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.
Oberon used to share his name with a mission node on Uranus, which in astronomy corresponded to one of Uranus' moons — Titania follows this same trend.
Developer Digital Extremes has described Oberon's ability design as based around the idea of a Paladin or Druid.
Oberon was first constructed under the name Paladin. (internally, Lotus/StoreItems/Powersuits/Paladin)
In its first conception, Oberon's Hallowed Ground ability was called "Stairway to Heaven".
Oberon's visual design is likely modeled after the white stag, a rare, pale-pelted deer that plays a mythological role in many cultures.
In Arthurian legend, the white stag was said to be nearly impossible to capture and seeing a white stag was an omen that it was time for the knights of the kingdom to pursue a quest.
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 Component Blueprint, as dropped by an Eximus enemy.
Previously, Oberon's blueprints were obtained in the Everest, Earth assassination mission by the old model of Councillor Vay Hek. (This changed in Update 13.0 by which the blueprints are now dropped by Eximus units in any mission they appear.)
This marked Oberon as the second Warframe to have replaced a previous Warframe from a boss mission, preceded by Valkyr having replaced Volt.
Compared to the construction materials of other Warframes, which are often similar, Oberon's assembly is the only one requiring two Orokin Cells and two Gallium.
Oberon has returned from the Prime Vault until ?. Please click here for more information about the current Prime Vault offers on the official WARFRAME website.
Protect the balance with this regal forest guardian. Featuring altered mod polarities for greater customization.
Greed and denial will seduce any destruction... even our own.
We're blind to future consequence, casting our debts on those to come.
But what if now, the Gray Mother sought revenge?
A brutal thorn... piercing the gushing ulcers of waste and industry.
A new green... sown upon sanguine ground.
Fertilized... with the blood and bone of its defilers.
Oberon Prime is the Primed variant of Oberon, possessing higher armor and energy capacity, as well as two additional polarities. Oberon Prime was released alongside Silva & Aegis Prime and Sybaris Prime.
As a Prime Warframe, Oberon Prime possesses a special passive ability where contact with an Orokin VoidDeath Orb will make them release an energy pulse that grants 250Energy to all nearby allies. This effect can only occur once per Death Orb, and can occur even if the Death Orb has been previously destroyed.
Oberon Prime's Hallowed Ground sprouts fields of ferns, instead of fields of grass like his non-Primed variant.
Trivia
Oberon Prime's design might be a reference to bulls, and their connection to nature in many religions and cultures.
His design also features several parts resembling crenellated walls, such as the battlements of a castle, likely referencing Oberon's knightly and protective nature.

Warframe Oberon Prime
OBERON PRIME - Ultimate Guide to Vegitarianism Warframe
Misc:15 / 20 / 25 / 35 (% health + shields to damage)
Info
Oberon smites an enemy target with hallowed light up to 20 / 30 / 40 / 50 meters away, dealing 150 / 200 / 300 / 500 damage while knocking-down and applying a Radiation proc.
Additionally, the target emits 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 orb projectiles that seek out enemies within 5 / 7.5 / 10 / 12.5 meters from the main target, over a duration of 12 seconds. Each orb deals 75 / 85 / 100 / 150Radiation damage, plus 15 / 20 / 25 / 35 % of the main target's maximum health and shields divided among the number of orbs; staggers and weakens its enemy target, and has a low chance to cause a Radiation proc.
Number of orbs and their base damage are affected by Ability Strength, while the health and shields to damage conversion is not.
Weaken reduces the target's damage output by 30% for 6 seconds.
If there are more orbs than enemies in homing range, the remainder will fire in random directions bouncing off of any environmental surface they touch, locking on to the first enemy which crosses into their homing range.
Multiple orbs from a single cast can hit the same enemy if they travel close enough to the target after bouncing.
Smite is a one-handed ability and as such will not interrupt full actions such as reloading, shooting, or charging weapons.
