Cheaper Glass Canon | 90% Dmg. Red. | Million DPS | No Augur Secrets, Nearly Identical Stats

This is a modified version of this build. If you are looking for a guide for this build, look, at that build instead of here. This guide is just to explain the modification which is for those who don't have a copy of [Augur Secrets] and really don't want to bother getting one yet.

Sure, technically this build is very very slightly worse, but it avoids using [Augur Secrets], which is an absolute pain to get. If you want to go the buying route, it will usually set you back about 50 platinum, and if [Gara] is the only frame you personally need it for, I don't really see it being worth paying that price. The difference in ability strength (130% compared to 134%) really doesn't matter. You still get the 90% damage reduction from Splinter Storm, and that's really all that matters for that stat on [Gara]. You will quickly get enough damage from shattering the Mass Vitrification anyways. The other stats are identical.
Instead of [Augur Secrets], running [Augur Reach], as well as running [Overextended] at rank 3 instead of rank 5 still results in having the same ability range, 169%, at the cost of only 4% ability strength. The polarities are all the same as well, so swapping between the two builds isn't a problem when you do obtain [Augur Secrets].

I'd also like to point out that both builds still work with regular [Continuity] instead of its primed variant if you don't have that either. However, that will result in a 5.5 seconds loss of duration for Splinter Storm which means you'll be consuming energy quite a bit faster

Running [Energy Siphon] instead of [Rejuvenation] might make this build a bit more friendly for general solo use (Especially if you have a healing [Panzer Vulpaphyla]), but you would have used an Aura Forma. This change would make it so you wouldn't have to worry as much about having enough energy to cast Mass Vitrification to keep your damage stacks.
If you have a [Panzer Vulpaphyla] and don't want to bother with adding an Aura Forma, you might consider running [Physique] instead.
