Expected means a player can expect to obtain at least one of a drop every N attempts on average.
Nearly Guaranteed refers to the total number of attempts a player needs to obtain
a 1 in 10^2,3, and 4 probability not to have recieved a single drop (99%, 99.9%, and 99.99% probability to have received at least one drop).
The combined probability of multiple drops is 1 - ((1-A%) * (1-B%) * ...)

Trivia
- Oberon (also spelled Auberon) is classically portrayed as a king of the fairies in medieval and Renaissance literature. He is best known as a character in William Shakespeare's play A Midsummer Night's Dream, in which he is Consort to Titania, Queen of the Fairies.
- As of The Silver Grove update, Oberon's Renaissance bride
Titania has been made into a playable Warframe.
- As of The Silver Grove update, Oberon's Renaissance bride
- Oberon used to share his name with a mission node on Uranus, which in astronomy corresponded to one of Uranus' moons —

- Oberon bears the white stag's likeness with his pale coat, antlered default helmet, and cervine hooves.
- Oberon's close ties to the
Madurai polarity — a sharp, sweeping symbol linked primarily to damage mods — reinforce his theme as a zealous warrior.

- Oberon consecrates the ground in an angle of 90 / 100 / 120 / 180 degrees in front of him, spanning up to 8 / 10 / 12 / 15 meters, for 10 / 15 / 17 / 20 seconds. Enemies standing on the area of effect are dealt 25 / 50 / 75 / 100
Radiation damage with a 5 / 10 / 12 / 15%
Radiation status chance every half second, while allies are relinquished of any negative status effects and become immune to them for as long as they are standing on the area.
- Damage and status chance are affected by Ability Strength.
- Duration is affected by Ability Duration.
- Radius and angle are affected by Ability Range.
- The radius follows the expression Base Range + 11.25 × (Ability Range - 1)
- For example, with a maxed
Stretch, the radius will increase to
15 + 11.25 × (1.45 - 1) = 20.0625 meters.
- For example, with a maxed
- The angle follows the expression Base Angle + 135° × (Ability Range - 1)
- For example, with a maxed Stretch, the angle will increase to
180° + 135° × (1.45 - 1) = 240.75°). - Therefore, 234% Ability Range is needed to bring the angle up to 360°, making it a full circle. This will also increase the radius to 15 + 11.25 × (2.34 - 1) = 30.075 meters.
- For example, with a maxed Stretch, the angle will increase to
- The radius follows the expression Base Range + 11.25 × (Ability Range - 1)
- Status effect immunity applies to physical disabling effects such as knockdowns and staggers.
- It does not apply to Eximus energy drains or Nauseous Crawler disables.
Magnetic procs from Ancient Disruptors are resisted; however, Disruptors are still able to drain a small amount of energy with every attack.
Radiation procs, however, are not removed from already irradiated allies, but only from Oberon himself, and only with his own Hallowed Ground.
- It does not apply to Eximus energy drains or Nauseous Crawler disables.
- Enemies and allies must be grounded and standing on the area to be affected by Hallowed Ground.
- Flying enemies that are too high above the ground may not be affected by this ability.
- Ability Synergy:
- If Oberon or any allies affected by
Renewal stands on Hallowed Ground, they will receive the Iron Renewal buff, which grants 125 / 150 / 175 / 200 bonus armor for as long as Renewal is active. Once Renewal is deactivated, the armor buff will remain on all affected units for 20 more seconds.
- The armor bonus is affected by Ability Strength.
- Bonus armor is added after other armor increases (e.g. an Oberon with a maxed
Steel Fiber and
Intensify will have (150 × 2.1) + (200 × 1.3) = 575 armor).
- Buff duration is affected by Ability Duration.
- As
Link Armor scales with the player's armor, companions with this mod benefit twice from Iron Renewal, as the companion links into the player's increased armor and then gets buffed by Iron Renewal.
- Enemies that survive
Reckoning while standing on Hallowed Ground will have their armor permanently reduced by 10% / 15% / 20% / 30%.
- Armor reduction is affected by Ability Strength.
- Armor reduction is applied to the enemy's base armor when accounting multiple casts.

- The shimmering energy field encompassing the ground is affected by Oberon's chosen Warframe energy color.
- Main article: Hallowed Eruption
Hallowed Eruption is a Warframe Augment Mod for Oberon. Upon casting
Hallowed Ground again with a previous instance still active, the first one will immediately expire, dealing all remaining damage in a single instance with a chance to deal
Radiation proc. This mod also passively increases Hallowed Ground's duration.

