I'll start off on this beat: I don't like Conclave. I find the combat spazzy and unsatisfying.
However, I'd like to own the Conclave skins someday, so I think it's a good idea for all the Banshee users to discuss how we can earn those Conclave points.
Let's take a look at how her powers work in Conclave:
Sonic Boom: Deals 40 damage with a range of 10m and slows by 60% for about a second.
Sonar: Creates weakspots on enemies in the range of 30m for 20s.
Silence: Nullifies any opponents' ability within the range of 20m for 20s.
Sonic Boom is useful, if only for the instant 40 damage that may finish off a wounded opponent. The large surface area of the ability helps you actually hit those jackrabbiting Tenno.
Sonar is great for stealthing behind enemies and nailing them on the weakspot...assuming they stand still. Which they don't. I don't know if they can see you on the map too, I've asked but no one ever talks in there unless it's to talk smack.
Silence in theory seems badass. You're a Nullifier, sweet right? No more effing Rhino/Valk/Trinity invincibility bullS#&$. Well, I guess, but they either run away or shoot you in the face while casting lol. Let's explore that though, how about if Silence still lets opponents cast abilities, but they're nullified so they don't have any effect? This way they cast the ability and are temporarily locked into the animation as usual, so we can take advantage and shoot them at that point. Tricksy Banshee!
Sound Quake...meh. Never found a use for it. The current spazzy way people play in Conclave makes this completely useless. I guess it's good for rooting-out campers since you're essentially hitting them through the wall. Does SQ still damage opponents if they're in midair? How about if they're wall-running? Maybe there's a Sapping Osprey-esque strategy in there somewhere.
