Support Banshee — Silence lockdown, Sonar weak spots for the squad, and a Helminth damage buff. You multiply the team’s guns more than you nuke yourself. Banshee Prime’s extra polarities cut Forma versus base Banshee for the same polarity story.

Arsenal

Playstyle

Support / buffer Banshee — Silence lockdown, Sonar for the squad, Helminth damage buff. You are the force multiplier, not the nuke.

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.
  • Helminth over Sound Quake (Roar / Eclipse / Bright Bonnet). Optional Savage Silence.

Mod breakdown

Duration / Strength

Duration for Silence / Sonar / buff uptime. Strength for Sonar and the Helminth.

Range

Silence aura and Sonar coverage — keep at least comfortable tile range.

Helminth

Roar is the generalist. Bright Bonnet for Strength/energy comfort. Eclipse if the squad parks on a point.

Mission Usefulness

  • Steel Path Survival / Defense / Disruption

    Excellent

    Spam Sonar, Silence threats, shoot the glowing spots — the core gun-amp loop.

  • Mobile Defense / Excavation

    Excellent

    Sonar the point, Silence eximus, let guns delete.

  • Exterminate / Capture Speed Runs

    Strong

    Quick when Sonar is painted; slightly more setup than a raw Incarnon frame.

  • Spy / Rescue / Nightmare

    Strong

    Passive silence plus Silence aura for quiet objectives.

  • Open World / Bounties

    Situational

    Works on camps; fragile on open travel without Rolling Guard / shade comfort.

  • Long-Range Gunplay / Eidolon-Style Content

    Situational

    Sonar multiplies long-range guns, but Banshee is still fragile and not an Amp hunt frame.
