Trivia
- The name Banshee comes from the Irish mythological creature which wails loudly if someone is about to die. This corresponds to the Warframe's powers as she is based on sound.
- Banshee was originally developed under the name Decree and is still referred to as as such internally in the game files.
- The characteristic large spike on Banshee's left shoulder is considered a customizable Armor part, and will be removed if any other arm plates are used. This makes it possible to make a symmetrical Banshee.
“Market forces dictate that you need to evolve or die.”
Banshee Prime is Vaulted.
The Void Relics for this item have been removed from the drop tables and do not drop during gameplay at this time. Vaulted Void Relics already contained in player inventories are not affected and can still be either opened or traded between players.
Release date: February 28th, 2017
Banshee Prime is the Primed variant of 
Banshee, possessing higher armor, energy capacity, and sprint speed, as well as an additional 
polarity. Banshee Prime was released alongside

Vaultings
- On December 7th, 2018, it was announced that Banshee Prime,
Euphona Prime, and Helios Prime would enter the Prime Vault and be retired from the reward tables on December 18th, 2018. Any preexisting components or fully-built frames will remain as-is.
Notes
- Banshee Prime, compared to Banshee:
- Higher Armor (125 vs. 100)
- Higher Energy (175/262 vs. 150/225)
- Higher Sprint Speed (1.15 vs. 1.1)
- Different Polarities ( vs. )
- Higher Mastery Rank required (8 vs. 0)
- As a Prime Warframe, Banshee Prime possesses a special passive ability where contact with an Orokin Void Death Orb will make them release an energy pulse that grants 250 Energy to all nearby allies. This effect can only occur once per Death Orb, and can occur even if the Death Orb has been previously destroyed.
- Banshee Prime, along with Loki Prime, Nova Prime, Oberon Prime and Ivara, has the second highest amount of energy (175 base, with 262.5 at max rank), with Chroma Prime, Volt Prime, Saryn Prime, Ivara Prime, Baruuk, and Wisp having the highest (200 base, with 300 at max rank).
- This can be increased to 525 with a maxed Flow, 743.8 (rounded) with Primed Flow, 770 with Primed Flow and Endurance Drift.
- This can be increased to 525 with a maxed
Trivia
- Banshee Prime is the third Warframe to have a direct Mastery Rank requirement, the first being Rhino and the second being Oberon Prime (as of Update 19.13 (2017-03-09) the mastery rank requirement for Rhino has been removed). She is also the second Warframe to have a Mastery Rank (direct or indirect) above the common 5, the first being Titania.
- The Banshee Prime Access Pack was unintentionally teased in console version 19.8.0.
- Players who won the Prime Gaming Giveaway received the Banshee Prime Access Pack on Hotfix 19.11.4 (2017-02-22), a week before the pack's official release.

Main article: Sonic Boom (edit)
|
 ENERGY: 25 KEY 1 |
Sonic Boom Banshee emits a sonic shockwave that pushes targets in range with enough force to incapacitate or kill attackers. |
Strength:25 / 35 / 40 / 50 ( Impact damage)
|
| Duration:N/A | |||
| Range:10 / 12 / 13 / 15 m |
- Banshee channels sound at high velocity to create a shock wave that propagates forward in a 180° cone up to 10 / 12 / 13 / 15 meters away. Enemies caught by the wave are ragdolled several meters and receive 25 / 35 / 40 / 50 Impact damage.
- Damage is affected by Ability Strength.
- The shock wave does not affect enemies behind obstacles in the environment unless Banshee has line-of-sight.
- Range is affected by Ability Range.
- The shock wave will have a very slight delay between activating and knocking down enemies at the maximum range of the ability, as it has a very minute travel time.
- Some enemies, including most heavy units, have a cooldown before being able to be knocked back again.
- Some enemies will simply be stunned or be knocked down, but most will be pushed back.
- Can be used while jumping, sliding, flipping, wall-running or wall-clinging.
- Delay of about 0.8 seconds between uses.
- Main article: Sonic Fracture
Sonic Fracture is a Warframe Augment Mod for Banshee's 
Sonic Boom that allows it to temporarily strip armor off enemies.
| Rank | Armor Reduction | Duration | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 30% | 2s | 6 |
| 1 | 45% | 4s | 7 |
| 2 | 55% | 6s | 8 |
| 3 | 70% | 8s | 9 |
- Can be used effectively as a source of instant crowd control to get large amounts of enemies out of your face incredibly quickly.
