Info

  • Banshee expends EnergyOrb25 energy to channel sound at high velocity to create a shockwave that propagates forward in a 180° cone up to AbilityRangeBuff10 / 12 / 13 / 15 meters away. Enemies caught by the wave are ragdolled several meters and receive AbilityStrengthBuff25 / 35 / 40 / 50 DmgImpactSmall64 Impact damage.
    • The shock wave does not affect enemies behind obstacles in the environment unless Banshee has line-of-sight.
    • 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.

Sonic Fracture

Tips & Tricks

  • 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 Mod TT 20px 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.
