Role Summary

Name Best Archetype(s) PVE PVP Democalypse
PVE PVP Offense Defense Prelim Boss
Garuda.jpg Garuda
 Yellow Red Purple Red Purple 4 2 2 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.
  • 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 Chi You 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.
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, and synergizes with evasion builds.
  • His panels increase Force damage, but not Fire damage (aside from Panel 2's +100 MATK).

PvE Builds

Archetype(s)

  • Red: Discounted Maragidyne for a strong Fire AOE, great for getting 1/2 press turns by hitting weakness.
  • Yellow: Discounted Fog Breath for buff control.
  • Purple: Berserker for more damage.

Skill Transfers

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

Support Skills:

  • Blood Rush/War Dance/Nocturne/War Cry/Acid Breath/Offensive Cry/Defensive Cry/Agile Cry: Any one of these can be given. Provides buff control, great for boss fights and kiwamis.
  • -Kaja skills: Early game/budget option.

Passive Skills:

  • Speedster/Epitome of Swiftness: Boosts team speed further.
  • Agility Amp 1/2/3: 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.
  • Megido/Megidola: Cheap Almighty AOE.

Brands

  • Stat priorities: Speed%
  • Spell: Boosts his damage.
  • Life: Boosts his bulk.
  • Speed: Boosts team speed even further.
  • Dodge: Boosts his evasion.
  • Ward protects him from ailments for 3 turns.


Mitama

  1. MAG (20/10): Boosts his damage output.
  2. AGI (20): To boost team speed and Evasion.
  3. VIT (10/20): Increases his bulk.

Build(s)

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