Editing D'nomlhe-pattern Banshee/Gameplay

* Unlike [[Type-26 Banshee]]s in ''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]'', the Type-54 Banshee can use its fuel rod cannon both in campaign and in multiplayer. It can lock onto enemy aircraft only and not ground emplacements.
** The fuel rod is more efficient at killing than the plasma cannons.
* Pressing the melee button (default: RB) slows the Banshee down so it enters Patrol Mode.
** Entering Patrol Mode is useful for engaging enemies in tight buildings (e.g. Warzone bases).
* The Type-54 Banshee is slightly more durable than previous Banshees due to having energy shielding. However, the shields break in 3 [[BR85 battle rifle|BR85N battle rifle]] bursts.
* Shooting at the Banshee's wing joints deals extra damage to it. With this considered, 103 BR85N bursts at the wing joints will destroy a Banshee.
* The T-54 Banshee is found in the following campaign missions: ''[[Blue Team (level)|Blue Team]]'', ''[[Enemy Lines]]'', and ''[[Genesis (level)|Genesis]]''.
** In ''Blue Team'', the player can activate an easter egg to spawn an Ultra Banshee. This only works on solo, though.
* In 2018, the Banshee was changed to have a longer delay between each use of its acrobatic maneuvers.
* Warzone features three additional variants of the Banshee:
** '''Sword Banshee''': an improved Banshee which features better armor over the standard model. This is useful for extended combat engagements.
** '''Ultra Banshee''': a Superior Banshee with heavy armor, higher speeds, and a rapid-fire, linear-trajectory fuel rod cannon that operates like the ''[[Type-58 fuel rod cannon#Variants|Pool of Radiance]]'' with its two secondary explosions. The Ultra is very useful for engaging ground and air enemies and bosses in Warzone.
** '''Temple Banshee''': a Masterwork Banshee with similar armor to the Ultra variant and the ability to fire while boosting, as well as improved handling. This variant is most useful for quick hit-and-run engagements and more aggressive engagements.
