PROTEA PRIME

Behold the child of two fathers. Protea Prime once fulfilled Parvos Granum's vision of a time-wielding guardian. Now she upholds the Tenno ideal of defending the defenseless.

Protea is a full caster who barely touches her weapons: she spams Grenade Fan for shields and knockdown, drops Dispensary for a constant stream of ammo, energy, and health orbs, and lets her passive stack a free strength bonus onto every fourth cast. She's built for easy, high-uptime Steel Path and endurance survival rather than raw single-target damage, working as much as a mobile support station for the squad as a solo nuker.

Ability 1Grenade FanThrow out grenades in an arc. (TAP) SHRAPNEL VORTEX Creates a slashing, staggering swirl of shrapnel. (HOLD) SHIELD SATELLITES Protea reconfigures Grenades to work as overcharging shield generators, protecting her, her allies and companions. When Shields break, a Satellite is destroyed to double minimum Shield Gate invincibility time.Energy25Damage500/s SlashShield Restore500Range5mDuration13s

Ability 4Temporal AnchorDrops a Temporal Anchor which, after a short duration, Protea rewinds to trigger a temporal implosion. Implosion damage increases based on damage dealt between anchor drop and rewind. Everything lost or expended in that time is returned. Dying while Anchor is active rewinds Protea to the anchor, saving her. Protea is knocked down and the anchor vanishes.Energy100Damage Recorded25%Range15mDuration8sInvulnerability3s

Roar over Temporal Anchor

How it plays

• Alt-fire Grenade Fan for the shield satellites and keep them up; hold-cast for the shrapnel version when you need damage.
• Dispensary at the hold point feeds the squad energy, health and ammo; it is the reason Protea is on every endless team.
• Blaze Artillery on a chokepoint scales with strength and duration; put it where enemies must walk.

Swap-ins

• Temporal Anchor stays if you like the rewind; Roar is the squad-damage pick.
• Augur Reach for Stretch on tight tilesets.

4 Forma. Strength drives shields and turret damage, duration keeps Dispensary alive. Tap any card to open it; every mod links to its own page where we have one.
