Strengths
Excuse my poor english on some parts lol a friendly guide for players wanting to try obsidia Pros: -obsidia has strong burst in 1v1 situation with or without ultimate -positioning is a must since most marksman is very squishy or relies only on basic attacks and skills leaving out items to build for them to sustain themselves so as always marksman should always be behind the frontlines doing freehits, but some marksman is strong 1v1 and of course obsidia joins the list -second skill carries the game with insane entries and perfect use for escaping team fights
Weaknesses
Cons: -more stacks doesn't mean more damage since only a portion of the actual auto(basic attack) is converted per shard, some still thinks building att. Spd items works best but lacks the att. Dmg making the shards deals damage A good example of this is if you have 100 basic attack damage one shard(total of 25) deals only 7 attack damage so its better to build hybrid builds leaning towards more on high attack damage
Hybrid build
You can swap out your boots for golden staff since you should rely more on att. Dmg crit from has claw is not needed much just its lifesteal effect Haas claw For lifesteal Corrosion scythe Slow, att. Spd Rapid boots For movement and good for exiting early team fights Blade of despair More att. Dmg the more your passive hurts and that 7 percent times 25 deals more damage the higher your att. Dmg Hunter strike Movement spd + att. Dmg Malefic gun Range+penetration+damage
Marksman
War cry since obsidia's has more advantage in 1v1 Master assassin same reason as war cry Thrill for more adaptive att.
Battle Spell
Flicker for engage and exit in team fights Or purify for cc heavy enemy
Late game would be your dominant
Laning phase(til 5mins) Focus on taking enemy towers gold, keep watch on map for ganks, priority taking the gold crab, more gold= early item Mid game(5 to 12mins) Rotate to mid for double lane since mid laners should be roaming the map about now, or swap lane with exp when he is dominant on his match and winning lane so he can win your lane too Late game(15mins onward) Pick off anyone who dares to be alone or going solo with your penetration item(malefic gun) and high att.damage(from BOD and hunter strike) even tanky hero should fall or forced to recall with what you dealt to them
Best With Angela
Survivability and heal plus some extra damage
Watch Out For Beatrix
Been using bea to counter obsidia mains Shotgun - just wait on bush or suprise with 2nd + flicker combo Smg - with malefic gun(extra range) and good outplay Rocket + inspire - just try it Sniper - takes skills
