Hello there,
Updated for Prime.
[Protea] is a caster Warframe who doesn't need to use even a single weapon to kill. Her skills do the job for her. All she has to do is "cast abilities" and focus on her movement (never stay still).
Playstyle:
You just have to face enemies, cast skills, and watch the world burn .
Passive:
- After casting three abilities, [Protea] empowers her next ability cast with an additive 100% Ability Strength bonus
Just imagine, You cast Dispensary, then you cast Nourish, then Grenade Fan and the next ability going to be empowered with +100% Strength.
Aura:
- Growing Power, because You want all Strength You can get
Exilus:
- NONE - You don't really need anything out there...
- Primed Sure Footed, You can't crush Your enemies with her butt, so focus on her higher survivability
- Power Drift, because You want all Strength You can get
Mods & Stats:
- Every Strength mod is here to hit hard and increase Damage and Extra Pickup Drop Chance
- High Range gives You a lot of maneuvering space and gives Your skills a larger guidance area
- Keep Your Duration as high as possible, this will give You more time to collect Energy Orbs and all Your skills more effective
- lowered to the bottom Efficiency should not be a problem, You got Your own Energy Orbs Dispenser, and thanks to Nourish, better Energy Multiplier
- You don't care about Archon Vitality Rank, You use it only for its Bonus
- Rolling Guard is here in case when shit hit the fan, dodge and find save place
Arcanes:
- Energize: Energy replenish on Energy Orb pickup, 15s cooldown
- Eruption: knockdown on Energy Orb pickup
- Molt Augmented: up to +60% Strength on kill
- Molt Efficiency: up to 36% Duration over a period of time while Shields are active
Archon Shards:
- Crimson Archon Shards (RED): +10% (+15%) Ability Strength or +10% (+15%) Ability Duration
- Amber Archon Shards (YELLOW): any but Parkour Velocity, +25% (+37.5%) Casting Speed is always welcome
- Azure Archon Shards (BLUE): none
Focus School:
- Zenurik for Energy Replenish
- Madurai for its Power Transfer and Sling Strength
- Vazarin for its Void Snare and Protective Sling
Any other Focus School for whatever reason you want to achieve
Helminth:
- Roar - boost your overall damage
- any grouping ability (personal choice - Ensnare) - keeping your enemies in one place can help you maintain damage from her abilities
- any armor/shield stripping ability (personal choice - Tharros Strike/Pillage) - to strip obviously
- Nourish - boost damage, boost energy regain, add Viral
- Tempest Barrage - (in addition with 2 green shards for +2 Corrosive stack each) - with augment, add Viral, strip armor
Any of the above is to replace her 4th ability... I know I can add augment to it and strip armor, but... I hate her 4th ability to the bottom, anything is better than her 4th.
Loadout:
- Weapons? Any weapon you like, you are going to use those to activate Aura, to prime, to boost your damage from skills... probably not to kill.
Summary:
[Protea] is very different from other Warframes, she can easily cheese the entire game without sweat, without shoot any bullet, without swing any melee. All You have to do is cast her abilities.
Enjoy!
