Where these rankings come fromThe weapon order, gear sets and Potential verdicts on this tab are prydwen.gg’s, measured in play and condensed to a sentence each. Relative damage figures are ratios against the bottom of each ranking, not absolute numbers, and each one holds only for the Potential and team its row states. Everything else (base stats, skill text, material totals) is read from the game’s own data.

CoreLYNX
LYNX raises Ember's healing output and gives her and the team a strong defensive three-piece bonus plus extra energy for faster Ultimates, though maxing sustain isn't the only way to build her.
3PC3-piece set effect: Wearer's HP Treatment Efficiency +20%. After the wearer gives HP treatment to an allied target, that target also gains 15% DMG Reduction against all types of DMG for 10s. If the said treatment exceeds the target's Max HP, the target gains 30% DMG Reduction against all types of DMG. The aforementioned effects cannot stack.

★ Worth pullingThis Potential raises Ember's Protection effect from 50% to 70% and lets it linger briefly after a Combo or Battle Skill hit, helping her survive in teams chasing her Battle Skill's extra Stagger, but it does little elsewhere.

Ember FAQ
- What attribute is Ember?
- Ember is a 6-star Heat operator of the Defender class, from Order of Steel Oath, wielding a Great Sword, released in version 1.0.
- What stat does Ember scale on?
- Ember's skills multiply ATK. That is read from the scaling rows on the Battle Skill and Ultimate, not from the skill description, so it reflects what the game actually multiplies rather than what the text mentions.
- What is the best weapon for Ember?
- Thunderberge is the closest fit on the data: it is a 6-star Great Sword with 495 base ATK at level 90, and its skills act on ATK. Industry 0.1 is the best 4-star alternative.
- Which gear set should Ember use?
- LYNX. Its 3-piece effect is: 3-piece set effect: Wearer's HP Treatment Efficiency +20%. After the wearer gives HP treatment to an allied target, that target also gains 15% DMG Reduction against all types of DMG for 10s. If the said treatment exceeds the target's Max HP, the target gains 30% DMG Reduction against all types of DMG. The aforementioned effects cannot stack. The 3-piece effect is the only set bonus a gear set has, and it needs three matching pieces; an operator equips four in all (Armor, Gloves and two Kits), so the fourth is free for an off-set piece.
- How much does it cost to max Ember's skills?
- Taking one combat skill from level 1 to 12 costs 172,200 T-Creds and 21× Blighted Jadeleaf among other materials. The Materials tab lists every item per level.
- What does Ember P1 do?
- Nomadic Fort: Talent Inflamed for the Assault improved: Protection effect +20%; hitting an enemy extends the duration by 1.5s.
