8 (80% damage reduction)$
- At maximum heat, Ember drains 10 energy per second, which increases by an additional 0.5 energy per second to sustain Immolation.
  - Energy drain and energy drain growth are affected by both Ability Efficiency and Ability Duration.
  - Energy drain growth is uncapped.
  - While at maximum heat Ember cannot replenish energy using Energy Siphon, Energy Vampire, Rift Plane's energy regeneration, Energizing Dash or Squad Energy Restores, but can replenish energy using Energy Orbs, Orokin Void Death Orb energy restores, Arcane Energize, Rage, and Hunter Adrenaline.
Ability Synergy:
- Immolation's heat generation is affected by her abilities:
  - The following values refer to how full the heat bar is, i.e. 0% means the bar is empty and 100% means it is full; these values are not referring to the damage reduction displayed to the left of the bar.
  - The bar passively fills at a rate of 0.5% per second.
  - Each cast of Fireball increases the rate of heat generation by 1% per second.
  - Each cast of Fire Blast decreases the rate of heat generation by 2% per second, while also removing 50% heat.
  - Each cast of Inferno increases the rate of heat generation by 3% per second.
  - Heat generation is not affected by mods.
  - E.g. after casting Fireball three times, Fire Blast once, and Inferno once, Ember would be gaining $0.5% + (1% \times 3) - 2% + 3% = 4.5%$ heat per second, and the heat bar would take 22.2 seconds to completely fill.
- Immolation reduces Fireball's charge rate and increases the charged version's damage based on the amount of heat stored.
- Fire Blast's enemy armor reduction scales linearly with Immolation's heat level, with 0 percent heat resulting in the minimum value being removed and 100 percent heat resulting in the maximum.
- Inferno gains bonus damage in percent (%) equal to the current Immolation heat level.

Main article: Immolated Radiance

Immolated Radiance is a Warframe Augment Mod for Ember that allows Immolation to affect friendly players within affinity range, reducing incoming damage.

Rank	Shared Damage Reduction	Cost
0	+20%	6
1	+30%	7
2	+40%	8
3	+50%	9

When at max heat quickly cast Fire Blast in order to negate the energy drain for being at full heat.
In order to quickly build up Ember's heat (and the damage reduction that comes along with it) cast Inferno while there are no enemies in rage, increasing heat generation for zero energy cost.
Only 105.8% Strength is needed to reach 90% damage reduction. This is nearly met by having a single enemy affected by a Heat proc within Conflagration's range, providing +5% Strength.

ENERGY: 75 KEY 3	Fire Blast Slam the ground to create a wave of incinerating plasma that knocks back enemies and strips their armor.	Strength:66 / 100 / 141 / 200 ( Heat damage)
		Duration:N/A
		Range:25 m (wave radius)
		Misc:100% ( Heat status chance) 50-100% (armor reduction) -2%/s (heat generation rate reduction for Immolation) -50% (total heat removal for Immolation)

Ember slams the ground, creating a wave of fire that expands outwards to a radius of 25 meters. Enemies in direct line of sight of Ember and within range are dealt 66 / 100 / 141 / 200 Heat damage with a 100% status chance, have their Armor permanently reduced by 50% - 100%, and suffer knockdown and are violently pushed back.
- Damage and armor reduction are affected by Ability Strength, and armor reduction is capped at 50-100%.
- Wave radius is affected by Ability Range.
- The armor reduction affects enemies' current armor and stacks with multiple casts, e.g. two casts at minimum heat (50% armor reduction) will reduce enemies armor to 25%.
Ability Synergy:
- Each cast of Fire Blast decreases Immolation's rate of heat generation by 2% per second, while also removing 50% heat.
- Fire Blast's enemy armor reduction scales linearly with Immolation's heat level, with 0 percent heat resulting in the minimum value being removed and 100 percent heat resulting in the maximum.
Has a cast delay of about 0.7 seconds.
Subsuming Ember to the Helminth will offer Fire Blast and its augments to be used by other Warframes.
- Damage and armor reduction of Subsumed Fire Blast are affected by Ability Strength, while the wave radius is affected by Ability Range.
- Armor reduction per cast is capped at 75% of enemies' current armor, achievable with Ability Strength of 100% at max ability rank.
- Subsumed Fire Blast takes 7 casts to completely strip enemies' armor at max ability rank with 100% Ability Strength or more.

