EDIT: Molt Reconstruct is another great augment for Garuda as it allows you to sustain yourself without a healing subsume, forgot to mention this in the Zariman section, apologies! Support me directly on Patreon! www.patreon.com/NovaUmbral And Join the Discord: discord.gg/RUKf8PVn2r Today we have Garuda! I had a bit of help with some friends on relearning her kit, and I got to say, Garuda is a BEAST of a warframe. Thank you for your continued support as always
Garuda is probably the most underrated warframe currently imo. She has so much dps potential and is nigh unkillable with the right build but people sleep on her cause Mesa, Saryn and Octavia exists.
As a Garuda main I gotta say that the best thing you can do for Garuda is to use Molt Reconstruct. It completely replaces her 2 and allows for an infinite energy setup on any build that doesn't have another form of healing.
Came here to say this! I was scandalized when he mentioned Zariman arcanes and _didn't_ bring up Reconstruct! It untethers her from the Gloom meta and opens up her true potential.
@@grimke4036 if you use gloom and you are not saryn, you literally gimp yourself and annoy your party in any way possible. it's a noob trap. Molt reconstruct is completely busted on garuda, fully replenishing health, restoring shield gate and dealing absurd damage ALL with a single button press, while synergizing perfectly with her 3, allowing you to double tap into 4 to have infinite amounts of sustain, energy and even invulnerability.
@@halfeimazuris6419I'd recommend using Molt Reconstruct on Garuda so you can use some actually good abilities on the helminth slot instead of Gloom. I'm personally using Nourish on her as well, it makes all of her attacks prime enemies, deal more dmg and deal more dmg. Pretty perfect for a slash-based frame I'd say.
Garuda is one of the Warframe that have so much potential with the Duviri Decrees. With the combo Double Damage to Status Effects + 50% Chance to propagate a status effect + increase damage per target affected by status effect, you can decimate a horde of enemies quickly, even at very high level. But even without that, she is really solid.
Garuda was literally room clearing all the way to level cap because its slash damage and So long as an enemy is within the circle that pops up when you use your 4, THEY GET HIT. So after you get a bunch of nasty decrees (mainly Double Status And Close Contagion) garuda will insta kill everything with slash procs all the way to level cap and be completely unkillable while doing so due to Invulnerability frames. I’ve gotten all 10 tiers in circuit in one go by carrying with garuda lol
If you bullet jumped to the ceiling and looked down at the map , garuda covers the entire map, or if you bullet jump on the side of the map, it covers the whole map. Plus you never had to touch the ground while doing it because if you spam her 4th it keeps you suspended mid air and you can fly across the map doing it. Garuda is Blood God
Garuda's melee passive makes me wish that was standard for exalted weapons, like, a deactivated version of how they work compared to when they're used through ultimate abilities. I thought they would've done something like that for Kullervo, considering the guy is *literally covered in knives.*
Nah. Garuda'a Talons are pretty "tame" in comparison to other exalted weapons. Excalibur blade is a slash gun projectile with massive status possibility, Mesa's guns are already busted, and Ivara's Artemis Bow is shotgun bow on steroids (mechanically, not in damage. No one cares about Artemis...) And Kullervo? Yeah... Nah. Dude already have a fifteen knives in him and uses them in more creative ways than most emo. Making him an exalted weapon would make him use only that or anything else so I'm happy he have what he have. Look at Mesa. No one care about weapons on her because her 4 exist (it's shame for a "Gunslinger" Warframe to be honest)
@@sirith9157Garuda's Talons tame? It is the best claw weapon in the entire game. I also have no trouble outdamaging any of the other exalted and pseudo-exalted users with Valkyr being the only "maybe".
@@sulevjaaniste5394 i don't mean her Talons are weak. There absolutely amazing in damage and stats. I'm talking about special properties of the weapon. Like Excal energy waves, Mesa's autoaim and that jazz.
