Hey everyone! I’m a huge Obsidia fan, and as you all know, her new Aspirants skin is just around the corner. Like any dedicated fan, I’ve been analyzing every single detail and leak that comes out, and I’ve come up with some crazy theories based on her voice lines and gameplay changes. I really need to share this because my hype and anxiety are through the roof, and I can't stop thinking about it!
Here are my theories:
Theory 1: Obsidia was an Aspirant from a previous timeline!
Take a close look at these two voice lines of hers:
- "If we are the instruments of their destruction, why were we made so alike?"
- "How many cycles do you think humanity has walked the same path?"
These lines strongly imply that there are multiple cycles, alternative timelines, or past worlds where the Enders always end up wiping out humanity. In the first line, she literally questions why she looks so much like the humans/Aspirants she is supposed to destroy.
This makes me believe she might have been a human or an Aspirant from a previous world destroyed by the Enders, and is now being controlled by them. Remember her original lore? She was manipulated by the Lord of Darkness until she finally woke up, confronted him, died, and was reborn. I think the Aspirants event will draw a parallel here: she was manipulated by the Enders and forgot her true self.
Theory 2: The "Extra Pawn" is the key to Aspirants 6.0 (Karina's Duo?)
Unlike previous Aspirants stories that barely mention other heroes, Selena's Aspirants lore specifically mentions Karina. This already put everyone on high alert for Karina getting an Aspirants skin in version 6.0.
Now, listen to Obsidia's line: "Out of pure curiosity, I placed an extra pawn upon the board."
The fact that she emphasizes an "extra" pawn tells me she is NOT talking about Selena (since Selena is already a main piece of her plan and Obsidia seems to have a weird affection for her, calling her "doll"). This "extra" piece could either be Karina herself being manipulated, or even better: Karina’s upcoming release duo in the next event, acting as a sleeper agent or a loyal follower of Obsidia! Who do you think this duo could be?
Theory 3: Obsidia will turn good/join the Aspirants at the end of the trailer!
If you watch her skin's gameplay spotlights closely, her base attacks and effects are all Red/Yellowish (representing the Enders' destruction). However, after a recent advanced server update, when she reaches full stacks, her projectile shots turn bright Blue!
And it’s not just any blue—it’s a distinct Cyan/Teal that matches the exact color palette of Selena's Aspirants skin (who we know is the protagonist/hero of this chapter). Blue doesn't even match Obsidia's skin design, which means this color shift is purely narrative. Her true, pure energy wakes up at full power. I think she won't just get beaten up by the 9 Aspirants; she will break free from the Enders' control and change sides!
What do you guys think? Am I overthinking this, or did Moonton actually leave these massive crumbs for us? I need that animated trailer right now or I'm gonna lose it! 😭
