Gara’s 3 with the augment shoots out energy orbs way better than the Archon mod which has a long cooldown for only a chance of an energy orb.

Gara’s 4 as a wall isn’t that bad, you just need to touch a few enemies with it to get its HP up. Combine that with her taunting 3 and 50% dmg red 2 that can also heal for insane amounts with another 2 augments as well as give every enemy damage vulnerability and you have a frame that defends while supporting offense, and it works on Corpus and Infested too instead of just Grineer.

While, yes, it’s probably not the most effective use of Gara, this second-rate Gara build is still better at defense than Frost. Frost is weak to melee Eximus, Gara isn’t because her 3 is a taunting ability.
