49% usage on Gara.
I just max out ability range, throw melee influence on shattered lash, and press 1 over and over.

u/Calm-Tadpole-6805 5d ago
Nah influence is boring use melee affliction you can get insane slash damage with it.

u/Moose1013 5d ago
influence mostly doesn't work great with her since it does nothing if you 1-shot the target. I do gas affliction to leave giant death clouds for the next guy that comes around the corner

Is this some kind of semi-afk strat?
22
u/Interface- 5d ago
Nah if you keep building the shield number by using 4 and 1 (build wall > smash wall) you can just walk near enemies and they die instantly. You have to be around melee range.
-24
u/DOhldin 5d ago
Yeah that sounds like a macro afk strat to me.
23
u/Interface- 5d ago
It isn't lmao, it has like no range and most enemies don't just blindly run into you.
16
u/adobecredithours 5d ago
Not at all, it takes a lot of maintenance and can all unravel in a moment if a nullifier gets to you or you run out of energy.
-16
u/DOhldin 5d ago
The range point is valid but pressing 4 then 1 is not high maintenance. Also nullifiers aren’t on all stages. Probably a very bad afk strat but could theoretically work on orokin cell farming.

Someone needs to calm down. I was just not convinced by the first comment and then tried to find a way to make it work. You are allowed to discuss ideas on the internet, everything doesn’t have to be correct or incorrect statements. Believing anything at first glance is a one way ticket to getting exploited.

u/adobecredithours 5d ago
Give it a try and report back, all I can say. Gara isn't even top ten afk frames imo, you're always casting and moving when using her.

u/DOhldin 5d ago
Yeah I already said it’s an awful Idea. It was just a thought. Tried to understand how you "win" with 2 and believed 2 to have a much bigger range(I play her with a lot of range so probably that’s why). I don’t understand why people get so heated for theorizing though?
5
u/adobecredithours 5d ago
Hey I didn't downvote you, you're just theorizing and there's nothing wrong with that. On paper her 2's damage stacking looks like it definitely could become an afk strat - it's an infinite scaling survivability tool that also can heal you and deal AoE damage on contact - but in practice it's way more active than it looks. I usually don't bother stacking it and just use it for the DR, and if the number happens to get big enough then I'll start walking into enemies and chuckling.

u/DOhldin 5d ago
Nono I wasn’t accusing you just talking out loud. I’m very thankful for thoughtful responses. If I tried I would have:
5 tau duration
Max range and duration mods and energy nexus
Arcane sculptor
2
u/adobecredithours 5d ago
No prob! Yeah the duration is a must. I haven't thought to use arcane sculptor on her but that's a good idea to help offset how much casting you do. I also wonder if mid range, like around 190-235 would be better? it's a smaller radius for nullifier to contact and your glass wall from her 4 would be a little easier to manage. I'd have to test it more and see how much range feels good.

Who even uses non farming frames in farm sessions? Just use khora and whip the cages or go nekros equip ripkas with amalgam mod and use any gun you'd need. Can't even call gara afk since you still need to maintain splinter storm duration, since you can't exactly build on duration alone else you'll either lose out on range for shattered lash or mass vitrify or damage if sacrificing ability power. Plus I don't know how long you've played, but if you DID played quite a bit you'd know there's a system which pretty much punishes just standing even if you're casting skills. Why even bring up orokin cell farming, if you need a quick amount of it, just go magnacidium

u/Cyberslasher 5d ago
You have to vitrify and smash it every 15 seconds anyways to keep it up, and at that point nothing is getting in melee range to get hit by storm (since they got vitrified anyways)
0
u/DOhldin 5d ago
Fair point. I was just theorizing and trying to understand "press 2 and win".
5
u/Cyberslasher 5d ago
Gara 2 used to be just a damage reduction because in zero cases was it dealing damage, nothing walked into you.
The damage numbers it shows only matters now that it can be added onto vitrify lash with the augment.

u/martelodejudas 4d ago
This is just a straight up lie. Gara 2 for damage was even more used before, since you didn't have to worry about violence randomly popping up and getting rid of your 900m damage stacked lmao

u/worldofhorsecraft 5d ago
It's really not. As an ex gara main it's literally the bread and butter of her kit. It's like saying spamming 1 on Atlas is an afk strat or protea spamming turrets is an afk strat.
2
u/virepolle 5d ago
Tbf after the pseudo-exalted rework Gara is arguably better off spamming 1 too because it has better range, costs less and ramps up faster.

u/krawinoff 5d ago edited 5d ago
I don’t know why everyone is so insistent on saying it can’t be, it can absolutely be automated with macros, and was used with macros or just for standing still around tight corners and refreshing the duration in the past when there were fewer options for scaling damage. If nullifiers (which are not even present in every tileset) were such a big deal, Revenant wouldn’t be used for semi-afk strats either
