Garuda is a vampire-themed Warframe that impales enemies and draws power from blood-siphoning abilities. If you enjoy melee Warframes, we strongly recommend trying her out as she benefits greatly from melee augments and aggressive melee status builds. She is a versatile Warframe and performs particularly well in solo content.

What Are Garuda’s Abilities?
Garuda’s abilities synergize well with each other. Here is a quick rundown of her four abilities:
Dread Mirror (Ability 1): Garuda pierces enemies with her talons to create a blood shield. The more damage she deals with, the more powerful her shield becomes. You can hold down the ability button when you have an active shield to explode it and deal massive damage.
Blood Altar (Ability 2): Garuda creates an altar near her that boosts healing from all sources. Nearby enemies are impaired, making them easy to kill. If you destroy the altar, you receive a burst of healing.
Bloodletting (Ability 3): You can convert a part of your health to energy. This allows you to cast your other abilities in quick succession without worrying about any energy issues.
Seeking Talons (Ability 4): This ability is Garuda’s main source of damage, and you should use it as much as possible. Garuda releases talons that seek out enemies. The talons can apply the Bleed status and reduce armor. The more enemies you hit with your Seeking Talons, the higher your healing and damage output becomes.
How To Get Garuda Prime?

Conclusion
Garuda is a great Warframe for solo players. She is very hard to kill, and her abilities grant you tons of healing and damage bonuses. If you love using melee builds, she is a fantastic frame for endgame content.
