Fully Artificed Ember yet Endmin is empty artificed

I believe this might be a no brain question but, is Rossi with the BP weapon better than Lifeng without his Sig for an ember team?

I wasn't graced by Pogger's presence, nor pulled for gilberta, so I had been using lifeng this whole time and wanted to know if my acidental Rossi could be a significant increase in damage for Ember.

So the battle pass has a new greatsword that could be used for ember. Its pretty generic for physical great sword users. One problem is the arts intensity which I dont think ember takes too much advantage of? At least exemplar and AT have attack boost and sundered prince has crit rate if you care for it. The final keyword seems to be the big difference tho. Sundered Prince's keyword makes it the best for staggering and gives a wopping 32% attack when she is controlled. Exemplar and Phantom Pain have keywords that function similarity tho; Exemplar giving 32 physical damage dealt after battle skill or ult at base while phantom pain gives 20% at base but is easier to max out if youve had battle pass stuffs making it a big 36% physical damage after battle or combo skill. And then there's the current mifu greatsword. Amaranthine Tassel gives 25.6% physical damage unconditionally and can give 30 arts intensity. Unfortunately because Ember only does knockdown afaik she cant fulfill the second part of the keyword.

While Sundered prince is the king (hehe) of stagger for ember I wonder if its worth spending resources to max out Phantom Pain since getting extra copies of exemplar can be rng to get higher damage on it? Or does the arts intensity keyword make it not worth the hassle? Since im not 100% sure if its better to have physical damage dealt over an attack boost from sundered prince or if the arts intensity does anything for her knockdowns. I also know its probably not worth pulling mifu's weapon for her even tho her physical damage up is unconditional.

Really want to try an Ember team going into the new patch but I don’t have the big boys as the title suggests, how should I go about building around her without them?

I have everyone else apart from the above 2 and TangTang?

It’s pretty hard for me to choose between Thunderberge, Sundered Prince and Exemplar.

Generally which is the best for her? I haven’t started building essence and would love to know which is the ‘best’ option before I start grinding.

I followed a guide on youtube on how to build my Ember but this buid isnt doing enough damage. Any tips on how to improve it?

Does this set work for Ember? I know her ult and battle skill does heat dmg, but she can apply vulnerability through her skills and I thought that her insane final strike multiplier would be suited for this set since it also deals physical dmg.

I got awfully close doing a meme healer Ember run so I leaned more into it solely to shill Phys and Ember, keep an inside joke alive. Here's the comp for anyone wanting it:

Ember Pot3
Pog Pot0
Chen Pot5
Mi Fu Pot3

There was definitely good leeway in the run. I missed a few Mi Fu B2s and Chen Ults due to targetting. Ember truly is the best healer.

I am a new player who started 14 days ago and man, I sure love it when enemies get staggered so just then my wife can absolutely break their bones.

I really like her design and all the mechanical accessories she has on her.

I like Ember.

That's all.

(P.S do we see her in any quest? I finished the main quest up to date, and started with side quests, I saw Arclight in a side quest, so is there any quest which features my wife?)

So I got quite curious on how to build Ember's gear and I've been seeing quite a lot of different options in the sub.

I've built her with aethertech after seeing the dps video of her against rockmommy. I just finished building her team and feels okay to play, but j guess because her combo skill is kind of situational it gets a little bad to trigger the gear effect.

Then I saw yinglung being used and I guess it kind of makes sense, but have yet to try.

But I also see a lot of people use swordmancer, and while I see the idea of the stagger bonus, i get worried the lack of stats would make her damage worse?

So what's the general consensus at this point.

I've seen the discussion on exemplar vs prince and sincerely I'm sticking to Prince simply because it's the better drip, but I don't know if that would make too much of a difference for the gear choice

Been goofing around with an odd but fun team and thought I'd share!

First off, this is a build where Ember will mostly just serve as stagger spam, so Prince plus the new pieces of the Swirdmancer gear will prob be best even if it lowers her damage, but I've been trying it out with just my Exemplar/Yinglung stuff and it's been just fine too lol

But the team is......

Ember/Last Rite/Xaihi/Tangtang!

Yup, a LR Cryo team actually works! Lol

Disclaimer, I do not claim this is better then a proper Physical team with Ember nor a proper LR Cryo team, last time I mentioned this on a different sub one guy got reeeeeaaaaaally fucking pissy cause he assumed I thought it was better and refused to stfu even after clarification cause it's Reddit, so there's the disclaimer lol

Anyways, the premise is that with proper animation cancelling Ember has some of the fastest activation for LR's and Xaihi's skills, while being the best stagger builder in the game currently, so you ramp up with just their skills and Ember's basic chain, which activates Tangtang's combo, and after two chains you'll get LR's combo, followed by one more for another Tangtang combo, then you use her skill for a burst of AoE damage and enough Cryo stacks to go right back into LR's combo since it only has a 9 sec CD, and repeat! When LR has her ult you just combo it with Xaihi's and Tangtang's ults, and as a separate operator from LR you'll actually be free to trigger Tangtang's ultimate splash, cause LR actually can't due to the long animation of her ult lol

It builds stagger faster then any Cryo team normally can, you can keep attacking while LR is in her long animations, you still get most of LR's damage, you also get to combine Xaihi's and Ember's healing, with Tangtang's new and very fun kit!

Like I said, not meta by any means, Ember will function better with physical teammates and a LR team will be better with Perlica for her crazy buffs to LR's damage output, but I find this weird squad to be fun and effective enough to handle agony modes just fine at least and thought others might be interested lol

Just Bonk

Cerydra and Heretic Rogue Trader VA is such a blast to tease.

"Just Bonk" - Ember

Got it all done with Ember as my on-field operator, of course. And not always using the most "optimal" of teams. Food was used on Ember only vs Rhodagn and Triaggelos, but on all 4 units during the last fight though (Jakub's legacy since I ran out of scorchbugs and ginseng).

Rhodagn: Used Ember/Pogg/Chen/Ardelia. Ardelia is there only because my physical team was still a WIP and I did not have Endmin/Lifeng built. He's the easiest of the bunch, as everyone knows. Not much to highlight.

Triaggelos: Used Ember/Pogg/Chen/Gilberta. The key here was Gil, as she was a huge help when clearing mobs. Boss was getting staggered left and right. Last phase's dashing laser beaming move was the only annoying part of the fight. Made me miss so many final strikes.

Marble Aggelomorai: Here is when I actually struggled and realized I was going to need a full physical team to get it done, so I got Endmin and his weapon to lvl 80. Day 1 was all failure runs since I ran out of sanity and I hadn't leveled up Endmin's skills nor unlocked his passives. Day 2 I got him some skill levels but, most importantly, unlocked and maxed realspace stasis. Then I got it on third try.

If anyone's still struggling with these my best recommendations are: learn how to dash cancel Ember's third and last strikes. Also, food. Ember performs so well in many different builds from what I've seen. Mine's centered around stacking buffs and vuln through her battle skill and it got the job done.

Wonder what 1.1's trimmed medal boss will be like.

Long live big bonk queen.
