Nazder, any frame could always perform in T3 defense with good weapons.

It's not that he's useless or even bad, it's that MOST of his skills are useless. Smite does a decent amount of damage to one enemy, then fires orbs that hardly ever hit anything. Hallowed Ground... Just lol. Piss damage over a weird range, only decent for Infested, a dangerous waste of energy anywhere else. Renewal's healing rate is quite pissy unless you specifically mod around it, and it can be said that at lower levels you shouldn't be getting hurt, but at higher levels enemies will deal 10x the total heal amount in a second. It's only good for reviving, but even then the energy cost is quite steep. His only good skill is his ult, dealing above average damage for an ult, and providing arguably better healing than Renewal. But that makes him another (considerably inferior) Nova.

I want to make something clear, he is NOT BAD. At this point none of the frames are bad, they all have something to contribute to any team against any faction. But most of Oberon's skills are useless, and even though I enjoy playing him, it doesn't change the fact the he's a poorly designed frame.
