(Where it sits)

Garuda has no extreme in its base stats — every one of them sits in the middle of the roster, so what it does comes from its abilities rather than its numbers.

It ships with 2 polarities already installed, plus Madurai on the aura slot, so that much of the board costs no forma.

(Loadout facts)

Pre-installed polarities: NaramonVazarin
Aura slot: Madurai
Helminth can subsume: Blood Altar
Progenitor element: Radiation
Role: Damage
Introduced: 24

(Passive)

Garuda's damage temporarily increases with each enemy she kills, to a maximum of _%. Slashes with her talons if no melee weapon is equipped.
