Mobile Legends Obsidia hero guide – skill breakdown, combo mechanics, and advanced gameplay tips for dominating ranked matches.
Obsidia Combo Guide and Counters

Who is Obsidia in Mobile Legends?

Obsidia is Mobile Legends’ 130th hero, introduced in 2025 as a burst DPS controller with scaling power through her passive Bone Shard system. Designed to counter dive comps and punish overextensions, Obsidia thrives in mid-to-late game skirmishes with the right positioning and timing.

Her kit includes:

  • Bone Needle: A line skill that deals increasing damage based on collected shards.

  • Shadowmeld: Grants mobility and stealth, perfect for repositioning or diving.

  • Hunt of Bone (Ultimate): A deadly tether combo that pulls enemies and deals bonus damage.

With versatile control, burst, and mobility tools, Obsidia adapts well to various matchups but how does she perform against each role in Mobile Legends? Let’s break it down.

🎮 Obsidia Analysis Against Marksmen

Marksmen are Obsidia’s favorite prey low HP, low mobility? Perfect.

Strengths:

  • Burst + Stealth lets her assassinate backliners.

  • Bone Shard reset lets her jump between targets.

Tips:

  • Time your Shadowmeld entry just as their escape skills (e.g., Flicker, dash) are used.

  • Use Hunt of Bone to yank Marksmen away from peel supports.

🔮 Obsidia Analysis Against Mages

What about squishy casters? Obsidia hunts them with ease.

Strengths:

  • Instant damage trades favorably with slow-scaling Mages.

  • Shadowmeld dodges key spells.

Tips:

  • Wait out mage CC before diving in.

  • Prioritize Phantom Shard combo before using Ultimate.

Mages She Excels Against:

  • Valir

  • Gord

  • Cyclops

Mages That Can Outrange/Outzone:

  • Yve (ultimate zoning)

  • Pharsa (flight mobility + burst)

🥷 Obsidia Analysis Against Assassins

Assassins are high burst, but also vulnerable if they fail. So is Obsidia.

Strengths:

  • Ultimate Pull stops Assassins in their tracks.

  • Shadowmeld mobility keeps her unpredictable.

Tips:

  • Stay near allies; punish failed dives with Bone Needle + Shard burst.

  • Mirror assassin movement and counter-engage.

Assassin Matchups She Outplays:

  • Hayabusa

  • Natalia

  • Saber

Assassin Matchups That Require Fast Reaction:

  • Ling (high aerial mobility)

  • Lancelot (dash-heavy duels)

⚕️ Obsidia Analysis Against Supports

Supports play defensively, but Obsidia can remove them early if played well.

Strengths:

  • Shard control punishes grouped targets.

  • Phantom burst deletes low-HP supports.

Tips:

  • Use Shadowmeld to ignore CC attempts.

  • Always finish off supports during objectives to reduce enemy sustain.

Supports Obsidia Bullies:

  • Rafaela

  • Estes

  • Angela

Supports That Outlast Her Trades:

  • Faramis (delayed death)

  • Floryn (AoE sustain + burst resistance)

🧠 Obsidia Analysis Against Fighters

Can Obsidia handle durable brawlers? Absolutely. Here's why:

Strengths:

  • Shred Tanks with Shards: Her passive scales with shard stacks, which Fighters naturally feed during brawls.

  • Reposition with Shadowmeld: Allows her to dance around slow melee attackers.

  • Ultimate Tether Cancels Fighter Initiations: Use this to interrupt dashes and gap-closers.

Tips:

  • Bait out Fighter skills, then punish with Bone Needle.

  • Use enhanced Shadowmeld to reposition around Fighters and break their formations.

Fighter Matchups Obsidia Excels Against:

  • Badang

  • Lapu-Lapu

  • Zilong

Fighter Matchups That Require Caution:

  • Terizla (zone-heavy damage)

  • X.Borg (sustain vs burst matchup)

🏋️‍♂️ Obsidia Analysis Against Tanks

How does Obsidia fare against Tanky frontliners?

Strengths:

  • Shard Scaling: Her damage ignores front-line tankiness if allowed to scale.

  • Ultimate Combo: Can displace tanks, exposing backline.

Tips:

  • Don’t waste full shard stacks on tanks—kite them and zone for better targets.

  • Use Bone Needle to punish clumped enemies with high HP.

Tank Matchups Obsidia Can Outscale:

  • Fredrinn

  • Belerick

  • Gatotkaca

Tank Matchups That Delay Her Power Spike:

  • Johnson (high mobility)

  • Khufra (anti-blink CC)

✨ Final Thoughts: Is Obsidia Worth Maining?

Yes Obsidia is a high-risk, high-reward hero who rewards skillful play and map awareness. If you're comfortable with positioning, combo execution, and tracking enemy cooldowns, Obsidia becomes a ranked-climbing powerhouse.

She performs best when paired with:

  • Tanks that peel for her (e.g., Lolita, Baxia)

  • Supports with sustain (e.g., Floryn, Mathilda)

Avoid when:

  • Enemy has 2+ dive assassins

  • Poor vision or lack of CC control
