1) Garuda and Valkyr both rely on close/melee combat in order to self-heal. (Active vs. Passive).

2) Garuda and Valkyr both utilize leap abilities to close distances. (Innate vs. Augment).

3) Garuda and Valkyr are both tank frames apart from abilities. (≥300 base armor)

4) Garuda and Valkyr's main weapons are both claws. (Innate vs. Exalted).

5) Garuda and Valkyr both have skills intended to support melee survivability. (DM vs. Warcry).

Clearly Garuda is DE's reimagining of Valkyr. They may not be 100% identical, but they were designed with the same inspiration and cues. At the very least, they are thematically one warframe. However, the rework of Garuda's 4th definitely helps to distinguish her as more of a caster than tank.
