Protea Prime · The kit
Drones, barrels, pads, rewind
Protea is a gadgeteer. Hold 1 for shield drones. 2 is the Heat turret that ramps. 3 is infinite energy, health, and ammo. 4 is an undo button that also explodes. Count every fourth cast — her passive is free Strength.
Health
270 → 370
Shields
455 → 555
Armor

Energy

Any Mission, Any Time
Every fourth ability cast gets a large Ability Strength bonus. Count in fours. Artillery as the boosted cast is free damage. Dispensary as the boosted cast is extra pickups. The counter is visible on her UI — use it.
Grenade Fan
25Tap throws a slash/stagger swirl (Shrapnel Vortex). Hold deploys Shield Satellites that attach to Protea, allies, and companions, overcharging shields. When shields break, a Satellite is destroyed to double the minimum shield-gate invulnerability. Hold is the 2026 button. Tap is crowd control and Temporal Erosion ticks.

Blaze Artillery
50Deploys a short-lived artillery unit. Each successful hit increases subsequent plasma shots. Duration is shot count. Strength is damage. Look at the lane before you press 2 — it faces your aim. Temporal Artillery parks one on Protea when Anchor is activated and pauses its timer, with a 20x ramp cap. Archon Vitality doubles the Heat status.
- Cost

- Per hit, per turret
- Aim
- Faces your reticle
Dispensary
75After a short delay, cycles three pickups: an empowered health orb, a universal ammo pack, and an energy orb. Duration adds more cycles. Strength adds extra-pickup chance. Repair Dispensary heals companions. This is also Protea's Helminth gift to other frames — on her, keep it unless Sculptor or Energize made energy a non-issue.

Temporal Anchor
100Marks a point in time. While active, a portion of damage you deal is stored. When the timer ends (or you recast), Protea rewinds: position, energy, ammo, and a radial implosion based on stored damage. Dying during Anchor rewinds her instead (knocked down, Anchor gone). Temporal Erosion strips armor with Grenade Fan and Artillery hits while Anchor is up. Everything spent inside the window is refunded — dump resources on purpose.
- Cost
- 100 energy (refunded)
- Death
- Rewind instead
- Erosion
- Strip on 1/2 hits
