I tried to fight her, but i was not able to pass the 1st phase.
Next time I will bring prof x.
Other phases are same difficult? On yt all phases look like a piece of cake.
What champions to bring in? I see warlock, doom, apocalypse. What works better for an average player? Any ideas how to practice the phases? I need some advices.

One thing I would suggest is considering the length of your attackers’ special animation. Long specials put you at a disadvantage with the timer in some phases. It’s a consideration I wish I had made before hand.
Lots of stops, rehealing, restarting. I actually had a link describing the phases up in Safari and swapped back and forth in between phases. Not ideal. Next time will be smoother now that I know what to expect. In many ways, it reminds me of the Champion fight before it got changed: time sensitive, accurate play is important.

Rest phases are pretty straight forward, you'll get it when you read each phase individually.
She will deal damage onto herself when you successfully complete a phase.
And one basic thing you need to perform almost throughout the fight is intercept(to pause her plot armor phase timer). This is kinda essential.
4 hit dash back followed by light/medium hit.
Decent intercept skills works as she is super aggressive.
All the best!!
Emma Frost phase: Every time you make her exit Diamond Form, she'll gain prowess based on the power you had when she exited it (so if you throw an L2 and the act of doing so puts her out of Diamond Form, she gets 2 Prowess). Her L1 reverses controls like Emma. Successfully dexterity her L1 when she has 4 or more Prowess to pass. Noted that you can block the first two hits: Only the last hit matters.
Killmonger phase: Hit her until her Counterpunch charges go away. If you knock her down, that gets rid of extra ones. If she L1s, you need to intercept her or else your special attacks will hurt you too.
IW phase: This is the phase where you need to get intercepts down. It's basically the Foresight node: Intercepts give you a big fury, but these furies can stack. Special attacks also grant a fury. Deal enough damage to break the shield to pass.
Doom phase: You need to land all of these: Heavy attack, L1, L2, L3. Once you knock her down with one, you cannot knock her down with it again until you've passed or failed the phase. Highly recommended to have a shock immune-specials place shock and then she can Doom heavy you.
Aarkus phase: When you stay away from her, she places armor breaks, even if you're immune. When up close, she has power gain. L1 gives her Aarkus's ability to Colsnap you. Let her build 10 armor breaks on you, then knock her down to pass.
Iron Man phase: Remove all of her armors. LLLL combos will remove one. If you break her block (with a Heavy or Unblockable attack) you will remove one. When she L1s, she will autoblock everything. To remove this, heavy her while she is mid-heavy by eating hits into block then backing up when she charges it.
After this, she will return to Emma Frost if she is still alive.
Ideal champion: Doom. He has a way to make all of her phases easier except Emma and IW, who you need to get through on skill alone. KM he can get easy heavies, he's immune to Shock for Doom phase, Aarkus he can nullify her Frozen Air buff, and he has an Unblockable L1 for the Iron Man phase.
Learn to backdraft intercept. Intercepting pauses the timer you have to complete a phase before you fail.
Some of those revives were simply to not have to do the previous phase when I knew I had blown my shot. That’s also a consideration—you’d rather be in something like KM, Doom or Aarkus phase with the right champ than the previous one with the wrong champ.