@@gvmesaabsolutely unhinged L take wtf... if you are relying THAT hard on bloodrush for your melee builds to work then you need to go watch some videos explaining how melee works
I do think we gotta remember smth that Triburos likes to say as well. Just because smth is worse than smth else, doesn't mean it's worthless. Sure, you got the meta knights who will solely use the utter most efficient weapons and frames and that's fine. But many, me included, tend to find that very boring and would prefer a hit in efficiency if that means a more fun playing experience
She flows alot better than even Saryn or Octavia imo. Her abilities have a constantly adjusting rythm to them depending on tileset, enemy type, mission type and build
I remember those horrible bugs from someone who mainly use her for 4+ years straight (very close to 5). Her Seeking Talons not procing slash bug from the RRR update really hurt her performance and made me only use her in lower levels until it got fixed. Nowadays with Molt Augmented, and Molt Reconstruct, she can have very flexible options for every playstyle without her Blood Altar, although Molt Augmented let her reach Gloom’s max slow without as much strength required without it because the Arcane would do the job for you passively and permanently. But for players who don’t use Gloom, Molt Reconstruct let them use subsumes like Breach Surge, damage buffing abilities (nourish being a juicy option even though multiplicative ones stack independently), Wrathful Advance (fun one for her Talons), Expedite Suffering, and maybe Thermal Sunder for some. Being playing her since release and always kept a special spot in my heart for her🥰, also efficiency affects Bloodletting so Blind Rage isn’t ideal on her outside of Nourish
When I came back to Warframe after 5 years, my friend linked me the Overframe tier list and I saw that Garuda was C-Tier so I ignored her. It was only after lucking into a full Garuda Prime set when farming Void Traces that I thought I'd have a look around at other tier lists and builds to see if I could make her work. It was then I was surprised to discover many lists considering her A-tier. (yes perhaps it serves me right for taking tier lists seriously, but I had just come back so I wanted the guidance) I've been playing pretty much exclusively Garuda for the past month now. Her Augment mods are all incredible, she can work without either Arcane Energise or Prime Sure Footed (which is so important to me atm as I have neither) and she is so much fun to pilot with the constant 3, 4 and 1 usage. Do not sleep on this frame like I did xD
a list of things worth to mention too: -Molt Reconstruct counters her drain on 3, as long as u don't increase your health, ofc, so u can use any skill for free (personally I do the shield gate on her, so keeping my health up just to keep energy up too) -the thing about her 4 working with Nourish is problably due to it having projectiles, and any universal dmg buffs work on warframes projectiles (like in Styanax's 4), not only Nourish, so other great mentions: - Arcane Avenger - Vigorous Swap (and similar swap bonuses problably too, like Chroma's Toxin Ward and Holster aura) - Arcane Arachne (this I haven't tested myself, but it is also an universal dmg buff, so it should work, as it works on Sty's 4) -almost forgot, but hold-casting 1 or 4 while in midair will pretty much always give u hard landings if u don't slide on time, so farming and slotting the "Kavat's Grace" mod is advisable to anyone who don't want to always bother sliding always after casting her skills in midair.
Been maining her for a while now, used to be a Valkyr main but once Molt Reconstruct arrived and Grendel rework happened, Garuda became pretty much perfect for me. One of the most fun and fluid kits in the game imo, with insane dps on top of it. As an extra bonus she's pretty as well.
Got Garuda Prime by accident while farming for other Primes and only just got a chance to use her, and honestly? This is the first time I've ever truly enjoyed a melee build. I think theres some missed potential with her Augments but shes still amazing.
ran a survival mission yesterday with garuda p, everyone else had primes too and we were all roughly the same mastery rank. despite 3 of us getting 3-400 kills, I did 90% of the damage mostly due to her talons. depending on your setup/ mission she has some impressive potential especially in the mid game where you start to really level up mods/ hunt arcanes. i particularly like Molt Reconstruct because at max level it heals allies 6 hp per energy of the initial cost of abilities, with garuda being built to constantly cycle abilities and have infinite energy, it helps make her an incredible team player.
