A few issues with garuda

[(PSN)Second_Phase]

Garuda is a good frame and reallllly shines in endgame setups.(survival camps)

However

some of her core traits are problematic...

Her 3rd ability sacrifices her health to gain bonus damage> Thats ok but 100 hp at base (300 at max rank) even with mods is dangerous in any high level scenario especially for a frame with low hp.

 

Her 1st ability protects against damage being fired where you are looking. It doesnt protect you from toxic eximus procs, firewaves, or many melee attacks.

 

Also when you are leaping to attack an enemy you can die from being shot. Needs an invincibility window.

 

Also the range on the mirror is too small. It should curve and cover the sides of the warframe since enemies often have aoe damage or aren't alway attacking from where you are looking.(should be affected by range mods)

I see that the warframe was made to try to be endgame. The damage is there but the survivability is fundamentally flawed.
