How to beat Emma Frost
Vanguard · Marvel Rivals
The best counters to Emma Frost right now are Rocket Raccoon, Wolverine, and Jeff The Land Shark, led by Rocket Raccoon at a +1.8 counter rating. Every hero below is ranked by how hard they beat Emma Frost in real duels and teamfights, all ranks, updated Jul 9, 2026.
Ratings blend one-on-one duel wins (two thirds) with teamfight impact (one third), from the kill feeds of community matches. Each hero's general strength is stripped out, so a high rating means the matchup itself is lopsided, not that the hero is simply strong. Match win rate is excluded on purpose: it punishes counter picks made from behind. Counters that work by absorbing or denying damage rather than dealing it, like Magneto's shields, are understated by kill data. So are counters that only come online while a team-up is active.
