Protection Objective, also known as Objective Point, is a terrain feature in Arknights.
Enemies will normally head towards a specific Protection Objective; should an enemy managed to enter one, the player to lose Life Point(s) depending on the enemy in question, with the exception of allied units and certain enemies. Notably, Talulah, the Fighter will spawn from a Protection Objective and heads toward an Incursion Point, instead of the other way around that other allied units do.
If the enemy's path intersects with a Protection Objective other than which they are heading, the enemy will pass through said Objective without actually entering it, which can be easily noticed in CB-EX8 and 7-12. It is impossible to close every path to a Objective with Roadblocks, so the player will have to leave at least one path open for enemies; in Reclamation Algorithm, doing so with Urban Style Barriers will force enemies to move through the closest Barrier to the Objective instead.
Protection Objectives are notably absent on the following operations:
