Warframe: Protea Prime Build and Impressions

Every three months, a new prime warframe is added to the game, and it’s high time Protea got her royal treatment. Protea herself is very strong as is, and her prime version is pretty much just her, with a little bit of a boost to her stats. But first, before I go over her as a whole, let us go over the build I have for her.

Protea Prime Build in Warframe

Below is the build I have for her:

So, for starters, I want to say this is more for general use. But it does lean into Protea’s second ability more with Archon Vitality. Archon Vitality adds a second stack of burn onto enemies, so it’s kind of a no brainer. The efficiency will allow you to spam her abilities, and even more so if you use her fourth ability first. The Molt Efficiency and Augmented allow for more power strength over the course of a mission in Warframe. As well as more duration when you keep her shields up with her first ability. When it comes to Archon shards, I am using a few crimsons for more strength, and one blue for armor. With two tauforged yellow for casting speed and more gains on energy orbs. I replaced dispensary with Styanax’s Therros Strike for some armor stripping of boss-like enemies.

Now onto the difference between her normal and prime variant, as you can see below:

It is a subtle touch up in stats, but the extra little bit of energy does help. As does the extra dash polarity to avoid forma usage. Protea Prime is incredibly strong, even in Elite Archimedea, and other Steel Path activities, like yesterday’s Elite gift of the lotus alert. She does require a skillful hand, so do give her abilities some practice before diving into the deep end in Warframe.
