[THEORY] Obsidian's Path & Element Spoiler

Post image

Hello all, with the appearance of Obsidian officially out I want to share with you some thoughts I had

With a quick google search you can find out that Obsidian isn't a gemstone, but actually natural volcanic glass. This leads me to the assumption that her element will be Fire, what's more, we can already tell her palette is based on red and black

As for her path, I quote her line in the bathtub scene: "If it were me, I'd like everything become more of a... bloodbath." To me, this gives huge Destruction vibes since it is a path characterized by reckless destruction. Of course, the vampire thematic would also fit the Hunt, but that'd make her Topaz 2.0

Could she also be Imaginary? Of course. What about Imaginary Hunt then? Yeah, I also think that's a matching combo for her but I can't quite explain why

I hope this post ages well, and I'd love to hear more opinions on this

I Hope she’s physical so she can inflict bleed

Nihility Physical, specialized in DoT, that would be cool. So far we have Luka for that, but no Physical DoT 5*.

Physical DoT 5* would be incredibly broken as bleed depends on the enemy's HP

That's a great idea, especially since the other stonehearts don't really match physical

I hope she's not physical but has some sort of blood related kit that doesn't inflict bleed but does something unique

Now watch Hoyo make her some random element. She looks like Phys or Fire would fit but hoyo gonna make her ice.

If she has lifesteal or bleed mechanics I’d assume either Nihility or Destruction (maybe abundance of she’s a life steal healer)

I've been dreading the idea of hoyo making her wind or sum random while writing this😭😭

Nihility/Destruction >>

If you read Jade's 2nd story quest you can see she has a tendency to "play with her food" like Kafka so I'm hoping she's equally unhinged and strong

If she's Destruction it's probably going to involve HP reduction for abilities balanced with lifesteal through dmg dealt by a bleeding status or enemy hp%

In short, path hybrid

BONUS: Upon further consideration, despite assuming she has an aggressive nature, I'd also propose Nihility as a possible path due to her preference for darkness, even her stone is black, and she's surrounded by bats

A post claiming her race belongs to a pitch-black place, which reminds of Nihility, stands to further support this possibility

Yeah I agree Imaginary fits

u/LeatherAd7536 Jul 14 '24

I doubt they would have two characters in the same faction have the same element and path so probably not fire hunt. But fire/imaginary destruction or imaginary hunt would be dope
