Emma Frost, the renowned X-Men character, is set for a significant upgrade following community feedback regarding her offensive capabilities in Marvel Strike Force. Key changes include an increase in her Base Speed and the addition of Bleeds to her Basic Attack.
Her Special and Ultimate abilities have been revamped to clear barriers and remove positive effects from enemies, while her Ultimate now targets adjacent foes.
These enhancements will enable Frost to more effectively assist in battles, particularly against Boss Knull in Battleworld, alongside her Marvel Strike Force Astral team and X-Men allies.
