My condolences, oingo boingo is legitimately useless, no build can make him good

So basically there is nothing redeemable about oingo boingo? Nothing at all? Not even one shred of usefulness?
His epics, his amount of epics, his price, his promotion, it's all just one big disappoint?

Pretty much. The only reason I have him is because A) I want all companions! and B) he's a part of my Water Mole Squad

Sigh, don't listen to them Mr. Idea. I didn't want to intervene but these comments have given me no choice. I have Oingo Boingo on my Buccaneer and he's far from useless. No one, or very few people, even have Oingo Boingo in the entire game so therefore very few comments are accurate. Oingo Boingo's main job is being a front-line tank and zone control, since he starts with cheap shot by default. Your best bet is to put Oingo Boingo in between the enemies, especially low health ones. When the enemy disengages, they do so for good reason, most likely to retreat. Oingo Boingo's Cheap Shot can land a good attack before they disengage while also protecting more fragile companions in the back like Bonnie Anne or Zeena. If I were you, I'd invest his epics in Bladestorm and Flanking. Bladestorm can give you another attack with every critical or kill Oingo Boingo does and Flanking gives you that extra bonus attack when executed correctly. I hope I was of some help and good luck out there in the skyways.

Buddy, you can't possibly be defending the idea of spending 7500 crowns ($15 irl) on a companion that lacks a guaranteed hit, a heal, relentless, htl3, or first strike 3. Want a cheap shot companion? Ratbeard can get cheap shot 3, and has 2 more epics, 3 guaranteed hits, and a triton's song. He also has access to up to first strike 3, htl 3, blade 2/3, and repel boarders 3. Flanking is the only "advantage" you get from him, and spending 7500 crowns to get a worse in almost every way version of Ratbeard is not a cost efficient idea

I just wish he had some special moves or powers like goronado. I just hope he gets a buff soon. If they can buff bosun budd, they can buff oingo boingo.
