Natan offers mobility and poke, but lacks the burst and anti-sustain to counter Obsidia effectively. Here’s why he ranks #10 among the weakest counters.

MLBB guide on Natan as a counter to Obsidia – evaluating strength in mobility, magic-physical scaling, and ultimate timing.
Natan Counter Obsidia

Natan vs Obsidia : Poke vs Burst

In a duel between mechanics and mobility, Natan the spellcaster Marksman of Mobile Legends is often seen as a hero who can outmaneuver, outpoke, and outplay most opponents through pure spacing.

So, is Natan a natural Obsidia counter?

Not quite.

While Natan performs admirably in kite-based matchups, he struggles against Obsidia’s burst windows, sustain loops, and quick engages. His poke-oriented damage and lack of execution potential make him less effective in finishing fights fast a key trait needed to beat Obsidia reliably.

Let’s break down his combat metrics and explain why he’s ranked #10 among the weakest counters to Obsidia.

⚡Burst Damage (1.3 / 2.0): Decent Pressure, But Not Enough Punch

Natan’s damage output depends on consistent skill layering rather than a strong combo spike.

His Superposition and Entangling Shots can output decent poke when aligned with his reverse clone, but the lack of explosive power makes it difficult to:

  • Punish Obsidia during dive attempts
  • Capitalize on cooldown gaps
  • Burst through Immortal form damage reduction

Why This Hurts:

Obsidia thrives on quick in-and-out engagements. If Natan can’t finish her during her exposed cooldown windows, she resets, heals, and comes back stronger.

❌ Key Limitation: Natan needs several seconds of uptime something Obsidia rarely allows unless overextended.

šŸ”„ Sustained DPS (1.6 / 2.0): Long-Term Pressure Pays Off

Here’s where Natan thrives.

With Entropy? (Ultimate) active:

  • He mirrors his skillshots via a reverse-moving clone
  • Doubles the effective poke output
  • Can kite backward while dealing full damage

If played correctly, this lets him harass Obsidia out of zone control and create DPS pressure without full commitment.

✅ Best-Case Scenario: In extended trades, Natan outranges and outpaces Obsidia but only if he avoids her crowd control or burst traps.

šŸŒ€ Mobility (1.4 / 1.5): Top-Tier Kiting Potential

Natan’s Interference (Second Skill) gives him a reliable dash that:

  • Helps reposition during chase or retreat
  • Works well in synergy with his Ultimate
  • Can be cast quickly to dodge key abilities

Add this to clone-based positioning, and you have one of the most slippery Marksmen in the game.

Obsidia Matchup Insight:

  • Natan can dodge Blade Surge or bait Immortal arrow
  • But his dash is linear, and mistiming is fatal
  • Clone misplacement weakens his mobility impact
šŸ§  Pro Tip: Always activate your ultimate before dashing to set up effective kiting angles.

šŸ§Ŗ Anti-Sustain (0.7 / 1.5): True Damage? Nope. Anti-Heal? Missing.

Obsidia gains sustain through:

Natan has:

  • No Grievous Wounds
  • No healing cut
  • No burst to prevent lifesteal recovery

While you can build Sea Halberd, it’s not core on Natan. His spell-based scaling doesn’t synergize well with anti-heal gear.

⚠️ Big Weakness: If Obsidia builds sustain, Natan’s only option is kiting her endlessly not something every player can pull off.

⛓️ CC / Break Effects (0.5 / 1.0): Slows But No Stops

Natan has one source of crowd control:

  • Entangling Shots — a directional slow

This helps kite melee heroes slightly, but:

  • It’s not a hard CC
  • Doesn’t interrupt abilities
  • Doesn’t stop Obsidia from charging or blinking
❌ Matchup Warning: If Obsidia charges in with her tap/hold combos, Natan can’t cancel it he must rely on reflexes and dash timing.

⏱️ Cooldown & Mana Efficiency (1.5 / 2.0): Poke All Day, Just Mind Your Clone

Natan is built for continuous spellcasting:

  • Low cooldowns on all skills
  • Minimal mana consumption in fights
  • Clone allows constant harassment

However, positioning is key. If his clone is misaligned, his output drops by 40–60%, making him easier to punish.

✅ Great for Sustain Pressure, but requires map and positioning awareness.

⚖️ Summary - A Poke Artist, Not a Finisher

Natan’s gameplay revolves around:

  • Mobility
  • Positioning control
  • Clone-assisted poke

But he struggles to punish Obsidia decisively.

šŸ Conclusion: Great Kiter, But Not a Killer
