(Where it sits)

Protea Prime has no extreme in its base stats — every one of them sits in the middle of the roster, so what it does comes from its abilities rather than its numbers.

It ships with 3 polarities already installed, plus Aura on the aura slot, so that much of the board costs no forma.

(Abilities)

  1. 01

    Grenade Fan 25 energy

    Throw 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.

  2. 02

    Blaze Artillery 50 energy

    Deploys an artillery unit to blast plasma charges at enemies it faces. Each enemy hit increases the power of subsequent plasma attacks.

    Augment: Temporal Artillery

  3. 03

    Dispensary 75 energy Subsumable

    Deploys a device that generates 3 pickups after a short delay: empowered health orb, universal ammo pack and energy orb.

    Augment: Repair Dispensary

  4. 04

    Temporal Anchor 100 energy

    Drops 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.

    Augment: Temporal Erosion

Costs are base figures, before efficiency.

(Acquisition)

Protea Prime comes out of Void relics — 28 of them across its 4 parts. It is in the Vault: those relics no longer drop, so the only routes left are a player who already holds them and the occasional unvaulting.

In the Vault — the relics below are not in the current drop tables.

Chances are per reward roll, as the drop tables state them. Relic rows show the chance at each refinement; a relic drops Intact.
