This is a build I came up with for [Garuda Prime] (I know this says regular garuda but the prime hasn't been added yet. Just subtract 1 Madurai forma). This is a mainly melee-focused build that abuses a ridiculous combo on [Garuda] using [Sevagoth]'s gloom ability. We replace [Garuda]'s blood altar with gloom. With the range we have, this at max range gives us a 28m radius on gloom and with our high ability strength a 95% slow on gloom makes us basically unkillable.

The strat on this build is to have infinite energy using Garuda's bloodletting ability and regaining the lost hp easily with gloom. The slow grants us some much-needed survivability and just in case you do ever get hit with this build, you can use the shield gate mechanic to cast your seeking talons, giving you I-frames and because of [Augur Reach], gives us shields back, resetting our shield gate (this is also why we do not run [Rolling Guard]) and because of our power strength, we have a 100% bleed chance on our 4.

Now this build is just a template and can be changed around to your liking. If you play more with guns, I suggest replacing [Primed Continuity] with [Garuda]'s [Blood Forge] augment, letting you reload your gun instantly when casting your 3. If you want, you can also replace [Steel Charge] with [Combat Discipline] and replace arcane [Fury] with arcane avenger, but I don't have arcane avenger and it would require more formas. Arcane Arachne is the for ez damage increase as all you have to do is latch onto a wall every 30 seconds. [Power Drift] can also be slotted out for Primed surefooted if you have it but this will reduce the slow on gloom. Arcane energize and efficiency are not needed on this build since we have infinite energy using the bloodletting gloom combo.

I hope you enjoy this [Garuda] build guide and you have fun with [Garuda] since i think [Garuda] is one of the most underrated yet fun and op warframes in the game with this combo.
