after Protector death

  • Protector lasts 50s, +3s per in-game minute — roughly 240–275s from the previous point completing, and sooner if you kill it early.
  • Telegraphed 120s before it appears. Charging 0→100% takes 48s; overtime holds at 99% while contested.

What the replays show

Not timed directly. Subtracting the Protector's modelled life leaves a remainder that never exceeds 183.0s across 11 cycles, median 175.4s.

Where this differs from the community sheet

A capture point charges from 0 to 100% in 48s, not the 52s the wiki passed down. 52s would only fit if this battleground's lock were 26s, and every lock measured elsewhere is 30.06s.

Worth knowing

Killing the enemy Protector early brings the next objective sooner. In practice the next point is contestable roughly 240–275s after the previous one completes.
