First I will talk about her kit and how it is as it stands now, and after that I will talk about a wishlist of changes that can be done to her. It will be a bit more of a rant.

Passive – it’s bad. It rewards you for applying Heat procs to enemies and punishes you for killing them, since you lose the strength when the enemy dies.

Fireball – it’s absolutely worthless. This ability was bad back in 2013 and somehow has survived three major reworks. I have no idea how.

Augment – Fireball Frenzy – it just gives you Heat that doesn’t combine. Heat is the strongest damaging element in the game, so I guess it’s good.

Immolation – complete joke. 90% DR that has some “synergies” with her other abilities. DR is not useful at all, and it does nothing for her.
Augment – Immolated Radiance – why is this in the game?

Fire Blast – a full armor strip if you have the 2 charged. That’s it, nothing more.

Augment – Healing Flame – the reason the DR is completely useless, and I don’t know how this is not part of the base ability.

Inferno – FOV-based, line-of-sight “nuke”. It’s a complete joke yet again. Damage is atrocious, and the FOV and LOS restrictions make it even worse. I didn’t know that was possible.

Overall she is bad, like really bad. None of her abilities do damage, none of them are useful.

Wishlist:

Passive – make it similar to Garuda’s passive and combine it with the 2, so killing enemies affected by Heat gives you 5% multiplicative Heat damage amp, and at max stacks, so 100%, you gain 90% DR.

1 – give her old Accelerant back. It’s good CC and a good Heat damage buff.

2 – needs something completely new. Maybe something that marks enemies that are affected by Heat and makes AoE explosions per Heat stack. Tbh a lot of things can be done here.

3 – needs the augment to be part of the base ability, and give it back the fire ring. If you or your team pass through it, they get forced Heat procs on their weapons.

4 – for the love of God give us World on Fire back. Of course it will need buffs, because old WoF will deal no damage on SP. Make it so it deals more damage the more Heat procs the enemies have, make it be more damage it deals and make it more aggressive with Heat application. Don’t nerf its range. Now that we have Uriel that nukes 40 meters and applies 500 Heat procs in 4 seconds, I don’t think unnerfed range on WoF will be anything ridiculous.

Ember was my second Prime frame I ever got, back in 2015, when her set cost 1000 platinum. She was my most played Warframe for the longest time, because I enjoyed how simple and not carpal-tunnel-inducing she was, unlike now. She was absolutely gutted for being too good at killing level 30 enemies. It sounded ridiculous then and even more now.
After she got her latest rework, I stopped playing her because I liked to do damage, something she was not good at. And as we can all see, her playrate is dropping year by year. She was only somewhat buffed by her Heirloom skin, but no one actually stuck with her after the novelty of the skins wore off.
I really hope she will receive some love. DE have acknowledged her state, which I guess is a good thing. Time will tell if she will become better or somehow worse.
