How to Play Emma Frost in Marvel Rivals: Complete Guide for Season 2
If you're diving into Marvel Rivals Season 2 and wondering how to play Emma Frost, you're in for a wild ride. This isn’t just another DPS in Marvel Rivals Heroes—we’re talking about a psychic powerhouse who can flip the entire match with the press of a button. From her telepathic attacks to her tanky Diamond Form, Emma brings a lot of style (and damage) to the battlefield.
Here’s how to get the most out of the White Queen and dominate Krakoa like a boss. 👑
Emma Frost's Abilities Breakdown
Telepathic Pulse (Primary Fire)
A short-range beam of psychic energy that ramps up in damage the longer it connects. Great for burning down shields—except Magneto’s, that one's immune.
Pro tip: Keep it on tanks or low-health enemies to melt them fast. It even shreds through Strange’s and Sue Storm’s barriers.
Psychic Sphere
Hit an enemy and a crystal spawns, tethered to them. Break the crystal = burst damage. But if they move out of the zone? No damage at all.
Pro tip: Use Psychic Sphere to force enemies off points or payloads. Smart placement = control the map without saying a word.
Mind’s Aegis
A deployable shield that you can place exactly where you want. It has 500 HP and can protect your whole squad or block key ultimates.
Pro tip: Hold the button to project and plan the shield placement—super useful for denying space or clutch-saving allies.
Diamond Form (Alt Mode)
The real game-changer. Turns Emma into a tanky brawler with immunity to crowd control. Lasts 7 seconds and replaces her abilities with close-combat ones:
Faceted Fury: A melee combo that hits like a truck.
Carbon Crush: Grapples the enemy, slams them down, cancels abilities (yes, even some ults!).
Crystal Kick: Knocks enemies back—extra damage if they hit a wall.
Pro tip: Use it wisely. You only get it every 12 seconds, so don’t waste it unless you’re confirming a kill or escaping danger.
Team-Up Bonus
When you team up Emma with Magneto and Psylocke, all three can summon psychic clones that mimic their moves (except ults). Bonus: Emma also gets +100 HP. Yes, please.
Ultimate: Psionic Seduction
Creates a psychic field that damages and hypnotizes enemies who stay inside too long. They literally walk toward you like zombies.
Pro tip: Use it to interrupt enemy ultimates or force them off objectives. It can flip the momentum of a whole round.
Best Tips & Tricks to Play Emma Frost in Marvel Rivals
Master Her Base Form
Start fights with her psychic beam and zone control. She's not just support—Emma’s all about pressure and peeling tanks apart. Psychic Sphere keeps enemies on their toes, and Mind’s Aegis helps your team push up safely.
Use Diamond Form Like a Finisher
Don’t waste Diamond Form on random skirmishes. Save it for those 1v1s or when you’re getting dived on. Hit Carbon Crush, follow up with a Crystal Kick, and finish with Faceted Fury for an easy takedown.
Outplay With Her Ultimate
Emma’s ult isn’t just flashy—it’s strategic. Catch multiple enemies, cancel their abilities, and force them to walk into your team like mind-controlled minions.
Stay Frontline, But Smart
