Info

  • Ember expends EnergyOrb25 Energy to launch a fiery projectile that inflicts AbilityStrengthBuff300 / 500 / 600 / 800 DmgHeatSmall64 Heat damage with a 100% status chance. On impact, the projectile explodes within a AbilityRangeBuff3 meter radius to inflict AbilityStrengthBuff100 / 200 / 250 / 300 DmgHeatSmall64 Heat damage with a 100% status chance.
    • Direct hit can perform Headshots and get the respective damage bonus. The direct hit cannot proc DmgHeatSmall64 Heat status.
    • AOE effect cannot perform Headshots. Can proc DmgHeatSmall64 Heat status.
  • Fireball can be recast within a AbilityDurationBuff1.5 second window to perform a repeating combo chain. Each successive cast in the chain increases combo by 2x to 6x to 8x. (At 8x the damage multiplier is x3.5). This damage increase is not affected by Immolation130xWhite Immolation heat level.
    • For example, a Fireball at x8 combo (x12 during Immolation) while at maximum heat, will deal:
      • Fireball direct damage x Combo + Fireball direct damage x Immolation level = 800 × (3.5) + 800 x (3) = 5200
      • Fireball AOE damage x Combo + Fireball AOE damage x Immolation level = 300 × (3.5) + 300 x (3) = 1950
  • Projectile has flight time and will continue to travel until it hits a solid object or enemy.
  • Ability Synergy:
    • Each cast of Fireball increases Immolation130xWhite Immolation's heat generation by 1% per second.
    • Immolation130xWhite Immolation increases Fireball's damage up to (+≤300%) equal to the current Immolation heat level. From 800 to 2400 on direct hit and 300 to 900 on AOE.
  • Will not disrupt Shade's cloak.
  • Casting Fireball is a One-Handed Action that allows the player to perform attacks, movement and parkour Maneuvers.
  • Has a delay of 0.5 seconds between uses.

Augment

FireballFrenzyMod
Main article: Fireball Frenzy

Fireball Frenzy is a Warframe Augment Mod for EmberIcon272 Ember that allows Fireball130xWhite Fireball to, instead of charging, be held on cast, creating a wave of energy traveling outward from the user that temporarily grants the caster and nearby allies additional DmgHeatSmall64 Heat damage to all attacks.

Tips & Tricks

  • Does not need directly hit the enemy to build combo.
  • Reaches the maximum combo at the 3rd cast.
  • Fireball can be affected by ArcaneArachne Arcane Arachne and Mod TT 20px Vigorous Swap as final multipliers.
  • Can be used as a cheap form of crowd control.
  • Modding for high efficiency through the use of Mod TT 20px Fleeting Expertise can allow for this ability to be spammed, quickly building up the combo multiplier and damage over time.

Bugs

  • The UI minimum damage is incorrect. At 100% Strength, Fireball does 800/300 and 2400/900 at max Immolation.
  • Combo multiplier although it says is x8, is actually x11, increasing the damage by x3.5 at maximum heat.
