Warframe Oberon Guide - How to Obtain, Craft, and Best Builds

A warframe with both supportive and offensive abilities, the paladin Oberon is a great asset, capable of demolishing enemy forces as much as he can heal his teammates with his natural skills. You can be the saving grace for your team or the doom for your foes with this wonderfully balanced warframe.

His Prime version also displays better higher armor and energy capacity, as well as an additional polarity. However, right now Oberon Prime is unobtainable until the Vault brings him back, so you may need to roam around the Trade Chat in case you want him.

How to Craft Oberon?

Oberon's main blueprint can be purchased from the Market. Oberon's component blueprints are obtained from Earth Proxima (Systems), Saturn Proxima (Chassis), and Veil Proxima Grineer-controlled territory (Neuroptics) Points of Interest in Empyrean missions.

Oberon Overview and Best Weapon Options

Oberon can use Smite, Hallowed Ground, or Reckoning as his offensive approach abilities, or take advantage of renewal to heal his team when things get hot. You want them to last as much as possible, so the build has to reflect that without compromising the ability strength.

Recommended Weapons
Since Oberon’s abilities are mostly based on Radiation, you want weapons that inflict different status effects, like Ignis, Epitaph, and Ninkondi. Of course, if you can afford the Prime or Vandal versions, the better. Use as many Forma on them as you see fit to achieve the desired build, and you'll be good to go!

Primary Weapon - Ignis

Secondary Weapon - Epitaph

Melee Weapon - Ninkondi

• Hallowed Eruption
• Stretch
• Overextended
• Augur Message
• Blind Rage
• Flow
• Continuity
• Constitution

This setup is built with the idea of making Oberon’s abilities last as much as possible, especially Hallowed Ground, which will receive a twist by using the mod Hallowed Eruption or heal in a bigger area for a longer time, using Renewal. The stats to focus on are Range, Duration, and Strength, with Flow to compensate for the high cost the abilities will have without Efficiency. For dramatically better results, replace the mods in the setup with their Prime or Umbral versions.
