The favorite of the founder of the Corps. Protea has always stood out among others, as it was created in a single copy. Its uniqueness gives it a touch of luxury that its owner has always adhered to - Parvos Granum.
This article will be devoted to, perhaps, the most useful support and a good damage dealer in the world of Warframe after Trinity - Protea.
If you don't have an account yet, we recommend sign up with bonuses in Warframe. You will also find a list current promo codes.
General information
Lost in time as a Warframe, dormant awaiting her master's orders, Protea faithfully carried out Parvos' punishments until the arrival of the Tenno. After his release and the struggle with Spectrum Protea Granum grants the player the ability to craft Protea at their forge in Orbiter.
In terms of resources, it is not so difficult to create Proteus: everything you need can be found on regular missions and in flight to Railjack. It’s only harder to get parts of it, such as neuro-optics, case and system.
Protea is the first and so far the only warframe with a universal aura polarity, which other frames do not have. This allows the Warframe to be more flexible in the different builds that are built for it.
What is required to create Protea
The first thing you may need is main drawing. He is given out for completing the quest "Protocol: Dead Center". Otherwise, you won't be able to get it at no cost. If a drawing is needed, and Warframe has been deleted, you can contact Cephalon Simariswho will provide the right product for modest 50.000 reputation.
Now for the rest of the parts. They (neurooptics, frame and system) are mined in only one place - in Granum Abyss. To get there, you need to find special coins for donations - Granum crowns, which are obtained by killing a special unit - Treasurer.

Protea's abilities
- Fan of explosions. It has two effects, each of which is triggered by pressing a button. A short press releases orbs that deal slash damage. Long pressing instead of dealing damage restores the shields of the player, his allies and companions faster. You can extend the duration, radius and strength of the skill with the appropriate mods.
- Blazing Artillery. An artillery mount with homing and piercing damage appears behind Protea's back (it hits all those who stand close enough to the target from behind). With each shot, the damage increases, and this continues until the end of the skill or the expenditure of all projectiles. Strength and duration mods can make the ability stronger and more useful.
- Dispensary. The most useful ability for a support. Allows Protea to create a device that drops one of three resources onto the ground every 2-3 seconds: energy, universal ammo, or health. Duration and strength mods will improve the duration and drop rate of an additional object (for example, two spheres of energy).
- Temporary Anchor. Ultra Protea. Having “removed” the moment in which she is when the ability is activated, the Warframe can safely deal damage to opponents, move and perform other actions. At the end of all recorded images, I begin to move back to the original rack. Use to improve the cost of mods for strength, duration and distance.
Synergies with Protea
Protea is a rather interesting Warframe, greatly improving the state of the team, but one that has the skills it needs.
Consider those Warframes that can help the player to the maximum.
- Hildrin. Using her first spell, Protea can help Hildryn regenerate shields and thus increase the duration of her ultimate, Burial Storm.
- Gara. Gara's Fragmentation Storm combined with Protea's Fan of Explosions greatly increases the survivability of any Warframe.
- Reno. Increases damage with your Roar.
- Nidus. The third ability (Parasitic Link) works in a similar way to Rhino's Roar.
- Equinox. Humility and Taunt when activated in daytime form will increase the power of any Protea ability.
- Limbo. Protea can use almost any of the four abilities while in the Limbo Rift.
Top builds for Protea
As already mentioned, Protea is a rather flexible character who can easily adapt to any of the possible situations. Consider one of the settings below.

- Continuity Prime. Increases duration.
- Strengthening Umbra. More strength and improved Sentient resistance.
