Mastering Obsidia in Mobile Legends: Skill Breakdown, Combos, Counter and Gameplay Tips

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.

Tips:

  • Use Shadowmeld to ignore CC attempts.

🏋️‍♂️ 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.

  • Fredrinn

  • Belerick

✨ 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
