Emma Frost, the iconic telepath and diamond-skinned powerhouse, is finally stepping into the Marvel Rivals battlefield. With a stunning reveal, NetEase Games confirmed her debut alongside the stylish Season 2: Hellfire Gala update. Known for her commanding presence in the X-Men universe, Emma arrives as a playable hero with a unique twist—she’s one of the few characters in the game to feature dual forms, switching seamlessly between devastating psychic offense and unbreakable diamond defense.

Emma Frost Ultimate Ability & Team-Up Special

 

 

Emma Frost’s ultimate draws in nearby enemies, increasing pull strength over time as her diamond core charges. The only escape? Perfectly timed movement skills before the charge maxes out—miss it, and you’re locked in. She can also summon illusionary versions of Magneto and Psylocke to confuse and distract opponents. These projections don’t deal damage but are perfect for baiting cooldowns or creating flanking opportunities.

 

 

Emma Frost offers an elegant mix of offense, defense, and utility, making her a top-tier pick for players who love adaptability. Whether shielding allies, punching through frontlines, or warping enemy formations with her ultimate power. The White Queen is poised to redefine the battlefield in Marvel Rivals Season 2.