- When combined with Energy Siphon and Maximized Ability Range, this ability can be used continuously to keep large crowds of enemies off their feet until death. This is one of the most energy efficient crowd-control effects in the game.
- Since Sonic Boom can knock most enemies back, it can be used to instantly kill enemies by sending them down a bottomless pit.
|
 ENERGY: 50 KEY 2 |
Sonar Using acoustic location, Banshee's Sonar power finds and tracks enemies, and exposes critical weak spots to everyone in your squad. |
Strength:2x / 3x / 4x / 5x |
| Duration:10 / 15 / 20 / 30 s | |||
| Range:20 / 25 / 30 / 35 m |
- Banshee emits a sound wave and reveals the location of every enemy within 20 / 25 / 30 / 35 meters. Tracked enemies will be visible on every player's mini-map, and each enemy will have a body part highlighted. These effects last for 10 / 15 / 20 / 30 seconds. Hitting an enemy in the highlighted area causes the inflicted damage to be multiplied by 200% / 300% / 400% / 500%.
- Damage multiplier is affected by Ability Strength.
- Damage can also be increased by body-part multipliers such as the head or unprotected body parts.
- Duration is affected by Ability Duration.
- Range is affected by Ability Range.
- Damage multiplier is affected by Ability Strength.
- Has a cast delay of about 0.8 seconds and a recast time of about 2.4 seconds.
- Recasting Sonar while it's still active will cause additional body parts to be highlighted. Highlighted areas can overlap, causing inflicted damage to be further amplified multiplicatively.
- Sonar does not highlight all enemies within its maximum area of effect immediately, instead the effect propagates outward from the caster's position, traveling at a fixed pace irrespective of Ability Range mods, similar to the mechanics of Nova's Molecular Prime.
- Main article: Resonance
Resonance is a Warframe Augment Mod for Banshee's 
Sonar that triggers an additional Sonar pulse with a fraction of the original pulse's remaining duration if an enemy is killed in a highlighted weakspot.
| Rank | Duration | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 50% | 6 |
| 1 | 65% | 7 |
| 2 | 80% | 8 |
| 3 | 100% | 9 |
- Can increase damage done by abilities if the glowing body part is the torso, since most abilities target the torso.
- This ability can help with ranking up new weapons, as the damage multiplier can increase a weapon's damage to a given area, thereby increasing ammo efficiency. Coupled with Rifle Amp, this can greatly improve a weapon's effectiveness before it has enough room for much-needed mods.
- Because of its multiplicative nature, Sonar is arguably the most potential damage booster currently in the game. A fully modded Banshee combined with a fully modded Equinox can increase the damage multiplier to 18.95, so a single overlapping area will multiply the damage 359 times. For example: a single rifle shot of 5000 damage on a doubled-weakspot on an unarmored target would deal 1.8 million damage.
- Sonar's augment mod Resonance helps greatly with Ability Efficiency, since it allows Sonars to be automatically cast every few seconds simply by dealing killing damage on weakpoints.
- Although the enemy reveal effect does not combine with Enemy Radar or Enemy Sense, it is stronger that either of them on their own.
- It seems the traveling speed of this ability depends on the distance to the target. The wave propagates at ~12 m/s for 24 meters, but at ~15 m/s for 48 meters and at ~16.5 m/s for 80 meters.
|
 ENERGY: 75 KEY 3 |
Silence Using Silence surrounds Banshee in an aura that stuns enemies and will limit their perceptions and tactical response to gunfire and Warframe attacks. |
Strength:N/A |
| Duration:10 / 15 / 20 / 30 s | |||
| Range:10 / 13 / 15 / 20 m | |||
| Misc:2 s (stun duration) Enemy abilities disabled | |||
| Subsumable to Helminth |
- Banshee emits a sound dampening aura within 10 / 13 / 15 / 20 meters around her for 10 / 15 / 20 / 30 seconds. Enemies entering the aura will initially experience a sonic disturbance becoming momentarily stunned for 2 seconds; affected enemies remain deafened to sounds which alert them to the direction of nearby combat, as well as become unable to perform special abilities while within Silence's influence.
- Aura radius is affected by Ability Range.
- Duration is affected by Ability Duration.
- Casting speed is affected by Natural Talent and Speed Drift.
- Stun duration is not affected by mods.
- Unaware enemies will not become alerted when affected by the aura and will resume normal behavior after recovering from the stun.
- Enemies exiting then reentering the aura can repeatedly experience the stun again.
- Silence will also deafen the caster, muffling all gunfire from friend, foe, and self alike.
- Some enemy special abilities such as Heavy Gunner ground slam, Shockwave MOA stomp, and grenade toss are disabled from use entirely.
