Talk:Banshee (Warframe)/@comment-10030158-20130525235457/@comment-70.94.21.27-20130526204253

Banshee is for those who wish to be a bit sneakier, and has (apparently) only one useless ability, Silence, which dulls the perception of one unalerted enemy so you can remove the rest. Really, once you get detected, Silence won't matter at all. Sonar reveals weak spots to all on the team, making it very useful to take down bosses and heavy enemies.

Mag is for those with a hankering for 1v1. Her skills (except the ultimate) are about taking out a single enemy at a time, with 1 useless skill. Pull swings in one enemy for a quick melee finish. the Useless Skill is Shield Polarize. I mean really, when are you going to stop and use energy to restore a friends shields, when they most likely have a high recharge rate? the other 1v1 skill is Bullet Attractor. you place is on 1 enemy, and it redirects all bullets to them.

both ultimates are BA, dealing heavy damage to all around them. However, Crush has a base of 1000, whereas Sound Quake has 1050 at it's highest.

In the end, it comes down to roles. Banshee is a caster, who forgoes high health and armor for energy and casting ability. Mag is a front-line fighter, and is quite tanky for a female frame. she can take more damage than quite a few of the other femframes, the only higher being Saryn.

So really, it comes down to: silent caster, or 1v1 tank-ish front-liner?
