Karrie vs Obsidia : The DPS Shredder vs the Immortal Duelist

Obsidia, the deadly Fighter-Assassin hybrid of Mobile Legends, is known for her multi-form mechanics, dash-heavy combo chains, and sustain scaling through her Immortal form. Many Marksmen struggle to survive long enough to counter her setups.

Enter Karrie, the True Damage specialist and armor shredder.

Though she’s designed to shred tanks, Karrie’s hybrid burst and sustained DPS gives her surprising effectiveness against high-mobility sustain heroes like Obsidia. With the right timing and items, Karrie can pierce through Obsidia’s defensive layers before she fully resets.

In this breakdown, we explain why Karrie earns a Top 10 counter spot, her score across all critical metrics, and how to play her effectively against Obsidia.

Karrie Counter Obsidia Raw Score Breakdown and Performance Analysis

💥 Burst Damage (1.40 / 2.0): Lightwheel Combos That Bite

Karrie’s burst doesn’t hit like Lesley’s snipe or Beatrix’s shotgun, but her burst potential lies in True Damage applied through Lightwheel Mark.

Lightwheel Mechanics:

  • Applies a mark with every basic attack
  • After a few stacks, the mark explodes, dealing True Damage
  • Combos well with Speedy Lightwheel (Ultimate), doubling basic attacks

Against Obsidia, this means:

  • Early poke is soft, but
  • Mid-late game burst from Lightwheel + Golden Staff + Speedy Lightwheel can rapidly strip down her HP, bypassing her Physical Defense or Damage Reduction in Immortal form.
✅ Reliable Finishers: Karrie doesn’t need crits — just hits. A few focused attacks and Obsidia melts before her sustain kicks in.

🔄 Sustained DPS (1.70 / 2.0): What Karrie Does Best

This is Karrie’s signature strength and the reason she ranks in the Top 10.

Why Her DPS Hurts Obsidia:

  • True Damage ignores armor, which means Obsidia’s defensive scaling has no value
  • Fast attack speed during her Ultimate helps stick Lightwheel marks rapidly
  • In 1v1 trades, her damage is unforgiving and relentless

Even if Obsidia uses her skills to zone or reset, Karrie’s consistent damage output wears her down especially if paired with Sea Halberd.

🧠 Pro Tip: Activate Speedy Lightwheel early in skirmishes and kite while building stacks. Even with a single blink, Karrie’s damage doesn’t let up.

🌀 Mobility (1.20 / 1.5): Short Blink, Big Value

Karrie’s Phantom Step provides a short dash, which:

  • Fires a Lightwheel, adding extra damage
  • Helps reposition during trades or disengage from traps
  • Can be spammed with cooldown reduction (especially late game)

While it’s not a full disengage like Miya’s ultimate or Claude’s Battle Mirror Image, it buys enough space to:

  • Dodge Obsidia’s AoE field or stun traps
  • Maintain kiting tempo
  • Escape soft crowd control zones
⚠️ Caution: It doesn’t offer invincibility or immunity. Use it defensively, not aggressively unless you’re confident in securing the kill.

🛡️ Anti-Sustain (1.30 / 1.5): The Unspoken Killer of Regen Builds

Obsidia can gain:

  • Spell Vamp through skill chains
  • Bonus damage reduction in Immortal Form
  • Regen from items like Oracle or Bloodlust Axe

Karrie counters all of this because:

  • Her True Damage ignores defense and sustain scaling
  • She deals consistent damage, making regen ineffective over time
  • Paired with Sea Halberd, she becomes a true anti-sustain menace
🔥 Build Insight: Equip Sea Halberd early if Obsidia is building sustain. Follow up with Golden Staff to accelerate Lightwheel stacks.

⛓️ CC / Break Effects  (0.50 / 1.0): A Gaping Weakness

Karrie lacks hard crowd control:

  • No stun
  • No root
  • No slow
  • No cleanse or escape tool against hard CC

This leaves her vulnerable to:

  • Obsidia’s charged knockback/stun zones
  • Area denial if she missteps
  • Combo traps when Phantom Step is down

She relies heavily on positioning and timing and without proper peel, can fall fast.

❌ Matchup Caution: Don’t solo dive Obsidia. Without protection, you’re a sitting duck.

⏱️ Cooldown & Mana Efficiency (1.08 / 2.0): Not Spammy, But Sustainable

Karrie’s kit has moderate cooldowns:

  • Phantom Step has short cooldown with CDR
  • Speedy Lightwheel has a medium cooldown, so pick fights wisely
  • She isn’t mana-hungry, but can run dry without blue buff or regen early

She becomes much more efficient late game, but early skirmishes can feel tight if she misuses her ultimate.

🎯 Tip: Play safe until you get 2 core items — then your True Damage uptime takes over.

⚖️ Why Karrie Ranks #10 Overall — A Consistent Anti-Obsidia Marksman

Karrie isn’t flashy. She doesn’t assassinate. But she wins through consistency.
