| Tier | A |
| Rarity | Legendary |

How Protagonist works
Protagonist triggers once per fight when you drop below 20% HP. When it activates, you gain:
- +10% damage
- Reduced damage taken
- 8 seconds of duration
- Scaling with Willpower
Because it only activates once per fight, it works best as a clutch trait rather than a constant buff. The low-HP trigger makes it especially useful in close fights where surviving the first burst matters.
Where Protagonist fits in Grand Blue traits
Traits in Grand Blue are permanent-ish build modifiers with rarity tiers and strong effects across movement, survivability, damage, and utility. Protagonist is part of that system as a combat-focused survivability trait with a burst damage payoff.
