Ember covers the team with a shield and heals on top of it, making her one of the strongest pure-survivability picks available. Her skill and combo both apply Knockdown, so she doubles as a Crush starter for physical teams, and because she doesn't touch Arts application, she fits into Arts-based comps too without stepping on anyone's toes.

She's especially worth running in the game's harder content, where that mix of healing and shielding matters most.

Pairs well with: Mi Fu; Chen Qianyu.

Description

"Awaiting command."

Ember was an Oathkeeper Knight from the Northern Desolation who served a military organization known as the Order of Steel Oath.

Guided by her commitment to the Final Tribulation, she visited the Civilization Band before accepting an invitation to join Endfield Industries.

As a veteran who spent years on the battlefield, Ember is not skilled in conversing with others.

However, if someone starts talking about combat techniques with Ember, she will give earnest descriptions of her experiences and the battles she fought.

Nevertheless, these "experiences" sound like wild stories to most.

"My blade is cast and honed by the Northern frost.

As a young orphan, Azrila was taken in by the Order as a squire.

She spent what remained of her childhood in the Order’s camps, training relentlessly in the frozen desolation of the Northern Frontier.

For three consecutive years, she was able to reach the finals of the Steel Oath Annual Tourney—a feat few could achieve.

During a critical engagement on the Northern Front, the 7th Cohort of the Order of Steel Oath unexpectedly lost contact, resulting in a major crisis for the Order.

The loss of the 7th, responsible for guarding the rear supply line, threatened the stability of the entire front.

Despite concerns over her inexperience, Azrila was tasked with leading a relief force to rescue the remnants of the 7th Cohort.

Leading her unit through the relentless northern rains, Azrila assessed the situation and determined that the 7th Cohort had likely already been annihilated.

She redirected efforts toward responding to distress signals from the 5th Cohort, unaware that the Aggeloi had developed the ability to mimic human voices.

This deception led Azrila and her unit into a devastating ambush.

The ensuing battle resulted in catastrophic casualties, including the loss of Azrila's adjutant, Nilla.It is implied that Azrila and Nilla were close friends, based on the level of trust that they had with each other.

Nilla is mentioned in the backstory for the weapon Cerulean Resonance.

Azrila barely survived. She was found unconscious after the battle and remained unresponsive for ten days.

When she finally woke up, she could only recall the voices of her fallen comrades, haunted by their final calls for help.

Guilt consumed her, and on the twentieth day of her recovery, she renounced war, declaring herself unworthy of the battlefield.

She thus embarked upon a self-imposed exile and left the Order of Steel Oath.

Following her departure from the Order, Azrila accepted an invitation to join Endfield Industries.

When asked to provide a codename, she hesitated before writing Ember.

Her time with the Order left her disciplined and unwavering in her duties.

She executed her assignments with near-fanatical precision, as if seeking redemption for past failures.

However, her rigid habits raised concerns among her peers—she often slept on the floor and left her dorm room barren, struggling to adapt to Endfield’s culture.

When asked, she simply explained, "Beds in the south are too soft."

In an effort to adjust, Ember slowly began personalizing her room.

Among her few belongings was a tattered leather-bound booklet titled Oaths.

Though she has left the battlefield behind, the weight of her past still lingers—one day, she may find herself returning to the north and confronting the very memories she has fought so hard to keep at bay.

Ember's signature weapon is Great Thunder Mark (大雷斑).
