She is more of a long game frame and anything Start Chart she is over kill for. Her 4 is amazing. It's a huge range that will bleed anything in front of her and will even hit enemies behind cover. From there you can nuke a spot with a stored up Dread Mirror Ball, or you could just shoot the room with an Arca Plasmor. With enough Power Strength, any hit on an enemy will instant proc Slash status and Slash Status tics are based off the weapon attack you initiate the proc with. So if your Arca Plasmor hits like a truck, you can drop Hunter Munitions from the build and just press 4. I have seen 14k Slash procs clear a rooms in seconds. Mind you, you're comparing Garuda to Volt and Volt is one of the best AoE Nuke frames in the game after his recent buff. He's only slightly behind Equinox and Saryn and both of them require a build up that Volt doesn't.

The casting speed mods really help speed up her game play. You don't have to use her to just debuff a room with armor bypassing damage. You could play her like rush down. Warp to a enemiy with her one, gain a shield, and Tigris Prime the mob you just jumped into. Anchor a health spike to a heavy gunner and you can literally face tank 100 enemies. My build gives me 52% health per second. That is pretty insane. Imagine an Inaros or a Nidus healing half their health a second because they are standing near one of your (up to) 3 healing spikes. Oberon's healing is good but it only provides a flat value, not a percentage. My Oberon gives 85.6 health a second. That is nothing compared to 52% health a second. Only thing beating that raw heal is Trinity. Plus Garuda can literally put three heavy units out of the fight and make them heal stations.

Basically she provides some minor CC to the team along with a huge enemy debuff and great healing if you mod for it. She okay in a exterminate team but she really performs well in Defense, Interception, and Survival; any mission where you're not always going to be on the move. Casting speed does help her feel much faster and she literally has the most damaging 1st ability in the game. There is nothing garbage about a 4 that garuntees slash procs when you have 200% strength. It's Hunter's Munitions at a button press. But no, she's not amazing at low level content. There are plenty of low tier Warframes that shine at star chart stuff. Garuda's kit is suited for taking down and lasting against level 110 enemies and higher.
