BANSHEE

Banshee's call heralds death. She maintains crowd control and identifies enemy weak points with sonic attacks. Few can hold their position when struck by her force.

Banshee tags enemies with Sonar to turn any gun into a one-shot weapon on the marked weak spots, then locks rooms down with Silence stuns or a ramping Sound Quake for area clears. She's paper-thin health-wise, so Steel Path play leans on Gloom, shield gating, or Silence's stun-lock to stay alive rather than tanking hits.
