Combos

Elsa thrives on being able to fire her Monster-Piercer at every chance she gets, as it deals massive amounts of damage. She mostly plays front-to-back (K.O tanks first), and her mobility allows her to peel herself from dive Vanguards.

Matchups

Elsa Bloodstone is a duelist who likes to hunt ‘big game’. In this case, her favored targets are the largest targets of them all, Vanguards. Some Vanguards in Marvel Rivals have poor mobility, and this lack of mobility can easily be exploited by Elsa. While she herself does not have the most mobility, she is able to exploit Heroes with a lack of mobility thanks to her ultimate.

Strong Against

Most low-mobility heroes
Doctor Strange
Thor
Captain America

She essentially invalidates their high health pools thanks to her Monster-Piercer. Low mobility tanks are heavily punished because of her snare as well as her ultimate.

Weak Against

High mobility heroes with strong vertical gameplay
Bucky

She suffers heavily against heroes that have strong back-to-front gameplay and heroes that have good verticality. Heroes like Spiderman and Venom can easily put her out of her comfort zone, which the enemy team can capitalize on.

Final Thoughts

Elsa Bloodstone is the premier anti-tank hero in the game, thanks to her max health damage on her Monster-Piercer. She pairs well with Vanguard heroes that provide strong peel for her, so she can effectively level up her passive. Lastly, her ultimate is great as a setup tool when paired with other AoE ultimates.
