{{Expand-section}}

Banished Wraiths are armed with a plasma mortar and twin plasma cannons for use against ground and air targets. The plasma cannons are hidden underneath the armor.

==Variants==

*'''[[Wraith Invader]]''': An APC variant of the Banished Wraith.<ref>[https://twitter.com/GrimBrotherOne/status/910686259982376961 '''Twitter''' - ''Jeff Easterling's answer'']</ref> In the Covenant, ecclesiastical authorities ultimately oversaw even the most trivial modifications to existing designs. Improvements or alterations required layers of bureaucracy to navigate, and often took decades to gain approval from the Prophets. The Banished approval process is much simpler: if there is a demonstrated need and materials available a pack leader can make any changes that he or she wishes. The Wraith Invader is an example of this freedom, with Pavium taking damaged mortar tank hulls and repurposing them into heavy troop carriers.<ref name="BACK">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/back-mentality '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Back Mentality'']</ref>

*'''[[Ironclad Wraith]]''': A variant of Wraith equipped with ramming spikes and upgraded armor.

*'''[[Terror Wraith]]''': A variant of Wraith equipped with an [[Infusion gel]]-firing plasma mortar.

Wraiths can be built at the [[Banished Foundry|Foundry]] by all Banished [[leader]]s. Unlike its Covenant counterpart from ''Halo Wars'', the Banished Wraith in ''Halo Wars 2'' starts off with an energy shield by default. Wraiths do well against infantry and vehicles, and okay against aircraft and structures. In [[Blitz]] Wraiths cost 110 energy, Ironclad Wraiths cost 140 energy, and Terror Wraiths cost 150 energy. Ironclad Wraiths agro all nearby damage from enemy units and Terror Wraiths reduce enemy units armor.
