you underestimate renewal. modded right, it adds a formidable barrier against damage. used at just the right moment, you can have your health regenerate fast while having shields down, preventing death. The fact that it takes so long to reach players is it's only negative imo, i use oberon often in place if rhino because i can survive on higher levels.

Oberon's smite is exceptional against grineer, it targets the toughest enemies using alloy armor, dealing +75% more damage. in comparison, rhino's skill deals blast damage, which is average except for ferrite armor, which it has a resistance to blast.
