And midgame heroes in Paladins with Dark Sun get so scary so fast. So much of their early fights are pushing into melee range it's not surprising a RANGED attack that can hit behind cover and heals the user helps them close the gap a lot more reliably. The lifesteal nuke mod from Psynumbra is quite good on all their early stuff.

The Heritor sarcophagus is busted with an Oathbound hero in it. You have guaranteed regeneration with the hero perk and can stick retaliate on them for days.

Their heroes are amazeballs in vehicles, so any tech which has strong mechanized stuff is golden. Haven't tried Xenoplague or Promethean, I imagine Purifiers are great for being your early ranged troops, you get some new damage types out of both and the xenoplague look to be a way to double down on melee. giving things free turns as well is always powerful. Heritor you've tried, no surprise the only Entropy technology tree tech goes so well with the Entropy tech tree faction. Psynumbra has some interesting synergy with Seers and the racial units, Guaranteed crits on Malictors who get the universal damage buff from the Oathbound seer doctrine are fun, Guaranteeing people get hit and fail their status effect checks is useful when throwing around psionics. Phase Drive is great for them too, An Oathbound Voidtech Leader can eventually attack more or less anything turn 1. Its also a great support unit to pair with Paladin Champions for flying Doomstacks (Pull the Champion forward in the first turn to get even better options to hit with the Paladins teleport attack or back afterwards to get them healed and out of range). Voidtech gives you the Phase Manipulator which is great for the same reason the Synthesis Hacker is ranged arc weaponry. Mass reliance on Mechanical stuff works with Synthesis buffs. Synthesis synergise well with the Hacker and Avatar and the ever-useful arc tree, Hackers also provide a 7 range basic troop to support your range-crippled paladins.
