Welcome to our Garren Rood Build Guide for Soulframe. In this guide, we’ll explain how you can create a powerful Garren Rood build that deals high damage. The build is good for both solo and co-op play.

Garren Rood is one of the Pacts (classes) available in Soulframe. It focuses primarily on melee damage dealing and voltaic (lightning) spells, and is attuned with the Courage virtue.

Please note that this build guide is a Work in Progress. We will continue to update it as Soulframe evolves in the run-up to its full release.

Garren Rood Pact Overview

Garren Rood has an affinity with the Spirit virtue. This is the primary spellcasting class in Soulframe, and excels at dealing damage from range and using a variety of magical powers to hinder enemies.

Starting Arcanics

The Garren Rood starts with the following Arcanics:

Torment – Leech HP from enemies and restore it to your allies.
Behest – Blind and Immobilize enemies in an area, making them extremely vulnerable to your next attack.
Stampede – Call forth a stampede to stun and damage all enemies in the target area.

Garren Rood Idol

All Pacts have an Idol ability. This is a powerful effect that requires a certain amount of Idol Power to activate. Idol Power is generated by dealing damage with other attacks. Idols are akin to Ultimates in other RPGs.

The Garren Rood Idol summons the spirit of Garren to help you in combat. It increases your damage dealt, absorbs HP from enemies you damage and causes some enemies to cower, effectively stunning them and making them easier to hit. Once summoned, Garren cannot be manually unsummoned. He slowly drains your Idol Power over time. When you run out of Idol Power, Garren will be unsummoned.

The Garren Rood Pact has access to the following upgrades:

Herdheart – Healing yourself and your allies also restores Idol Power.
Irdis’ Favour – Improves your Spirit.
Saphene’s Gift – Improves your Grace.
Mora’s Pride – Improves your Courage.
