    By Michel Z2022-06-03 00:00:00

    Ember is a Khajiit Sorcerer Companion that will be added to The Elder Scrolls Online with the release of this year's new Expansion – High Isle. Ember's unique skills focus on Shock Damage, Protection, and Heals. What is more, her perk – Ember's Intuition, assists with stealing. She can fulfill the roles of Magicka DPS and Healer with great success, but she can also play as a Tank or Stamina DPS. 

     

    If you want to make Ember a powerful Companion and help you in combat, please don't miss this guide. Your old friend, ArzyeL Gaming, shows you different builds for the various roles you want Ember to be.