Smite Infusion is a Warframe Augment Mod for Oberon that allows Smite to be held on cast, creating a wave of energy traveling outward from the user that temporarily grants the caster and nearby allies additional Radiation damage to all attacks.
Try using Smite's guaranteed Confusion proc to misdirect enemies by turning a high-threat target and nearby foes against each other.
Moreover, the additional Weaken effect forces enemies to expend more time fighting against their confused comrade.
Bugs
When affected by the critical chance buff from a Smeeta Kavat's Charm, the orbs will deal orange critical hits, though will only do 0-1 additional damage depending on target. (E.g: level 125 Chargers receive 0 additional damage from the critical hits, but level 125 Bombards receive 1 more damage, tested at 154% Ability Strength.)
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 / 100Radiation damage with a 5 / 10 / 12 / 15%Radiationstatus 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.
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) = 20.063 meters.
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.
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 Disruptorsare 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.
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.
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).
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 applied to the enemy's base armor when accounting multiple casts.
Can only have 4 instances of Hallowed Ground active at once per player.
If cast in midair, Oberon will instantly drop to the ground to perform this ability.
Hallowed Ground spawns foliage inside its area of effect as visual representation. Oberon creates a field of grass, while Oberon Prime creates a field of ferns. Grass and ferns are affected by Oberon's chosen Warframe Accent color.
The shimmering energy field encompassing the ground is affected by Oberon's chosen Warframe energy color.
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 MagneticSensor Bars and Corpus Laser Barriers.
Note however that activating these traps in spy missions will still trigger vault alarms.
Renewal Healing waves of energy flow outward from Oberon to his allies, regenerating health over time. Energy Drain: 2 s−1 Energy Drain per Target: 3 s−1
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.
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.
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.
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).
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 ).
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.
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.
Reckoning Quickly lifts enemies into the air and then hurls them down with conviction. Enemies who succumb to this power have a chance to spawn a Health Sphere.
Oberon lifts enemies within 8 / 10 / 12 / 15 meters up into the air and violently slams them to the ground, dealing 500 / 750 / 1000 / 1250 damage and applying knockdown and a Radiation proc. Additionally, Reckoning deals 100 / 225 / 400 / 625 extra damage to enemies affected by Radiation status effects. An enemy that dies by the effect of this ability has a 25% / 35% / 45% / 50% chance of spawning a Health Orb.
Affected enemies that survive the impact will emit an intense flash of light, blinding surrounding enemies within 2.5 / 3 / 3.5 / 4 meters that were unaffected by the initial cast, for 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 seconds.
Hallowed Reckoning is a Warframe Augment Mod for Oberon that makes enemies damaged by Reckoning create energy patches at their feet. These patches deal damage over time to enemies standing in them and provide armor to allies, similar to Hallowed Ground.
Defiled Reckoning is a Conclave-exclusive Warframe Augment Mod for Oberon's Reckoning that makes Health Orbs created by kills from Reckoning temporarily invisible to, and unusable by, enemies.
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 Confusion effect 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.
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.
Bugs
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.
Additional passive ability that adds 100% to Hallowed Ground duration
Always applies radiation status on detonation
Fixed missing sound effect when Hallowed Eruption is detonated
Smite Infusion - Smite Augment - Oberon
Holding the casting button will send out a wave (much like similar, expanding Warframe Abilities) giving the elemental buff to every player it touches, including the caster
Oberon’s Immortal skin has received the PBR treatment! This fixes issues with the Immortal Skin texture introduced this week as well as Oberon Prime’s shoulders appearing very plain without his Prime Armor attachments.
Tweaked Hallowed Ground FX to reduce performance issues.
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.
Renewal no longer affects Nidus’ Maggots as to not prevent them from exploding (their intended behavior).
Reckoning
Oberon’s Reckoning Armor debuff is now based on the target's base Armor instead of current Armor (meaning no more diminishing returns).
Conclave: Decreased Oberon’s Renewal stats to balance the removal of Heal Time in Conclave.
