Chilling Assault

Chilling Assault reaches peak effectiveness when defending objectives in coordinated team battles where Luna Snow's healing, Emma Frost's expanded barriers, and Iron Fist's aggressive follow-up create an impenetrable defensive fortress.

Overview

Chilling Assault is a defensive support Team-Up that significantly enhances Emma Frost's Iced Out Diamond Spell Field capabilities. By increasing the radius to 12 meters and extending barrier placement distance, this combo creates an expansive protective zone that covers more of the battlefield. This makes it ideal for protecting grouped teammates and controlling key objectives with enhanced crowd control and damage mitigation.

This Team-Up excels in objective-based game modes where holding positions is critical. The expanded barrier coverage allows your team to maintain safer positioning while dealing with enemy threats from multiple angles. Luna Snow's healing synergizes perfectly with Emma Frost's defensive barriers, while Iron Fist provides additional melee damage output to secure kills within the protection zone.

While categorized as Tier B, Chilling Assault shines in coordinated team play where positioning control and barrier placement strategy matter most. It's particularly effective against hero-stacking enemies and in narrow map corridors where the expanded radius can trap or divide opposing forces.

How to activate

1
Select Luna Snow, Iron Fist, and Emma Frost as your three-hero team composition in hero selection
2
Ensure Emma Frost is available to deploy her abilities during team fights or objective control moments
3
Once in-game, coordinate with your team to position around Emma Frost's Iced Out Diamond Spell Field for maximum protection benefit

Pro Tips

1
Maximize Barrier Placement
The extended 12-meter radius allows Emma Frost to protect teammates from further distances. Place barriers at objective entry points to create multiple defensive layers rather than clustering them in one area.
2
Coordinate with Luna Snow
Position Luna Snow within or near the expanded barrier field to maximize healing coverage. Her heals combined with Emma's barriers create overlapping protection that's difficult for enemies to penetrate.
3
Iron Fist Aggression
Use Iron Fist to capitalize on enemies trapped or slowed by the barrier field. The combination of enemy restriction and barrier protection creates safe conditions for aggressive melee engagement and securing eliminations.

Counters

⚔️
Magneto
Magneto can disrupt barrier placements with his magnetic abilities and deal high area damage that penetrates defensive formations, making the expanded barrier coverage less effective.
⚔️
Ghost Rider
Ghost Rider's crowd control and sustained damage can overwhelm the protective barrier before your team can respond, negating the defensive advantage of the expanded radius.
⚔️
Hela
Hela can bypass defensive barriers with her teleportation and execute abilities, allowing her to eliminate protected teammates before Emma Frost can react.

FAQ

The exact base radius varies, but the 12-meter expansion significantly increases coverage area, typically providing 40-50% more protection space. This allows barriers to cover entire objective zones rather than just team clusters.