Main article: Healing Flame

Healing Flame is a Warframe Augment Mod for Ember that heals the player for each enemy hit by Fire Blast.

Rank	Healed Amount	Cost
0	10-20	6
1	15-30	7
2	20-40	8
3	25-50	9

Main article: Purifying Flames

Purifying Flames is a PvE and Conclave Warframe Augment Mod for Ember's Fire Blast that causes allies who enter the fire to have debuffs removed and grant them temporary status immunity.

Rank	Status Immunity Duration	Cost
0	1s	6
1	2s	7
2	3s	8
3	4s	9

If using this in conjunction with Inferno to strip armor, cast Inferno first, so that it gets the benefits from high heat, then cast Fire Blast to strip enemy armor, slowing Ember's heat generation.
Cast when at max heat in order to prevent Immolate from draining Energy.

ENERGY: 0 KEY 4	Inferno Command a flaming comet to crash down in front of ember, engulfing enemies with a fire that can spread through their ranks. Energy per target: 10	Strength:1000 / 1500 / 2000 / 2500 ( Impact and Heat meteorite damage) 200 - 400 / 350 - 500 / 300 - 600 / 350 - 700 ( Heat ring damage per second)
		Duration:7 / 10 / 12 / 15 s (ring duration)
		Range:10 / 15 / 20 / 25 m (targeting radius) 5 m (ring radius)
		Misc:10 (energy cost target cap) +3%/s (heat generation rate bonus for Immolation) +≤100% (damage bonus from Immolation)

Ember summons fiery meteorites to descend from above, crashing into all seen enemies within 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 meters. Enemies receive 1000 / 1500 / 2000 / 2500 Impact and Heat damage on hit, becoming surrounded by a ring of fire for 7 / 10 / 12 / 15 seconds which grows to a radius of 5m, and deals 200 - 400 / 350 - 500 / 300 - 600 / 350 - 700 Heat damage per second. Other enemies coming into range of the rings are also set ablaze and inflicted with Heat damage and proc.
- Meteorite damage and ring damage per second are affected by Ability Strength.
- Targeting radius is affected by Ability Range.
- Ring duration is affected by Ability Duration.
- Ring radius is not affected by Ability Range.
- Ring radius growth rate is affected inversely by Ability Duration.
- Energy per target is affected by Ability Efficiency.
- Meteorite impact damage has a distribution of 50% Impact and 50% Heat.
Inferno costs 0 energy to cast. If enemies are within range, it consumes 10 energy per enemy. Energy is consumed for at most 10 targets, for a total of 100 energy.
- Energy cost per target is affected by Ability Efficiency.
Inferno targets all enemies on-screen within range, even if only partially visible.
- Targeting follows camera direction, meaning it is possible to target enemies behind Ember if the camera is facing that way.
- Targets all types of enemies (e.g., mining machines, cameras, and turrets) excluding Void Laser Traps and Void Death Orbs.
Damage from multiple casts does stack.
Ability Synergy:
- Inferno raises Immolation's heat generation by 3% per second per cast.
- Inferno gains bonus damage in percent (%) equal to the current heat level, dealing double damage at max heat.
Can be cast without any targets on screen.

Main article: Exothermic

Exothermic is a Warframe Augment Mod for Ember that gives enemies affected by Inferno a chance to drop energy orbs when killed.

Rank	Orb Drop Chance	Cost
0	5%	6
1	7.5%	7
2	10%	8
3	15%	9

If there are no enemies nearby casting Inferno will cost no energy, but will still increase the rate of heat generation, allowing you to reach max heat quickly.
If you wish to build up heat quickly equipping Fleeting Expertise can be a good idea, as it will allow you to cast Inferno more often. Conversely, if you wish to build heat more slowly equipping Blind Rage would be ideal, as it allows for less, but more powerful, casts of Inferno.