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.
Added the "is active" ability icon animation to Renewal.
Fixed Renewal bleedout buff being removed when entering bleedout.
*We are aware of a UI bug where the Arsenal stats for Renewal show that Energy per target is not affected by Efficiency/Duration Mods. A fix will come at a later date- we wanted to get this out ASAP!
Hallowed Ground:
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.
Conclave: Tweaked Oberon’s abilities to reflect his changes in Conclave.
Oberon Revisited
Passive: Allied pets receive Health, Armor and Shield buff. In addition your pet receives 1 instant revive per mission.
Smite
Damage from projectiles emitted from the enemy scales based on enemy level. Projectile damage spreads across all projectiles and is affected by Mods.
Hallowed Ground
Hallowed Ground is now more of an 'arc' shape (Range Mods create a wider/longer arc).
Added a Status Chance that is affected by Strength Mods.
Adjusted damage and ranges.
Renewal
Increased casting animation speed.
Changed to an expanding wave of healing instead of a projectile.
Energy drain starts once wave hits allies, not leading up to it.
Whenever Oberon casts Renewal on an ally standing on Hallowed Ground, it activates Iron Renewal, granting an Armor boost for the entire heal process, once healing is complete the Armor Boost is on a timer.
Renewal doesn’t stop healing when the target ally is at full Health. It will continue to heal as long as it is active.
Reckoning
Enemies with a Radiation Status Chance will now take bonus damage from Reckoning.
Enemies standing on Hallowed Ground will receive Armor debuffs (affected by Strength).
Augment: Renewal - Phoenix Renewal: Taking fatal damage while under the effects of Renewal will instead heal you or allies to 50% health. This effect triggers only once for each ally every 90s.
Increased the speed of Renewal projectiles over-time to almost double.
Before it moved at a speed of 15 m/s. It now has a top speed of 30 m/s and an acceleration of 5m/s/s.
Augment: Reckoning - Hallowed Reckoning: Enemies killed by Reckoning create small areas of Hallowed Ground for 10 seconds. Enemies standing in the Hallowed Ground take 150 damage per second, while allies gain 250 armor.
Augment: Hallowed Ground - Hallowed Eruption: Casting a second blessed ground will consume the first one dealing all the damage remaining in a burst. 30%/40%/50%/60% proc chance on burst.
Renewal now has a timer that displayed the current number of targets being healed.
Hallowed Ground now has an ability timer.
Hallowed Ground ability placement has been shifted backward slightly so as to allow for the casting Oberon to receive the full buff and removal/immunity effects.
Renewal now directly affects Sentinels & Kubrows.
Fixed an issue with Renewal not being properly castable with exactly 25 energy left.
Fixed an issue with the visual effect from Renewal not disappearing correctly when a client casts the ability with exactly 25 energy left.
Projectiles that are spawned after impact seek-to-target, not just spawned in direction.
Speed up projectiles by 50%.
Forced Radiation proc on the initial target.
Forced Knock-down on initial target instead of stumble.
Forced Puncture proc on all enemies hit.
Hallowed Ground changes
Allies within Hallowed Ground can not be proc’ed.
Hallowed Ground will remove all existing procs from Allies
Armor boosted by 5/10/15/20% per rank for all Allies on Hallowed Ground, with stacking being explored on multiple casts.
Renewal changes
Switch to toggle ability with smaller base cost and energy per second active drain. All Renewal benefits occur when projectile reaches target ally.
Boost Heal amount 200/250/300/400 per rank.
When target is fully healed, remove any active proc effects.
Allies affected by Renewal have slowed bleedout by 20/25/35/45% per rank. This is affected by duration mods.
Reckoning changes
Forced Radiation Proc added to damage on targets.
Small radial blind added to slam impact, but only for enemies that survive the damage of the cast. This radial blind will be applied to enemies that move into range after it’s been cast and are blinded by the impact of those being slammed by Reckoning!