- Enemies will traverse and fight through Hallowed Ground without any special attempts to evade its area of effect.
- Narrow pathways such as doorways and halls are effective at forcing groups of enemies to cluster into Hallowed Ground.
- Summoning multiple, overlapping layers of Hallowed Ground will deal the full combined damage over time to enemies.
- Hallowed Ground is most efficiently used in areas where constant enemy and ally activity is expected over an extended period of time.
- Hallowed Ground's status effect immunity can be used to pass through environmental traps unhindered, such as Grineer
Magnetic Sensor Bars and Corpus Laser Barriers.
- Note however that activating these traps in spy missions will still trigger vault alarms.

Duration:20% / 25% / 35% / 45% (bleedout slow) 20 s (buff) | |||
Range:10 / 15 / 20 / 25 m |
- Oberon channels a field around him with radius of 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 meters. Ally players entering the field will receive a buff which will regenerate 15 / 20 / 25 / 40 health every second, while allied summoned units affected will regenerate 5 / 6.7 / 8.3 / 13.3 health every second (1/3rd the normal rate), for as long as Renewal remains active, regardless of range. Fully healed allies are additionally cleared of all negative status effects.
- Initial heal and health over time are affected by Ability Strength.
- The duration of the expanding pulse is inversely affected by Ability Strength, meaning it reaches its total range faster the more Ability Strength is used.
- Field radius is affected by Ability Range.
- Allies affected by Renewal include all Warframes, Companions, Eidolon Lures, summoned allied units such as Specters, allied Invasion units, Hostages, Kavor Defectors, Sortie and Arbitrations Defense Operatives, and Defense Objects.
- Renewal will continue to heal all affected targets for the duration of the ability, even if all their health has been restored and regardless of distance. Buff will remain until skill is deactivated, Oberon runs out of energy, or Oberon/ally falls off the map.
- Incapacitated allies will have their bleedout time slowed by 20% / 25% / 35% / 45% for the ability's duration.
- Bleedout slow is affected by Ability Duration.
- Bleedout slow is capped at 90%.
- Renewal will show an additive increase to the bleedout timer, rather than slowing the rate at which it counts down.
- Allies will have their bleedout timer extended or reduced even if they are already incapacitated when Renewal starts/stops affecting them.
- As
Loyal Companion scales with the player's bleedout timer, companions with this mod benefit twice from Renewal, as the companion links into the player's extended bleedout and then gets buffed by Renewal, potentially allowing several minutes of bleedout.
- Ability Synergy: If Oberon or any allies affected by Renewal stands on
Hallowed Ground, they will receive the Iron Renewal buff, which grants 125 / 150 / 175 / 200 bonus armor for as long as Renewal is active. Once Renewal is deactivated, the armor buff will remain on all affected units for 20 more seconds.
- The armor bonus is affected by Ability Strength.
- Bonus armor is added after other armor increases (e.g. an Oberon with a maxed
Steel Fiber and
Intensify will have (150 × 2.1) + (200 × 1.3) = 575 armor).
- Buff duration is affected by Ability Duration.
- As
Link Armor scales with the player's armor, companions with this mod benefit twice from Iron Renewal, as the companion links into the player's increased armor and then gets buffed by Iron Renewal.
- Renewal drains 2 energy per second to remain activated. When allied targets are below their maximum health, Renewal will drain an additional 3 energy per second for every allied player and 1 energy per second for every allied summoned unit affected by its healing; Renewal will end if Oberon runs out of energy, it is dispelled, or if deactivated manually by pressing the ability key again (default 3 ).
- Activation cost is affected by Ability Efficiency.
- Energy drain per second and energy drain per target are affected by Ability Efficiency and Ability Duration, calculated by the following formula (minimum value of 25% of the unmodded value, ignore efficiency cap while calculating):
- Modified Cost = Initial Cost × ( 2 - Modded Ability Efficiency ÷ 100 ) ÷ ( Modded Ability Duration ÷ 100)
- Oberon cannot replenish energy using Team Energy Restores,
Energy Siphon, the Rift Plane,
Trinity's
Energy Vampire, or Zenurik's Void Dash and Energy Pulse while Renewal is active; however, Energy orbs, Orokin Void Death Orb energy restores,
Arcane Energize,
Rage,
Hunter Adrenaline, and/or Syndicate Radial Effects can still replenish energy even while the ability is active.
- The number of allied targets currently being healed by Renewal is shown on the ability icon. If no allies targets are being healed at the time, the ability icon will only animate to indicate that Renewal is activated.
- Multiple instances of Renewal's healing per second, and of Iron Renewal armor buff, do stack with each other.
- Renewal's initial casting area will not expire unless Renewal is deactivated, allowing allies to receive the buff when they choose.
- If Renewal is removed from Oberon or an Ally, (such as by falling/jumping out of bounds, or from the effects of a Nullifier or Nul Scrambus) they will not be able to regain the buff until Oberon re-casts Renewal. They can still gain the buff from another allied Oberon, though, as long as that Oberon's buff has not also been removed.
- Main article: Phoenix Renewal
Phoenix Renewal is a Warframe Augment Mod for Oberon's
Renewal. If a player takes fatal damage while under the effects of Renewal, instead of becoming incapacitated, the player is healed for a percentage of their health and granted 5 seconds of invulnerability. Each player that triggers Phoenix Renewal's effects must individually undergo a 90-second cooldown before they can benefit again.

