Emberstrike is a Tier 4 (
) 
Unit of the Fire faction. This common card was released with the Twilight Edition and has no affinity variants, nor a promo version.
In Skylords Reborn this card is available to all players as a starter card.
This card has been changed already, compared to its original appearance in BattleForge.
A very versatile creature. The Emberstrike is powerful and cheap, but its counter type and size make it seldom seen.
Lore
Legend
| We watched it fall and fall, slashing the sky with red light, twinkling magnificently,a jewel of the heavens on its majestic descent to the earth. The villagers around me oohed and aahed, holding up their children to witness the glory of light and sound that marked the star's descent, gasping as it finally struck the ground. As we reached the impact site everyone was already whispering of star-faeries, heaven-gold and of course quarreling about whose wishes were to be fulfilled first. But when something stirred in the sea of molten rock where the fire had hit the earth, as IT finally rose in a wake of flames, the villagers very soon discovered that this faerie had but a single wish to grant... |

Thanks to its forgiving power cost and versatile orb arrangement, this card can be incorporated into many decks. Its combat proficiency is well suited to an expendable frontline bruiser, putting out a great deal of harm before being killed.
Summoning them in the middle of a fight can be useful thanks to Fiery Birth.
Campaign PvE
Emberstrikes combat strength makes them ineffective at defeating large, powerful creatures like the 
Bandit Soulhunter or the 
Twilight Hulk on their own, but in numbers they can put up a fight.
Fire Lance allows them to engage foes like the 
Bandit Windhunter and 
Twilight Creep without being helpless.
