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.
Gara’s already impressive nuking capabilities have been augmented even further with the Exalted melee changes! Her Shattered Lash is now a nuke itself, no longer needing to rely on her 1+4 combo to massacre crowds. All that on top of having a 90% DR with a stacking damage aura that she can share with her teammates! Very solid frame that, like Zephyr, is woefully underplayed for how powerful she is.
Always nice to find a bird fancier in the wild
I just saw wellplayedninjas’s video of her sweep Lash ignoring LoS checks, lol. Play her before the nerfs come!
