Banshee

"Using sonic attacks and acoustic target detection, BANSHEE is well suited for stealth gameplay and is capable of filling both attack, and supportive roles."

- In-game description.

Banshee is a sound based warframe released in update 7. While the Banshee has a less focused set of abilities than the Mag or the Ember it has the capacity to fulfill both roles in a limited capacity. It shines as a sniper Warframe with Snipetron or its signature Paris due to Sonar, which reinforces its role as a medium to long range 1v1 and boss fighter as a skilled Tenno can make use of its abilities to stay clear of the bulk of the fighting. It also shares the somewhat dubious position of stealth frame of choice besides the Loki, although the Banshee swaps some of its combat control for greater killing power.

Acquisition
The Banshee Warframe can be purchased for  225. The blueprint can be purchased for  35,000.

Component blueprints are offered as random completion rewards from Raid, Intel, Capture, and Endless Defense missions.

Cosmetics
Banshee can be equipped with a Reverb helmet.

Increases movement speed, and reduces max health. 



Ability Commentary
Although the Banshee excels for some players as a ranged warframe, it also performs excellently as a crowd control warframe using its abilities Sonic Boom and Sound Quake. These abilities are highly effective against Infested/Ancients, but work against the other two factions as well.

Draw in a wave of Infested/Ancients and then use Sound Quake to quickly dispatch them. Be aware that Corpus or Grineer tend to do less swarming. The stagger effect will also help team member deal with enemies more effectively.

Primary weapons: Gorgon or Hek/Strun Side Arm: Viper/Dual Vipers Melee: Fangs or Dual Ethers
