Sonic Fracture Banshee — cone armor strip, Silence lockdown, Sonar for the kill window. Built to keep armored tiles honest for the squad. Banshee Prime’s extra polarities cut Forma versus base Banshee for the same polarity story.

Arsenal

Playstyle

Sonic Fracture strips, Silence locks eximus / acolytes, Sonar paints the kill. Squad-friendly armor control with silent guns.

Passive abilities

All of Banshee’s weapons are silent. Pair that with Silence’s hearing shutoff for quiet routes, or lean on Sonar weak spots so the squad’s guns delete Steel Path packs.

Active abilities

  • 1 Sonic Boom — Cone ragdoll. Sonic Fracture adds armor strip when you keep the ability.
  • 2 Sonar — Paints huge damage multipliers on body parts. Resonance spreads leftover sonar on kill. Rarely subsumed.
  • 3 Silence — Stun aura + special-ability lockdown. Savage Silence amps finishers if you melee.
  • 4 Sound Quake — Channeled quake, or Resonating Quake single shockwave nuke. Common Helminth slot on gun builds.
  • Augment: Sonic Fracture on Sonic Boom. Helminth flex over Sound Quake.

Mod breakdown

Mission Usefulness

  • Steel Path Survival / Defense / Disruption

    Excellent

    Sonic Fracture keeps armor honest; Silence locks threats; Sonar paints the kill for the squad.

  • Mobile Defense / Excavation

    Excellent

    Strip and Silence on the point — squad guns finish excavators cleanly.

  • Exterminate / Capture Speed Runs

    Strong

    Fast if the squad shoots Sonar spots after Fracture; not a solo tile wipe.

  • Spy / Rescue / Nightmare

    Strong

    Silent weapons + Silence for quiet vaults and rescues.

  • Open World / Bounties

    Strong

    Strip camps for the squad; travel stretches are fine with silent guns.

  • Long-Range Gunplay / Eidolon-Style Content

    Situational

    Sonar helps gun DPS at range, but Fracture cones and Silence auras want closer packs.
