- Banshee! the 700 raid that was scary as fuck till the meta changed.
It's kit is very basic. It's main ranged weapon is the armed armor BS that can fire twice for an insta stun before Overheat. The Armed Armor BS [Discharge] which is suppose to mimic its smart beam launching. It has a decent distance, and rapid build stuns but it is stop to fire. It has a Beam saber specific for it with the federation pattern. Its Armed Armor VN (aka its claw/punch) Is its second melee that has good melee downswing range and heavy staggers. Finally you got vulcans that got good build stun to chase down suits. Your suit also gains a NT-D, it drains your slower then Phenex's and Unicorns. And your melee power skyrockets, with your stats increasing as well, besides your ranged stat that goes down. In NT-D its the only suit that gains Prio 4 for melee, letting you override EVERYONE when your meleeing. Your Armed Armor VN Transforms into the iconic claw, Which now has a heavy attack with a crazy melee modifier.
Over the 2+, years banshee existed it has been powercrept. Even after its first buff it received, it still struggled to play against the meta. Things got even worse when Xi and Penelope dropped, you had NOTHING to combat them outside your Discharge of your Armed Armor BS. You didn't have the range game at all to do jack shit against anything. It also didn't help that you needed to get into NT-D to really shine, Xi would be able to 1 combo you or almost kill you if you tried to fight it. You couldn't approach HWS because you had to rely on your discharge to break the shield, which left you vulnerable to everything.
It would receive buffs again in September! It would get 25.5K HP from 24K, The Cooldown on the Armed Armor BS would go from 3.0 seconds to 1.5, Its overhead would go from 13 seconds to 10, and the hit detection has been expanded o you can have a better shot hitting the target. Its Beam saber switch time was shortened. The Armed Armored BS [Discharge] power went from 800 to 1K, and the rigidity time after using the weapon was shortened. Its Special Armed Armor VN [Deployed] cool down would be shortened from 3.5 seconds to 3 seconds. These buffs were huge! Not only can you chain stun now with Rifle, Discharge, Rifle. But you also can start your downswing with your claw for a claw, saber, Claw Downswing combo. This combo is WAY more optimal compared to saber, claw, saber as you don't have to be so damn close to start your combo. These buffs give Banshee a fighting chance, and even win in engagements.
Overall Banshee is not bad in all honesty. Its ranged game has been improved to let you approach the target compared to before. Your melee game is much improved thanks to the more efficient combo as well. With that said this MS isn't easy to easy to master as positioning is hella important.
