Oberon — Iron Lawn
Endgame build. Hallowed Reckoning drops armor patches. Renewal adds armor. Reckoning's own bonus caps at 1,000. You are a walking fort.

Don’t build this yet
First Paladin first
This loadout sits at Endgame. It wants Forma, Helminth, or shards you may not have. Play the Starter until those systems are open — then this page is the upgrade, not the homework.
Open First PaladinWhy this build?
Endgame for Endurance, Defense, squads that want a floor they can stand on
Health: Not yet — Helminth, Steel Path, or Archon Hunts still closed. Play the Starter.
- Hallowed Reckoning is the floor-tank augment. The +40% range is not a footnote.
- Status immunity on grass plus Adaptation is why Radiation frames live in 2026.
- You are slower than a Reckoning nuke config. You are also still standing at minute 40.
Don’t use this for: Capture / short missions · Exterminate speedruns · solo level-cap
Specialised investment for hard content
You don’t need the shards to run the loop. They are a later ceiling, not a gate.
Bring: Stay on the grass — A primer. You are not the DPS. You are the floor.
Alternative if…
- Star Chart only → First Paladin
- New account or low investment → First Paladin
- This is too much Forma / cost → Full Strip Slam — Optimised

- Forma 0/4 · required — 4 on the card. Codex does not track installed Forma.
- Helminth · optional — Not required

Investment: 4 Forma · Reactor · 2 shards · 4 specialised mods. Typical farm ~4–6 hours. Trade if a route is vaulted.
Codex Checked · Compared against current game data for this update. · Update 43.5 · 5 Sept 2026 · PC · Current
Medium confidence. A solid recommendation with more situational dependencies. Confidence is not verification. Verification is separate: Codex Checked against Update 43.5.
