Garuda			4	4	3	3	1
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. Vahana, p3, and p4 provide additional Evasion, and can stack with other evasion passives like Evade to make him a dodge tank. Auto-Rakunda increases your team's damage output and synergizes well with his Turn 1 focus.
Cons	Does not have Speedster innately which in turn consumes a skill slot. Very low bulk. Weak to Ice.
Notes	More or less outclassed by Hresvelgr in PvP nowadays. Red gives him access to discounted Maragidyne, giving him a cheap T1 nuke. Yellow makes him more support-oriented with Fog Breath.