The 2 biggest buffs ever to Garuda have been the uncapped casting speed (it was before capped to 50%) and molt reconstruct, I really think that once invested and mastered its by far the strongest Warframe in the game
You know... Gloomruda is so strong that I completely forgot that her 1 and 4 exist. And just so you have fun, get some yellow shards and pump her cast speed up to ridiculous levels and get something like a tigris... It is funny AF.
17:45 aint no way he missed the arcane that made garuda not be forced to subsume gloom or switch to operator to heal. This shit single handedly makes her so much more comfy while only being an arcane.
Garuda was the first ever warframe I bought with Plat. Still being new to the game, i adored her berserker playstyle, dropping my health to maximize my damage. I left warframe for a while, and when I came back, she was a whole new being… and SO much more fun to play. I’m currently running her with Wisp’s subsume over blood altar, and the damage is absolutely nutty.
I love playing Garuda. Her abilities work so well together and you can build and maintain momentum in a way that it just feels great to play her. Sacrifice health for energy and passive, turn enemy into health fountain, get your shield, soften up enemies with her ultimate and finish em off with the blood ball.
Garuda needs a small qol imo, Her 1 should charge on a single hold and not on a continuous hold, this way its easier to move around and tbh she should have an augment change where if she dies and has the heart active the heart should be consumed and leave her on 2hp and 3s of invulnerability
One thing I just learned today is put the mod quick thinking on her. Blood letting twice and she’s invincible until she runs out of energy. Seeing as bloodletting gives her energy for health its infinite while gloom or something is active
Damn you didn't talk about ability spam garuda which is her current version who BTW is insanely op you can room clear spamming her 4 with nourish and molt reconstruct + molt augment giving her infinite energy+healing +invincibility during Animations + aoe dmg she can do level cap with ease
Thanks for reminding about garuda ill use her when i get off work. Ive been using gara only for several months and cant use anyone else because everyone else felt boring.
I've been having fun with using her Dread Mirror - Gloom (replacing Blood Altar) - Bloodletting You don't have to worry about her taking much if any damage because of Dread Mirror, Gloom heals whatever damage Bloodletting sapped for energy, the energy is fed into Gloom, and you just have this constant cycle of Dread Mirror, Bloodletting with Gloom up, and I've been running her with her Nagantaka because I have a riven for it and it just chunks Steel Path enemies down.
This just reminds me the fact I have yet to obtain her because I can't get that one relic with her systems And I simply can't be bothered leveling up Fortuna for the basic version
Ember's Fire Blast is one example sadly. Very inconsistent armor strip thanks to an overly aggressive line-of-sight check and I really hope they fix that v.v
I gave my Garuda Prime 5 crimson archon shards; her melee crit multiplier is over 7x . My biggest problem is finding enemies thick enough to gain combo on. XD
I will always LOVE my Gloomruda more than any other setup. Gloom on Garuda instead of her 2 will forever be my go to setup in high end content as the loop is just so fun and ultra survivable.. Well up until Eximus were added but it wasn't a huge issue to mark them as priority My build could be better but I don't mind negative energy efficiency with my (if I remember correctly) 300% (or at least close to) ability strength
Garuda main here, got her from a Twitch Prime drop YEARS ago (Around 2018 / 2019) and I've loved her ever since. I mained her until I got to the hard stuff past the star chart and got distracted by other frames. I feel Garuda has always been in a good place though, she's never been bad but people sleep on her because there's better choices for specific things. She basically has infinite health, infinite energy and infinite slash damage. Just slap some great weapons on her, and she's probably the easiest frame besides Rhino for an average player.
One thing that I hate that DE hasn't gone around and fix is the fact that u lose the prime detail of ur first ability if ur running a tennogen skin with prime details on which is bizarre since a lot of other frames maintain their ability prime details on when ur running tennogen with prime details on. This is somyhing tjat also affects octavia, ur roller gets the default design rather than the prime one
Around 14:30, I have to correct you that Nourish Styanax for RJ spamming is wrong. You really want dispensary on any frame (or use Protea) along with Equilibrium and Synth Fiber. You can summon Dispensary twice due to tactical abilities also, and this turns out to be way more energy gain than anything else. Also, Thermal Sunder Garuda is insanely good for nuking and ESO, definitely worth a mention.
