The Eidolon slayer, glass warrior, walking maelstrom of death - Gara!
Passive: When casting an ability, Gara’s glass body has 15% chance to Blind enemies within 12 meters for 10 seconds, exposing them to Melee Finisher attacks. Blind chance increases by 20% until the blind triggers.
Shattered Lash - Lash out with stream of shattered glass, or hold for an arcing strike.
Splinter Storm - Gara’s armor splinters into a maelstrom of shattered glass that slices enemies and impairs their weapons. Allies who contact the cloud are fortified against damage.
Spectrorage - Trap enemies in a carousel of mirrors, forcing them to attack visions of their true selves. Destroyed mirrors damage their attackers, as does the collapse of the carousel.
Mass Vitrify - Create an expanding ring of molten glass that slowly crystallizes enemies who enter. When the expansion is complete, the ring hardens to block weapons fire. The ring draws extra strength from the health and shields of crystallized enemies. Use Shattered Lash to smash the ring and send razor-sharp glass flying outward.
Acquisition: Main blueprint is awarded upon completion of the Saya’s Vigil quest. Component blueprints are acquired from Plains of Eidolon Bounties.
I’m bummed the 4 to 1 combo with growing splinter storm is kinda gone. I really, really enjoyed it. I understand I can still do it but her 1 has been buffed so much it almost seems pointless.
I think she’s a very fun frame still with top tier fashion.
The thing is, while the end effect of getting to turn into a running ball of death was enjoyable, the actual gameplay loop of maintaining it had problems. There was no worse feeling than getting clipped by a nullifier bubble you didn’t see, or the dreaded long host migration that reset your damage. I kinda hope that DE recognizes that people want a frame that’s kinda like Path of Exile’s Righteous Fire and delivers on it someday, while also making it a lot less of a hassle than Gara’s.
