Review

Obol positions himself as a DoT specialist, with many annoying extra effects on his abilities, such as removing buffs and stunning.

His S1 has a chance to apply a DoT, this being his weakest skill. However, his S2 can convert 2 random buffs into a stack of DoT, thus removing buffs from the enemy in an AOE fashion. Then, his S3 can apply both stun and up to 3 DoTs per targets in AOE.

Just from the buff removal and the AOE stun, Obol can be a great option in PVP due to the stun, and Aurora due to the buff removal. His ability to stack DoTs, however, has been greatly nerfed on launch, which had a huge impact on his viability in the DoT team.

Pros & Cons

Pros

AOE Stun and Dispel are powerful tools.
DoTs deal their damage regardless of gear.

Cons

It’s hard to reliably land DoTs with Obol.
Needs skill levels on both S3 and S2.

After the main body's turn, a Follow-up Attack on the main target dealing 240%+4200 damage, applies [SPD+] for 3 turns to the main Animus, applies and increases their Turn Meter by 25%.

Widely used and incredibly potent all-around supportive option, granting a 25% gauge boost on use as well as [SPD+] boost with 100% uptime. It also deals decent damage when used. Possesses most of the best supportive matrixes, further adding to its flexibility and wide use cases. Loses most of its value when used in teams that already have a team member granting the [SPD+] buff with good uptime.

The go-to Shell for Obol that allows him to cycle faster in longer battles. If you already have a Speed buffer in your team though, the value of Jackal Guard drops quite a bit. Battlewill is best, BUT it is not available on Jackal Guard, so you will have to sacrifice the 6PC Inferno if you want to use it.

Before the owner acts, unleashes the owner Animus' full potential making their next skill cost no CD and increasing their SPD by an additional 10% for 2 turn(s). In PvP modes, after being affected by Codex of Magic, skills that did not go on cooldown will have their maximum cooldown permanently increased by 1 turn. (a single skill can only be affected once by this increase).

The cooldown of the skill can't be reduced.

An absurdly strong combo Shell that allows the wearer to skip the cooldown of the ability used on the turn this Shell is active. The wearer can use their ultimate or skill twice back to back, unlocking usually impossible personal and team combos. Also grants the wearer a 10% SPD boost after use for 2 turns. Mainly used in PvE burst/combo compositions or PVP. Can be used on both Supports and DPS situationally.

An alternative to Jackal Guard for more burst oriented teams - yes, even DoT can be build bursty but you need Shadow Sania. The goal is to stack as much DoT on the enemy so she can detonate them all after and Codex helps with that. Battlewill is best, BUT it is not available on Codex of Magic, so you will have to sacrifice the 6PC Inferno if you want to use it.
