Emma Frost Release Date in Marvel Rivals
Emma Frost comes to Marvel Rivals on April 11, 2025, right at the start of Season 2: Hellfire Gala. You’ll get to play her at 1 AM PST (4 AM EDT), as soon as the Marvel Rivals event for Season 2 begins. Here is a character reveal trailer of The White Queen:
Emma Frost Role and Abilities in Marvel Rivals
As per the reveal, Emma Frost is a Vanguard character, which is rare for any female characters in the game. Peni Parker is the only female character in Marvel Rivals with the Vanguard role. This means the developers planned a strong mechanic for the wealthy socialite, fashion icon, and powerful telepath. Her ability to design showcases a firm telepathic grip over her enemies, contemplating her powers from the original comics.
Emma can block damage, deal constant cheap damage, or just mind-control enemies as she pleases. She can also transform into a melee form that makes her a sturdier tank. Here is a list of all of Emma Frost’s abilities in Marvel Rivals:
Human Form
- Primary Attack (Left Click) – Psychic Ray, a normal attack that constantly damages enemies in sight.
- Secondary Attack (Right Click) – Psychic Barrier that can block projectiles, including Iron Man’s ultimate.
- E – Mind Crush pulls out a totem to attack that damages the enemy if destroyed.
- Shift – Change to Diamond form.
Diamond Form
- Primary Attack (Left Click) – Punches: This helps you use the diamond hands to punch down enemies with more damage.
- Secondary Attack (Right Click) – Diamond Kick that knocks back and damages if they hit a wall, similar to Black Widow’s kick.
- E – Diamond Back Slam is her E skill that lets you grab the enemy in front and dunk them to the ground.
- Shift – Change to Human form.
Emma Frost Ultimate
As we can see in the character reveal, Emma Frost uses her ultimate to lure enemies toward her. Once she uses her ultimate, the enemies slowly start walking toward her, and it speeds up as the diamond charge fills up. Enemies can dodge the effect by using escape abilities before the charge-up completes.
Emma Frost Team Up Ability
Emma Frost will have a unique team-up ability, allowing her to generate illusionary projections of Magneto and Psylocke. She originates this power, similar to Hulk’s role in the Gamma team-up. These illusions serve as diversions rather than dealing direct damage. Speculation exists that Jean Grey, an upcoming Marvel Rivals leaked character might also have a team-up ability with Emma.
So, are you tuning in on April 11th to try your hand at The White Queen? Which one of these Emma Frost abilities are you more excited to use in Marvel Rivals? Do tell us in the comments.