- Enemies under the effect of the aura will not respond to sounds such as gunfire, alarms and death screams, and generally become unable to detect players and other enemies by means other than sight or touch.
- Unaware enemies will still become alerted when sighting players or taking damage.
- Taking damage will not inform enemies to the location of the attacking player, but they are still likely to investigate in the direction the attack came from.
- Enemies that are alert before entering Silence's aura will remain alerted, but may still lose track of players if line of sight is broken.
- After a brief delay, enemies that do not have line of sight with a player will become susceptible to Stealth Damage Multipliers from melee attacks as long as line of sight remains broken and the player does not come into direct physical contact with the enemy.
- The ability does not change a weapon's Noise Level from "Alarming" to "Silent".
- Disables enemies from using most special abilities which are neither a ranged nor melee attack; passive abilities are not disabled.
- Disabled by Silence:
- Actively cast buffs & debuffs (Grineer Regulators, Corpus Scrambus Auras, etc)
- Actively cast shields & attacks (all Eximus special abilities, thrown grenades, ground slams from Grineer, all Ambulas abilities except main gun, etc.)
- Movement abilities (Osprey's charge, Charger's charge, Leaper's leap, Flameblade's teleport, etc)
- Hook/pull attacks (Scorpion's hook, Ancient's hook, etc)
- Summoning/spawning (Drahk Master, Fusion MOA, Brood Mother, Juno Tech, etc) - note that some units such as Drahk Master immediately summon after spawning. This cannot be prevented unless they are within range of you when they spawn, but it will prevent any further summoning.)
- Immune to Silence:
- Ranged/melee attacks even if unique (Osprey grenade launchers, Swarm Mutalist MOA's gun, Bombard homing rockets, Electric Crawler melee, etc)
- Intrinsic damage reduction: (Ex: Nox armor, Sentient damage adaptation, etc)
- Passive auras (Shield Osprey emitter, Ancient Healer's aura, slowing/burning/energy drain emitted by Eximus units, Arbitration Shield Drone aura, etc)
- On-death abilities (Volatile Runner's suicide, Toxic Crawler's death cloud, Boiler's infested pod, Undying Flyer's rebirth, etc)
- Nullifier fields (Nullifier Crewman, Isolator Bursa nullifier sphere)
- Special Grineer Interactions:
- Special Infested Interactions:
- Projectiles shot by Lobber Crawler don't come from a gun, they're an ability and are completely disabled.
- Mutalist Osprey cannot let go of Crawlers it has picked up.
- Maggots cannot attach to Tenno, they just do nothing and die.
- Special Corpus Interactions:
- Remech Osprey cannot revive disabled Ambulas and can be stopped mid-cast by Silence.
- Osprey units cannot charge & self-destruct when low on health.
- Isolator Bursa can unpredictably make itself immune to Silence due to its nullifier sphere ability.
- All Scrambus units can be silenced INCLUDING the Fog Scrambus which should disable Silence, but ironically becomes unable to because it is silenced.
- Special Sentient Interactions:
- All attacks which aren't their standard ranged weaponry are disabled, including the spinning laser attack which can be disabled while already in progress.
- If a silenced sentient is also disarmed then it will do NOTHING because it has no programmed melee attack. It will simply hover in place or move around helplessly.
- Other Interactions:
- All abilities of enemies in The Index are disabled (Armis Ulta just shoots, Auditor just shoots, etc.)
- All abilities of enemy specters are disabled (Junction Specter, Knave Specter, etc) and they can only shoot or melee.
- All abilities of enemy Necramech units are disabled and they can only shoot or melee.
- The following units are immune to Silence: The Stalker, Grineer Manic, Kuva Guardian (when immune to Warframe damage), Vomvalyst (when incorporeal), Nullifier Crewman, Isolator Bursa (when nullifier sphere is active).
- Disabled by Silence:
- Affected enemies will glow with Banshee's energy color.
- Has a cast delay of about 0.4 seconds.
- Cannot be recast while active.
- Subsuming Banshee to the Helminth will offer Silence and its augments to be used by other Warframes.
- Main article: Savage Silence
Savage Silence is a Warframe Augment Mod for Banshee's 
Silence that multiplies the damage of standing finisher attacks on affected enemies.
| Rank | Effect | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | +150% | 6 |
| 1 | +200% | 7 |
| 2 | +250% | 8 |
| 3 | +300% | 9 |
- Silence can be used as a form of crowd control due to the momentary stun dealt to enemies entering its field. This is most useful for Banshees engaging in melee combat, as they can stun ranged enemies simply by approaching them, giving them time to close the distance and engage.
