Good Morning Everyone. Zodiark here once again with one of the most hilarious ways to kill a Raid Boss. Wanna know how I did it? Of course you do. Party was a White Knight Noel, but any well geared tank will do, a Ramza with full awakenings and SPR build, a random toon for exp grinding, and drum roll please...... Olive with 1434 attack, Bird Killer Passive, and full awakenings. No friend units were used to maximize the exp grinder. Here is how it played out. Round 1 Olive shoots up in the Air pre-combat.....WKN does Bring It On +2 (Provoke). Ramza does Hero's Rime +2 and is no longer mentioned in this guide. The random picks his nose, and Olive does Scattering Shot +2 to put up a 60% Lightning/DEF debuff. Garuda attacks killing the nose picking random leaving everyone alive. Round 2. Everyone defends. Rime heals everyone. Garuda attacks again. No luck. Round 3....WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!!! Mortar Beacon +2 Hits for 5 million plus damage. Fight over. So as you can see folks, very easy raid. Challenging the community to come up with crazier ways to kill her. I'll be back next week when the REAL fight begins.
She has several different attacks and she attacks 3-4 times a turn. Most are single target. At least one of which has a strong chance of inflicting paralysis, so make sure your tank is immune. The tank (Wilhelm for me) will soak up the damage very easily, just try to keep an attack break on her. The AoE damage is minimal so long at the break is on her but when it is up she regularly can land 2k aoe hits. Beyond a provoke tank and Buffer/debuffer, bring DPS with good synergy, she has no innate weaknesses or resistances so you have some flexibility. I did not need a healer beyond Roy, so stronger teams won't need that much, weaker teams may need a support healer. She is avian so try to have units with bird? killers.
Downburst – AoE attack, Plumage – seems to be a multi turn attack, Slipstream – ST attack, Friction – ST attack, Foil
My team Wilhelm (6.8k hp, 470 def) Roy (5k hp, 340 spr) Prompto (460 attack) Lara croft (340 attack) Veritas of light (350 attack, 420 mag) Friend unit (550-650 attack)

Marie Anti-Element, Basch Ruin Impendent, Roy Angel's Whim, Two fully Awakened Tidus with perfect elemental chain (+1k Atk) will do around 22 million, OTKO this boss (I cannot imagine what damage would it be if it were not an elemental, but spark chain). Happy farming.

Hello and welcome back to the BluEvanescent. What's this? Another problem on how to defeat Garuda -no, not the FF3 version- on FF14? Well, no worries 'cause I got your back. Now, listen. Chainers are the only solution on how you gonna deal this problem. The best chainers should come on 3, 4 or 5 - 6 Stars since they're hits are the only thing you need to understand.
The team I mostly have were: 2 Lotus Mage Fina with Sacred Burst, Noctis with 950 ATK points, Fryevia with 1034 MAG points and one-handed and Veritas of the Light with 634 ATK Points with the addition to Orlandeau with 1107 ATK.
If you are starter, the best one should be: 3 Edgar with Chainsaw and 2 Shantoto with higher MAG points.
NOTE TO PLAYER: For Sacred Burst chain, wait 'til the final streak of light gather and then simultaneously press all characters to chain.
And that's it. Before I close this note, I want you to know that I'm typing on a Puffin Browser mobile with Keyboard. Unnecessary but with a bit of assy on me.

Newcomer to Gamepedia SonicANIME2016 here, and I found a rather humorous way of beating Garuda. And I kid you not on how this happened. I took a all-female party of Kunshira, Mystea, EXAileen, BS Sakura, LM Fina and Support Loren.. I chained my way to victory, relying on full break and lightning imperils from Kunshira and Sakura's final thunder.. That is the normal way. However, I did find an absolutely hilarious alternative that, while you shouldn't RELY on.. it still happened. LM Fina's counter, Sexy Pose has a low chance to inflict charm on a enemy, provided they aren't immune.. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/303660708573216770/437236626221957120/FFEXVIUS_2018-04-21-06-57-47.png
Apparently Garuda is not immune!

Turn 2 kill w/ x2 TT :)
- See SonicAnime, that's what I'm talking about. Very outside the box, good work. -Zodiark
- Outside the box? That just made me think of using Elfreeda as a counter-attacker. I've been grinding up her TMR you see. So I just stuck a bit of mid-range ATK gear on her & stuck her into my RAID team, and went on the defensive, but Agrias kept jumping in front & taking hits for her, which unfortunately did not help her to proc her Ice Prism counter... might need more experimentation... -Shakers