I did mention Styanax being *preferred* but dispensary is nice as well, I personally don't care much about which energy source to use since all of them are good anyways.
The thermal sunder nuke is similar to harrow tho, different feelings, same-ish result. Would highly recommend asking for a rhino in your team since thermal sunder with high roar% is absolutely bonkers. You wont disappoint if you want your garuda thermal eso nuke to reach a whole new level of broken. *If you care to hear me explain:* assume that you know how thermal works, normal thermal is nah without being able to spam it massively like garuda or harrow, or you just bump the scaling so much like rhino, since...he is the roar. if you build strength, assume that you have 200str, thermal heat does a base 1800dmg, technically should be a 3600 7200 14400, if you clap the 2nd 3rd and 4th time, and with 8 total heat ticks in the burning, but now lets say a rhino with a roar of 150% is involved, roar will instead make thermal deal 4500dmg at base, and roar will dip the thermal scaling, making it 2x + roar%, aka a 3.5x multiplier, which thermal now deal 4500 15750 55125 192938 at 1st 2nd 3rd 4th time clapping, and with the dmg goes up, heat ticks now deal better dmg, and with roar, you have the dot scaling bumped up by a final 2.5x. a 150% roar makes thermal's measly 14k dmg into 192k by existing at 4th clap, and this is only direct hit, even a 100% is still 97k, and I don't even count the dot yet... (should be a 125% direct dmg per tick, since 50% x 250% with roar) even wave 14+ eso should not be able to stop you, not even SP itself. (And lets not talk about the possible synergies can be done in duviri. Once tried with thermal rhino, you 3 clap level 2.5k enemies, eximus without overguard in 4 claps and the insane decree synergy of double dipping the thermal scaling again, making it 12.25x instead of 3.5x with torment twofold. Snagging kills from octavia feels good, and you cam hold onto defense and exca with no problem since stomp have a 47.5m radius cc now.)
Garuda is my fav. I fell in love with her first time I saw warframe. Back then however, there was no prime. Fast forward to now, I still love my blood mommy, but... I just wished her 4th was stronger as the 1st doesmt suit my playstyle. But. She looks awesome and her prime looks badass. I equip Molt reconstruct to her that just flat out replaced her 2nd. So I just spam 3 and 4 and call it a day. I did however find her claws to just be... op. Even for a MR8 noob, it was obvious it was strong. Now however I'm struggling to build a steel path viable Garuda (I legit just subsumed Grendel). Lowkey. It was all to funny to watch her just... break the game. But thanks for this vid on my fav warframe. Edit. I found out she can fly. Just hold right click and spam the 4th while in air and she's a Apache Helicopter.
Just wanna mention as a new player, Garuda prime is pretty insane as a fresh frame. And it's because of her claws, they are basically prime weapons, without the mastery rank requirements. I constantly joke with my friends: Garuda has skills? Cos imo, they don't do much. But those claws and her passive for an early player are kinda insane. I know her skills and stuff are of value, but they probably need the right set up, especially augment mods, which as a newer player I be lacking yo. Kinda nice they all make ya invincible while casting though, as a get out of jail free card when you run into a 1v10 encounter wildly swinging like a frenzied cat ^^ and yes, I really like the healing return mod on her claws how did you guess?
@@surr3ald3sign around 3 months at this point, I've been playing pretty hardcore though, I have wisp and an incarnate hate. I call it my bonk stick. I've unlocked steel path, but I plan to slow down, simply because I have the opportunity to play what I want, when I want now. Am building other frames in the background, have a Titania build, Working on khora (bite mod, can you drop already please?), But I'm always happy to see my Garuda in circuit, cos not having a good melee there happens way too often for me :3
Took me 2 months straight to farm for her (with friends) and I was so burnt out after that I took a break before I even played her 😂 still my favorite warframe next to ember and xaku
I'm pretty new but garuda is def my favorite frame by far. Only issue is she has a bug on her 4/talons where if you spam it you get stuck in a state where you cant sprint or jump/bullet jump and it's aids.
