Arsenal

Playstyle

Keep Silence up, paint Sonar until enemies glow, then shoot weak spots. Resonance spreads leftover sonar on kills. Helminth over Sound Quake for Roar / Nourish / Bright Bonnet.

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 / Nourish / Bright Bonnet. Resonance on Sonar.

Mod breakdown

Duration / Range

Duration keeps Sonar and Silence online. Range widens both — dump Strength only if your guns already overkill.

Strength / Efficiency

Strength scales Sonar multipliers and Silence. Efficiency helps Sonar spam.

Aura / Exilus

Archon shards

  • Duration — Sonar / Silence
  • Casting Speed — paint faster
  • Strength — bigger weak spots

Helminth

Replace Sound Quake. Roar double-dips some gun setups; Nourish covers Viral + energy; Bright Bonnet is a modern Strength/energy comfort pick.

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.
