How to play
Ember Spirit is an Agility carry who scales into a late-game threat, farming core items and deleting heroes once online. Look to initiate fights — your kit is built to start engagements on your terms. Built-in escape tools mean you can play aggressively and bail when things go sideways. Your disables and utility are most valuable when enabling your cores to land kills.
