So i was on tc today testing DD , and found this another emma frost (but i already have her unlocked) , so i bought that but nothing :P , i think its her update but its locked till next week
someone said me it was a bug ,but if i already have her unlocked why the other emma show up as avaible to buy , i really want to believe its like dd on tc now with a separate update
The Marvel Heroes Twitter account just confirmed it
They said they'll get to it, just not this month :/
(I know, perish the thought!) And Language! happened? She was never more than middle of the pack at anything (yes, yes other than style, of course), but when I came back, she walked ALL OVER chapter 10 fights. Nobody, not even my super-pimped SW, has had it THAT easy. And we're not even talking a super-pimped Emma here. No special boss uniques/artifacts here. Not fully blessed. Etc, etc.
Did...did I miss some major news or something? Her powers must have gotten attention somewhere, at some point. I don't remember Diamond Skin being that effective.
Wasn't it a month ago, we received the awesome news that Emma would be next to receive her QoL review? Since then, we got GR Jump the queue,.. ( it was Just tuning no visuals), then .. DD ( hey he has a series )... I am just wondering.
It seems that Next™ doesn't mean Next. Just ... Next unless we have an excuse to push her back.
It bothers me because the supposedly next 2... Emma and Nightcrawler, are among my favorite heroes.
I got pretty excited when I first heard they would be the Next™ two.
what next? Since Civil War is coming out soon, let's release Nick Fury and QoL Ant-man, T'Challa, and Spiderman, but Emma needs to wait?
How long?
Hello, I have a pure Telepath build and until now had been charming whatever minion I came across only for the purpose of using Mental Overload for the 15% damage done/damage taken buff but now I want to start messing around with an actual Telepath/Mistress build. Any recommendations on what a good minion is? I used to have an AIM Incinerator but not sure if that's worth it anymore.
The TC has just gone down for maintenance. Fingers Crossed!
Updates:
16:19 PST - TC Still Down
23:00 PST - TC Still Down; Looks like Elektra still hasn't been approved.
Now I want to pick the game back up, since the Queen is getting some love somewhere. I want little mini Emma to go next to my ArtFX Emma!
Looks like it's already in the store too...
Maybe Emma will get X-Society or Gen X costume Soon.™
I'm so confused ha. Where is she!!!? Any updates?
Lets hope it's a fabulous patch!
Let's pray together Frostitutes, this is a sad time.
So if you guys doesnt know , axel alonso answered my question about Emma , he says that emma is preparing for a big event , and that event has been revealed today.
We still dont know of what is the plot of this event , but start praying my friends for Emma not to die
Death Of X
So, emma has over 32.4k comments, beating all, but Jean is sniffing at her fabulous heels.
And yet, not one of these comments, let us know more details about what her new skill set can do. clearly? as THE most popular hero commented character and the outcry we've been having don't we deserve a little more information, like a junkie, GIVE ME MAH FIX?!!
Can I get an Amen up in here?!
As I promised to @Brxxx I've recorded these videos for those who can't download TC, or aren't home. I guess @RybackStun is going to record on a better quality, so this is just a sneak peek.
Omega Telepath
Hellfire Headmistress
Diamond Paragon
Ultimate
What's up folks! I have returned to bring you the much requested/wanted/demanded Emma Frost QoL.
All cards on the table here, I despise Emma Frost as a character in this game and I say as much in the video. However that will not stop me from bringing you all a FULL Emma Frost QoL preview because the players deserve as much.
So here she is in all her glory!
Check it out, enjoy, and head over to TC and make your voice heard (I know most of you already have :P )
Yeah see the title.
But here's some Emma Frost cosplay pics for making the effort to click on the topic.
And for the ladies:
Continued from here.
So we all know Emma doesn't need a true Summon in the literal sense. As others have said, we wouldn't benefit much from that. But I do want a more usable smaller scale Cuckoos power in her kit. So we can enjoy them with her for more than a short channel every ten minutes.
Instead of a duration style Summon, I want a Cyclops or Kitty Pryde style "call-in". Like Lockheed or the 05 Strike Team powers, The Cuckoos would momentarily appear to attack where Emma directs them. Because they're not just standing around, you're not wasting any damage potential by using them like you might if they were summons.
