Tracked numbers for Emma Frost
BUFF
Season 10 - Sep 2026
More health, longer reach
- Increase base health from 650 to 675.
- Increase the range of Telepathic PulseLMB from 18m to 20m.
- Increase Carbon CrushE dash distance from 7m to 8.5m.
Telepathic Pulse and Carbon Crush both reach further, so you can engage from positions that used to be just out of range.
FIX
Season 10 - Sep 2026
Emma Frost's Phantom Soundscape fixed
Emma Frost's Phantom Soundscape: Fixed an issue where the sound effect for the Spirit Breaker Team-Up could trigger even when the Enhanced Effect was inactive. The White Queen's telepathy was manifesting a bit too loudly.
BUFF
Season 8 - May 2026
Pulse Range, Shield Mobility, and Defense
- Telepathic PulseLMB falloff begins 4s after missing (was 3s)
- Mind's AegisRMB reposition cooldown reduced from 3s to 1s
- damage reduction during Diamond FormSHIFT and Psionic SeductionQ increased from 20% to 25%.
Your beam lasts longer before fading, your shield teleport is much snappier, and your defenses toughen overall.
BUFF
Season 7.5 - Apr 2026
Psionic SeductionQ costs less energy
Psionic Seduction energy cost reduced from 3400 to 3100.
Your ultimate comes online noticeably sooner, so plan for it in more fights rather than once per teamfight cycle.
REWORK
Season 7 - Mar 2026
Diamond FormSHIFT thinner, Ultimate shields you mid-cast
Diamond Form damage reduction cut from 25% to 20%, while Psionic SeductionQ damage falloff at 30m moved from 50% to 70% and now grants 20% damage reduction while channelling.
You survive less in Diamond Form, so save it for a real burst window and lean on the ultimate for protection instead.
BUFF
Season 7 - Mar 2026
Diamond FormSHIFT returns faster and shields recover quicker
Diamond Form cooldown reduced from 18s to 15s and Mind's AegisRMB recovery rate increased from 70/s to 80/s.
You can commit Diamond Form more often now, so use it to contest space rather than saving it purely to survive.
BUFF
Season 6 - Jan 2026
Energy Gain Across All Sources
Energy gained increased: Hero hits from 10/s to 12/s, Sentience hits from 15/s to 18/s, Shield hits from 5/s to 6/s.
All your energy generation rates climb, letting you spam control abilities and ultimate faster.
REWORK
Season 5.5 - Dec 2025
Team Synergy Loss
- Base health increased from 550 to 600
- Team-Up Anchor 100 bonus health removed.
She survives a little longer on the frontline now, but the anchor bonus is gone, so pick the Team-Up for its ability rather than the health.
NERF
Season 4 - Sep 2025
Form and Shield Charge Slowdown
- Diamond FormSHIFT cooldown increased from 15s to 18s
- Telepathic PulseLMB energy gained when hitting shields reduced from 10/s to 5/s.
Your transformation form is harder to spam and shield-charging feels significantly slower.
REWORK
Season 3 - Jul 2025
Beam Power and Ultimate Timing
- Telepathic PulseLMB damage reduced from 120/s (99 energy) and 150/s (100 energy) to 110/s and 140/s
- Diamond FormSHIFT damage reduction reduced from 30% to 25%
- Psionic SeductionQ Ultimate energy cost reduced from 3700 to 3400.
Your beam output falls while your Ultimate becomes cheaper to deploy, making it a better tempo tool.
REWORK
Season 2 - May 2025
Range and Durability Trade
- Telepathic PulseLMB range increased from 15.5m to 18m
- Mind's AegisRMB shield decreased from 500 to 400
- Carbon CrushE cooldown increased from 5s to 6s
- Crystal KickRMB damage decreased from 50 to 40, wall impact from 100 to 90.
You gain longer-range control but sacrifice shield durability and ability cooldown speed.
