Obsidia, the Sovereign of Dark’s End, will soon be a playable character in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. While her official release date remains TBA, her skillset has already caught the attention of players eager to try a new kind of marksman in this MOBA. With unique mechanics that scale her power through Bone Shards, Obsidia brings a mix of calculated aggression and burst potential that could shake up the current meta.

This early look will break down her abilities and offer insights into how she might fit into the game. Whether you’re a marksman main or just curious about upcoming heroes, here’s what to expect from Obsidia.

Skill Overview and Mechanics

Obsidia’s passive, Return to the Bone, defines her entire kit. By damaging enemies, she collects Bone Fragments which convert into Bone Shards. These Bone Shards not only enhance her skills but automatically strike targets to deal bonus damage. The more Shards she holds, the more powerful—and volatile—she becomes. If she’s holding multiple Shards, dying causes her to lose some, which adds a layer of risk to her high-reward kit.

Here are her other skills:

• Bone Needle: Deals heavy single-target damage, but when enhanced with 5 Bone Shards, it transforms into Abyssal Bone Needle, piercing through multiple enemies in a line. With its short cooldown and scaling, this skill is likely to be her main poke and clear tool.

• Shadowmeld: Gives her a burst of speed and, when enhanced with 12 Bone Shards, makes her untargetable for a brief moment. This can help her reposition, escape, or bait abilities in tight fights.

• Wrath of Bone (Ultimate): is an area burst that deals instant damage and grants Bone Shards for each hero hit. When upgraded (at 20 Bone Shards), it not only gives more Shards but temporarily lifts the cap, letting Obsidia spike in power for a short time.

Playstyle and Strategy

Obsidia looks built for aggressive lane control and calculated skirmishes. Her strengths lie in sustained poke, smart positioning, and skill timing. She likely thrives in teamfights where her enhanced AoE tools can land multiple hits and rapidly build up Bone Shards.

Using Bone Needle to clear waves and chip enemies from range will be key early on. Shadowmeld should be reserved for escapes or quick engages, especially once it becomes untargetable. In teamfights, a well-timed Wrath of Bone can instantly tilt the momentum in your favor—especially when it helps you spike past your normal Bone Shard cap.

Players should focus on:

• Timing skill enhancements carefully based on Bone Shard count.
• Using her second skill reactively for dodging burst or CC.
• Maximizing teamfight impact by hitting multiple enemies with her ultimate.

Obsidia brings a layered, timing-based style to the marksman role that’s perfect for players who enjoy scaling damage and reactive plays. Her potential as a high-damage, AoE threat with self-enhancing abilities could make her a major pick in both ranked and competitive matches. Until her release date is confirmed, players can keep an eye on the test servers and official announcements for more.

And when the time comes, the best way to experience her skills in action? Play Mobile Legends on PC with BlueStacks—it’s smoother, faster, and perfect for testing the full scope of her potential.
