The Banished utilize modified Wraiths^[2] with additional armor plating and spikes, tabbed corners on new plates, energy shielding, and raw metals and "war paint" to reflect the Banished's aggressive mentality.

Design details

Creation

The Foundry's garage and its kit assembly line allows the requisition of a Banished Wraith.^[1]

Crew and complement

This section needs expansion. You can help Halopedia by expanding it.

Armaments

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.^[3] 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.^[4]
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.

Wraith Invader

Operational history

In March 2559 the Banished used their own modified version of the Wraith during operations against the crew of the UNSC Spirit of Fire on Installation 00.^[5]

Wraiths can be built at the Foundry by all Banished leaders. 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.

Trivia

Various concept art show the Wraith with Plasma Turrets despite the turrets being absent ingame.
This is one of the few vehicles of non-human origin known to be submersible, with the others being the Type-47B,^[6] Banished Locust and Scarab.^[7]
