The frosted queen, lets get into it.
in this forum i will be discussing Emma's utility, damage, unique abilities and where they are applicable in content.
So first, lets get it started with her telepath form, insanely overlooked abilities in here.
Prowess's will start at 5 most of the time when you switch into telepath form, granting an automatic +1200 crit rate, and +200 crit damage rate, allowing for some pretty nasty damage, this crit rate works very well with emmas ability to gain prowess on each crit and refresh all active prowess, you can make use of this by either launching a massive 70k l2, where both hits are incredibly likely to crit, or continue on and stay at 3 bars of power, letting you get consistently 3-4 crits a combo with a pretty decent crit damage bonus on top of that
She is also granted an evade counter, where evades cannot happen on any hits in telepath, and is one of the most easily accessable evade counters in the game, pairing this with her immunity to stun and fatigue in diamond form, she becomes one of the most versatile counters to Spry/gassed node combinations which appear in some very difficult lanes, including a 6.4 lane with spry, gassed and mix master, basically forcing you to either have a perfect evade counter or to be immune to fatigue, both of which she does and mesmerize nodes, which force you to either be stun immune, or counter evade, again she does both.
Now, lets move onto her diamond form
with colossus synergy you can be in diamond form for the whole fight, provided you arent playing to purposefully go to telepath form ofcourse.
in diamond form, emma quickly becomes one of the tankiest champs in the game, taking her armor rating from 400, to 2200
giving her a 10% perfect block
taking her physical rest to 1800
increasing her block proficiency by 400
and even providing a crit resistance, this allows you to tank MULTIPLE combos, in high level content, making it incredibly hard to lose fights, and grants sustainibility that is almost unmatched.
additionally, she gives basically no power from heavies to the opponent, allowing her with colossus synergy to heavy chain insane amounts of heavies in the corner on nodes like power struggle (6.1.5 global), or anywhere where your power is being drained. providing what is my personal favorite cheese in the game.
now, to the main point with emma, her immunities, and oh man, theres a lot
emma frost is immune to;
-bleed; granting her the ability to deal with biohazard, caltrops, chitinous thorns, bleed 60/30, morningstar, and so many other nodes where bleed comes into play, also makes her very suicide friendly
-poison; granting her the ability to deal with hazard shift in AW when combined with her other incinerate immunity, poison 60/30, and yes making her even more suicide friendly, also she will not be poisoned by apoc's L1 ofcourse
-incinerate; hazard shift as previously mentioned, incinerate 30/60; energy adoption fire
-coldsnap; iceman counter
-frostbite; pretty irrelevant immunity tbh
-shock; shock 30/60, energy adoption shock
-stun; enroaching stun, sasquatch l1, mesmerize
-fatigue; gassed, void
-concussion; pretty irrelevant again
-exhaustion; yep again pretty irrelevant
-reverse controls (with mysterio synergy); delirium, specal chaos inversion
now, onto her synergies (relevant ones only)
colossus; granting her the ability to be immune to debuffs with 100% uptime, and granting colossus extra power gain, and ofcourse is with a pretty good champ so hes not bad to be on the team anyways
Mysterio; reverse controls immunities
prof x; allowing her crit rate to go even higher, making the rampup process even quicker.
phoenix; passive prowess rate increasing is doubled allowing her already reasonable rampup to be yes even FASTER
well thats my right up on emma frost; some insane utility that is actually applicable in relevant content, and a good general lane clearer with both sustainibility and good damage.
not as in depth as my archangel right up, i know, but i dont have 5 hours to spare today, and where as archangel is really just one ability in the neuros that people just dont seem to know where its applicable, emmas utility is much easier to see where its gonna work, i hope you rank your emmas!

I don’t think she’s at the absolute top of the mutant class but she defo is an amazing champion.
nice job though. thumbs up emoji
Had a chuckle at this mild understatement.
colossus; granting her the ability to be immune to debuffs with 100% uptime, and granting colossus extra power gain, and ofcourse is with a pretty good champ so hes not bad to be on the team anyways
So now I’m interested. How DO you get around the multiple ticks of bleed you get while the special animations are running?
