Marvel Rivals Vanguard · Season 10.5
Updated
Emma Frost is a Vanguard hero in Marvel Rivals with 675 health and a 3/5 difficulty rating. Emma Frost joined the game in Season 2 on April 11, 2025. In Season 10.5 ranked, Emma Frost has a 47.9% win rate (C tier, #36 of 54) and is picked by 20.8% of teams. Emma Frost's team-ups are Iced Out Diamond (with Luna Snow) and Spirit Breaker (with Mantis). The ultimate is Psionic Seduction.
A 20 m channelled beam whose damage climbs from 70 to 140 per second as its gauge fills. Keep it on one target; the gauge fills fastest on a Psychic Spear sentience and decays once you stop feeding it.
Her ultimate sweeps a 30 m cone for 6 seconds, dealing 80 damage per second and stopping anyone caught in it from using their ultimate. Enemies held in it long enough are charmed and walk toward her, and she takes 25% less damage while casting.
Places a floating 400-health barrier; holding the button longer sends it farther out. It recovers 80 health per second after 2 seconds, and recalling it costs only a 1-second cooldown versus 4 seconds if it breaks.
Every 15 seconds Emma can harden into diamond for 8 seconds, gaining 25% damage reduction and Unstoppable while her attacks switch to close-range melee. Use it to brawl through crowd control at the front line.
Fires at an enemy up to 24 m away and pulls out their sentience, which has 25% of their max health. Every hit on it deals 5 damage to the owner and breaking it deals 25% of their max health; it fades if they get 15 m away.
Her Diamond Form punch string, a 4 m combo hitting for 50, 50, 70 and 80. Finish the whole string, since the last two blows carry most of the damage.
A Diamond Form flying kick for 40 damage that sends enemies 10 m back on a 2-second cooldown. Kick them into a wall for 50 extra damage, or use it to push a diver off your backline.
A Diamond Form grab: Emma dashes 8.5 m, catches the first enemy she meets for 40 damage and slams them down behind her with a 1.6-second stun. Use it to drag a target away from their team and toward yours.

Emma Frost has 2 team-up loadouts. Pick one before the match: it always works, and its enhanced effect turns on when the partner hero is on your team.
A 12-second ice blast (C) deals 50 damage and slows by 25%; in Diamond Form it becomes a 350-health wall that stops attacks and movement. With Luna Snow on the team every damaging ability in Diamond Form also slows by 20%, the pick for chasing mobile targets.
Ranked win rate with Luna Snow: 50.2% (+2.2 vs Emma Frost's 47.9% overall, 36,232 matches)
Damage Emma deals to a Psychic Spear sentience comes back as bonus health at 150% of the amount, so spearing a target also shields her. With Mantis on the team, shattering a sentience adds 100 bonus health and takes 2 seconds off Psychic Spear, the sturdier pick for long brawls.
Ranked win rate with Mantis: 57.9% (+9.9 vs Emma Frost's 47.9% overall, 9,548 matches)
Emma is hardest to stop during Diamond Form, so kite her for those 8 seconds and punish her afterwards, when she can be stunned again and her beam has to ramp up from 70 damage per second. Mobile heroes who can reach her backline position, like Daredevil or Magik, make her choose between her beam and her own safety. If she spears you, move more than 15 m from your sentience and it disappears before her team can break it.
