Protea vs Titania
Same Support / Healer fantasy — which support kit fits your squad and mission rota?
TL;DR — Quick Pick
Pick Protea if…
- You're sold on Protea's fantasy (Protea knows all about protection) more than another Support / Healer option.
- Titania's pitch (“Titania’s fairy-like appearance belies her formidable regal power”) isn't what you're missing — Dispensary is.
- You're buying into Protea's passive — every caststh Power Cast is granted +a percentage Ability Strength.
Pick Titania if…
- You want the squad gap filled by Titania's vibe — Titania’s fairy-like appearance belies her formidable regal power.
- Protea's pitch (“Protea knows all about protection”) isn't what you're missing — Lantern is.
- You're buying into Titania's passive — titania generates Health for herself and nearby allies every time she casts an Ability.
Verdict
Both fill the Support / Healer lane. Lean Protea for Dispensary and Dispensary; lean Titania for Lantern and Lantern. Mission Usefulness is where they split: long-range / Eidolon (Weak vs Excellent — edge Titania).