- Use Reckoning when surrounded by a large group of enemies to maximize its offensive effects and health orb generation.
- Similar to Smite, Reckoning's
Impact /
Radiation damage type is particularly effective vs Corpus Shields and Grineer Alloy Armor, while being less effective against most types of Infested units.
- Reckoning's widespread
Radiation proc can be used to tactically nullify the threat of a large area of enemies, relieving allies outside of the area (temporarily) from needing to deal with them.
- Try
Smite for smaller-scale misdirection.
- Try
- Enemies blinded by Reckoning's outer flashes are vulnerable to melee finishers.
- With the health-to-energy conversion of an equipped
Equilibrium mod, dropped health orbs from Reckoning may meet or exceed the ability's energy cost.
- Pair with the
Health Conversion mod to gain additional armor from Reckoning's health orbs.
- Against higher level enemies, Ability Strength benefits health orb generation by increasing Reckoning's potential to kill.
- Using
Smite and
Hallowed Ground to confuse enemies before using Reckoning, successfully increasing damage output.
- Reckoning already has a 100% chance to confuse targets, increasing its own damage with further casts.
- Occasionally, if Oberon is knocked down just as Reckoning is cast, enemies will be attacked as normal without Oberon doing the skill animation. Only upon standing up from being previously knocked down does Oberon then perform the animation.
- Casting
Smite then immediately casting Reckoning removes the casting animation of Reckoning, allowing for player movement while casting Reckoning.
- Rarely, spamming the ability on a group of enemies will make some enemies hover permanently in the air, much to the effect of
Bastille. This may be caused by an enemy that is being lifted is struck again by the ability but not brought down.

- Why: The conversation surrounding Arcane Guardian led to a significant review of Armor stats on Warfarmes. The Majority of Warframes received an increase in the Armor stat to increase survivability.

- Range Mods now apply 75% to Range (distance from Oberon) and 75% to Arc Angle of Hallowed Ground (before was 25% to Range and 75% to Arc before).
- Renewal
- Oberon’s Renewal now heals friendly summoned units (IE Nekros’ Shadows of the Dead) at 1/3 the rate but consumes 1/3 the Energy drain for doing so. The change to have Renewal not affect friendly summons was met with varying opinions, and is now further tweaked to meet a happy middle ground.
- Oberon’s Renewal Armor buff will be applied to allies anytime they step on Hallowed Ground while Renewal is active on them as opposed to them having to be on Hallowed Ground when Renewal hits them.

- Smite:
- Increased Smite's projectile damage from 20% of the target's max Health + Shield to 35%.
- Added base damage to Smite and its projectiles. With the damage of Smite scaled into its projectiles, this will give Smite more punch when facing lower level enemies.
- Renewal:
- Oberon’s ability to keep himself and his teammates alive is a large part of his overall role. Feedback brought forth further tweaks with the intention to solidify this role.
- Removed Heal Time from Renewal. Renewal now functions more conventionally as a toggle which drains 2 Energy per second while active + 3 Energy per second per target actively being healed. *Please note that Trinity's Energy *Vampire will not give Oberon Energy while Renewal is active.

- Fixed Hallowed Ground being impossible to see with low particle quality setting. *Please note we are still working on Hallowed Ground FX improvements overall.
- Fixed a script error with Hallowed Eruption Augment upon deactivating while another Oberon has Hallowed Ground active, resulting in the FX to remain forever.
- Fixed Hallowed Ground & Hallowed Eruption Augment not hurting ragdolled enemies.
Update 20.3 (2017-04-26)
- Conclave: Tweaked Oberon’s abilities to reflect his changes in Conclave.
