Emma Frost, former White Queen of the Hellfire Club and leader of the X-Men, has been added to the roster for Kabam's mobile fighting game
Marvel Contest of Champions.
An "incredibly powerful mutant, with a brilliant mind to match," Emma Frost possesses telepathic abilities. She's also able to transform her body into organic diamond, rendering herself nearly indestructible. Both of these powers are featured within the game, comprising her passive ability.
Emma Frost starts the fight in Diamond Form, a more defensive form that makes her immune to all of the most common Debuffs in the game, including Stun, which means she isn’t stopped by the Parry mastery. Her defensive stats also get a huge boost. When Emma is at least one Power Level ahead of the opponent, she deactivates Diamond Form and switches to Telepath Form, her more aggressive form which emphasizes the attack. Emma remains in Telepath Form until the opponent is at least one Power Level ahead of her. Kabam notes that learning how and when to swap between these two forms is "key to maximizing Emma Frost's damage and making the most of her abilities." In both forms, she builds Prowess buffs which can boost her offensive or defensive stat ratings.

Special Attacks
-
Emma Frost switches to Telepath form for the duration of the attack.
-
Once Emma Frost finishes a Special Attack, all Prowess Buffs are removed.
-
This attack deals True Damage, ignoring all of the opponent’s Armor.
Special 1: Mental Assault – Emma Frost assails the Opponent’s mind directly with a pair of telepathic strikes.
Special 2: Brainstorm – Emma Frost launches a psychic blast at the opponent, following it up with a direct mental attack.
Special 3: Dominate the Mind – Emma Frost takes complete control of the Opponent’s mind, subjecting them to extreme mental trauma before giving them a harsh return to reality.
Signature Ability: White Queen
-
When Telepath Form is active and Emma Frost would lose more than 15% of her Max Health from a single source, she activates Diamond Form for 3 seconds to reduce the damage. This ability activates before checking Armor and Resistances.
-
When Emma Frost uses a Special Attack, the opponent’s controls are reversed until just after the end of the attack
Developer Note: Emma Frost’s Signature Ability powers up both her defensive and offensive abilities. The first ability swaps her into Diamond Form before she would take too much damage, so that her increased defenses can reduce the effectiveness of the attack. The second ability makes it incredibly difficult to dodge Emma Frost’s Special Attacks, and the effect lasts just long enough to also interfere with the opponent’s follow-up attack. However, some Champions like Magneto and Juggernaut are protected from the reversed controls by psychic shielding in their helmets.
