The fiery Ember Spirit is a hot pick in the recent meta due to the buff to his spells. His sharp blades cut and burn deep into his enemies, his damage is undoubtedly lethal and there is no way around it if you do not stop this beast quite early on in the game.

A pure mid-matchup against most typical mid-heroes favors the Ember Spirit due to his lethal damage.

5. Nisha Build
Nisha’s stellar and relentless performance on Secret shook everyone last International when he managed to place 2nd with Team Secret. Ember Spirit is a hero you may see him play often as it fits the bill of a mid-hero. Nisha is highly successful in converting his early-game aggression into late-game success. Nisha takes advantage of that by building items that allow him to destroy enemies while also sustaining himself in the game. This build may look highly risky on paper but is one of the best if tried out in the game due to its damage and spellcasting potential.
Nisha enjoys the early-game sustain build which allows him to sit back and dish damage without worrying about his HP or mana. He focuses on fighting early on in the game and rotating to other lanes to secure them, ensuring his teammates aren’t lacking behind. He also loves purchasing situational items like Aeon Disk which is exceptional against heroes that he is facing, providing him with decent sustain throughout the game.
