Banshee

• 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.

• 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.

• 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".
• 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.

• 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.

• 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 bypass 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.

• 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.
