LuckyCharm Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Hey all, I really enjoy playing garuda, she's pretty much the berserker i've always wanted in game, right from the moment valkyr was announced all those years ago to be a melee frame. Her kit while a little clunky in execution is still fun to play, but it feels like her 3 really lacks well.. Anything. Its literally just there to get you a little more energy and it costs you hp for it. Other frames with skills similar get a shield, damage or stun enemies around them, give attack speed and armor buffs, let them block bullets, all that fun sort of self buff stuff. It really feels like she needs something of her own in exchange for hurting herself just to get energy or the little her passive buffs her. My suggestion would be to either allow her melee to aoe damage enemies in a radius when she attacks for a short time, or itd be to do something like nidus's stacks, but stack max hp up to a point rather than add more damage. That'd give you incentive to keep casting it, using bloodwell and other methods to heal, then cast it again. Itd effectively make her tankier, while also making her more vulnerable for a time and itd scale meaning the buff is gradual rather than a huge upfront hit of hp. Just some ideas anyway, but really, please giver her a new 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syln Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 I disagree with you, it trade hp for energy giving you one free mod slot (for not using rage mod) and triggering her passive. could use a little upgrade though, adding a 5 sec damage absorb buff equivalent to 100% the hp sacrificed.

(XBOX)SirMilkfiend Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 I think her 3 is balanced the way it is because her 1 is almost 2 abilities being Make a dive on enemy > possible instant kill > make a barrier > absorb damage > charge blood ball > nuke. That's alot of activity for a 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind granting her some status proc immunity while shedding current status procs as well since she's cleansing her blood in the process. 1 hour ago, LuckyCharm said: My suggestion would be to either allow her melee to aoe damage enemies in a radius when she attacks for a short time While it requires some build-up, her Dread Heart and Seeking Talons accomplishes the same. For something simple, Bloodletting makes Garuda really sustainable in both Health and Energy as well as: Quick Thinking Performs well in Energy Reduction Sorties Damage boost due to her Passive.

(XBOX)Lmacncheese Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 I always thought her 3rd cause use something more other then just losing hp just some kind of buff after would be cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Status removal would be pretty great honestly as an on demand way of removing it, assuming it worked during some of them. That or some knockdown immunity for a time, given heavies tendancy to slam when you get in melee range, where she likes to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)thegarada Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Personally, skills 1, 2 and 3 work well. Skill 4 is the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiltskillet Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Quote Garuda, please give her a real third ability. Shoot, Garuda's got like six abilities packed into just her 1, 2, and 4. 😛 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TehGrief Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Garuda might be one of the best synergized frames DE has created to date; the interaction between all of her abilities is incredibly fun to play with. It's an obvious loop to use [2] Blood Altar to heal as you refill your energy using [3] Bloodletting. I could not imagine Garuda without these two abilities. While I personally wish her passive was different, I can honestly say that I would prefer Garuda's abilities to stay as they are - just number tweaks as they've been doing.

Her 4 applies a debuff to enemies causing any type of damage from any source to additionally cause bleed procs on those enemies. What is the issue with it exactly? It's not a passive room nuke and it isn't meant to be, in case that's what you were going for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z3us32610 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 I disagree. Garuda is in a great place and her 3rd allows for a lot of build diversity and synergy for the rest of her abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)LoisGordils Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 I'd add a moderate slash AoE to it as she cuts herself and spins. Enemies near her get slashed and swept by the spinning talons as Garuda cuts herself. But that's about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
