  • Higher ranks usually improve the key magnitude or duration of the augment.

Worth the Slot?

  • Skip it for generalist builds if capacity is tighter on survivability or parkour mods.

Mission Usefulness

Mission / ContextRatingWhy
Steel Path Survival / Defense / DisruptionStrongDense missions are where most Ember augments prove whether they belong in the build.
Mobile Defense / ExcavationSituationalWorth it if the augment helps hold or clear the objective faster.
Casual Star-Chart FarmsSituationalOften skippable when base abilities already overkill the content.

Tips & Tricks

  • Read the max-rank text — Exothermic often only feels complete at rank 3.
  • Try one mission with and without it on Ember before locking the slot.
  • If you Helminth over Inferno, this augment usually becomes irrelevant on that loadout.

Notes

  • Compatible with Ember (Ember).
  • Polarity: zenurik; rarity: Rare.
