All leaked Marvel Rivals Emma Frost abilities

As Marvel Rivals prepares for its highly anticipated Season 2 release, fans are abuzz with anticipation over a new round of leaks teasing what’s to come. Following the success of Season 1, which introduced the Fantastic Four and broke Steam player count records, NetEase Games is ready to keep the momentum going with new characters, maps, and a thematic twist that has players speculating wildly.

Leaks indicate a change toward a mutant-centric storyline, with the Hellfire Gala—a glitzy and momentous event from Marvel Comics—serving as the season’s backdrop. This has spurred heated debate over which characters might join the lineup next.

One of the most intriguing theories is the possible entrance of Emma Frost, the renowned X-Men telepath and diamond-skinned powerhouse. Datamined data and voice lines from characters such as Wolverine and Psylocke have stoked rumors that the White Queen may make her Marvel Rivals debut shortly. Fans are excited to see how she will fit into the game’s meta, especially with rumors of a new Krakoa map in the works. Here are all the abilities of the character leaked.

Emma Frost abilities in Marvel Rivals

Emma Frost’s prospective inclusion in Marvel Rivals Season 2 has spurred lively debate, notably about her role within the game’s established roles. Renowned for her diamond form, which provides incredible resistance and makes her a near-impenetrable force, she easily fits into the Vanguard archetype—characters built to anchor the frontline and absorb incoming damage. Her telepathic talents, such as mind-reading and psychic shields, might easily be integrated into a Vanguard kit, perhaps increasing team utility or control.

However, there is one wrinkle to consider. Vanguards normally have large health pools to support their tanking tasks, but Emma’s baseline human form lacks the innate toughness that her diamond condition gives. This raises doubts about how NetEase Games can reconcile her dualities if the leaks, which hint at a Vanguard classification, are real.

Here’s a look at all of Emma Frost’s leaked abilities in Rivals.

Ability	Description
Psychic Blast (Primary Attack)	Unleash a psychic blast at enemies.
Psychic Ray (Secondary Attack)	Emit a ray that deals AoE damage.
Psychic Barrier (E)	Create a shield around you and your allies.
Diamond Form (Shift)	Turn into a tankier Diamond form with larger health.
Psychic Ray 2	Unleash a Psychic Ray in Diamond form.
Diamond Shock	Deal damage to enemies in Diamond form.
Diamond Kick	Kick enemies in your Diamond form.
Diamond Back Slam	Smash enemies while in Diamond form.
Soul Control	Control an enemy using your telepathic abilities.
Mind Control	Control the enemy and disrupt opponents.
Mind Connection (Team Up)	Give your insight to Magneto, providing the location of enemies.
Piercing Spike (Ult)	Unleash sharp diamonds around you, dealing heavy damage in an area.

Emma Frost may not be your go-to solo Vanguard in Marvel Rivals. Her speculated kit suggests an intriguing hybrid approach, bridging the gap between Strategist and Vanguard roles with subtlety. Unlike Doctor Strange and Groot, who thrive on absorbing damage and sheltering teammates, Emma’s design is more comparable to a crowd-control maestro, distracting enemies rather than standing as an immobile wall.

Her powers, as teased, do not appear to be well-suited for securing capture points in the typical tank sense. Instead, she excels as a secondary Vanguard, ideal for aggressive squads seeking to dominate payload pushes. By controlling enemy positions and creating opportunities for her team, she may add a tactical edge to attacking lineups, combining disruption with just enough frontline presence to keep things interesting.

When does Emma Frost release in Rivals?

According to the latest buzz and insights from the developers, fans can expect Emma Frost to make her shiny debut in Marvel Rivals on April 11, 2025, when Season 2 is out.
