Abilities
(Oberon’s Abilities)
Oberon has the ability to send out energy to damage multiple enemies, conjure righteous fire to damage and confuse his foes, heal himself and his allies and lift enemies then slam them into the ground.
His passive ability boosts the health, shield and armor of pet companions as well as gives his own an instant revive once every mission.
1) Smite
Oberon sends a projectile that damages an enemy and applies a radiation proc which splits into a certain amount of orbs that damage other enemies based on the health and shields of the main target.
This ability is great for offense and can clear enemies quickly due to the multiple projectiles that spread after the first impact which make this a great ability for dealing damage and applying a radiation proc to an enemy.
The range of the ability gives you an advantage letting you position and time the ability right to strike several enemies and even choose the right target to maximize the health and shields based damage.
(Oberon casting Smite)
Augment Mod: Smite Infusion allows Smite to be cast on allies which gives them an additional 100% radiation damage for 40 seconds.
2) Hallowed Ground
Oberon causes the ground in to burn with righteous fire, dealing damage to enemies with a chance to proc the radiation status effect.
This ability is great for both dealing damage to multiple enemies as well as dealing crowd control and better yet due to the radiation proc, enemies will eventually end up fighting each other.
When Renewal is cast, allies will gain a buff that increases armor as long as they are in the area of effect of the ability (buff remains for a period of time if Renewal is deactivated).
(Enemies fighting each other after being affected by Hallowed Ground)
Augment Mod: Hallowed Eruption allows you Hallowed Eruption again to deal the rest of the damage fully along with a 100% status chance for radiation.
3) Renewal
Upon activation, Oberon will consume his energy to restore life of himself and his allies at the cost of energy every time someone is healed.
With this ability, Oberon can increase the survivability of himself and his team making missions have a better chance of success as well as reducing the chances of allies dying.
Casting this during Hallowed Ground will give a buff to the armor of you and your allies which remains until Renewal is deactivated which will cause the buff to remain for a certain amount of time.
(Oberon casting Renewal)
Augment Mod: Phoenix Renewal causes you or your allies to heal with a cool down of 90 seconds.
4) Reckoning
Oberon uses his energy to lift enemies up into the air then slam them into the ground, dealing radiation damage.
When enemies are killed by using this ability, there will be an increased chance that they will drop a health orb.
Any enemies still alive after Reckoning is cast while standing on Hallowed Ground will have their armor permanently reduced making it easier for them to kill.
Enemies that are affected by the radiation status effect will take extra damage and those who survive will additionally cause nearby enemies to be blinded for a short period of time.
Reckoning is a great ability and can be used in several situations as it does a great deal of crowd control as well as damage which can quickly turn the fight around when facing multiple enemies.
