With Protea Prime Access starting on May 1, 2024, many players are eager to know how to get this Warframe. She boasts a diverse skillset that can refresh your shield gate, decimate Steel Path enemies, as well as provide squad-wide health and energy sustain.

The process of acquiring this Warframe is much like any other Primed gear: you have to crack the new Void Relics that have surfaced to get it. Compared to the acquisition of regular Protea, grinding these Relics may feel like less of a hassle, as runs in the Granum Void can start to get boring.

This article will go over everything you need to know to build a full set of the new Warframe.

Here are all the Void Relics you need to build Protea Prime:

  • Main Blueprint: Meso W4 (Common)
  • Neuroptics Blueprint: Neo P6 (Uncommon)
  • Chassis Blueprint: Axi P7 (Rare)
  • Systems Blueprint: Lith P9 (Rare)

These Void Relics are obtainable from different sources based on what era it is from. If you are not familiar with where to farm these, here's a handy guide on the easiest ways to farm Void Relics of each type.

Once you get the Relics, it's a matter of luck whether the part drops for once you crack it open in a Void Fissure. Protea Prime involves two rare (gold) parts, meaning some players will need to stockpile a lot of Axi P7 and Lith P9 Relics before they eventually get a full set.

The Protea Access has also unveiled two new Primed equipment for you to brandish: the Okina Prime and this Warframe's signature Velox Prime.

Void Relics for Velox Prime

  • Velox Prime Blueprint: Axi F2 (Uncommon)
  • Velox Prime Receiver: Lith T12 (Common)
  • Velox Prime Barrel: Meso B9 (Rare)

Void Relics for Okina Prime

  • Okina Prime Blueprint: Neo O2 (Rare)
  • Okina Prime Blade: Axi B8 (Common)
  • Okina Prime Handle: Meso G7 (Uncommon)

Warframe Protea Prime build in 2024: Mod setup and Helminth

Protea Prime boasts a higher Energy Pool and base Armor compared to her regular variant. Here are all of her stats:

Armor185
Health370
Shields555

Sprint Speed1.2

Protea's damage comes from Blaze Artillery, which is heat-based. Considering this, Archon Vitality is a must-have on your mod setup. Otherwise, your build has room for flexibility. The general order of modding priority should be Ability Duration > Ability Range > Ability Strength > Ability Efficiency.
