- When Ember is affected by Fortune`s End, his Fire Remnants move at 0 movement speed.
- Disarming him with Fate`s Edict does affect Ember`s Sleight of Fist ability, possibly making him useless for a few seconds in the late game without a purge or magic immunity. This is especially good if he has a rapier or two. Be that as it may, positioning for this is difficult when Ember plays far back.
