Nulla. Introduction:
My take on the popular Breach Surge [Garuda], defaulted to be optimised to my playstyle without Archon Shards.
Configuration above is the standard build, optimized without archon shards, check below for alternative build versions.
I. Unlisted Recommendations:
•
II. Core Gameplay:
Main Playstyle:
•
Rotation:
1. Cast Bloodletting for energy (3).
2. Cast Dread Mirror (1) on an enemy to gain a front-facing shield as well as knockdown resistance.
3. Cast Breach Surge (2) over a populated group of enemies or for crowd control.
4. Cast Seeking [Talons] (4) to trigger sparks from Breach Surge.
5. Hold down Dread Mirror to nuke every now and then after the cast of Breach Surge (optional).
6. Repeat rotations 1-6. if low on energy, 2-6. for regular rotations.
Survivability:
•
Energy Economy:
•
III. Modding Analysis:
Aura:
• [Brief Respite]:
Exilus:
• [Primed Sure Footed]:
Main Mods:
• [Rolling Guard]:
Grants a brief period of invulnerability and removes all Status Effects when rolling, with a cooldown period between uses.
•
IV. Focus & Arcanes:
Arcanes:
• Molt Reconstruct:
• Molt Augmented:
Needed to assist [Blind Rage] in hitting the minimum amount of ability str. needed to be able to fully strip with Terrify (167%).
Focus:
• No particular synergies. Focus choice is up to you.
V. Archon Shards:
Amber Shards:
• 1-3 +25% Casting Speed (1-3 +37.5% Tau): Arguably the most important shard you can slot onto [Garuda], this allows for the free up of Natural Talent completely, making room for Augur Reach for max range.
Azure Shards:
• 1-3 +50 Energy Max (1-2 +75% Tau): Allows for the removal of Primed Flow, highly optional.
Recommended Non-Tau:
• 3-4 Amber (3-4 Casting Speed), Free Shard Slot/s.
Remove: Natural Talent.
Substitute: Augur Reach.
Recommended Tau:
• 3-4 Amber (3-4 Casting Speed), Free Slot/s.
Remove: [Natural Talent].
Substitute: [Augur Reach].
VI. Final Notes:
Breach Surge:
• Breach Surge is able to blind through the overguard of Eximus enemies and will cause their behavior to walk forward without attacking the player.
• Breach Surge is LoS reliant (Line of Sight).
VII. Logs (dd.mm.yyyy):
