Role Summary

Name	Best Archetype(s)		PVE	PVP
	PVE	PVP		Offense	Defense
Garuda			B	D	D	-
Pros	One of the fastest and most flexible demons in the game. With Speedster transferred, he can help your team hit various PvE battle speed requirements, while fulfilling either a support or additional DPS role depending on his build. P3 increases his speed even further. Vahana, p3, and p4 provide additional Evasion, and can stack with other evasion passives like Evade to make him a dodge tank. Vahana and p4 sum to -100% chance of receiving ailments. Auto-Rakunda increases your team's damage output and synergizes well with his Turn 1 focus.
Cons	No innate Force Pierce until Panel 4. No Fire Pierce at all. Does not have Speedster innately which in turn consumes a skill slot. Very low bulk. Weak to Ice. Modern attackers like Odin A and Lost Name either gain tons of accuracy through Gloom and Zenith, or tons of innate accuracy, making evasion tanks far less useful than they used to be, especially when Garuda has no real other benefits on a team. More or less outclassed by Hresvelgr and Kartikeya as fusible speedbots in PvP nowadays.

PvE Builds

Archetype(s)

• Red: Discounted Maragidyne for a strong Fire AOE, great for getting 1/2 press turns by hitting weakness.

Skill Transfers

Super flexible demon and many skills can be given to fit certain situations. Ranging from support to passives to attacks.

Passive Skills:

• Speedster/Epitome of Swiftness: Boosts team speed further.
• Agility Amp I/II/III: Early game/budget option.
• Evade/Dodge: Boosts his evasion higher. Great for Phys oriented bosses or kiwamis.
• Elemental Boosts/Amps/Enhancements/Survivors: Great when using a more offensive build

Attacking Skills:

• Agilao/Bufula/Zionga/Hamaon/Mudoon: Cheap ST elemental skills. Perfect for attacking weakness to gain 1/2 Press Turns. You can use the L variants for an even cheaper MP cost. AOE variants can also be used.

Build(s)

While not as fast as Hresvelgr or Kartikeya, Garuda is a lot cheaper to fuse, and is very flexible to use - his build can be easily adjusted to fit any situation. Great as an early game speedster that can fulfil many roles.

Democalypse Prelim - Manual Buffer
	Transferred Skills		Notes: Versatile build for manual buffing in Democalypse Prelim. Mazionga can be replaced with an AoE spell matching the prelim element (note that Red already has Maragidyne for Fire, meaning Red could cover two elements). Make sure that AI tendency is set to Support. Life Brands help influence his AI to buff, while Trail helps him to go second in his team for optimal press turn usage. Check the Manual Buffing guide to make sure his magic attack doesn't get too high, though.
