Zephyr or Banshee?

[mosaickle]

I only have one slot left and they're both basically free from the dojo anyway, which should I try first?

I know if I don't like them I can just sell them and try the other which is probably gonna happen but I'm wondering, how do they stack up?

Banshee then Zephyr, because you can always get Banshee prime if you like banshee

[BansheePrime]

Zephyr has higher survivability then banshee with CC and a lovely wind shield that deflects all projectiles.

Banshee... is a glass cannon. Sonar puts marks an enemies that allow your weapons to deal 500% damage or more. Her 1 can knock down enemies but you're honestly more likely to die while in the cast animation. Silence is a light CC that applies and short stun and silences stuff. With savage silence (silence aug) all finisher damage is multiplied by 300% on affected targets. Works great with melee and synergises really well with other frames who deal finisher damage.

Pretty much pick Banshee if you want to kill everything you see with anything you've got. Or pick Zephyr if you wanna wander around with tornadoes everywhere that knock enemies up and a wind shield.

I ..don't want to be a d@ck...but banshee. Zephyr is exactly the greatest. Still get it as she is alright to mess around with, but banshee is better....

 

note I'm not a banshee user so don't think I'm just defending banshee because I prefer her or anything.

Overall Banshee gives a better player experience, it may be fragil, but her powers are always welcome in any squad for the reasons stated above.

Zephyr is not bad, but it ain't exactly the best either, her first and second abilities are pretty much the same, and her only decent augment mod is for her 3rd ability (which is amazing against corpus and grineer, but basically useless against infested).

Banshee with her augment mod, so you can go around dealing millions of excessive overkill damage to everything.
