Understand Protector Posture
Useful when…
- Focusing the companion's attacks on enemies within 15 meters of the Warframe.
- Using a claw stance with listed Puncture Status Effects.
Targeting and attack effect
Protector Posture directs the companion to prioritize attacking enemies within 15 meters of the Warframe. Its attacks inflict +1 Puncture Status Effects at rank 0 and +4 Puncture Status Effects at rank 3. It is a standard stance mod for Claws with Penjaga polarity, maximum rank 3, and listed base drain -2.
Rank investment
The mod has three ranks. The listed costs are 10 Endo and 483 Credits from rank 0 to 1, 20 Endo and 966 Credits from rank 1 to 2, and 40 Endo and 1,932 Credits from rank 2 to 3. The attack priority is described at all ranks; the listed Puncture Status Effects change with rank.
Other stance behavior
Assassin Posture prioritizes Eximus and other high-ranking enemies and adds Overguard damage. Bell Ringer makes melee attacks knock enemies down and apply Impact Status Effects. Balanced Posture lets the companion act freely and staggers enemies within 2 meters while moving. These have distinct targeting or attack effects from Protector Posture's nearby-enemy priority and Puncture Status Effects.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The 15-meter priority radius is centered on the Warframe.
- The listed effect applies to the companion's claw attacks.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not confuse the 15-meter target-priority range with an attack range.
