How this matchup plays

Trying to escape with Fire Remnant gets complicated when you're hit by Soulbind. Instead of a clean getaway, Ember Spirit often pulls a core right on top of his destination, turning an escape into a disaster. This makes ganking Ember much simpler than it should be. Beyond his ultimate, Grimstroke’s Phantom's Embrace is also a serious problem. The silence from it can be enough to prevent Ember from using a defensive Sleight of Fist or activating a Remnant to dodge incoming damage. With multiple ways to pin him down from a safe distance, Grimstroke makes it very difficult for Ember Spirit to play his usual split-pushing and elusive game.
