The Protea Specter is a boss encountered near the end of The Deadlock Protocol quest. She is the bodyguard of Parvos Granum.
Tactics[]
She is armed with the 
Velox and the 
Gunsen melee weapon which she will use if the player is at range or within melee range respectively. She has a rapidly regenerative shield and four health gates. After depleting one of her health gates, she will charge her 
Temporal Anchor ability to regain all of her health after a few seconds. The player must charge their 
Xoris beforehand by hitting three Specter Particles that spawn from dead Errant Specters. Performing a heavy attack with a fully charged Xoris during Protea's charging period will prevent her from using her Temporal Anchor. Repeat four times until she is dead.
