So you just randomed Ember Spirit and you only have sixty seconds to learn how to play Ember Spirit. What will you do? Never fear: this is DotA in :60.
Ember Spirit is a han mu kwan shihan (that's martial arts teacher to you and me) and the Sun Tzu of Dota 2.
He's got four flamboyant powers, lighting up a match with "Flame Retardant" -- a sneaky pair of fiery restraints that prove if a man can't move, he can't fight.
Wait for it... "Yipe!" Whaaassssuuupppp!
To pass along his encyclopedic knowledge of all things combustible, "Fireside Chat" is an opportunity to sit down with his kohai to make sure his words are burned into their minds.
Ulti-time! "Burning Grasshopper" is the one move the master never teaches his students.
With "Fire Retardant" you can save yourself using an escape fire, with "Yipe!" you can make it home in time for dinner, with "Fireside Chat" you can build your camp on death ground, and with "Burning Grasshopper" you can drop in for a private lesson.
So what about items?
He's quite the showman -- help him to stun.
He ends it quickly -- think crit chance.
Most popular items? Who knows? Start with boots and a Yasha, then work your way up to double Crystalis or swap in a Skull Basher because the longer they stay around, the hotter the show gets.
Thanks for watching this video, good luck in your match, mid start with the Yipe, off start with the chains!
