Warframe Abilities
Grenade Fan
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.
Blaze Artillery
Deploys an artillery unit to blast plasma charges at enemies it faces. Each enemy hit increases the power of subsequent plasma attacks.
Dispensary
Deploys a device that generates 3 pickups after a short delay: empowered health orb, universal ammo pack and energy orb.
Temporal Anchor
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.
Protea Prime vs Protea
| Stat | Protea | Protea Prime | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Health | 270 | 270 | - |
| Shield | 455 | 455 | - |
| Armor | 135 | 185 | +50 |
| Energy | 175 | 200 | +25 |
The Primed variants offer improved stats over the base versions, and most importantly better armor which is what we call truly end-game.

7 Source RelicsProtea Prime Farming Strategy and Radshare Tips
Optimal Approach:
- Go for the Chassis Blueprint first. It has the lowest item drop rate in the Protea Prime set and will be the hardest to farm, when comparing to other parts.
- Best relic to focus: Meso P17.
- In full radiant relic squad, you have a 34.39% chance per run vs 10.00% when running solo.
- After that: Systems Blueprint from Neo P9 (10.00% per-player for Radiant).
Refinement Tips:
- Use Radiant (100 Traces) on Meso P17 while going for the Chassis Blueprint; always run radshares in groups.
- At current rates, you can expect roughly 2 Radshare runs for 50% odds for the required prime part, compared with about 7 solo runs.
- Run Intact/Exceptional Relics only when farming for common or uncommon primes (these are great for ducat farming), use Void Traces for the relics with hard to farm parts. Especially Axi Relics.
