Protea is a vigilant protector who makes use of gadgets and tactics to take on the enemies that seek to attack her and her allies.

Using an arsenal of gadgets, Protea can destroy her enemies by blowing them up with grenades or setting up artillery units.

Excellent in both offense and defense, Protea is capable of ensuring that her allies are well supplied and may even turn back time to replenish her own needs or even escape death.

How To Get Protea?

Protea can be purchased fully built for 325 Platinum, or she may be obtained by completing The Deadlock Protocol and having her parts farmed in the Granum Void.

To know more about how to get platinum in Warframe check our guide. We have listed out all the possible ways to earn the platinum for free & other ways.

How To Get Protea Blueprint?

You can obtain Protea’s Blueprint after finishing The Deadlock Protocol quest, which rewards it after its completion.

The Deadlock Protocol involves the discovery of the Corpus Parvos Granum still alive after Protea had given her life to preserve him in an interdimensional realm.

During the quest, Parvos ends up luring the Tenno to be attacked by the Protea Specter, failing to do so and allowing the Tenno to save trapped Solaris captives.

During the quest, you will learn about Granum Voids, and this is important later when it comes to how to farm Protea parts.

Additional Protea Main Blueprints may be purchased for 50,000 Standing from Cephalon Simaris, who you may find at any available Relay.

How To Get Protea Parts?

Protea’s Components can be obtained by entering and completing Granum Voids, but each part has its own difficulty required.

The Protea Neuroptics Blueprint is obtained by doing a Granum Void using a Granum Crown, while the Chassis Blueprint can be rewarded using an Exemplar Granum Crown.

Protea Systems is the hardest to obtain and requires that you use a Zenith Granum Crown when doing a Granum Void.

Each Granum Void difficulty has an 11.11% chance to reward you with one of Protea’s parts.

The Protea farm locations that have Granum Voids are on Corpus Ship Tilesets.

Protea Abilities

Protea excels at dealing devastating damage to enemies, using a combination of powerful grenades and deployable artillery units that can quickly turn the tide of battle.

In addition to her offensive capabilities, she plays a vital support role by protecting her allies and providing them with the means to restore health and energy during extended fights.

When the situation becomes dire, Protea can manipulate time itself, returning to a previous state after activating her Temporal Anchor.

Passive Ability

Every 4th ability that Protea casts will gain 100% increased Ability Strength, which stacks along with the stats that the ability currently has.

1) Grenade Fan

When the Grenade Fan ability is cast, Protea will throw out grenades in an arc in front of her, which will create a slashing vortex that staggers enemies.

An alternate cast with this ability by holding it down will release Shield Satellites instead, which protect Protea and her allies with overshields. (Satellites are destroyed when shields break.)

This ability allows Protea to act offensively or defensively to damage enemies and pull them together or to restore ally shields to help them survive.

Grenade Fan (Max Rank)

2) Blaze Artillery

Protea deploys an artillery unit that fires plasma charges at enemies within its line of sight, dealing high amounts of heat damage.

The damage from the artillery unit increases for each enemy that is hit, making multiple shots deal more damage than the previous ones.

Blaze Artillery is great for holding off a spot or defending targets from enemies, and to make things better, Protea can summon multiple units.

Each Artillery Unit deployed will have its duration, which can be increased by adding Ability Duration to your builds.

Blaze Artillery (Max Rank)

Augment Mods: Temporal Artillery causes one of Protea’s summoned Artillery Units to attach to her during Temporal Anchor, which halts its duration countdown while having a 20x Max Combo Count. Obtained from Arbiters of Hexis/The Perrin Sequence.

3) Dispensary

Protea deploys a device that will release 3 pickups after a short delay, which can be either empowered health orbs, universal ammunition, or energy orbs.

The pickups are chosen at random, and there is a chance for an extra pickup to be released, which is based on Ability Strength.

A small cost of energy is needed to release this gadget, and the exchange for multiple pickups will come in handy for you and your allies.

Dispensary (Max Rank)

Augment Mods: Repair Dispensary causes the Dispensary to produce Pick Ups that heal companions for 15% of their maximum health, which also reduces their incapacitation timer by 9 seconds. Obtained from Arbiters of Hexis/The Perrin Sequence.

4) Temporal Anchor

Upon casting this ability, Protea drops a Temporal Anchor, which allows her to rewind and trigger a temporal implosion.

The Implosion damages enemies in an area based on how much damage has been done between the time the Temporal Anchor was dropped until the implosion.

Anything lost or used during the effects of Temporal Anchor will cause them to be replenished after the implosion, and dying after dropping one will rewind and save Protea.

Temporal Implosion is great for dealing massive amounts of damage with no costs to Protea, and it may come to save Protea from death in certain situations.

Temporal Anchor (Max Rank)

Augment Mods: Temporal Erosion causes each strike from Grenade Fan and Blaze Artillery to reduce enemy armor by 10% for each time they are damaged. Obtained from Arbiters of Hexis/The Perrin Sequence.

Verdict

Protea is highly effective in a wide range of missions, offering both offensive and defensive capabilities through her diverse arsenal of powerful and adaptable gadgets.

With the right mods equipped, she can set up multiple Artillery Units for continuous damage and use Grenade Fan to either deal heavy damage or grant strong defensive shielding.

Her Temporal Anchor provides a safety net by rewinding her position while also delivering a devastating implosion that amplifies her overall damage output.