I was a Garuda main before she was that strong. Became Gauss main when he was considered mediocre. I just hope every other warframe who I main for months will become strong enough.
I brought that Garuda deluxe skin and if put n a make weapon the her claws for that skin would glitch out and go back to default messing uo my whole fashion frame
Since her weapon isn’t an exalted weapon you can acolyte mods on it but the prime version has higher stats but not sure why since other exalted weapons don’t have that. My guy you answered your own confusion right before that
Hey, I'm kinda new to the game, and Garuda was my first prime frame. I still main her. She's really fun to play with, and I love her built-in claws. After making some black magic with archon shards, the gameplay became even more entertaining. She's the one of the best warframe when you're starting steel path bc of 1st and 4rd ability bc you can handle guys with comparable to level damage. I also think that Titania and Equinox are also really fun and underrated. Crafting Ivara rn, hope i will like her too!
EDIT: Molt Reconstruct is another great augment for Garuda as it allows you to sustain yourself without a healing subsume, forgot to mention this in the Zariman section, apologies!

Crazy underrated, her DPS and sustainability is off the charts!
She is as unkillable as any warframe that can shield gate
mabye back then but right now diff is not underrated
Yeah, she can heal fast and has scaling damage, but she is made of tissue paper and underperforms almost everywhere.
Everywhere i go people would always rate her A or A+ i don't think that's underrated
Garuda will be my queen forever

It is a gooooooood day when Nova uploads!
I didn't realize her 4 forces slash on all damage instances. That's nuts. Maybe I should try her out in Disruption?
Damn I didn't know that garuda came such a ways, and no lie once I learned how to use her kit she turned out to be tons of fun
Damn you didn't talk about ability spam garuda which is her current version who BTW is insanely op you can room clear spamming her 4 with nourish and molt reconstruct + molt augment giving her infinite energy+healing +invincibility during Animations + aoe dmg she can do level cap with ease
Thanks for reminding about garuda ill use her when i get off work. Ive been using gara only for several months and cant use anyone else because everyone else felt boring.
Ah yes, my first prime warframe
Love your videos keep them coming😊
I stopped playing with garuda cause gauss, baruuk, and hildryn exist but she’ll be my absolute favorite frame of all the time I’ve played
Thank you sm for releasing this 💜 as a Garuda main it means so much 😭
nice, new video
I've been having fun with using her Dread Mirror - Gloom (replacing Blood Altar) - Bloodletting
You don't have to worry about her taking much if any damage because of Dread Mirror, Gloom heals whatever damage Bloodletting sapped for energy, the energy is fed into Gloom, and you just have this constant cycle of Dread Mirror, Bloodletting with Gloom up, and I've been running her with her Nagantaka because I have a riven for it and it just chunks Steel Path enemies down.
Azinvasions did put up that crazy infinite feedback loop of damage. She is a monster, through and through
Great video as always, I'm surprised how varied her update history is. Is Valkyr somewhere on that to-do list?
*Sighs and goes into the trade market* yes I’ll like to buy one Garuda Prime please.
I've only played Garuda once, and only unleveled in the Circuit w/ loaner mods. I guess it's time I give her a shot.
Whenever you do Yareli, please have Sayu's theme from NSR be the intro song 🙏
Lycath's hunt is pretty sick as a replacement for her 2. Health orb shenanigans are fun for the talons.
Garuda is THE ONLY frame that I spent my money on. I love using Garuda so much!!!
This just reminds me the fact I have yet to obtain her because I can't get that one relic with her systems
And I simply can't be bothered leveling up Fortuna for the basic version
I really like how her abilities work through walls and small geometry unlike some other frames (cant think of any specific examples)
Ember's Fire Blast is one example sadly. Very inconsistent armor strip thanks to an overly aggressive line-of-sight check and I really hope they fix that v.v
@@NinjaSyao omg I wish it went back to how it was so badly
I gave my Garuda Prime 5 crimson archon shards; her melee crit multiplier is over 7x . My biggest problem is finding enemies thick enough to gain combo on. XD
Still waiting on that Khora video I asked you about.