Since she is their mentor, it'd go in her Hellfire Headmistress Tree. Flavor-wise it would be like she's training her girls, and if we got a Stepford Cuckoos Enhanced Costume, it would even give us a cute thematic power to build around.
After reading some feedback in her TC thread, I also figured out a way to add a synergy for the otherwise bland Frenzied Confusion and to fill in gaps in her kit that I can see. We could even get Dora-like specializations without actually using spec tech, because of Emma's form switching.
Prized Pupils
Call upon the Stepford Cuckoos for extra credit, and see how well you've taught them. After feeling so proud of her favorite students, Emma's Spirit regenerates faster for #s. Tell them they're the best, or they'll be cross all day.
While Not In Diamond Form:
The Cuckoos appear to get rid of the competition once and for all. This power deals mental damage. Confused enemies are over-charged with a mental aura, doing massive damage over time to nearby enemies before quietly expiring.
[Spirit help, pls. And another DoT layer back...]
Mental Pose:
Mental Effect:
_008.jpg)
While In Diamond Form:
The Cuckoos assume defensive stances in their own diamond forms. Standing in front of Emma, they form a protective diamond wall, completely shielding her from Mental attacks and reflecting projectiles.
[Emma already has nice damage absorption, so she doesn't need a block or another damage shield. But the game doesn't play up diamond form's immunity to telepathy enough imo. Also, it'd be handy as hell against certain other psychic sisters. If you catch my drift.]

Hello people, so happy Emma is getting updated :D . So I was thinking that it would be a great oportunity to make the stepford sisters a team-up because with Emma´s new ultimate they will have to make models for them and I´d rather have them permanently. I think they would be one of the most unique team-ups as they are 3 people, and their "when team-up is away powers" would work perfectly with any hero ( specially the x-men) because they mostly help people using cerebro. I´ve already commented this in another thread but I wanted to know what you think.
Hello Emma Frost forum! So @rbmaia @MisterJescah and myself have gone through Emma's Design Feedback thread to compile it all in one place with the hope that it will help with her upcoming QoL and foster necessary changes to make our Emma the best that she can be! @Ryolnir @Doomsaw @amthua @MichaelMayhem @KingBacon hope this is helpful!
Emma's level one talents could use rearranging. They should be: (Psi-Bolt or Astral Bolt), PD, LL and DF. This leaves her without a true spender at first level, but keeps everything clean after a retcon use. If PD isn't in her base line up we'll all need to get new pets every time we use a retcon. We all need LL, and no other hero needs to actually spec into [their movement ability]. DF could even be removed as a separate skill altogether, and rolled into another skill if it's felt we need Gleaming Strike at level 1. (Thanks to @Nootteryouknow )
Emma is in need of innate spirit regen options in some builds. Consider adding power spirit cost reduction to her kit via her uniques or passive abilities.
Include some sort of credit boost to reflect her wealth/status
Improve the relevance/usefulness of her passive abilities.
Re-examine her group buff options.
Really attempt to define the playstyle/ideology behind each power tree (OT is ranged, HH is control/minions, DP is melee)
NEW POWERS or revisions of existing ones could be done to improve survivability (Emma's Psychic Surgery skills could be added to a passive/ability, Health regen could be baked in to powers like Telepathic Mastery/Sudden Dread/Telepathic Torment [like SW regen on Chaos Warp or Ravenous Binding]).
Please change Emma's synergy. @Scade suggests - 4% DoT damage, 2% Damage mitigation.
Consider adding charm mechanics to her kit. She's very persuasive. [ @ShikiOuji ]
Consider removing Commanding Aura from minions and baking it into Emma/Vision's kits - it is mandatory to have in order to be competitive, much like Haste Aura was, and isn't an exciting choice.
Consider giving Emma multiple signature abilities like Dr Doom. This way Diamond builds aren't at a disadvantage. ( @lastolympian )
Consider giving Emma a mental-based movement power.
Please refer to @ReyXCX suggestion for a tuning pass here and @rbmaia suggestion for a tuning pass here.
Please consider giving her power vfx an upgrade.
Please consider dynamic updating on all her DoTs.
Please review her damage output/metrics.
Consider adding a new secondary resource for Emma:
@ShikiOuji suggests:
"Psychic Surgery" - As Emma is damaged or uses support skills this bar will fill up. While filling up, it will give Health Regen and Defense (which scale according to how full the bar is). When full, it will give burst healing and Spirit, and also refresh cooldowns or Invulnerability procs.
