Oberon — First Paladin
Star Chart build. Hallowed Ground is a full circle now. Renewal heals. Reckoning slams. Smite deletes the Eximus. Primed Continuity and Primed Flow are the first real upgrade — not Blind Rage.

Wrong drop or mechanic?
Why this build?
Star Chart for Junctions through the Outer Terminus. Steel Path is the next card, not this one.
Health: Inventory unknown — Mark what you own. Until then this is a recommendation, not a test you failed.
- The 2025 rework made Hallowed Ground a circle. Muscle memory that 'aims the cone' is wasting time.
- Renewal doubled on grass is the heal. Stand in it.
- Smite is a single-target execute now. Use it on the loud one.
Don’t use this for: Steel Path endurance · level-cap content · solo level-cap
Accessible mods and a working energy / survivability loop
Bring: Any gun — Radiation status from the grass plus your rifle. A status primer is extra.

Grass loop
Pocket card. Stick this on a second screen; the long version is the mission below.
- 1Hallowed Ground (2) under your feet. Full circle, guaranteed Radiation, status immunity for you and allies on the grass.
- 2Renewal (3). Armor for the squad, heal over time, doubled while standing on the grass.
- 3Smite (1) the Eximus. Overguard and armor gone, health chunked, opened to a finisher.
- 4Reckoning (4) when three or more enemies stand on the grass. Armor strip, slam, health orbs.
First mission — press these buttons
- 1
Plant grass at your feet

You will know it worked when: A glowing ring, not a wedge.

Renewal
33. Health ticks. Faster on the grass.

Smite the Eximus
1Overguard pops. Finisher prompt. Stab.
