Emma Frost’s Mobility

Emma Frost is a pretty mobile character for a vanguard. However, there are no rush or dash abilities that can help in covering distances quickly. In comparison, she is faster than Magneto, so you will be able to reach the objective area before him. Being slow does not mean she cannot support from a distance, which you will learn in the playstyle section.

Emma Frost’s Playstyle and Combos

Emma Frost can fire beams and throw hands like a diva. She has two forms; one relies on telepathic abilities and the other on her diamond abilities. When you use her primary attack during the psionic form, you fire a beam that does damage. Moreover, this beam becomes stronger with each hit. Once you fill the meter, you will be able to do great damage.

Her right click is a shield, which can be extended by holding the button. Use this ability to protect you and your allies from danger. The most formidable ability she possesses is Psychic Spear. The ability doubles the damage taken by the opponent, and you can kill squishy foes within seconds.

In her diamond form, she can fight people with her bare hands with a mix of kicks. Her primary and secondary attacks become melee, and you cannot be pushed or pulled in this form. Moreover, her E ability lets her grab opponents. You can even cancel enemies’ ultimates by grabbing them mid-animation. You can use the following combos when using Emma Frost:

Combo 1:

  • Press E in psionic form and create the enemy’s sentience.
  • Use your primary attack to attack the sentience and enemy at the same time.
  • This is the bread-and-butter combo of Emma Frost and will be able to deal a good amount of damage in a short time.

Combo 2:

  • Press E in psionic form and create the enemy’s sentience.
  • Immediately switch to her diamond form and hit the enemy and its sentience with the primary attack.
  • Grab the enemy by pressing E and finish it off with a right click.
  • This combo can help in eliminating enemies with relatively high health.

However, when the Mind Link team-up ability is active, she receives an extra 100 HP as the ability anchor. Her unique move sets can throw enemies off guard, and you can even stop ultimate abilities. She is a very sustainable vanguard and can be used in any team composition.

Best Team Composition With Emma Frost in Marvel Rivals

Every hero has a weak point, and Emma Frost is no different. Some heroes can counter her very well. The number one threat is always a sniper, and a capable Hawkeye, Black Widow, or Hela can do massive damage from a distance.

Moreover, a well-positioned Punisher can do wonders with his turret. Emma does not have any long cooldown abilities, but she is a low to medium-range character with no dash abilities. Any long-range character can bring punishment on her.