- Silence can also be used to keep Infested enemies at bay, giving more time to attack them from range.
- With a maximized range build, Silence can be used to clear a room of enemies using firearms without alerting enemies in adjacent rooms. Keep in mind however, that enemies will still react if they see you, or if they see one of their own killed.
- Despite the excellent utility provided, Silence can also render Banshee deaf, preventing her from anticipating nearby enemies or enemies from behind while attacking enemies.
- Too much range may reduce the potency of this ability as a crowd control tool, as enemies are only stunned when they initially enter the aura and may be out of attack range (behind walls, etc.), allowing them to recover.
- Enemies are more likely to target the player's Sentinel when Silence is active, which can prove to be harmful for weaker Sentinels.
- Blinded enemies under the effect of Silence will not react to most things aside from direct contact and wander around aimlessly.
- Staying on the move and frequently breaking line of sight with affected enemies can result in taking much fewer hits as they cannot use the sound of gunfire to find players or other enemies that are in combat.
- The skill can most likely not be recast while this bug is in active.
Main article: Sound Quake (edit)
|
 ENERGY: 25 KEY 4 |
Sound Quake Channeling all of her acoustic energy into the environment, Banshee uses ultrasonic reverberations to violently shake the ground. Energy Drain: 25 / 18 / 15 / 12 s-1 |
Strength:125 / 150 / 175 / 200 ( Blast damage)
|
| Duration:N/A | |||
| Range:12 / 15 / 18 / 20 m |
- Banshee plants her hands on the ground, releasing ultrasonic reverberations around her which inflict 125 / 150 / 175 / 200 Blast damage per second and stagger all enemies within 12 / 15 / 18 / 20 meters.
- Damage is affected by Ability Strength.
- Damage does not diminish with distance.
- Damage bypasses obstacles in the environment.
- Blast damage is effective against Machinery and Fossilized, but less effective against Ferrite Armor and Infested Sinew.
- Blast status effect forces all enemies within a 5 meter radius to stumble and fall.
- Range is affected by Ability Range.
- Sound Quake drains 25 / 18 / 15 / 12 energy per second, and will remain active so long as Banshee has energy. Sound Quake will end if Banshee runs out of energy, or if deactivated by pressing the ability key again (default 4 ).
- Activation and channeling energy costs are affected by Ability Efficiency.
- Channeling energy cost is affected by Ability Efficiency and Ability Duration.
- Banshee can not replenish energy using Squad Energy Restores, Energy Vampire, Energy Siphon, or Zenurik's Energizing Dash while Sound Quake is active; however, Energy Orbs, Orokin Void Death Orb energy restores, Arcane Energize, Rage and/or Hunter Adrenaline can still replenish energy even while the ability is active.
- Banshee is not invincible during the animation.
- Enemies inside the area of effect are staggered for the duration of the skill. However, it's possible for an enemy to stumble outside of Sound Quake's range if they are too close the edge of the effective area.
- Will destroy lights in the area of effect, but not Reinforced Glass or other objects.
- If cast in midair, Banshee will instantly drop to the ground to perform this ability.
- Has a cast delay of 1 second and post-cast delay of 1 second.
- Main article: Resonating Quake
Resonating Quake is an Warframe Augment Mod for Banshee that replaces 
Sound Quake's channeling feature for a single, large shockwave that deals bonus damage at the epicenter, but decreases damage as the shockwave spreads.
| Rank | Damage | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | x10 | 6 |
| 1 | x12 | 7 |
| 2 | x15 | 8 |
| 3 | x20 | 9 |
- Using Sound Quake can be a very effective crowd control technique to give your team some breathing room to do some of the following:
- Revive a fallen teammate.
- Clear out some heavy mobs without retaliation.
- Re-orient themselves to dish out some CC of their own.
- As Sound Quake's duration is based on the amount of energy one has, ( Primed) Flow and/or the Arcane Reverb Helmet is very useful in extending the effective duration of the ability.
- Moas are extremely susceptible to Sound Quake, and it generally works well against other Corpus enemies. Though decent against Grineer, it performs the worst out of the three due to their innate high armor.
- While standing on the cryo floors in the Void, Sound Quake's drain is reduced. However, the cast delay is increased and the damage tick occurs once every 2 seconds.
- Since Banshee is immobilized when the ability is active, it's highly suggested to bring a Sentinel with Vacuum equipped to pick up nearby Energy Orbs and prolong the duration Sound Quake is active.
