The goat man, the paladin - Oberon!
Release date: 2013-12-19
Passive: Creatures of nature rejuvenate in Oberon’s presence, causing all Companions to receive +25% Health, Shield and Armor links. Oberon’s own Companion also receives 1 instant revive per mission.
Smite - Focuses deadly energy within a target and then projects it outwards, damaging both the target and surrounding enemies.
Hallowed Ground - Sanctifies the ground before Oberon with righteous fire, inflicting damage to any enemy that stands in the flames.
Renewal - Healing waves of energy flow outward from Oberon to his allies, regenerating health over time.
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.
Acquisition: Main blueprint can be purchased from the Market. Component blueprints are obtained from Earth Proxima (Neuroptics & Systems) and Saturn Proxima (Chassis) Points of Interest in Empyrean missions.
I’ve also always wondered why they don’t just put the starter frames in the Tenno Lab. If they’re the three (or four if they were to make Oberon a starter) frames everyone has access to at the start, wouldn’t they be the ones Clans knew the most about? I feel like Wukong makes more sense as a drop for Lech Krill, and The Seargent could take Banshee, and Zephyr could become the Eximus drops. Then they can move Excalibur, Mag, and Oberon into the Tenno Lab alongside Volt.
I know I’m overthinking this, but I think this is how I would have done it. Of course it’s not that simple since all these frames have had various forms of obtainability throughout their lifespan, and they’ve all changed different times, but DE has recently been simplifying a lot of older mechanics to be more consistent (ie: mod stats) so perhaps this is a next step
