Protea is a Warframe that utilizes a lot of gadgets and advanced technology to fight off enemies and provide support to her allies in missions.
Focusing mainly on the use of her gadgets while she fights, she can manipulate the outcome of a fight, help her allies replenish their needs, and even deploy turrets to suppress enemies.
With a buff for every time she casts for the 4th time, players can choose which ability is empowered to make use of her passive for better effects.
Protea Builds
1) Balanced Build (Equal Stats Build)
As Protea’s gadgets are affected in many ways, we have built for balance for an equal distribution amongst her stats.
Protea’s abilities will have a decent amount of time when they are cast, and her Ability Strength and Ability Range have been boosted for better effects.
This builds a great foundation for testing out her abilities and will work well on most missions, later on being a base build for you to upgrade from.
2) Nuke Build (High Ability Strength Build)
While this build does not offer the highest amount of Ability Strength, it offers quite a large amount, which bolsters the damage of Protea’s abilities.
This build mainly focuses on the use of Grenade Fan as well as Temporal Anchor, but can also be good for Blaze Artillery, especially when altered to swap intensify with Flow or Primed Flow.
Grenade Fan will provide more shields when its secondary function is used, making it good for team survivability, while using its main function can deal a good amount of damage.
Temporal Anchor can cause a large amount of damage in a moderate radius, allowing you to use this along with Protea’s other abilities to nuke enemies, destroying large groups.
3) Blaze Artillery Build (High Duration Build)
Blaze Artillery Build or the Turret Build focuses on keeping Protea’s Artillery Units up for an extended period, maximizing how many can exist at the same time.
While this build lacks an energy pool, using the Zenurik ability to regenerate energy may be recommended unless you swap out one of the mods with Flow or Primed Flow.
Since Protea’s turrets deal more damage over time (consecutive hits increase damage), the long duration this build provides will keep them firing for a longer time.
Other abilities, such as Grenade Fan and Temporal Anchor, will have longer durations as well, making them last longer as you use them with other abilities.
4) Area of Effect Build (High Range Build)
The AOE Build or High Range Build contains mods that increase Ability Range to up to 235%, but some of these mods may be replaced with other mods if you prefer to increase other stats.
Protea’s abilities gain more range, which provides her abilities that deal damage to cover a larger area, as well as increases the range of her turrets.
Primed Flow has been added to provide a larger energy pool, but this can be removed for another mod, especially if you equip the Zenurik operator school and/or use Energy Siphon.
This build focused on covering more ground, having larger areas affected to defeat enemies from a distance, and to protect areas with Protea’s abilities.

Verdict
Protea is great for taking on groups of enemies, especially when things get a bit too tough for her and her allies to handle.
Thanks to the ways that she can support her team, Protea can be an essential part when it comes to fighting tougher enemies or bosses.
Thanks to Temporal Anchor, you can often avoid dying during times when damage becomes avoidable, and with the right builds, all of her abilities may be properly utilized.
