With the addition of the Molt arcanes you can do some fun nonsense with Garuda.

Since we've reduced the efficiency of our abilities, Molt Reconstruct is a full-heal on every cast of your 4, and since your 3rd ability trades health for energy, you have infinite of both.

Even with the shield gating changes because we're using [Brief Respite] primarily with our 4th ability, which is essentially free due to the previous, we fully replenish our 370 shields every cast.

Also because of this healing interaction, we don't need blood altar anymore & it can be replaced by an empowering abiltiy. Roar is a direct damage boost, [Xata]'s Whisper is a damge boost + additional statuses for conditional mods, Terrify is an AoE armor strip, Breach Surge is an AoE damage boost, Sentient Wrath is another AoE damage boost & CC, Tharros Strike is a targeted full defense strip.

Archon Shards

Recommended/ What I Use:

• 2x Amber Archon Shards: +25% casting speed --- This makes Garuda significantly faster to play & near-required, or slot in Natural Talent in the above build
• 2x Azure Archon Shards: +50 energy max -- Makes it so we don't need to mod in energy