@IronSkye suggests:
"Astral Energy" - Emma manipulates the astral plane to deal additional mental damage with every mental attack, the additional damage depending on how much astral power she has. Additionally, she could suck energy from the enemy every time she hits with a mental power to gain some spirit back and destroy some enemy spirit at the same time (pvp mechanic).
"Psychic Shield" - Emma gets a Psychic Shield bar instead of diamond armor in her normal form. Emma and her teammates get X% reduced damage and are resistant to stun until the bar is empty. The bar will decrease every time enemies hit or stun the team. The bar will be filled with each mental attack.
@rbmaia suggests:
Isn't Emma capable of rerouting pain? I remember reading a comic where she is wounded, and transfers this pain to her aggressors that fries their brains. It could be translated to this game as damage reflection, but since that's useless, what about regenerating Spirit just like Ms Marvel does when she's attacked? Or maybe a proc with bonus damage rating for some seconds.
I'd love to see Emma get a Cable treatment - where picking a specialization unlocks a final power in each tree that hones in on the intended niche. The Telepathy spec would give you the Eventually-Iconic-When-Implemented Psychic Spear, a pet build would get access to the Cuckoos, and Diamond could finally have the Anime Emma Dive Kick we've all hoped for.
Emma is in need of some kind of high impact cooldown power.
GENERAL OT POWER TREE NOTES:
Clean up/speed up animation responsiveness on all powers (wind down/locks on targets); Kneel Before Me (have its CC begin very shortly after its start up so enemies can't walk out of it while you're rooted in place, and make it more difficult to be interrupted)
Make CC more effective/worthwhile/compelling to use (SD stun, FC etc.)
Increase the radius on her powers, which are quite small compared to other heroes (JG, Magneto); Telepathic Torment (vs any of JGs DoTs), Psychic Blast (vs Magneto's Metal Tempest)
Move KBM to the OT power tree. Move UP to the HH tree. This would help establish a more concrete design theme to each power three: OT (ranged), HH (control, minions, buffs), DP (melee)
Add Weaken to her Telepath kit
Add a Telepathic-themed movement power
Please refer to @MagmaFangFlamingo 's OT Revamp Thread for consideration.
@Skipjones suggested:
Give her a psychic surgery skill that is a health regen and ally revival, like skills used by Dr. Strange and Cyclops
@Skipjones suggested this:
As an alternative for telepaths, I propose a short cooldown "teleport", although with flavor text suggesting Emma was a psychic projection and never really where you thought she was.
OT is more or less almost there by itself, and the inclusion of specializations could/should patch up what issues it does have, which I would say are mostly flavor and gameplay at this point rather than numbers. My ideal would be adding additional DoT ticks through certain mechanics like Psychic Spear, because huge DoT numbers fits a telepath very well.
I'd like for a skill to be able to reset the duration of her dots just so you don't have to worry about reapplying them.
@Arkhes :
Instead of that, how about a cd skill that CONSUMES all her dots, making them do their full damage immediately rather than over a duration? It would not only give us some burst damage, but also allow us to reset the dots to safely snapshot again.
BASIC ATTACKS: PSI-BOLT, ASTRAL BOLT
TELEPATHIC TORMENT
Increase the radius.
Fix the Slow affix at 40%, increase the spirit cost in order to increase TTs damage. ( @Shunixa )
Consider the following images comparing the radius of Emma's TT to Jean's Psychic Lethargy
It would be great if TT had a chance to instantly disable enemies (like Scarlet Witch's skill that gives a 10% chance to get rid of enemies).
PSYCHIC BLAST
Increase range and radius of the power. (Consider the radius of Magneto's Metal Tempest ability).
Speed up casting animation
Possible candidate for the Weaken debuff for mental builds.
Consider the following images comparing the radius of Emma's PB to Magneto's Metal Tempest
TELEPATHIC MASTERY
Add Critical Hit Rating and Brutal Strike Rating to mental powers. (also, see @Scade 's suggestion below)
Maximum spirit (especially if Gaz plans to push mental-heroes into spirit stacking given the implementation of Clea/Xavier Omega node). [Emma is extremely well trained and practiced in the use of her abilities, enough so to go head to head with psychics who possess more raw power than her and still triumph - ie Xavier, Rachel Grey etc]
+% Power Radius, Gain X Spirit when you hit with a DoT power (with appropriate CD), consider placing Emma's mental Vulnerability application here instead of TT.
