Strategy
You can dodge many spells and ranged attacks with Sleight of Fist or by activating Remnants.
Push out the lane with Flame Guard and Sleight Of Fist to secure the water rune that's about to spawn without missing farm.
Once you have level 2 or 3 Sleight of Fist in combiniation with blight stone you can start spamming it on the enemy mid laner to harass.
You can place a remnant at one of the rune spots and run to the other one to secure the rune.
When low on health or mana you can leave a Fire Remnant behind teleport to base to regenerate and activate the remnant to get back into the action.
You can drop and activate Fire Remnants while Sleight of Fisting.
When leaving a remnant behind it is good to have it hidden close to a tower, neutral camp or rune spot.
Ember Spirit is great at penetrating into opponents' backline due to high mobility of Fire Remnants.
If you are struggling to reach the backline consider an Aghanims scepter to increase your reach and mobility even further.
Ember Spirit is great at splitpushing as he is elusive and can always have a remnant left behind.
Counter Strategy
Flame Guard is most of Ember Spirit's damage early. Pop it with magical damage or destroy it.
Make sure you are controlling water and power runes against Ember Spirit as he has very little innate sustain.
Avoid clumping up against Sleight of Fist spam.
Items that can root, silence or stun elusive are key to locking down and killing Ember Spirit.
Ember Spirit is really good at split-pushing. Consider getting Boots of Travel on a core to match his mobility and catch him out.
Lore
Lost within the Wailing Mountains, the Fortress of Flares lay abandoned, its training halls empty, its courtyard covered in leaves and dust. Upon a dais in its sealed temple rests a topaz cauldron filled with ancient ash, remnants of a pyre for the warrior-poet Xin. For three generations, Xin taught his acolytes the Bonds of the Guardian Flame, a series of mantras to train the mind and body for the harsh realities beyond the fortress walls.
However, in teaching a warrior's way he earned a warrior's rivals, and in his autumn Xin was bested and slain. His followers spread to the wind. Yet as years turned to centuries and followers to descendants, his teachings endured by subtle whisper and deed. Touched by the teacher's lasting legacy, the Burning Celestial, inquisitive aspect of fire, cast himself to the Fortress of Flares and reignited the pyre ash. From these glowing embers emerged an image of Xin, wreathed in flame, his thoughtful countenance prepared to train and to teach, and to spread the fires of knowledge to all who seek guidance.
