Garuda embodies destructive blood magic, manipulating the life essence of her enemies in brutal ways that turn every encounter into a spectacle of violence.
She thrives on aggression and sustain, tearing vitality from foes, weaponizing their blood, and using that power to strengthen herself or support nearby allies.
Wherever Garuda roams, devastation follows quickly, as her abilities turn the battlefield into a relentless cycle of carnage, survival, and overwhelming offensive pressure.

As Garuda ranks up, she will receive rank bonuses that add to her Energy Capacity, providing her with a 125% increase at Rank 30.
1) Dread Mirror
Gara rips the life force out of an enemy and uses it as a shield that captures damage, which severely weakens enemies in the process.

Stat | Value | Affected By |
Drain | 100 Energy | Ability Efficiency |
