Garuda Prime · The kit
Spend health, print energy, mark the room
Garuda is a health caster. Bloodletting (3) is the battery — never Helminth it. Seeking Talons is the 2026 room. Altar refunds the health you spent. Dread Mirror is a shield you often replace with Gloom or Nourish.

Blood Feud
Each kill temporarily raises Garuda's damage, stacking to a cap. If no melee is equipped she fights with her talons. The damage stacking is free — keep killing. The talons are a backup, not a reason to skip a real melee forever.
Dread Mirror
25Yank life from a target into a facing shield that absorbs damage. Weak enemies can die on the yank. Hold 1 to hurl the stored damage as a projectile. Dread Ward (augment) grants invulnerability after an instant-kill yank. Common Helminth slot once Gloom or Nourish is online — the shield is honest, the rest of the kit is better.

Blood Altar
50Pin a victim on a talon altar. Anyone in range leeches health. Multiple Altars can exist. Duration is the drip. Strength is the heal. Blood Forge reloads your weapons when you cast it, paid in health. Do not Altar a target that dies instantly — you wasted the tether.
