Gara Build

This is a Glass themed Warframe as is use glass to defend herself and also turns the enemies into a glass. The passive of Gara is Glint. She uses her glassiness ability to control the crowd. Gara can blind any enemy within 12m for 10s when she stands in the light. 

Gara Special Abilities

Shattered Lash - The glass sword of Gara deals with the Puncture damage and knockback the enemies within the blade range. Hold on to the Ability Key to extend the ability coverage area, after which Gara will use her sword in an arc in front of her and deals with the slash damage to enemies that come in contact with the sword.

Splinter Storm - There will be a glass armor along with Gara’s Outfit. Using this ability, the armor is shattered outwards, that creates a swirling storm of razor-sharp glass for a short radius around her. Enemies who come in contact with this ability range will get stuck to a constant balanced IPS Damage over time and will be pushed back. It will provide 70% damage resistance and affects both health and shields.

Spectrorage - Gara summons a rotating circle of mirrors. This shiny carousel captures the enemies, lure them inside and they begin to attack their reflection. The mirror will have individual health, and when the health is reduced, each mirror will explode individually causing damage on the attacker. The carousel collapses when half of the mirrors are destroyed and cause more damage to the enemies trapped within it. When a mirror shatters within the range of Splinter storm, 50% more damage is added to the DPS of this ability.

Mass Vitrify - When this ability is active, Gara releases an expanding ring of molten glass that expands outwards and downwards creates a wall of glass around her. The ring expands to about 11m at maximum rank. During the expansion, the enemies who come in contact with it will be encased in glass, which hardens and crystallizes them for a duration. The glass wall hardens when it reaches the maximum range when Gara runs out of energy or upon recasting, consists of 12 panels, each with 2,225 base health, that is further augmented by the Armor stat. When the panel is destroyed it will show the effect on the one who destroys it.

Best Gara Builds

Selecting your aura polarity is completely based on your main build. But, if you are planning to use a melee version of Gara, then you can go with Naramon Polarity. Corrosive Projection is the best option, however if you plan to play with melee build use Steel Charge instead, as it will amplify the melee damage output.

Shatter Damage Gara Build

The main focus of this Gara build is about its "Mass Vitrify" ability which creates huge damage to all the enemies around it. All you need to do is, just press 4 and hold on until you reach the maximum duration and then use the shattered lash to shatter the glass ring from inside. This effect will push the glass shards outside and kill every enemy within the range, and the enemies that are inside the glass ring will be solidified for a few moments. So Before activating it, just wait a little more so that you can have more enemies within the range and as long as you use Mass Vitrify you are invulnerable.

Modding this Gara build is pretty easy. Here we have stacked with Stretch or Overextended for range with some good level of strength ability and efficiency. It allows you to cast the ability for a long duration, but it would reduce the explosion range and damage output. As usual, Vitality is the most preferred survival mod.

Remember that, you need to make a note on your energy problem. So, find yourself a Trinity. And secondly, do not use your ultimate ability against the Nullifier. So, press 4 again before you use to hit the Nullifier.

Crowd Control Gara Build

 The main feature of this Gara build is that it freezes all the enemies inside the casting range of your Mass Vitrify ability. Since activating this ability will make you vulnerable, you can use it against the high-level enemies and can use it in Arbitration mode. This build will suit for survival, interception and other similar missions. You need to combine the high duration with good efficiency and range along with a way to regaining energy. Since you won’t be spamming the abilities, you don’t need to use Primed Flow. Getting more efficiency is also a viable option. Hunter Adrenaline is a good option for quality of life mod.

The Melee Gara Build

If you are looking for a melee weapon build, then we suggest you try this Gara Build. The Splinter Strom gives you 70% of damage resistance, which will affect enemies within the ability range. The best things about it are, you can activate it on more than one target so that you can use it yourself and can use it on your enemies before you use a melee weapon. If you don’t have any idea to use it over other targets, then you can drop the Primed Flow. Using is as a shield will also help you. The Streamline is similar to it, but it might not suit everyone. Instead of Streamline, you can use Hunter Adrenaline and Energy Conversion in place of Rage as they will increase the Damage output.

Conclusion

Gara Warframe is a great one and is quite fun to use it. It might not be a superior as other DPS Warframes but is still nice to have and is a good alternative to the current meta. Get a perfect Gara to build and use some forma along with it, then it will be pretty fun to explore with this viable Warframe.
