Mobile Legends Obsidia Build Guide Gameplay Tips
Obsidia is an aggressive marksman with skill sets that allow them to chase and constantly peel enemies on the battlefield. Thanks to her powerful ultimate ability, Obsidia can tether to enemies, restricting their mobility, while simultaneously shredding the enemy’s HP.
According to her gameplay, we can break it down into three phases. Nonetheless, a player must have a good understanding of the map to bring the best out of any hero. This Mobile Legends (MLBB) Obsidia guide includes the perfect game plan for the early, mid, and late gameplay of Obsidia.
Early Game
Unlock your first skill and proceed to the Gold lane. Prioritize farming in the early game, using your first skill and basic attacks to farm your passive ability stacks. In the early game phase, Obsidia should prioritize farming up her passive by hitting enemy heroes, minions, or turrets. As a fully stacked passive gives her an edge in the laning phase.
It’s best to use Obsidia’s second skill to constantly apply pressure on the enemy gold laner by poking them constantly, while playing it safe. Do also note that, on hitting enemy heroes with Obsidia’s first skill, you gain more passive stacks. So do ensure to farm, poke enemies, while playing safe in the Early game. While playing Obsidia, you can use this skill combo to get the best out of her in the early game:
Skill 1 + Basic Attacks + Skill 2
Mid Game
Obsidia’s powerspike starts displaying in the mid to late game phase. She becomes a powerful marksman, constantly poking and peeling enemies from a safe distance. Use your Ultimate, Abyssal Bone Needles, to tether onto an enemy hero, limiting their movement while allowing you to focus and constantly peel the target’s HP.
Combine your first and second skills with your ultimate ability to deliver a deadly but precise mix of mobility and damage. It is best to stack up your passive stacks before using your ultimate to lock onto an enemy and dish out lots of burst damage.
Late Game
Whether it’s controlling Objectives or peeling the enemy’s front lines, Obsidia can efficiently do both in the late game phase. Therefore, follow up your roamer’s engagement by locking onto a high mobility enemy or the enemy’s main carry to burst them down. Do also note that Obsidia’s ultimate ability prevents the tethered enemy hero from using any blink skills; therefore, it gives Obsidia an edge over high-blink heroes.
Do also ensure to prioritize staying alive while coordinating with your allied roamer, fighter, or mage for key engages. You should also ensure to coordinate well with your Jungler to secure late-game objectives like the Lord, whilst bursting down all opposing enemies.
