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.

Optimal Approach:
- Focus on rare items first as they are the hardest to obtain. Use groups to increase chances.
- Accumulate Void Traces and run upgraded relics for better rewards.
- You can use recruitment chat to find "Radiant Share" groups.
Refinement Tips:
- Always refine relics to Radiant for the Rare items.
- Exceptional is a good balance for Uncommon (Silver) items.
- Save Void Traces by keeping relics Intact for Common items. Use the drop percentages to decide what to do.
