Garuda (ガルダ) is a playable character in Anarchy Reigns. Technically speaking, Garuda is a dead man. After being killed in action, his severed head was smuggled by fellow mercenary Durga to a cybernetics hospital. There, Garuda's memories were hastily copied onto a memory chip. For better or worse, the dead man was resurrected, his consciousness transferred into a mass-produced Gargoyle robot. Garuda's combat abilities are essentially identical to other AI-controlled Gargoyles, save for a pair of drill equipped cybernetic arms customized for close-quarters combat.

Personality and Background

"Technically speaking, Garuda is a dead man. After being killed in action, his severed head was smuggled by fellow mercenary Durga to a cybernetics hospital. There, Garuda's memories were hastily copied onto a memory chip. For better or worse, the dead man was resurrected, his consciousness transferred into a mass-produced Gargoyle robot. Garuda's combat abilities are essentially identical to other, AI-controlled Gargoyles, save for a pair of dill-equipped cybernetic arms customized for close-quarters combat

However, he retains his human consciousness and memories and now fights alongside Durga, his saviour and one-time mercenary comrade-in-arms." - In game profile.

Attributes and Skills

Its KW-L attack is a three-hit combo at maximum, but one of Garuda's most strategic attacks is his KW-Lunge attack. Not only can it be charged while moving (use Camera Control to aim), it covers more ground than its KW-H attack.

Upon reaching dash speed, Garuda transforms into a jet that can be ridden by team mates to allow Garuda to fire a set of twin machine guns.

Garuda has a useful Grab ability that is also able to grab up to two characters at once, making him useful for crowd control.

Garuda is incredible statistically, but is cursed by a large hitbox leaving him very vulnerable to KW-H attacks. His dodge move travels along the floor in a jet assisted slide which is still open to attacks, and he suffers in maneuverability.
