PROTEA Build (Eclipse instead of anchor with double heat damage from Archon Vitality) *broken AF

The vast majority of my builds are designed to help others, but are also designed for me as reference points to know how I want to build my weapons. And I'm aware that the simulacrum exists, but unlike most of you that will give me shit in the comments, I have a life outside of this game. So this is what. I use when I'm not playing. I'M FULLY AWARE THERE ARE BETTER BUILDS FOR THINGS LIKE STEEL PATH, LEAVE IT ALONE!

[Protea], the warframe that released with the deadlock protocol and one of DE's worst attempts at a time travel quest and a warframe that I refuse to make a reference to Tracer from Overwatch. But I'd say that Protea is an S-tier survivability frame when it comes to her 1 and pretty good when it comes to her 2.

To quote the content creator Triburos and more than half of the WF content creators, she is THE engineer frame. And I KNOW that some of you are going to comment and say "BuT [Vauban] iS BEtTeR," and he is, for CC anyway. But since [Protea] is more of a JOTE frame, this is how I put her together.

But on a much more broken AF note, [Protea]'s passive grants 100% ability strength on her fourth cast. This combined with eclipse in place of temporal anchor is all kinds of broken. The damage output from [Protea]'s passive does stack with eclipse if you cast it at the fourth ability cast. Especially with a fully build exodia contagion zaw and [Growing Power].

For Archon shards I out in three crimson shards. One for melee crit damage, and three for ability duration. I installed one amber shard for casting speed.

But a schtick with [Protea] is that if you hold down her first ability button and cast it three time, you can get a max strength shield satellite to stack and grant an ability strength increase, which regrettably doesn't show up in overframe's UI unlike in game. But running 155% ability strength plus that increase from the shield satellite increases [Protea]'s ability strength to 180%.

But for a frame like [Protea], strength isn't really needed, although it does help the turrets from [Blaze] artillery, it really isn't needed since the turrets get an increased damage multiplier every time they hit an enemy. But if you really wanted to go nuts, you could use [Energy Conversion] to synergies with her third ability dispensary and have ability strength increase when you pick up a blueberry. Or you could use molt augmented to boost her whole kit with a 60% ability strength per kill and have it stack to max and have [Protea]'s ability strength at 240%.

But range isn't something you have to worry about with [Protea] either, at least with a build like this you don't. My turret range gets to about 28.2 meters, or 92 feet for those of you who use freedom numbers, which isn't great, but It works pretty well. If you really wanted to increase your turrets duration you could use molt efficiency to have it synergies with [Protea]'s held 1 for a 36% duration increase.

Use azure shards for energy max.

Keep in mind that this is how I build MY weapon's an warframe's, they work really well for me, so if you are one of those people that is going to to go into the comments and give me shit is to how I play the game, I will kindly ask you to put a tooth pick under your toenail and kick a wall. JOKINGLY OF COURSE.

If you do decide to follow my builds don't get butthurt if your numbers aren't the same, all the riven's are the ones that "I have rolled" so don't psyche yourself out if you don't get a riven that is a good as the ones in my builds.

Be sure to take a look at my other builds. I also recommend looking at the vault status of all prime variants in the second link below. If you want information on the quests and the requirements, I recommend looking on the actual Warframe website under the game dropbox to look at the warframe profile videos as well as looking at the quest guide and the faction types.
