Now that Season 6 is out, we have confirmed that the new two characters are Deadpool himself and Elsa Bloodstone. This article explains Elsa Bloodstone’s build, including her skills, how to play her, and the best team composition.
Elsa Bloodstone Marvel Rivals – Hero Overview
Seeing how popular Deadpool is, it’s only a matter of time before NetEase Games brings in more heroes from the X-Men universe. Talking about the rumored characters, it’s pretty clear that so many players wanted Cyclops to be released. Alongside him, Deadpool actually teased two more X-Characters. He mentioned Juggernaut and Colossus, although those haven’t been confirmed yet.
Elsa Bloodstone was one of the heroes who were previously rumored to be released in Season 6 of Marvel Rivals. She can be included easily in any team compositions, especially with the ones that already have great characters. If you want the better ones, BuffBuff can help with that.
Elsa is a Duelist character that has 275 health and 3-star difficulty. As a duelist, she can be pretty agile with her shotgun. Additionally, she can summon the Glartrox, which can deal a lot of damage.
Elsa Bloodstone Skills
As a duelist, Elsa Bloodstone build mainly uses her shotgun to deal basic damage. Combining her natural genetic inheritance with the power of the Bloodstone, she’s not to be underestimated. Below are the details about her abilities:
| Buttons | Abilities | Effects |
| LMB | Double-Barrel Blaster | Elsa fires her shotgun to deal damage to the enemies. |
| LMB | Monster-Piercer | Instead of using a shotgun, Elsa uses an elephant gun to deal serious piercing damage. |
| Q | Apex Predator | Elsa unleashes the Glartrox that will charge at the enemy. The Glartrox can be called upon, biting all the obstacles along the way, including heroes. |
| SHIFT | Helix Advance | Dashing forward while changing the next Double-Barrel Blaster to Monster- Piercer. |
| E | Ruthless Pursuit | Dashing forward while gaining health and launching any enemies. Elsa will then use a Double-Barrel Blaster to move backward while slowing the enemy. Again, this ability will change the next Double-Barrel Blaster to Monster-Piercer. |
| F | Smoky Snare | Elsa launches a trap that contains a monster called Diablo. When set, it becomes invincible. After it hits an enemy, the Diablo will immobilize and damage the trapped enemy. To break free, they have to defeat Diablo. |
| RMB | Living Bullet | Elsa Fires a Living Bullet that spreads upon impact, searching the enemies while marking them with Spectral Sigil. Hitting the enemies using Double-Barrel Blaster or Monster-Piercer grants Elsa an additional speed boost. This ability deals more damage to shields and characters with Bonus Health. |
| Passive Ability | Inherited Instinct | Each time Elsa deals damage, she receives a hunter instinct. Defeating an enemy trapped in Smokey Snare gains additional instinct. The higher the instinct, the faster the cooldown of Helix Advance. |
| Team-Up Ability | Bloodstone’s Boombox Bullets | Using Living Bullet will taunt the enemies instead with Deadpool’s words. It can damage and slow the surrounding enemies. Elsa can also call the bullet back to receive healing based on damage dealt. |
How to Play Elsa Bloodstone in Marvel Rivals
Elsa Bloodstone is a versatile character in Marvel Rivals who can utilize different weapons to deal some damage to the enemies. She also excels in trapping and, making her quite hard to defeat, especially when paired with the best characters that we will explain in detail later. If you are planning to use or even main this new character, below is how to play Elsa Bloodstone in Marvel Rivals efficiently:
Keep Being Mobile at All Times
One of the main skills that you’ll use the most is Helix Advance. In fact, it can be the damage dealer you focus on because the Monster-Piercer is definitely a no-brainer. It can deal piercing damage and can annihilate enemies easily.
Now, since Elsa is mobile, you can quickly move around using her abilities. Once you have the Monster-Piercer, you can keep close to the enemy to deal serious damage. After that, you can dash backward and use a summon or trapping ability to annoy the enemy.
Elsa’s Trapping and Summoning Abilities
To harass the enemy and make an opening for a combo, Elsa can use her Smoky Snare to trap the enemy for a few seconds. The enemy trapped will be immobilized, and Elsa can easily finish them off with the Monster-Piercer. Do note that once deployed, this trap will become invincible to the enemy, making it really effective against characters that have a lower health pool.
Aside from Diablo, Elsa also has another monster called Glartrox. This is basically her ultimate when she unleashes Glartrox directly on the enemy. While it may seem terrifying, the actual scary thing happens when you call Glartrox back. Once called upon, Glartrox will turn around and charge back to Elsa, hitting all the obstacles and enemies.
The thing is, when hit by Glartrox, the enemy will be stunned. This creates a wide opening for Elsa to deal finishing damage to all the dragged enemies. Since Glartrox can basically go a long way, just imagine how long the stun will be.
The Best Team Composition for Elsa Bloodstone
Elsa is a versatile hero who can work in any team composition. You can put her with Deadpool & Jeff the Land Shark and the gameplay will still be great. However, if you look for the best experience, we highly recommend pairing her with Doctor Strange, Cloak & Dagger, Groot, Moon Knight, Peni Parker, Invisible Woman, and Deadpool.
Conclusion
Overall, Elsa Bloodstone can be an enjoyable character to main in Marvel Rivals. She moves fast, her combo is quick and consistent, and her abilities can definitely increase the chance of winning in each game. When using Elsa, just be sure to use her combo, which is easy to do since you only have to switch the weapon, to unleash serious damage to the enemies.
