Obsidia has been added to Mobile Legends: Bang Bang as a Marksman that behaves more like a finisher. Her skill Bone Energy converts into Bone Shards, then every Basic Attack spends those shards for extra hits that inherit a portion of attack effects. The right build multiplies each shot, so that you can quick burst any enemy.

Hunt of Bone tethers to a target and disables displacement, while Phantom Shadowmeld gives a short speed surge and better uptime during the ultimate. So, to help you play Obsidia like a pro, here’s a complete guide covering her skills, best builds, emblems, spells, combos, counters, and even tips to win Gold Lane.

Obsidia – Skill Showcase And Analysis

Passive: Return to Bone. Deal damage to gain Bone Energy, faster through skills and against heroes. Full energy becomes a Bone Shard, stored up to a limit. Every Basic Attack releases all stored shards at the target, each dealing Physical Damage and partially inheriting attack effects. Takedowns add a shard instantly. This is the engine that scales with on-hit effects and attack speed.

Skill 1: Abyssal Bone Needle. Fires a piercing projectile that grants energy and triggers the passive if it hits a hero. Low cooldown and useful for quick wave control. Use to stack energy safely in lane and maintain tempo in fights.

Skill 2: Phantom Shadowmeld. Brief surge of Movement Speed and repositioning. During Hunt of Bone, the duration improves and the cooldown shortens. Use as a dodge or chase before and during tethers. Do not panic tap. Time it to slip past crowd control windows.

Ultimate: Hunt of Bone. Fires Bones of Wrath, latches to the first enemy hero, then tethers. Movement drags Obsidia within a radius, and Obsidia can move through terrain while firing. Make sure you secure vision and sync with allies before pulling the trigger.

Best Obsidia Item Build in MLBB

Obsidia thrives on attack effects and high uptime. The core for her build is to convert rapid Basic Attacks into multiple on-hit procs through Bone Shards. When armor stacks rise, add penetration. When magical burst appears, add shielding. Boots flex to lane needs.

Item	Reason
Corrosion Scythe	Attack speed and on-hit slow let shards stick to targets longer, extending chase windows and raising total hits over time.
Demon Hunter Sword	Percent HP damage scales with shard frequency, melting tanks that try to front line into a tether.
Golden Staff	Converts crit into more on-hit triggers, letting shard volleys apply item effects quicker for stable DPS.
Malefic Gun	Physical penetration to punch through armor and towers, improving shard damage against tanks.
Rose Gold Meteor	Lifeline shield and Magic Defense to survive mages and pick threats during tethers.
Sky Piercer	Late Physical Attack and penetration spike that finishes the build with reliable single target pressure.
Boots	Swift Boots for attack speed, Tough Boots into heavy magic and control, Warrior Boots into early marksman duels.

Two strong alternates exist. A crit leaning path uses Berserker’s Fury plus Malefic Gun and Rose Gold Meteor for burst and safety. A sustain pivot uses Haas’s Claws when lanes are lost and supports are absent.

Best Battle Spell For Obsidia

Spell	Reason
Flicker	Helps Obsidia get out of sticky situatinos after tether. Better than purify.
Purify	The ultimate pulls you into close range. Purify removes hard control that would otherwise delete Obsidia during ult.

Best Emblems For Obsidia

Marksman Emblem. Take Swift for attack speed, Bargain Hunter to reach items earlier, and Weakness Finder to slow attack and movement on frequent hits. Weakness Finder procs often through shards and raises chase odds after an ultimate latch.

Assassin Emblem. Take Agility, Weapon Master, and Killing Spree for mid fight sustain on takedowns when playing pick heavy drafts. Use this when supports and tanks can start fights and you plan to clean up.

Gameplay Tips And Tricks For Obsidia

You need to lane with disciple, since overextending can cost you dearly. Try to last hit consistently, use Abyssal Bone Needle to tag enemy laners for energy, and trade only when Bone Shards are ready. Play close to minions and turret range until first item plus Boots.

Phantom Shadowmeld is your insurance policy for hooks and skillshots, so keep it ready. Best synergies to play with Obsidia are Angela, Estes, and Rafaela that extend uptime through healing and speed.

Tigreal and Atlas lock multiple targets, then Obsidia isolates one with Hunt of Bone. Burst mages such as Eudora and Aurora remove threats the moment a tether lands. So, try to pick these heroes to support her.

Obsidia Skill Combos

Now that you know how to play Obsidia, you should also know the best skill combos you can use with her. Below, we’ve mentioned some of her most popular skill combos:

1. Poke and Prep: Abyssal Bone Needle into a couple of Basic Attacks to build Bone Energy. Step back, repeat, and enter a fight with shards banked. This raises opening trade damage by a large margin.
2. All In Pick: Abyssal Bone Needle to tag, Hunt of Bone to latch, Basic Attacks during the drag, then Phantom Shadowmeld to keep contact through terrain. Keep firing while moving. Cast Abyssal Bone Needle again on cooldown to refresh energy.
3. Tower Chase: Wave clear with Abyssal Bone Needle, then Hunt of Bone under turret when allies arrive. Use Phantom Shadowmeld after the first turret shot to reposition slightly and exit on takedown lifesteal or shields.

How To Counter Obsidia in MLBB

Obsidia punishes short ganks that overextend and has a gameplay similar to Wan Wan. The tether can become a trap if the backline collapses quickly. So, you need to deny early farm and force the tether to commit to counter her. So, here are the best hero and items to counter Obsidia in MLBB:

Best Hero Counters

Bruno and Clint win early lane trades with fast, direct bursts that beat shard ramp. Deny waves, force recall timings, and fight before Corrosion Scythe lands.
Aurora and Selena provide immediate control that ends tethers on contact. Catch Obsidia on the approach and follow with a mid rotation to remove the threat.
Gusion and Saber delete on the first gap close. Track Phantom Shadowmeld. If the dash is down, pull the trigger and finish before Hunt of Bone can turn the duel.
Khufra and Franco punish telegraphed spacing. Control the brush, threaten hooks or bounces, and make every shard trade unsafe.

Best Item Counters

Antique Cuirass reduces sustained Physical Damage and lowers shard throughput on front liners.
Dominance Ice cuts attack speed and lifesteal, lowering shard value in long fights.
Blade Armor reflects crit leaning paths and punishes greedy trades near minions and turrets.
Wind of Nature grants brief Physical immunity for marksmen mirrors. Time it at the start of a tether to nullify the execution window.
