how tf do i play as banshee?

[Sehkh]

like what does she do exactly? she isnt a nuke like equilox right?

Nah, she is strong but no one plays her cause you have to play around her Silence in against any relevant enemy and that makes your game sound like ♥♥♥♥.

Her Sonar is the strongest buff in game, just her passive suggests stealth and you can't do that unless you make your game sound like ♥♥♥♥.

She is an assist frame more than anything else.
a long range, low cost quake will incapacitate all enemy (except nullifiers) in a very large radius, they just stand there getting shot by your team-mates. I can quake for over 20 min without stopping, trivializing high end enemy in a group.
Sonar can get well over a 10X multiplier. I use hunter-orange so my team can see the spots and hit them easily against all enemy types.

between these two abilities, she is a powerful asset to any group.

you can also set up quake to do damage and kill moderately high end enemy slowly over time but its very slow and the drain/sec is MUCH higher than the CC use. You can also augment it into a nuke instead of a stand still ability. Its never going to be a top-tier aoe (maybe its me but the range where the damage is effective on higher level guys is too small), but with sonar on the tough guys and this on the weak trash, its not a bad setup.

solo tip: a spread-shot weapon or full auto makes it easier to hit your marks. I always liked a shotgun, some of the pellets hit the marked areas and boom.

Max Range and Efficiency Build. Press 4 and you can stunlock all ground enemies making Mobile Defense and Interception missions trivial as long as your teammates kill flying enemies if there are any.

If you have helminth unlocked then she becomes a true room clearer with marked for death + savage silence doing millions of damage in an aoe.
I'm personally enjoying banshee with helminth, is kinda fun seeing 100% damage dealt as banshee

still I do not feel she needs damage, just survivability that's not ass.

If its survivaility you need then just use arcane trickery in MFD build, theres a strange interaction there where the 15% chance is calculated for every enemies killed by MFD.
if you decimate a group then you turn invis instantly for 30 sec, what is better survivabilty than turning invis? keep doing finishers and keep being invis. try it out for youself.

i see this "unintended" feature being nerfed soon, as DE does so very often

I did not consider that, it rather seems broken.
