Emma Frost will be added at the start of Season 2 of Marvel Rivals, which is set to begin on Friday, April 11th. We expect the season to start at 1:00 AM PT (9:00 AM UTC).
Trailer
Here is the character reveal trailer for Emma Frost that was released shortly after the official reveal of Season 2:
Abilities and role
As the trailer reveals, Emma Frost will be a Vanguard character, becoming the 10th hero available in the role. We can see a bit of her abilities in the reveal trailer but NetEase hasn't revealed in detail how each one works.
Her primary fire seems to be a beam similar to what Zarya has in Overwatch, meaning it doesn't have auto-aim like Scarlet Witch's primary fire and able to do damage only in short-range combat.
She can deploy a crystal mine that deals damage to nearby enemies and can also produce a crystal shield that can block any incoming projectile or power.
Another one of her powers, and a signature one for the character, is the ability to transform her body into crystal. While in crystal form, she appears to turn into a melee-focused character, where her punches can deal more damage. Her ultimate ability seems to deal damage to any enemies nearby.
