“…Heavy flamethrower, burning enemies out with a high-temperature mixture, from which neither physical nor energy shields will save. Effective only in close combat…” – in-game description
Introduction
The Ember is a close-range (up to 350 meters) heavy special weapon.
Strategy
This flamethrower weapon is the heavy counterpart of the light Blaze and medium Igniter.
The Ember is a special weapon. It is special due to the fact it's the heavy weapon that can bypass both built-in or mounted energy shields (excluding Aegis and Absorber), as well as bypass and damage physical shields. This is a dangerous weapon due to its very high DPS, and the fact that its flames act as both explosive (splash) and plasma (energy) projectiles.
Although the Ember is a powerful weapon, a major drawback is that the Ember's firing speed, compared to other weapons, is very slow, which makes it struggle against fast robots. Dashing and jumping are very effective ways of dodging the Ember's flames. However, with the proper skill, a player can still hit fast robots by anticipating the movement of the enemy robot, leading the projectiles right into the enemy.
This weapon has perfect synergy with either the Blaze or the Igniter, but also can work well with Orkans, due to the splash damage effect and similar projectile speed, or Tarans, as they share the same maximum range.
