Overview
- Briefly introduce Obsidia's role in the game (Mage, Support, Tank, etc.). - Mention their general playstyle (e.g., burst damage, crowd control, sustain). - Give a very short piece of lore, if you know it.
Strengths
- Is it laning? (e.g., "Excellent at harassing enemies in lane with her long-range abilities.") - Team fights? (e.g., "Provides strong crowd control in team fights, disrupting enemy formations.") - Early, mid, or late game? (e.g., "Strong early game presence, allowing her to snowball into a powerful mid-game threat.")
Weaknesses
- Laning? (e.g., "Susceptible to ganks due to lack of mobility.") - Team fights? (e.g., "Can be easily focused down in team fights if caught out of position.") - Specific heroes? (e.g., "Struggles against heroes with high magic resistance.")
Crit build
- High Burst Potential: Critical hits are all about dealing a massive spike of damage in a single attack. The idea is to amplify Obsidia's damage output, making her skills and even basic attacks hit much harder when they crit. - Surprise Factor: People don't expect a mage to build crit. This can catch opponents off guard, especially if they underestimate your damage potential. - Objective Control: A crit build could help with taking down turrets and objectives faster, as basic attacks become more potent. - Fun Factor: Let's be honest, sometimes it's just fun to try something different and see if you can make it work! Landing those big crits can be satisfying. Important Caveats: - Inconsistency: Crit builds rely on chance. You might have games where you get lucky and crit a lot, and other games where you barely crit at all. - Squishiness: Crit builds often sacrifice defensive items, making you more vulnerable. - Better Alternatives: In most cases, a standard mage build with magic power and cooldown reduction will be more reliable and consistent on Obsidia. Basically, a crit build is a high-risk, high-reward strategy. It could work in certain situations, but it's not the most optimal or consistent way to play Obsidia.
Tanky but deadly
Emblem: Tank Emblem Set - Why: The Tank Emblem Set is the foundation of this build because it provides the base stats that make you more durable. It gives you extra HP, armor, and magic resistance, which are all essential for surviving longer in fights. Talents: - Tier 1: Vitality (+HP) - Why: HP (Health Points) is the most basic form of survivability. The more HP you have, the more damage you can absorb before being taken down. It's a straightforward way to increase your overall tankiness. In the early game, the extra HP can make a significant difference in trades and skirmishes. - Tier 2: Inspire (+Cooldown Reduction) - Why: Cooldown Reduction (CDR) allows you to use your skills more frequently. This is important for a few reasons: - More Damage: If Obsidia's damage comes from her skills, CDR means you can deal more damage over time. - More Utility: If Obsidia has crowd control or supportive abilities, CDR lets you use them more often, helping your team and disrupting the enemy. - More Mobility (Potentially): If Obsidia has a dash or movement skill, CDR can help you escape dangerous situations more frequently. - Tier 3 (Core Talent): Tenacity (Increased Defenses at Low HP) - Why: This is the core of the "deadly" aspect of the build. Tenacity provides a significant boost to your Physical and Magical Defense when your HP drops below 40%. This has a few key effects: - Surprise Factor: Enemies will think they can easily finish you off when you're low, but suddenly you become much harder to kill. This can bait them into making mistakes. - Outplay Potential: The increased defenses give you a window to survive burst damage and potentially turn the fight around. You might be able to heal up, use a defensive item, or unleash a powerful counter-attack. - Extended Survivability: Even if you don't outplay the enemy, the extra defenses will buy you more time for your teammates to arrive and help you. In summary:
Battle Spell
- Why it's good: Obsidia needs to be able to cast her spells to deal damage. If she's constantly being stunned or slowed, she can't do her job. Purify removes those effects, allowing her to continue dealing damage and stay alive.
Obsidian Shatter
Why "Obsidian Shatter?" - Obsidian: Connects directly to the hero's name and theme. - Shatter: Implies a sudden, powerful burst of damage, which is what you're aiming for with a crit build. It suggests breaking the enemy's defenses quickly. So, when Obsidia is in her "Obsidian Shatter" phase, she's at her most dangerous, ready to unleash devastating critical hits and shatter her opponents!
Best With Khufra
- Khufra: Khufra is another tank with strong crowd control. His Bouncing Ball and Tyrant's Rage can disrupt enemy formations and create openings for Obsidia to deal damage. Khufra's ability to interrupt dashes is also valuable for keeping mobile assassins away from Obsidia.
Watch Out For Belerick
- Damage Reflection: Belerick's passive, Deadly Thorns, reflects a percentage of the damage he takes back to the attacker as magic damage. Obsidia, as a mage who relies on burst damage, will trigger this passive a lot. This means she's essentially hurting herself when she tries to burst down Belerick. The more damage she does, the more damage she takes back. - High HP and Sustain: Belerick is naturally tanky with high HP, and he can build items to further increase his health and sustain. This makes him difficult for Obsidia to kill quickly. She might not have enough damage to burst him down before he can recover or before his team can help him. - Taunt: Belerick's Guardian's Thorn taunts enemies, forcing them to attack him. This can pull Obsidia away from her intended targets and make her focus on Belerick, who can easily withstand her damage. - Disruption: Belerick's ultimate, Nature's Shield, provides a shield and slows nearby enemies. This can disrupt Obsidia's positioning and make it harder for her to land her skill shots effectively. Basically, Belerick's damage reflection, high HP, taunt, and disruption abilities make him a very difficult target for Obsidia to deal with. He can withstand her damage, reflect it back at her, and disrupt her ability to deal damage to other targets.
