Oberon is average. There's really nothing he can do that other frames can't do better. Oberon's skillset forces his gameplay to "try" to be a Jack of All trades but he ends but being mediocre in all areas, especially if you want to be useful to your team in the endgame.

Oberon's Smite and Hallowed ground lacks the power and utility to justifies the mod slots, and those 2 abilities has almost no CC to justfiy it's use.

His ult, Reckoning is pretty much an slight improvement of Mag's Crush with faster Cast Time and better damage vs Corpus and Heavies but does little to Infested and it becomes difficult to reap the benefits of Health orb drops when you get to the lvls where you kill nothing at all with your ult.

His Heal, has it's pros and cons. Pros being it regens an appreciable amount of health but cons being the long travel time and long healing time which makes it more of a clutch heal and a useless preemptive buff, especially when tons of enemies surrounds you.

So not only is Oberon's offensive capabilities diminished by enemy types and scaling, his supportive role is almost non existant. And this is not whether you can't "use" him right or can't "mod" him right. It's not particularly difficult to use 4 abilities that operate on basic "Fire and forget" mechanics nor is it hard to read the details of Mods. In my opinion, Oberon competes with Valkyr for the "Exemplar" of poorly tested and balanced frames. I honestly can't bear the thought of using those two without a Potato.

Any weapon would go with Oberon in his current state as with pretty much all frames except Volt and I suggest building Aklex if you can because it's a significant improvement over the single variant and offers decent versatility, higher crit and status chance.
