| Roger Counter Obsidia Full Raw Score Breakdown and Matchup Performance |
š„ Burst Damage (1.60 / 2.0): Human to Wolf, Poke to Execution
Roger excels in hybrid burst, thanks to his unique ability to shift between ranged Human Form and melee Wolf Form. This transformation chain allows Roger to initiate fights with poke, then dive in for the finish.
Combo Chain vs Obsidia:
- ✅ Open Fire (Human) - Applies poke damage and slow
- š Transform to Wolf - Dash-style transformation to close gap
- ✅ Bloodthirsty Howl - Boosts attack speed and lifesteal
- ✅ Lycan Pounce - High burst skill with a reset mechanic on kills/assists
Pair all that with his Execution Passive, which increases damage to targets below 40% HP, and Roger becomes a lethal finisher who punishes Obsidia the moment her HP dips.
šÆ Pro Tip: If Obsidia tries to escape with low HP, use Lycan Pounce to secure the kill — the reset keeps you mobile and threatening.
⚔️ Sustained DPS (1.55 / 2.0): Wolf Form Domination
Roger isn’t just a finisher his Wolf Form scales excellently in longer fights, especially mid-to-late game.
Why It Works:
- Bloodthirsty Howl enhances attack speed and lifesteal, letting him outlast Obsidia in melee skirmishes.
- His basic attacks in Wolf Form have solid scaling even without expensive items.
- Durability from lifesteal allows Roger to sustain during trades, unlike squishy Marksmen.
Obsidia relies on burst and fast trades. Roger can withstand the initial impact, then counter with overwhelming consistent DPS.
š§ Strategy Note: When Obsidia dives your team, flank from an angle, transform mid-fight, and shred her during her recovery phase.

š Mobility (1.20 / 1.5): Controlled Dashes with High Reward
Roger’s mobility is situational but smart perfect for navigating Obsidia’s chaotic fight patterns.
Tools at His Disposal:
- ✅ Transformation Dash - Lets Roger shift from Human to Wolf, closing gaps or escaping
- ✅ Lycan Pounce - A short blink with damage, low cooldown, and invincibility frames
- š Reset Mechanic - Lycan Pounce resets on assist/kill, giving Roger chain mobility
Obsidia may have elegant dash chains, but Roger’s targeted leaps are tactically superior for finishing or evading with precision.
❌ Anti-Sustain (1.00 / 1.5): No Debuffs, But Overwhelming Pressure
Roger doesn’t apply Grievous Wounds or healing reduction by default. However, he counters sustain by sheer aggression:
- Lifesteal + Execution makes his fights short , Obsidia doesn’t get to lifesteal long.
- Items like Sea Halberd or Dominance Ice complement his kit well.
- He forces Obsidia to play faster, and when she slips, he pounces.
⚔️ Build Suggestion: Add Sea Halberd when facing Obsidia’s spell vamp or regen-heavy builds.
š§ Crowd Control / Break Effects (0.55 / 1.0): Soft Control, No Disables
Roger’s crowd control is limited to a slow effect from his ranged form, Open Fire.
Limitations:
- No hard CC like stun or silence
- No way to break or cleanse Obsidia’s zone traps or slows
- Relies on mobility and burst, not disruption
⚠️ Risk: If Obsidia traps you with her Ultimate (Evil Queller hold), you must out-damage or out-move her no disable tools to interrupt her.
š Cooldown & Mana Efficiency (1.55 / 2.0): Energy-Free, Reset-Capable
Roger’s kit is incredibly efficient for sustained fighting and snowballing.
Why It’s Strong:
- ✅ No mana cost, every skill is free to use
- ✅ Low cooldowns, especially in Wolf Form
- ✅ Lycan Pounce resets, enabling multi-kill sequences or 1v2s
His form-switching rotation allows him to refresh his entire kit during fights. This gives Roger a massive uptime advantage against heroes like Obsidia who rely on cooldown cycling.
