Garuda

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.

Role in the Game
Garuda is encountered on the White Side of the campaign along with Durga. He supports his fellow mercenary until the very end.

Attributes and Skills
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.

In Gameplay, Garuda serves best as crowd control and its Killer Weapon-Lunge attack is very useful (especially in comparison to its other Killer Weapon attacks). Garuda has a 3 hit combo attack for his KW-L (Killer Weapon-Light), a KW-Lunge that does decent damage covering plenty of ground and a KW-H that is strong but doesn't quite cover the distance the lunge does.

Garuda is good for crowd control due to his grab attack. The attck will get ahold of 2 characters at once. Also, when Garuda reaches dashing speed he can turn into a jet that can carry teammates and also has a set of twin machine guns.

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.