Add various random % procs to Telepathic Mastery (similar to SW's Chaos Magic), in order to demonstrate Emma's potential for control and affecting the minds of her adversaries in battle. They could consist of a DoT, vuln application, slow application, stun application, % chance to Instantly KO minor enemies (lore - rendering them unconscious with telepathy) [thanks to @MrLehane for this one] etc. ( @MagmaFangFlamingo )
Merge Mental Cloaking's stealth and CC cleanse effect into Telepathic Mastery, making this a passive/active talent. ( @polenzex ). The active portion could also be a mental-based movement power similar to Loki's Misdirection ( @ReyXCX 's suggestion)
Consider adding the following effects ( @rbmaia ) : Restore 3 Spirit when you critically hit with a mental power, Mental powers don't break Stealth
X% Mental Power spirit cost reduction.
+Damage Rating vs Unaware Targets
Merge Unlock Potential here, making the power a Passive/Active buff. ( @ReyXCX )
Regenerate X Health when you hit with a mental power. ( @ReyXCX )
As @MisterJescah suggests below, it could use a Health Regeneration component. This would represent Emma's psychic surgery skills.
What about a health regen passive? It fits her lore - she is capable of mental stimulation to encourage healing. That could also help make her less frail in diamond and mental playstyles.
Telepathic Mastery
-You are able to see enemies on the mini map
-Damage negation of 10%
-Mental Damage rating of +188
-When you hit with a mental power gain Constitution and heal 210 health for 8s.
Let's just compare this to Scarlet Witches utility passive.Chaos Magic Scarlet Witch
-Crit Rating 126
-Brutal Rating 126
-15% Chance to cause a minor hex
-Wither 28% attack/speed reduction
-Burning Agony 699 mental damage twice per second
-Restoration: restore 105 health and 5 spirit per second
-Ruinous Flux Aura - Mental damge of 726 twice per second with a duration of 5 s.
Active is a CC immunazationSo comparing it's beyond obvious how much we need a rehaul. And if we don't combine TM with Unlock Potential I'd at least like to see the change be something along these lines.
Telepathic Mastery
-You are able to see enemies on the mini map
-Damage negation of 10%
-Mental Damage rating of +188
-Crit hit of 126
-Brutal hit of 126
-When you hit with a mental power gain Constitution and health 210 health for 8s.
-15% chance to exploit the weakness of your foes and gain an advantage*
-Perfect Insight 28% attack/speed reduction to enemies
-Hurts Doesn't It area mental damage of 500 to enemies in (x% space of Emma) twice per second duration of 5s
-Calming Thoughts restor 105 health and 5 spirit per second.*
Gain the Accuracy Aura.
-Crowd control element
*All of these would be if Unlock was added to TM.
This passive is nice and all, but I don't think it quite embodies how skillful Emma Frost is as a telepath. She is consistently portrayed as being able to go brain-to-brain with other telepaths who possess far more raw power than her (Rachel Grey, Exodus, Xavier) and often best them. How might that skillfulness translate in game? Emma's telepathy here is largely characterized by DoT-stacking, so the mechanic should be something that works with that playstyle. One idea: Maybe she could get a +crit rating whose value corresponds to the number of DoTs she has layered on a given target. Something that rewards players who carefully monitor their DoTs.
TM should grant the same damage rating per rank of Diamond Heart. Constitution should be granted on mental damage dealt, not on mental skill used. Should also reduce cost of all mental skills by 5% at rank one, scaling with ranks.
DRAIN PSYCHE
Consider increasing the damage modifier; Drain's damage appears like it could use a slight adjustment upwards.
QoL changes needed. Making it auto-lock after dash, like Iron Man's repulsor Barrage and Starlord's Empty the Clips, would be nice.
Increase the range.
Increase the damage ticks to 4x per second. Perhaps make it scale with attack speed. ( @Nootteryouknow 's suggestion below)
Drain Psyche should have it's spirit cost per second doubled. This would net a sizeable damage increase. It should additionally be changed to 4 ticks per second, and receive 1% damage per 1% haste like Cyclops' Focused Beam to alleviate animation lock times, and make sure the skill scales with one of Emma's premiere stats.
