Arknights Endfield Ember guide - Strengths, weaknesses, best weapon and gear

• Ember is a Heat 6* Operator
• She is a Defender who uses a Greatsword
• Ember has amazing CC and survivability, but is mainly used in Physical teams

Ember is one of the tankiest characters in Arknights Endfield. She has a kit that grants additional HP restoration and shield to the team. Although she is a Heat operator, she works best with a Physical team due to the nature of her skills.

Personally, I think she has one of the best designs in Endfield, but it's difficult to make her fit into every team. Sadly, aesthetics aren't everything when it comes to beating down enemies.

In this guide, we will take a look at Ember's abilities, strengths, and weaknesses, and we will also see which is the best weapon to use with her.

Team synergy and role

Ember has a very good kit for a Physical team, but sadly not so much for a Heat team. Regardless, she can work in either if you need a lot more tankiness.

• Endministrator (Physical)
• Pogranichnik (Physical)
• Lifeng (Physical)
• Da Pan (Physical)

Is Ember worth using?

As much as I love Ember's design, I think she is very hard to make work in some teams. She is an absolutely outstanding tank in my opinion, and her combo is easy to trigger - however, she needs certain conditions to be met, which is why it's not so easy to fit her with Heat.
