(Where it sits)

It is thin on armor (89th of 117), which is what a build has to answer for.

It ships with 2 polarities already installed, plus Aura on the aura slot, so that much of the board costs no forma.

Aura slot: Aura
Helminth can subsume: Dispensary
Progenitor element: Heat

(Abilities)

01

Grenade Fan 25 energy

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.
02

Blaze Artillery 50 energy

Deploys an artillery unit to blast plasma charges at enemies it faces. Each enemy hit increases the power of subsequent plasma attacks.

Augment: Temporal Artillery
03

Dispensary 75 energy Subsumable

Deploys a device that generates 3 pickups after a short delay: empowered health orb, universal ammo pack and energy orb.

Augment: Repair Dispensary
04

Temporal Anchor 100 energy

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.

Augment: Temporal Erosion

Costs are base figures, before efficiency.

(Acquisition)

The blueprint is a reward for The Deadlock Protocol; Cephalon Simaris sells a replacement if you lose it. The parts are farmed separately. Skipping all of it costs 325 platinum in the market, or 35,000 credits for the blueprint alone.
