Ember (Ringed Knight Straight Sword)

Ember is a skill in Dark Souls III.

Description
When activated, the wielder enters a stance which brings the sword up to their side and ignites it, extending its length with fire.

The normal attack will chain up to three different attacks. The first attack will have the wielder swing the sword twice horizontally, from right to left then back. The second attack is similar to the first, only wilder in arc. The third attack will perform a strong clockwise spin. Subsequent attacks will start over again from the first attack.

The strong attack can chain twice. The first attack has the wielder lunge into a powerful thrust with strong forward momentum, while the second attack results in a powerful overhead slam.

Single Player
This skill can give the wielder a strong burst of Fire damage with the attacks, useful against enemies that are weak to the element. Because the Ringed Knight Straight Sword is largely a quality weapon, this gives the wielder the ability to inflict strong Fire damage without investing into caster stats.

Online
This skill provides strong horizontal coverage with the normal attacks, as well as strong chasing power with the strong attacks.

The first two normal attacks are a true combo, allowing the wielder to hit an opponent up to four times. This can be followed up with the strong attack to chase them down as they try to roll away to recover, and has strong roll-catch potential. However, care should be taken when using this skill, as all parts of it can be parried.

Trivia

 * If the skill is used while the weapon is two-handed, the flame will partially clip through the blade, leaving the sword visible. However, if used with a Weapon Skill shield, the flame will completely cover the blade.