MENTAL CLOAKING
Lacklustre. Emma lacks Dodge in her kit, so this skill either have a passive +Dodge Rating component or some sort of proc, like +x Dodge Rating for 10 seconds after you use it. By being able to read her enemy's mind, she's capable of predicting their movements, which is much more reliable than just agile reflexes. Emma has been portrayed as an extremely smart, tactician telepath, capable of turning the tides in milliseconds, so she definitely deserves more dodge.
Change to be a passive/active talent; passively granting damage mitigation, dodge, mental defense, with an active group CC break effect and stealth. @rbmaia
@Nootteryouknow suggests: Removing the CC break from Mental Cloaking, lower cooldown, add damage rating vs unaware passively
A movespeed buff could be added here if a non-diamond power movement ability is not implemented.
Allow it to cloak your minion, and add health regeneration for the duration of the stealth. @StarlightPhoenix
Consider merging this talent with Telepathic Mastery and remove Mental Cloaking. ( @polenzex )
Could have a passive self-resurrect portion – represents Emma using Illusions to make enemies think they've defeated her/struck a killing blow, while she cloaks her presence and resurrects/gains X% of her max health (with some sort of CD).
UNLOCK POTENTIAL
Consider incorporating Commanding Aura's buff into UP instead of having it on minions.
Recommended to be moved to the HH power tree, to be more in-line with the tree's flavour (support, control, minions).
Current design (short term change): Needs Better damage scaling. A burst of Spirit (like Captain's signature) would also be good. She's unlocking her full power so more spirit is reasonable.
New design: [Invisibility removed.] Grants more buffs to the team (all non-ultimate buffs), working like Luke Cage's signature. Passive critical/brutal rating if it's not integrated to Telepathic Mastery. Burst of Spirit for Emma and possibly for nearby allies.
Consider adding more stats to the active buff effect ( @polenzex )
+3 on all stats, +damage rating to all type, +defense rating to all type, dodge chance/ignore damage chance etc, +exp during buff duration, brutal/critical rating and brutal/critical damage, -X% spirits cost, attack speed & move speed, power duration, power radius
This skill is exceptionally lackluster at the moment. I know you wanted a handful of heroes to have the group invisibility buff, so we're not going to offer feedback on that. If it's going to have a self only damage buff, as it does now, make that buff last considerably longer. Alternatively, since the power is basically a 1 point wonder no matter what you do to it, have it give all of the non-ult keyword raid auras for 10s.
Maybe make Unlock potential give a passive Aura and buff her a lot on activation. Something like Ragin Cajun
Toggle Suggestion by @Scade for Improving Frenzied Confusion/Unlock Potential
What if Unlock Potential and Frenzied Confusion were both stances? Both unlocked at level 47 (and both, I agree, in the HH tree), they could represent the different roles Emma has played over the years. Unlock Potential would embody Emma as Headmistress, focusing on team support; Frenzied Confusion, Emma as the White Queen of the Hellfire Club, focusing on solo play. For example, maybe...
Unlock Potential:
+dmg rating to targets not attacking you
+Endurance buff for you and the team
When UP is active, Mental Cloaking functions as a group CC-break, in addition to turning everyone invisible for 5secs [basically, combining the functionality of the old MC and the current UP]
Frenzied Confusion:
+brutal strike rating
+"charm" aura (%chance for enemies around you to begin fighting one another)
When FC is active, Sudden Dread becomes a 4sec cooldown move with x3 expanded radius
[this would let hybrid players keep the old SD, which is more useful to spam at melee range anyway, but also enable pure mental users to keep the DOT as well as keep their distance]
passive for herself: Emma gets +brutal damage rating/ +critical damage rating / +spirit
passive for group: none
active: Emma links herself with a nearby ally hero or dominion and unlocks his/her true potential.This is an on-going buff which reduces Emma's focus about 20% until it is deactivated. The hero or dominion and Emma getting +25% damage to powers / +15% power cost reduction/ + spirit regeneration
Is frenzied confusion going to be irresistible with the new update? Jean has an irresistible confusion skill and it's a great plus for multiple boss fights and since Emma is an omega telepath mutant, she deserves this power, if you ask me, without cooldown if possible (maybe too op, but with less cooldown than Jean). If it's not going to be on the new update, could you consider doing it? I don't know who to tag so help me.
