Garuda Build

Garuda, known as "gore frame", has the anticipation of blood and gore. Her appearance is quite a charm, as she managed to couple with a sense of grace and mystery until you were aware of the metal talons in her arms when she is ready to attack. She is one of the best Warframe for solo or standalone missions, because of her ability to revolve around health and self-buff or debuff.

Garuda's main inaction is Death Gate, that increased the damage at the cost of her health. When the health is about 2 points, it deals 100% additional damage. The second passive is quite fascinating, it’s her talons. Garuda can use her talons as a melee weapon, only when you don’t equip any other alternative melee weapon. It can be modified; in fact, it is very useful, but the range is limited. Her cool and calculating personality brings a new skill to the game, and she will always be limited to Fortuna. This Warframe will require unique resources that can be found only on the Orb Vallis, so try to collect such rare resources when you go on a bounty run or while exploring other caves and fields.

Garuda Special Abilities

Dread mirror - This is quite like a shield of absorption. When you cast this spell, she leaps towards her foe, damaging them with her talons and strip them off. When she approaches her enemies, she will unleash a staggering effect around the target. This can be also used as a shield to protect yourself from the incoming damage. It not only protects you from incoming damage, but it also absorbs it and stores the damage in a blood orb. When the orb is charged you can use it to fire at your enemies.

Blood Altar - Garuda attacks a mob on a stake, siphon off the health and create a staggering effect. This energy restoration can be utilized by you and your allies. She is capable of creating 3 altars at a time, which is quite enough to provide health for the whole group to protect an area. But remember that the ability is duration based.

Bloodletting - This is a synergistic ability. When you activate it, Garuda will slash herself to increase the damage output result, but the cost of half of her health. If you recast this ability again, the reduction in her health will continue until it reaches the base health – 2 points. If you cast it at maximum rank, you will be able to store the health by about 25%. What you have to do is cast Bloodletting to increase the damage output, and use Blood Altar to regain the health.

Seeking Talons - On casting this ability, she will be able to channel the blood beneath which raises her in the air and create a ring aura that expands outwards. Enemies who come in contact with the area of effect will be struck by a flying sphere which causes 150 slash damage and stuns them for 10s. The enemy or mob who comes in contact with this area of effect will be sought out by Garuda’s talons.