Meanwhile, these videos about melee based frames keep me entertained.
I will always LOVE my Gloomruda more than any other setup.
Gloom on Garuda instead of her 2 will forever be my go to setup in high end content as the loop is just so fun and ultra survivable.. Well up until Eximus were added but it wasn't a huge issue to mark them as priority
My build could be better but I don't mind negative energy efficiency with my (if I remember correctly) 300% (or at least close to) ability strength
another underrated frame, please do Zephyr next!
hey man. can i get the color combo of your garuda? those colors look sick! and would love to add some drip to my garuda.
Can you make a video on your warframe settings?
Crafting her prime rn, hyped as hell
My killer queen ❤ Garuda came out the week I started playing warframe
this man finally uploaded
Garuda main here, got her from a Twitch Prime drop YEARS ago (Around 2018 / 2019) and I've loved her ever since. I mained her until I got to the hard stuff past the star chart and got distracted by other frames. I feel Garuda has always been in a good place though, she's never been bad but people sleep on her because there's better choices for specific things.
She basically has infinite health, infinite energy and infinite slash damage. Just slap some great weapons on her, and she's probably the easiest frame besides Rhino for an average player.
One thing that I hate that DE hasn't gone around and fix is the fact that u lose the prime detail of ur first ability if ur running a tennogen skin with prime details on which is bizarre since a lot of other frames maintain their ability prime details on when ur running tennogen with prime details on. This is somyhing tjat also affects octavia, ur roller gets the default design rather than the prime one
Babe wake up new NovaUmbral video dropped
I would love to see a nezha video in this style. I main him and he’s by far my favorite frame
Just got Garuda Prime after what feels like years of trying.😊
Around 14:30, I have to correct you that Nourish Styanax for RJ spamming is wrong. You really want dispensary on any frame (or use Protea) along with Equilibrium and Synth Fiber. You can summon Dispensary twice due to tactical abilities also, and this turns out to be way more energy gain than anything else. Also, Thermal Sunder Garuda is insanely good for nuking and ESO, definitely worth a mention.
I did mention Styanax being *preferred* but dispensary is nice as well, I personally don't care much about which energy source to use since all of them are good anyways.
The thermal sunder nuke is similar to harrow tho, different feelings, same-ish result.
Would highly recommend asking for a rhino in your team since thermal sunder with high roar% is absolutely bonkers. You wont disappoint if you want your garuda thermal eso nuke to reach a whole new level of broken.
*If you care to hear me explain:*
assume that you know how thermal works, normal thermal is nah without being able to spam it massively like garuda or harrow, or you just bump the scaling so much like rhino, since...he is the roar.
if you build strength, assume that you have 200str, thermal heat does a base 1800dmg, technically should be a 3600 7200 14400, if you clap the 2nd 3rd and 4th time, and with 8 total heat ticks in the burning, but now lets say a rhino with a roar of 150% is involved, roar will instead make thermal deal 4500dmg at base, and roar will dip the thermal scaling, making it 2x + roar%, aka a 3.5x multiplier, which thermal now deal 4500 15750 55125 192938 at 1st 2nd 3rd 4th time clapping, and with the dmg goes up, heat ticks now deal better dmg, and with roar, you have the dot scaling bumped up by a final 2.5x.
a 150% roar makes thermal's measly 14k dmg into 192k by existing at 4th clap, and this is only direct hit, even a 100% is still 97k, and I don't even count the dot yet... (should be a 125% direct dmg per tick, since 50% x 250% with roar)
even wave 14+ eso should not be able to stop you, not even SP itself.
(And lets not talk about the possible synergies can be done in duviri. Once tried with thermal rhino, you 3 clap level 2.5k enemies, eximus without overguard in 4 claps and the insane decree synergy of double dipping the thermal scaling again, making it 12.25x instead of 3.5x with torment twofold. Snagging kills from octavia feels good, and you cam hold onto defense and exca with no problem since stomp have a 47.5m radius cc now.)
