The ''' | The [[Banished]] employ a number of modified '''Banshees''' in their campaigns against their enemies. | ||
== | ==Operational history== | ||
Traditional [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshees]] are modelled after the [['sKelln]], an aerial predator on the [[Sangheili]] homeworld [[Sanghelios]]. However, those variants in service under [[Atriox]] have been twisted from their original form, with design features and details inspired by an aerial predator from the [[Jiralhanae]] homeworld of [[Doisac]].<ref name="PL">'''[[Halo Wars 2]]''', ''[[Phoenix Logs]] - Banshee''</ref><ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/the-art-of-war-s '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Canon Fodder: The Art of War(s)'']</ref> | |||
Base Banished Banshee models are equipped with a [[fuel rod cannon]] for attacks against ground targets and rapid-fire [[plasma]] cannons for anti-air work, though can be upgraded with tracking [[plasma torpedo]]es for more effective air assault.{{Ref/Reuse|PL}} | |||
These Banshees saw heavy use by the Banished during their [[Second Ark Conflict|campaign]] on [[Installation 00|the Ark]] against the forces of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} in [[2559]].<ref>'''[[Halo Wars 2]]'''</ref> | |||
The Banished Banshees seen at [[Installation 07 conflict|conflicts]] on [[Zeta Halo]] in [[2560]] appear to take advantage of an entirely different model, seemingly that of the [[Type-26B Banshee]]. This [[Kaelum Workshop Banshee|Banshee]], retrofitted by Kaelum Workshop, has been optimized for combat durability with it's thick armor covering the head and lining the wings. | |||

==Variants== | |||
*'''[[Unstable Banshee]]''' - A variant of the Banshee employed by [[Shipmaster]] [[Let 'Volir]]. This is a variant of the Banished Banshee that is fitted with unidentified canisters that cause the vehicle to explode violently upon destruction. | |||

Banshees in ''Halo Wars 2'' can be built by all Banished leaders at an [[Banished Apex|Apex]]. Un-upgraded Banshees perform well against vehicles, but only okay against infantry, aircraft, and structures. Once the ''Plasma Torpedo'' upgrade is researched Banshees will perform well against aircraft. In [[Blitz]] Banshees cost 50 power and Unstable Banshees cost 90 power. Banshees can be infected by Flood [[Seeder infector]]s. | Banshees in ''Halo Wars 2'' can be built by all Banished leaders at an [[Banished Apex|Apex]].
