Hey everyone welcome back! What is up? This video has an insane amount of material and builds in it for Garuda Prime, so listen carefully. I'll be going over a more top level look in the setups so if you want a more in depth version of the original concept you can check each one out in the description below. These are the updated and tailored versions for GarudPrime herself so you will have to keep that in mind when look at the older videos. I'm going to assume you have a fundamental understand of basic Garuda mechanics as this video was not meant as an introduction for the frame. If you have questions about these builds, leave them down in the comments and I will try my best to answer them. Since there are 7 builds and accompanying loadouts, let's get into it. Build 1: This is a basic Garuda Roar, this is a case of just overwhelming firepower, probably the simplest Garuda you can run. The only issue with Roar Garuda, is she lacks reliable CC, since her build lacks it innately and we're subsuming on pure damage. With how fast paced a non CC Garuda needs to play in order to survive, I did slot on Flow since you will probably have to frequent cast for shield gate. This is one of only 2 builds today that actually uses flow because the rest of the builds have munch (xd) more i-frames, CC, or tailored specifically, for disruption. Natural Talent will finds it way onto almost all Garuda builds today because of her overall spammy cast playstyle in general and even moreso on aggressive non CC builds like this. Narrow Minded because none of her abilities scale off range except her 1 but you'll be close to enemies anyways. High strength to double dip Roar and your Seeking Talons force bleeds for 3.59x more damage. Nothing survives it. Rolling Guard for shield gate with Brief Respite, casting any of your abilities will fully regenerate your shield gate including your 1, as long as your pistol or sentinel has 2 Augur pistol mods. Vigorous Swap is optional in case you're using a Xoris primer, alongside a rifle or non dual wield secondary, bonus damage an faster swap speed between guns if needed. Primed Sure Footed will be a staple on all guns today. Arcane Eruption because we have no other source of CC, so this is our survivability stopgap, and a fire rate arcane for if you're DPSing with rifles, or pistols. Be quick, shoot fast, spam your 1 as needed, regen energy with your for 150 back per tap. Your 4 only needs a tap now to launch the bleed priming forwards and is independent of range. You can use this with any weapon you want since you will be getting forced bleeds. Build 2: You've seen this one recently already, this is the Gloomruda Blood Forge build. This is really easy to use, turn on Gloom, bring an launcher, preferably Zarr. Whenever your magazine empties, cast your 3 to get energy back to sustain Gloom while also reloading your entire weapon instantly. Your Gloom will outheal the self damage you inflict from Combat Discipline and this will proc Arcane Avenger for the flat 45% crit. You won't be using your 4 much, if at all. Arcane Acceleration to shoot the launcher faster and this time you'll notice I subsumed Gloom over your 1 instead of 2. This is because I don't feel Mirror Ward actually stops you from dying, it just makes you less likely to get hit. But the only time you can die is while your shields are down. Unlike your 1, your 2 will regen all your shields in a single cast if you have 2 Augur mods on your stat stick pistol. This lets you regenerate all shields instantly with i-frames on top of the 78% Gloom slow. This is the 175+ kills per minute build I showcased last week and is currently one of the highest kills per minute builds in the game. If you just put in a little bit of extra effort where you shoot. I've reached 200 (kills per minute) since then a few times, though, rarely. It's extremely easy to get 150+ (kills per minute). A pet with Enemy Radar will help to see the densest spawns on the map. As a sample Kuva Zarr build I have a toxin progenitor one for this loadout that uses *this* kind of build. Build 3: This is Garuda's version of my magnum opus infinite Gas + Surge Wisp build. We combine the Breach Surge pure Gas setup, yes, Surge itself doing Gas damage, with Garuda here. This requires a double kitgun setup that I'll show their builds in a second but the principle is Theorem Demulcent picks up the elements of residual arcanes you stand in, which are created by kitguns that have residual arcanes equipped. One kitgun has Toxin residuals, the other one has Heat. Zone buffs stick with you for 20 seconds and can be refreshed and also build damage stacks. Together, Toxin and Heat residuals will create Gas and also adds Gas to Breach Surge itself, since, it is considered a weapon. Vigorous Swap makes it easier to swap between your two kitguns and, conveniently, the 165% base damage also buffs Breach Surge, since like I said, it's considered a weapon. It's a straight up 2.65 *final* multiplier to all Breach Surge damage. The Gas Surge will create Gas clouds that damage themselves and create their own sparks. You probably already know the synergy in the past between a traditional Breach Surge Seeking Talons infinite damage loop. This is the even more OP version where the Breach Surge both fuels itself for more sparks and even ramps up Seeking Talons. Fuel energy with your 3, the build honestly should reach damage cap against enemies in a few seconds but I've never seen anything last long enough beyond 1 second and the clouds with Seeking Talons mixed in with it. Arcane Velocity because the rifle kitgun will have Primed Shred on it for punch through and fire rate but the pistol only has Seeker for punch through. The 2 kitgun builds for this Garuda loadout look like this. I won't be explaining the munch (xd) beyond the fact that you use Breach Surge to keep yourself alive and blinds while also helping you to kill enemies to start creating residual zone auras to stand it. Switch between the guns as much as needed to get both Heat and Toxin residual buffs, then your Breach Surge will start destroying everything instantly. You can drag more enemies into existing clouds as well with Magus Anomaly and they will literally die on contact with them. If you want a more detailed explanation on what's going on here, I would *strongly* recommend checking out the Wisp Gas Surge video up top. Man fuck this it's 6am and I'm about to pass out, what am I doing. I'll finish it tomorrow.

