Warframe: How to Get Banshee & Banshee Prime (2026) Guide

Banshee is a Warframe who harnesses the power of sound to cause chaos, using sonic energy to overwhelm and annihilate her enemies.

She earns her name from her sound-based abilities, channeling vibrations to devastate foes with precision while maintaining elegant control over the battlefield.

Banshee excels at both supporting allies and delivering lethal damage, allowing players to adapt between stealthy control and powerful offensive playstyles.

How To Get Banshee?

Research and Replicate

Banshee is one of the Warframes that can be obtained after being researched at a Tenno Lab, which is in your Clan Dojo.

Once research is complete, you may replicate Banshee’s Main Blueprint as well as the Banshee Component Blueprints.

Research requires that you spend resources, and your whole clan may contribute, but if you have already joined a Clan that has completed the research, you can skip replicating her blueprints.

Warframe Banshee Builds (2025) Guide

Banshee Abilities

Passive Ability

All of Banshee’s weapons are “Hushed,” treating them as silent and giving her a significant advantage when it comes to stealth.

1) Sonic Boom

Banshee unleashes a powerful sonic wave in front of her, pushing enemies with enough force to knock them down or even kill them.

This can be an effective way for you to deal damage to multiple enemies or disable them to gain the upper hand in a fight.

Sonic Boom (Max Rank)

Augment Mods: 

• Sonic Fracture reduces the armor of enemies hit by a certain percentage. Obtained from Cephalon Cuda/The Perrin Sequence.

2) Sonar

Banshee utilizes acoustic location to find and track enemies within a certain radius, which reveals their position on your map.

In addition to this, enemies that are tracked will have their weak spots exposed to everyone in your squad, which can be targeted for additional damage.

Sonar (Max Rank)

Augment Mods: 

• Resonance causes the Sonar to spread to other enemies that are killed by hitting their weak spots. Obtained from Cephalon Cuda/The Perrin Sequence.

3) Silence

Banshee surrounds herself with an aura that stuns enemies within a radius around her, limiting their perceptions and tactical response to gunfire and Warframe attacks.

This can be a great way to set enemies up in an area to be attacked, giving you and your allies an advantage against them.

Silence (Max Rank)

Augment Mods: 

• Savage Silence causes Finisher Damage to be increased while Silence is active. Obtained from Cephalon Cuda/The Perrin Sequence.

4) Sound Quake

Banshee begins to channel her acoustic energy into the ground, releasing ultrasonic reverberations that affect the area around her to damage and stagger enemies.

This ability allows her to apply crowd control to an area as well as multiple enemies, making it perfect for small and large spaces.

Reckoning (Max Rank)

Augment Mods: 

• Resonating Quake alters Sound Quake to release an expanding shockwave from Banshee’s location, dealing more damage to closer enemies. Obtained from Cephalon Cuda/The Perrin Sequence.

Verdict

Banshee is a powerful Warframe when it comes to crowd control and improving the damage output of her allies through her sound-based abilities.

Her capability to damage a large area around her makes her highly effective at clearing groups of enemies, especially when they are scattered across the battlefield.

Different builds can be utilized with Banshee, and depending on the mods she is equipped with, she can be outstanding on her own, in a team, or both.
