Understand Defiled Reckoning
Useful when…
- Deny enemies access to Health Orbs created around affected targets in Conclave.
What does it do?
This Oberon augment applies an effect through Reckoning: affected enemies cannot use Health Orbs for a duration. The effect lasts 2.5 seconds at rank 0, 7.5 seconds at rank 2, and 10 seconds at rank 3.
When is it useful?
The benefit is specifically denial of enemy use of Health Orbs. It is a Conclave variant, so its listed purpose is PvP utility; the supplied effect does not describe healing allies or damaging enemies.
Rank and alternatives
It is a standard-slot, Zenurik-polarity mod for Oberon, with maximum rank 3 and base drain 6. Rank it if extending the denial window matters to your setup; its listed fusion costs rise from 30 Endo and 1,449 Credits for the first step to 120 Endo and 5,796 Credits for the final step. Hallowed Reckoning instead adds range and effects around enemies, Phoenix Renewal responds to fatal damage while Renewal is active, and Hallowed Eruption modifies Hallowed Ground; those are different effects, not direct replacements for orb denial. The listed acquisition is Conclave, Tempest.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Uses a standard mod slot for a Conclave-specific denial effect.
- Higher ranks extend the effect duration, but require more fusion resources.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Expecting the augment to increase Reckoning damage or range; those effects are not listed for this variant.
