Talk:Oberon (Warframe)/@comment-24.74.4.230-20141002072133

as much as i want to like oberon he suffers the same problems as half the frames in the game. he is godly until you get to high level enemies and then his powers just dont kill them anymore. at that point smite and reckoning turn into poor crowd control powers that need to be spammed more than other options to be effective. hallowed ground being stationary in a game based on run and gun shooting has its own obvious issues. renewal even starts to fall off pretty bad, because spike damage becomes so high you just cant save people with it.

there is a reason frames like rhino, loki, excalibur, nova, trinity, and others get played the most. they dont rely on their powers to do any real damage. they are there only for protection, control, or other secondary benefits. at high levels that is all that still functions well anymore.

that said, oberon is an excellent frame for beginners who do not have good mods yet. his renewal ability combined with high armor and health will allow him to survive more punishment than most frames, except maybe rhino.
