A highlight video of Ember Spirit played by Miracle created by NoobFromUA.

Early Game: Ember works quite well in the lane against TA because Flame Guard is perfect for removing the defensive Refraction charges. Moreover, TA doesn't have a magical nuke with which to burst down Flame Guard and disable its damage in this way. Miracle fully exploits this, plays aggressively and manages to get a couple of kills on the TA.

Mid & Late Game: Notice how he uses his Remnants aggressively early on to secure kills and snowball, yet later on, he uses them almost exclusively defensively. This is because the later the game goes the more vulnerable he is and having his escape mechanism available helps him minimize his deaths. Dying once or twice and losing the rapiers would have been game-loosing in this situation. Moreover, in late game team fights he rarely fights in melee range and mostly uses only Sleight of Fist to deal damage. This defensive playstyle is what allows his team to stay in the game and eventually secure the victory.
