Iso-8

Cull Obsidian is a Protector who absorbs the majority of enemy attacks, so equipping him with the Fortifier Iso-8 class will boost his mitigation by providing extra Barrier and survivability. However, he can also be an effective Raider, since he passively counterattacks enemies who attack his Omen or Black Order allies. As a Raider, his passive damage is enhanced due to increased Crit Chance and Crit Damage, making those counterattacks hit even harder.

Both Fortifier and Raider are strong options for Cull, depending on whether you want to focus on his durability or capitalize on his counterattack potential.

T4 Priority

S – Special ability

U – Ultimate ability

P – Passive ability

B – Basic ability

Special – On War Offense with 3 Omen allies, Cull Obsidian will call a random Omen ally to attack the primary target and clear all negative effects from himself and all Omen allies (up from clearing just 2 negative effects from himself). This means that, with his Special maxed, Cull gains an offensive component on War Offense—since the ability does no damage to enemies when not maxed—and the debuff clearing is expanded to the entire Omen team, removing all negative effects instead of just 2 from Cull Obsidian. This is a huge upgrade.

Ultimate – Deal increased damage to the primary target, and the bonus damage per Deathproof on Cull will be +25% (up from +10%), so his total damage output is significantly increased with this upgrade. Additionally, on War Offense with 3 Omen allies, Cull will copy and clear all positive effects (except Taunt and Stealth) from himself to each Omen ally. This means that the positive effects Cull previously copied and cleared from the primary target onto himself will now be spread to all his Omen allies, giving the entire team a strong set of buffs.

Passive – The first time any character takes a turn while Cull Obsidian has Taunt and is at or below 25% Health, he will heal himself for 40% of his Max Health. This passive healing can make a big difference in keeping him alive if he finds himself in a tough spot while protecting his team.

About Character

Cull Obsidian, also known as Black Dwarf, is one of the most formidable members of Thanos’s Black Order in the Marvel universe. He is renowned for his immense strength, brute force, and unwavering loyalty to Thanos. As the powerhouse of the Black Order, Cull Obsidian serves as the group’s primary enforcer, often leading charges into battle and overwhelming foes with his sheer physical might.

Unlike some of his more cunning or mystical teammates, Cull Obsidian relies on raw power and durability. He wields massive weapons—usually a giant mace or axe—which he uses to devastating effect against anyone who stands in the way of Thanos’s ambitions. His armored appearance and towering stature make him an intimidating presence on the battlefield, capable of absorbing and dealing tremendous amounts of damage.

Cull Obsidian’s role in the Black Order is that of a relentless juggernaut. He acts as Thanos’s shield and hammer, using his size and strength to protect his allies and crush his enemies. While he is not known for elaborate schemes or manipulation, his loyalty and effectiveness in combat make him an indispensable asset to any force led by Thanos.

Across comics, animated series, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Cull Obsidian is depicted as a nearly unstoppable force—a living weapon who embodies the destructive power of the Black Order. His dedication to Thanos and his willingness to face any opponent head-on have cemented him as one of Marvel’s most iconic cosmic bruisers.

Cull Obsidian is a Protector in Marvel Strike Force, built for exceptional durability and designed to safeguard his team. He plays a pivotal role in empowering Thanos by providing him with the Power Stone, enabling Thanos to become Empowered during battle. In War Offense, when Cull Obsidian is part of the Omen team, he gains Taunt for 2 turns on spawn, immediately drawing enemy attacks and shielding his allies.

Cull’s mitigation is particularly strong. Whenever his Health drops to certain thresholds (75%, 50%, and 25%), he passively gains a stack of Deathproof. While he has either Deathproof or Regeneration, Cull Obsidian’s Resistance skyrockets by 1000%, making it extremely difficult for enemies to land debuffs on him. He can also actively gain Deathproof and heal himself when using his Special or Basic abilities, further enhancing his survivability.

Cull Obsidian’s protective nature goes beyond just soaking up damage—whenever an enemy attacks an Omen or Black Order ally, Cull will counterattack that enemy, serving as a deterrent and adding extra pressure on opponents. He also has the ability to copy and clear all positive effects from a primary target onto himself. In War Offense, after copying buffs to himself, he then distributes those positive effects (except Taunt and Stealth) to all Omen allies, spreading crucial buffs across the team.

Additionally, Cull can clear all negative effects from himself with his Special, and in War Offense, he extends this cleanse to the entire team. His Basic attack can also grant Counter and Deathproof, boosting both his offensive and defensive capabilities.

Overall, Cull Obsidian is a highly resilient Protector who not only absorbs damage for his team but also shares valuable buffs and retaliates against threats, making him a cornerstone of both Omen and Black Order teams in War Offense.