11:47 now THIS is something no other WF content creator would do. Go through the math, the actual values and the mechanics of the game to reach a specific build that works. All the others would just say "hey, put this and go". Thank you Az for being so unique and going through all the math for all of us.

[@Aznvasions]

Easy way to pad length Kappa But yea, usually I leave explanations in so people can see why I came to a specific build setup. At least that way if people ask I can just redirect to timestamps instead of explaining the same thing every time.

[@Densoro]

Oh my god, Seeking Gas Surge is _inspired. Mind-blowing._ As I've come to expect on this channel :P I've just been using a Reave build with entirely too much aimglide/too little gravity and strength, because Reave _retains its momentum if it ends in the air_ :D Combine with Seeking Talons to reset your glide and become an Archwing. High efficiency Bloodletting + Rejuvenation makes sure that you can get all your energy back every 1 second, by having at least 3 HP. My multipliers aren't as buckwild as yours, but the movement's important to me c: I do wish the arsenal would display Reave's enthralled _and unenthralled_ damage tho, to prevent misconceptions.

[@Aznvasions]

That's actually...hilarious lmao. I need to try this. It's like a budget Zephyr 1 spam, but actually useful

I still wish they would provide a cosmetic option to hide the talons when not using them as her melee weapons. Since they do get hidden when running weapons that force primary only and they look good hidden.

Think you can make Nyx good? There must be some combination that I’m overlooking

[@Aznvasions]

I don't use her as much. But assimilate with the teleporting Nira set is fun. There's Airburst comps, obvious Roar/Eclipse comps. Those are the only ones I've tried on her. Having fundamentally basic, but effective abilities like aoe rad proc and armor strip kind of doesn't leave much room for desire. Nuke potential, I haven't been able to find one. You always have quality of life helminths, if you want nourish or thermal transfer to save slots on weapon etc.

[@IAmBecomeDeath5]

@AznvasionsPlays With the builds that don't have an ability that can heal how are you getting your health back for bloodletting? I didn't see anything on melee weapons for healing is it just the operator arcane or is there another way your getting health back? Or does anyone know maybe I'm missing something obvious?

[@Aznvasions]

Magus Elevate is what I've been using only for it. I forget a lot of the time as it's my main arcane on my operator almost always.

I am not to familiar with forced slash procs but her Nagantaka might also be fun for applying bleeds, since the weapon is slash weighted, does forced impact on every shot and is not so bad for building crit either.

Yea it's a big step up from the non-prime. The new Nagantaka is very solid

Hey Azn, with the new arcane Molt Reconstruct. Her Thermal Transfer build is quite good now, probably better than Gloom in my opinion (team elemental damage buff, team heal, aoe cc, nuke, doesn't fell asleep while playing).

[@Aznvasions]

malicious is good for single target, so that's isolated to demolysts...and maybe acolytes if you really want that. But that's about it. Four Riders has noticeably lower DPS, but significantly better horizontal dps to trash mob. There are relatively obvious reasons on why I wouldn't recommend using her claws against Demolysts.

All good, that's why I led the video by stating these are updated versions of original Garuda/related builds and that the full videos on each original setup are in the description if looking for mechanics.

[@brendanbean2984]

Maybe it's just me, but if a frame requires Helmith in order to be good, maybe that says something about the frame still needing some work to its own kit. Garuda is a fun frame, but even with these recent improvements, I've found she has difficulty handling steel path without Helmith. My point is that helmith should be an option, not a necessity. That being said, I'm not trying to diss the video. It opened my eyes to a variety interesting of ways to play her and I intend to try most of these out. Keep up the great content!

[@Aznvasions]

Cheers and thanks for watching! I agree her base kit, while more synergistic and functional now, still is very spastic and never really fully reaches a state of stability that her Helminth rotations allow. I do feel she is "comfier" now to the point where she isn't ADHD-levels of maintenance in Steel Path, but there still is a little bit to be desired in her base kit. What I do like is how she has so many options now too.
