Obsidia Hero Explanation

Let's get straight to the point, explaining Obsidia. To avoid any confusion regarding the mechanics, VCGamers will first explain the skill details:

Passive Skill – Return to Bone

Obsidia's passive is one of her greatest strengths. This passive grants her additional damage-per-second (DPS) with every basic attack.

The mechanic is to collect stacks from doing hits (except to creepsThe maximum number of stacks that can be collected is 25 and this is permanent.

Skill 1 – Abyssal Bone Needle

Obsidia hits a designated arrow in the player's direction, dealing physical damage. Hits add to its passive stack.

Skill 2 – Phantom Shadowmeld

Obsidia's mobility skill. When pressed, she dashes in the direction of the joystick movement—much like Cyclone Eye. However, there's one significant difference to keep in mind.

While it may look like a blink, this skill is actually a "side step": it grants a burst of additional movement speed. Therefore, it can't be used to penetrate walls.

Ultimate Skill – Hunt of Bone

Obsidia directs a skill indicator (arrow) towards the hero. If it hits, it binds the target. During this time, all blink and displacement skills cannot be used.

Additionally, the bound target cannot approach or move away from Obisidia's firing radius. He can also pass through walls and gain 5 additional passive stacks.

Obsidia Mechanics

After reading the explanation above, you should now understand the mechanics. Yes, we can confirm that Obisidia is a scaling hero whose optimal performance is only achieved after the mid-game.

That's assuming his team is superior and dominates the lane, making it easier for Obsidia to accumulate stacks. Therefore, he desperately needs GB before he can become self-sufficient.

Once the stack is assembled, it's very easy for him to go one-on-one – even with cores. This is his greatest strength, but also his weakness.

"That's right. In the late game, Obsidia, with its single-target DPS mechanics, is difficult to engage in war. Furthermore, with its limited immune capacity, it's also vulnerable to crowd control (CC).

Counter Obsidia

Now, on to the topic you've all been waiting for: Obsidia counters. Here, VCGamers will explain everything in detail, from the hero, spells, and equipment:

Heroes

From the mechanics explained, we can easily guess that Obsidia will be very afraid of anti-DPS tanks and projectiles. What else if not... Belerick and also Lolita!

VCGamers guarantees, if you use these 2 heroes against Obsidia, all the damage output he shoots will immediately bounce back to himself/his surroundings!

And don't forget, these tanks also have excellent CC capabilities—both single-target and area-of-effect (AoE). When used correctly, Obsidia can be easily taken down.

Spells

The only spell suitable for countering Obsidia is Vengeance. This can help both withstand and counter its DPS damage output.

If you can adjust the timing of its use well (during a team fight, for example), it's not impossible that the powerful Obsidia will be picked off by its own damage!

Equipment

• Dominance Ice: DPS heroes generally use builds that increase attack speed and lifesteal. Therefore, Dominance Ice is excellent for countering both.
• Blade Armor: The physical attack DPS output will also be very easy for you to reverse with this item;
• Wind of Nature: Suitable for goldlaners who want to take him one on one;
• Winter Truncheon: Its immune freeze effect can help escape Obsidia's ultimate;
• Immortality: A spare life can give you a second chance against Obsidia.
