ABOUT CULL OBSIDIAN
A ferocious combatant like few others, Cull Obsidian is always seeking a truly challenging fight to impress his master, Thanos. Wielding his one-of-a-kind multi-weapon, Cull tears his opponent’s defenses apart and stops heroes in their tracks. Lord Thanos won’t be stopped so long as his imposing enforcer, Cull, stands by his side ready to strike down any opposition.
Cull Obsidian’s Mechanics
- Cull Obsidian is a powerful, bruiser Champion that gets stronger as he wins more and more fights. With ready access to his new Rout Buff, Cull can bypass Auto-Block with ease. Additionally, his new Thanos’s Favor Buffs can provide large, reliable increases to his Attack and overall damage output and staying aggressive can extend their duration to keep the damage high throughout the fight. Gain enough Thanos' Favor Buffs and he can even gain True Accuracy, allowing him to ignore difficult defensive abilities like Evade and Auto-Block.

STRENGTHS
New Rout Buff to bypass Auto-Block
- Cull Obsidian has the option to activate his Rout Buff in order to allow his attacks to ignore Auto-Block effects. This can be used especially well against enemies that have a more reliable Auto-Block effect like Iron Man (Infinity War) as he gets low on health. The bonus Energy Damage is also good to combine with his Thanos’s Favor Buffs.
- Unlike other Champions, Cull Obsidian can use the Parry Mastery against non-contact attacks to help with some of the Champions that can be quite tricky to land a Parry on.
- Cull Obsidian has a few options when it comes to gaining his Persistent Charges. By using his Solo Synergies he ramps up much more quickly and his Special 1 Attack can be used to protect his combo meter.
- If you’re the type of player who rarely gets hit, you can go all-in on his Solo Synergies and get him to max Persistent Charges in a couple of fights.
Very Buff Reliant
- Between his Thanos’s Favor Buffs and his Rout Buff, Cull Obsidian is very reliant on Buffs to get the most out of his Damage Output. Any Champion that can strip them away quickly will have a much easier time fighting Cull.
MISSIONS FROM THANOS
Cull Obsidian has 3 Missions to complete, which may be done in any order. Each Mission can be completed multiple times and doing so grants 1 Persistent Charge.
- Mission 1: Break their Defenses: Knockout any Champion.
- Mission 2: Crush their Hope: Knockout an Avenger.
- Mission 3: End their Resistance: Knockout a Champion above 95% Health without the Combo Meter resetting during the fight.
THANOS’S FAVOR - Max Persistent Charges 10
- At the beginning of the fight, 1 Thanos’s Favor Buff is gained per Persistent Charge. These Buffs last 10 seconds each and they gain effects based on the number of charges. These Buffs have their duration paused for 1 second each time an attack is landed.
Thanos’s Favor Buffs - Effects from Persistent Charge
- 1+ Each Buff grants +10% Attack
- 3+ Each Buff grants +40 Critical Damage Rating
- 5+ Each Buff provides True Accuracy, allowing attacks to ignore Evade and Auto-Block effects.
- 8+ Each Buff grants +5% Rout Buff Duration.
WELL-TIMED BLOCKS
- Cull Obsidian’s unique shield allows him to use the Parry Mastery against Projectile attacks (only if the Mastery is unlocked and active).
DASH BACK AND HOLD BLOCK FOR 1.2 SECONDS - Once Per Fight
- Cull Obsidian overcharges his weapon to gain a Rout Buff for 8 seconds. This causes his opponent to suffer -100% Auto-Block Ability Accuracy and also grants his attacks an additional burst of Energy Damage equal to 120% of the damage dealt.
- 50% chance per strike to inflict an Armor Break Debuff, reducing Armor by 1333 for 11 seconds. This effect gains +15% duration and Ability Accuracy for each Persistent Charge.
Cull Obsidian's overwhelming presence reduces the opponent's Armor Up Ability Accuracy by 100% during his Special Attacks.

RECOMMENDED MASTERIES
Precision
- While Cull Obsidian gains many Buffs to increase his Critical Damage and Attack Rating, he lacks a way to increase his Critical Hit Chance. Grabbing Precision grants a fairly large damage increase to Cull Obsidian.

Developer Notes: Mission 3 means that Cull’s opponent must begin the fight with 95% or higher health, and Cull cannot lose his combo meter during the fight to gain the Persistent Charge. Also, these Missions may all be completed in the same fight, granting Cull 3 Persistent Charges.MY QUESTION:
1) So it means I can have all 10 Persistent Charge in one fight? The key sentence here is "Each Mission can be completed multiple times and doing so grants 1 Persistent Charge". It doesn't say anywhere that it's limit to only 3 Persistent Charge per fight.
You can see that neither of those 3 missions can be done more than 1 time in a single fight, since it requires the opponent to be K.O.
Who knows maybe Corvius will drop via RNG, I get Proxima from Round 1, and get Cull then I will be at 3 of the 4 Black Order Members. If all that works then hoping Ebony Maw will eventually be a login champion.
So, since you can't knock out a champion more than once in a fight, you can't collect extra charges.
Did anyone else experience this? Or was it just lag/sleep-deprivation on my part? I don't think it's a bug; but has his Dash attack got an unusually long reach? (a large hitbox, or whatever the terminology is?)?
Thanks for any feedback.
Corvus needs more help.
