How to Play Emma Frost in Marvel Rivals: 5 Key Tips

• Master Form-Switching: Emma Frost's gameplay revolves around transitioning between her Human Form (ranged) and Diamond Form (melee). Use Human Form for mid-range poking with abilities like Telepathic Pulse and Psychic Spear, then switch to Diamond Form when engaging enemies up close. Timing your transitions is critical—switch to Diamond Form only when you're ready to brawl or need crowd control.
• Use Shields Strategically: Deploy Mind’s Aegis in Human Form to protect teammates or block choke points. Unlike other Vanguard shields, Emma’s can be placed at a distance, making it ideal for controlling angles or objectives. Use it to cover your team during pushes or to deny enemy ultimates.
• Exploit Crowd Control in Diamond Form: Emma's Diamond Form abilities, such as Carbon Crush and Crystal Kick, excel at disrupting enemy positioning. Use Carbon Crush to grab overextended enemies and slam them into your team’s range, or knock foes into walls with Crystal Kick for bonus damage. These abilities are perfect for isolating high-priority targets like healers or snipers.
• Optimize Psionic Seduction (Ultimate): Emma’s ultimate ability, Psionic Seduction, stuns enemies and locks them out of their ultimates while forcing them to move toward her. Use this during team fights to disable key opponents and create openings for your team to capitalize on the chaos. Pair it with burst damage heroes like Wolverine or Psylocke for devastating combos.
• Stick with Your Team: Emma Frost is most effective when played alongside teammates who can complement her abilities. In Human Form, stay near Duelists or healers to provide shielding and ranged support. In Diamond Form, coordinate with other Vanguards or damage dealers to maximize her crowd control and survivability during engagements.