Can u do Nidus?
whaaaaaaaat bloodletting cleanses your status effects? didnt even know that although i played her a decent amount XD
Garuda is my fav. I fell in love with her first time I saw warframe. Back then however, there was no prime. Fast forward to now, I still love my blood mommy, but... I just wished her 4th was stronger as the 1st doesmt suit my playstyle. But. She looks awesome and her prime looks badass.
I equip Molt reconstruct to her that just flat out replaced her 2nd. So I just spam 3 and 4 and call it a day.
I did however find her claws to just be... op. Even for a MR8 noob, it was obvious it was strong. Now however I'm struggling to build a steel path viable Garuda (I legit just subsumed Grendel).
Lowkey. It was all to funny to watch her just... break the game. But thanks for this vid on my fav warframe.
Edit. I found out she can fly. Just hold right click and spam the 4th while in air and she's a Apache Helicopter.
I NEED that Garuda fashion
We need a Valkyr video next! Keep the edgy mommy frames coming
Just wanna mention as a new player, Garuda prime is pretty insane as a fresh frame. And it's because of her claws, they are basically prime weapons, without the mastery rank requirements. I constantly joke with my friends: Garuda has skills? Cos imo, they don't do much. But those claws and her passive for an early player are kinda insane.
I know her skills and stuff are of value, but they probably need the right set up, especially augment mods, which as a newer player I be lacking yo. Kinda nice they all make ya invincible while casting though, as a get out of jail free card when you run into a 1v10 encounter wildly swinging like a frenzied cat ^^ and yes, I really like the healing return mod on her claws how did you guess?
How new are you? Always cool to see a new player having fun with the game 🙂
@@surr3ald3sign around 3 months at this point, I've been playing pretty hardcore though, I have wisp and an incarnate hate. I call it my bonk stick. I've unlocked steel path, but I plan to slow down, simply because I have the opportunity to play what I want, when I want now. Am building other frames in the background, have a Titania build, Working on khora (bite mod, can you drop already please?), But I'm always happy to see my Garuda in circuit, cos not having a good melee there happens way too often for me :3
Took me 2 months straight to farm for her (with friends) and I was so burnt out after that I took a break before I even played her 😂 still my favorite warframe next to ember and xaku
I'm pretty new but garuda is def my favorite frame by far. Only issue is she has a bug on her 4/talons where if you spam it you get stuck in a state where you cant sprint or jump/bullet jump and it's aids.
khorne smile with this video
I just got limbo but i definitely want to farm her now
I was a Garuda main before she was that strong. Became Gauss main when he was considered mediocre. I just hope every other warframe who I main for months will become strong enough.
She's like the Telesto from destiny 2 but in warframe, you fix them they break
yay a vid in my favorite wf
Anyway you could show the colors you used for your Garuda they look really together
I love Garuda, her prime form is her delux skin.
I brought that Garuda deluxe skin and if put n a make weapon the her claws for that skin would glitch out and go back to default messing uo my whole fashion frame
I am upset there was no Tyl Rigor featured as "the aNtiCiPaTioN oOoOhHhH"
RESPECT for the final fantasy 13 music, say what you will about the game but the soundtrack slapped 🔥
I need to see some love for gara fr
Final Fantasy 13 OST, best intro ever !!!!!
Hey nova are u planning on doing a video on equinox
Since her weapon isn’t an exalted weapon you can acolyte mods on it but the prime version has higher stats but not sure why since other exalted weapons don’t have that. My guy you answered your own confusion right before that
Id be interested in what you have to say about my main Styanax.
Hey, I'm kinda new to the game, and Garuda was my first prime frame. I still main her. She's really fun to play with, and I love her built-in claws. After making some black magic with archon shards, the gameplay became even more entertaining. She's the one of the best warframe when you're starting steel path bc of 1st and 4rd ability bc you can handle guys with comparable to level damage. I also think that Titania and Equinox are also really fun and underrated. Crafting Ivara rn, hope i will like her too!
I still find it kinda odd that her Talons can’t use Riven mods
If used properly Garuda can literally wreck infinitely with her energy gain ability
you need to do a video on Grendel
