BabyBomi Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 He literally drops EVERYWHERE. I think I have 10239103921 copies of his set now. He is really that bad or is there a reason on why he drops everywhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 leocww Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Parts dropping from eximus enemies is the main reason people think he's bad. Otherwise he is a good frame to use IMO. My nuke-Oberon always outdamages WoF Ember P in exterminate missions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 PickleMonster21 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Oberon is actually a really good Frame. They just made a poor decision to make him drop from Exiums enemies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 (PSN)robotwars7 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 No, Oberon is not a bad frame, contrary to what some might say. he's a very good balance of Support and CC, he can be built many different ways, and if Trinity isn't around, he's a great healer. he is underused however, and he needs a rework to make him a little more specialized (as it stands, he's a Jack of All Trades, master of none). I love using Oberon, also one of the best looking frames IMO. plus you can sacrifice his spare parts to RNGsus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Rorgal_Sina Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 He's a nice frame, and since he's easy to get, I'd say newer players can aim for him. He has damage, some CC, and a heal. He has a little bit of everything and is good for most missions, but players don't like a jack-of-all-trades in their team. So by all means, try him. He can manage himself quite well, it's just that most players feel that specialized frames are more efficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 MichelPostma Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Oberon is pretty good and once you have him you can get a 2000 creds bonus for each part that drops :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ambiroa Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Not bad perse, I just think he is a really boring pregnant male deer frame. The only frame I didn't keep, sold it the moment I got it lvl30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say the lack of damage and being outclassed in a lot of ways is why people think he's bad. He's not really bad, but he's not great. Kinda in-between, really.

He's not really bad, but he's not great. Kinda in-between, really. Agreed. My maxed-strength Oberon can deal fair damage on low-to-mid enemies, while only radiation damage proc at high-level enemies. But he's one fun warframe to use, with many modding possiblities. Edited January 6, 2016 by SpryCrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's one fun warframe to use, with many modding possiblities. Oh yes, there's no denying he's fun. His abilities are satisfying, with the exception of Renewal, and his radiation spread is fantastic. Just a shame he's not really great. Good can only cut it for so long.

0 chaotea Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Exiumus is generally a mid game enemy, which makes Oberon accessible to mid level players. Late game players find alot just because exiumus are more common. You get given an excaliber, mag or volt at the start. These arn't bad frames.

0 (PSN)CoolD2108 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 The only problem i have is the energy cost for EVERY ability. Less the generall energy cost and more the NEED to use energy... his ult is a rather nice CC but kinda needs to be spamed as its set on a low duration, especially playing the augument. Rejuvination is expensive af for what it does and hallowed ground is set pretty low duration wise as well. I rly liked to play him before DE nerfed energy orbs a couple months ago but i just can't substain him anymore recently... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Imaru Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 He's really good in my books. Granted I haven't played him much recently as I've been on a Borderlands binge and he isn't well suited for sorties (his stats make him a bit too fragile) but he's a really solid frame if you ask me.

0 Knightmare047 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) Oberon is more of a middle ground among the frames for me. He's not exceptionally strong like some other frames, but not really as bad and a very solid frame. His Smite is a mild small area CC with a Radiation proc with orbs that stuns enemies, Hollowed Ground is an anti-proc field, Renewal is a straight up healing ability, and Reckoning is CC which also stops enemies from attacking as they are lifted. Though I wouldn't mind him getting a buff to some abilities. His Hollowed Ground and Reckoning really could use it.

0 Prime Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 yesterday I played the sorties with Oberon (made them feel more like endgame) and he was able to sustain himself against lvl 90-110s.. you really just need to know how to utilize his skillset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ThorienKELL Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 He's not bad, just mediokrish, but in proper hands can be entirely decent like most of frames. For some reason he has bad rep. I am thinking of pimping one with nice armor /cosmetics, mean guns and play it in void /sorties just to surprise ppl "what? oberon did most kills?"

0 Epsik-kun Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 He is bad. Saying otherwise is just an attempt to sweeten the pill. He is pretty decent second frame, as he is most likely to be your first access to healing. He is also not bad for soloing the game at the beginning. However, the only somewhat effective role he can fit in is to be a buffer for Draco, if Frost doesn't have Freeze Force. Aside from that, he has no role that can't be filled with another frame that will be better at doing the job. That's why he is bad. He needs his rework desperately. He needs something he can excel at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 BabyBomi Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 If each part sold for at least 10k I wouldn't mind. He would excel at giving credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Krymanol Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) Oberon is not a bad frame, it's just that almost every other frame is far better than him at anything he can bring to the table. That kind of thing usually puts you at the bottom of the best frames lists even though he's really not truly bottom tier, but someone has to be at the top and bottom and the one who doesn't outshine anyone else in what they do will always fill out those bottom spots. Oh and maybe it's just me, but I have a hard time finding Oberon players around. I literally can't remember seeing any in the past 2 months and I play every day for 4+ hours at least....just not seeing oberon players around anywhere....almost the same as the lack of zephyr players.

0 Enno69 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 When I leveled him up for mastery he was the weakest and most boring frame I had ever tried out. The blue ball of crap, the tiny field on the ground that does nothing, the healing that is too slow to be really useful in battle, and the average CC that targets whatever it wants and loses one of its effect when it stops dealing damage... But that's just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
