Midas Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 What is a Banshee? Hello! Just wanted to talk about a warframe that is overlooked by far. Not many know the secrets that this frame holds. It has the power to increase someones damage to over 1400% and silence all enemies, further slowing down damage done to the squad! Banshee can also allow you to last for 70+ waves in T4 Defense, Do to the fact that she does over 1m damage with her Sonar (Can hit atleast 500k :/). That seems a bit overpowered! False, Banshee has extremely low shields and armor, she will get destroyed very fast. It requires skill of the usage of 3 and 2 simultaneously resulting in everyone smacking one another except banshee. Please post thoughts on banshee below, do you like her or no?

Morgax Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) I'll be honest i don't like her skills that much, first skill is somewhat useful when entering room full of napalms as a OH SNAP button. Silence is pointless 99% of the time, ultimate it is decent crowd control mechanic but subpar to many other. She is a one trick pony to me, hence why i don't really use her.

Morgax Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) Then you shall find out the hard way sir ;) The 2 is the secret ;) Brief stun and melee crit boost? Haven't seen single time combo with excalibur either. Edited March 15, 2015 by Morgax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)CryZolian-13 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 First off- Omg a new thread talking about Banshee in a good light <(^-^)> Second, I fluping love Banshee she's so odd and yet amazing not to mention she's my main so the inate bias is real. Also the power of the 2,3 combo is yet to be understood by some :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinKenshin Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I just love her because of her helmet and name....didn't get her yet but when I do I'm sure she'll be a lot of fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)CryZolian-13 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 If your getting Banshee soon might I recommend Resonance it further enhances Banshee's amazing-ness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrhal Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 In my experience, Banshee can be really @(*()$ useful. I also played with Banshee some time but when a Banshee player entered our T2 survival we easily made it to 50 minutes and above just because we smacked the S#&$ out of them corrupted. Banshee is widely overlooked. But still, my favourite will always be Mirage. I just love her too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chroia Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) Love Banshee. Her personal survivability 'oh shi~!' button is Silence which staggers everyone in the area, but only triggers once per cast; so it clashes with building for a long Sonar, which is unfortunate. IMO: - Build for Range, Strength, duration and Efficiency + Resonance if you have a reliable squad. Drop a Sonar, then Sound Quake and let your team kill stuff. - Build for Range, short duration, Strength and Efficiency if you're solo or have unreliable teammates/PUG. Sonar lets you take out heavies and recasting Silence keeps you alive as needed. Edited March 15, 2015 by Chroia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drunkpunk222 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I want banshee always in my team, best of the best, best damage boost + other tools, also everyone who hit sonar spots with skills have damage boost, im using sonar + augument mod resilence, without this augument mod banshee not that good, so sonar then silence then soundquake, u and ur team will get alot silent kill bonus damage from mobs who not see u, played hours in ods till bored, dealing millions of damage each shot, with energy vampire trinity u can ulti almost nonstop, any frame that far dying one shot no matter how much defense or hp u have, with sound quake u can hold enemies when someone down also, every banshee skill is good.

Bawalbaba Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) Morgax, you have extremely bad teammates or clannies if someone can't time Excal RadJav with a Silence+Sonar combo.Like no offense, but really, they literally fail to notice a Buffer trying to make a mission easier. They're bad. Edited March 15, 2015 by Bawalbaba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgax Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Morgax, you have extremely bad teammates or clannies if someone can't time Excal RadJav with a Silence+Sonar combo. It is called random group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bawalbaba Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 It is called random group. I said teammates too, didn't I ? I've had MR3-4s play on Saturn who didn't complain when I banished them to save them from 5 Bombard stunlocks whereas MR15s raged about being banished and not being banished too.

yles9056 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) Sonar is never OP as it requires shooting at the weakspot. This skill has to be rewarding. Even with Resonance mod, Sonar is still a very balance skill. Edited March 15, 2015 by yles9056 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EchoesOfRain Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Banshee main here. Dunno why rarely anyone plays Banshee for fun. She can contribute so much to a team, in terms of CC and HUGE damage amp. She's amazing all the way through end game too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Mousthachington Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I would say, that Banshee is deffinetly an effective utility frame, but i myself don't find her that fun. I just don't feel any satisfaction from using her. Yeah, i help a lot, but what's the point if i'm bored as hell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceninjaaaa Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I don't think she's overlooked at all. Many players use her for sonar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealPandemonium Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Don't worry, thanks to Reddit and loot caves everyone now knows that Banshee wasn't actually garbage after all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePresident777 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) Runs slow. Doesn't blow stuff up. Press 4 to AFK. I prefer something more mobile and explosive. I have better options for my tastes so I choose those and forget the rest for the most part. Edited March 15, 2015 by ThePresident777 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noble_Cactus Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) I feel like such a hipster when I say that I was using Silence combined with Sonar months before it became flavor of the month, and that it's not really that hard of a combination to think of. But what's done can't be undone. I can see why a lot of people find her boring. None of her skills provide the immediate short-term effect of stunning or killing a bunch of enemies on button rpess. Her stun is an aura, her damage amp requires aim, her other disables either knocks things down or requires her to sit in place. Which is the one aspect I don't like about her. Sound Quake camping is zzz. Edited March 15, 2015 by Noble_Cactus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epicagemo Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Banshee is hilariously effective. It's how I got 1k kills in escalation lol. Ain't no Raid mob going to stop us. She requires a ton of coordination to pull off those results. Let's keep Banshee's OPness a secret :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)JiggaJazz Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) IMO one of the best frames in the game. Sound Quake is one of the most op skills in the game in addition to having arguably the best 1 in terms of cc. Then there's the godly sonar which allows her to make endless void easy. Hell even silence stuns nearby enemies and silences you. Everything Banshee has is amazing and is a god-tier support frame that is only shared by Trinity imo Edited March 16, 2015 by (PS4)JiggaJazz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
