What was previously only a hinted name in the Season 5 Gallery Card has now become official. NetEase revealed the first Season 6 trailer during The Game Awards ceremony, surprising fans just days after the hype surrounding Rogue’s debut in Season 5.5.

In the trailer, Deadpool takes the spotlight as the main highlight. However, the real surprise comes at the very end of the cinematic reveal, the arrival of the legendary monster hunter herself, Elsa Bloodstone.

Elsa Bloodstone Kit and Abilities

Elsa Bloodstone is a Duelist whose abilities stem from both her genetic inheritance and the mystical Bloodstone itself. She often uses her guns as her primary weapon, as she is a skilled marksman capable of wielding multiple weapons while maintaining excellent aim.

Monster-Piercer	LMB	Unleash your elephant gun forward. Bullets pierce enemies and deal high damage.

How to Play Elsa Bloodstone

Elsa Bloodstone is a Duelist who can switch between different weapons seamlessly. As the fight goes on, her fighting instinct sharpens, allowing her to reduce her movement skill's cooldown by hitting enemies. However, if she dies, she loses the increased instinct stacks.

Mobility is Key

She has strong mobility, allowing her to quickly move in and out of combat, making her deadly at both close and long range. Her mobility is her bread-and-butter tool because not only can she reposition instantly, but she also switches to her monster-hunting rifle, which deals increased damage for one shot after using any movement ability.

This means movement skills and dashes are the key to unlocking her deadliest combos.

Trapping

Elsa can set traps that contain the smoke monster, Diablo. Enemies caught in the trap will be immobilized, creating the perfect hunting ground for her. This ability makes her a key player in team fights, as she can initiate combos or help disengage by creating space for herself and her teammates.

Ultimate

Her Ultimate summons Glartrox to charge into the enemy line. Enemies caught in its path are bitten and dragged along with it. This ability is perfect for devastating grouped enemies or those fighting in tight spaces.

While active, pressing Q again commands Glartrox to turn around and charge back toward Elsa, dragging the captured enemies with it. Glartrox then slams the dragged enemies in front of Elsa, dealing heavy damage and creating a perfect window to start her combo.

Note that if you move backward while calling Glartrox back, it will keep charging until it reaches you. In theory, this allows enemies to be dragged a long distance across the point, as long as there are no obstacles between you and Glartrox.

Keep in mind that you can still shoot them while they are being dragged. Just imagine how long the stun can last and how easily you can land hits while Glartrox is deployed.

Elsa Bloodstone Combo

Her combo is fairly simple. The key is to keep her weapon switch consistently active to maximize damage. Since the monster hunting rifle gains bonus damage after using a movement skill, mobility is essential to unlocking her full burst potential. Here is her basic combo:

F (optional) > E > LMB > Reactivate E > LMB > RMB > Shift forward > LMB > Finish up with basic shots.

Trapping enemies is optional and only applicable in certain scenarios. Her basic combo revolves around her uppercut skill, which opens a window for a chain combo. Make sure to go to the practice area and familiarize yourself with the inputs for faster reactions.

With this kit, Elsa is shaping up to be a burst Duelist with the potential to become a key player in team compositions.

Elsa Bloodstone Team-Up Ability

Elsa will be joining the existing “Mr. Pool’s Interdimensional Toy Box” Team-Up, with Deadpool and Jeff the Land Shark. Enemies hit by Elsa Bloodstone's Living Bullet rounds will be distracted with Deadpool visual clutter and sound cues. Additionally, Elsa can recall the rounds to heal herself based on damage dealt.
