Garuda is a wind-elemental summon in Final Fantasy Dimensions II who has three versions: two are available to Wrieg that teach him Gale and Jump, and a version is also available to Maina that teaches her the Barrage abilities. Wrieg's Garuda signets can only be obtained through doing specific sidequests and Maina joins the party with her version already equipped.
In the original free-to-play versions all three were obtained through the summon drawing shop and could be equipped by any party member.
Profile[]
All versions of the Garuda summon take elements from both her appearances in Final Fantasy XI and Final Fantasy XIV.
