Max out overload damage and go for force damage instead of weapon damage.
Jedi mind bullets them hoes to death.

So I guess Banshees are not just Reaper Phantoms, but some kind of beast you can't kill with a Widow?

Oh my.

they have a lot more hp and move like the asari dash, so it's harder to track them through a scope.

My only character sofar is a human engineer and I've played mostly bronze and only a few silver games. Weapons are still kinda crap though I'm level 20 now.

Atleast on bronze you can kite around a brute pretty easily. Banshee's are more time but are also doable.

Though it seems that the other reapers can really hit you hard as well so you need lots of empty space to maneuver.

The tip screen during loadout says to hit them when they are using their biotic charge, maybe I'm imaging it but I seem to do as much damage body shotting them with my sniper rifle during their charge as compared to shooting them in the head when they are standing still.

We need some kind of strategy for them. I'll help by saying pummeling them with Overload and Incinerate then spraying them head to toe with SMG fire does NOT work well at all.

Sadly that is all anyone has gotten. I foresee Stasis being your friend here but nothing else yet seems to slow them down.

ya know, it's weird. While banshees have been doing a great job scaring the living daylights outa me, I don't think I've actually been killed by one yet.

The biggest issue w/ Banshees is that danged Barrier I think - If you have some folks on team w/ Warp/Warp ammo it should help out. Also a sub machine gun [they still strip barriers right?] w/ Warp Ammo should help out. The 4 times I faced them today in MP were very tense - first time I was insta-killed, next 3 barely killed them with the team all focusing fire [low levels, no HW].

Brutes are easy in comparison, just use inferno ammo and rip their armor off. Shotgun them when they crouch to charge [preferably from behind]. They remind me of the Ogres in Dragon Age - same sort of charge animation, same annoyingly high damage threshhold.

No matter how quickly folks learn to take down Banshee's though, I still forsee them as the engineer's of nightmares. When I hear one scream at the beginning of a wave now I kind of shudder and make sure I have room to run around.

I used to hate Phantoms, then I discovered Banshees warping around and one shotting people into unrecoverable death.

Super.  Annoying.

They're armored, so Stasis won't work.

Warp->Throw Biotic Explosions might stagger them, though.

Get rid of their barriers fast and they're pie.. use Disruptor ammo

[Moose Invictus]

Multiple banshees on Silver coupled with Marauders and Brutes is possibly the most intese matchup in the game. But a couple of geth pyros at point-blank range seem far more panic-worthy because your shields melt like butter. I saw this hilarious pro-tip on a loading screen that if you hit the banshee while she's erratically teleporting, it'll drop her barrier reserved quickly and yes, it appears to be true. So the best tactic for non-vabguard or the missilie-less is kite her around and pepper her while she teleports. Fast homing attacks like incinerate and concussive shot work particularly well.

Last night was actually the first time I've ever faced the reaper faction and a banshee (most of my MP during development was vs Cerberus or Geth).

She is seriously creepy in an awesome way! I love how she sorta flashes towards you, almost like that little film trick they do in modern horror movies. And her scream is bone chilling up close.

Then she grabbed my Quarian Infiltrator and it was curtains for me.

[Teldara]

Banshee + Brute combo.

You can also stop Banshee mid kill. Not sure how but we just kept shooting at it when she grabbed a teamate.

My strategy as Engineer:

Toss Drone out to deal some Rocket damage (Good against armored)
Overload the shields
Spam Ingite and kite with  shotgun.

I love the Reaper faction. Definitely the most fun matchup in the game if you choose a big map to play on. Banshees are fun to fight with (I think they have too much armor though), Brute melee attacks are dodgeable, which makes you feel like a badass without the QTE.

I was playing with some friends. Sniping Reapers from above, I was sure that I have seen the worse of it. I hadn't gotten far into single player so I had no idea of the horrors that awaited. Then, it happened. A scream pierced my ear. I turned and was faced with a set of glowing nipples. I looked up further and saw it. I backed away, firing desperately. It just tilted its head and flashed forward. Closer and closer. I saw the blue outlines of my teammates all the way across the map and down further.

I pulled a Joker as I raced away at full speed. "Oh **** oh **** oh ****!"

"What's wrong?" I heard one teammate ask me.

It screamed again. I turned, it was right at my back.

"What the hell is this thing?!" I cried, doing a 180 and dashing off towards my teammates.

I bolted past my teammates who were walking around, pointing their guns in every direction.

Then, it was there.

"Banshee!" my most experienced friend yelled.

We began throwing everything we had at it. The vanguard fell first. We fled, yelling into our mics.

Suddenly, it was dead. My friend's turret had taken it out in a blaze of fire and electricity. It was anti-climatic, but it was dead.

I will never sleep again. The end.

It is a lot of fun trying to kill a Banshee when surrounded by a Brute, Reaper, Marauder (x2), and Cannibals.

Or three other Banshees....

Last person alive, and I just kited a Banshee around and round in circles on my asari vanguard. Their biotic dashes seem to cancel each other out, so staying out of insta-kill range isn't an issue. Stasis doesn't work, and lift grenades do nothing. Using a vindicator with warp ammo, I can get through the barrier... then I'm done, no ammo and died I can't do anything after that so I just try kiting it with charges to further away+biotic dashes and hope my team takes the chance to do some damage. I love fighting them though, they really panic the entire team even on Silver. That's really fun, seeing everyone scurry and figure out what to do. 

It's cool because generally while the enemy closes in around you with swarmers and brutes, the banshee gets in close and pushes you out of your safety zone right into the horde. It's really great to play against, I like it.

When I met a Banshee for first time, I learned she has a instant kill.

Should this be happening?

[Pentinor]

Just spent the last min of a game running around the map waiting for the shuttle with 2 banshees 2-3 brutes, several rachni, and a whole load of other crap on my butt cus my whole team was dead....sole survivor ftw \\o//.

Also earlier I played a game with my friend and the first time he saw a banshee he was wondering why his bullets werent doing anything for damage...I told him your supposed to melee it to death in my best trollish voice not expecting him to actually try it...yea...Couldnt stop loling when he got picked up.

I got a Krogan sentinal and managed to melee a brute AND a banshee at the same time. Her biotic crap was down so she went down. Rather fast, too.

[stysiaq]

Banshees are the thing that make the Reaper faction fun.
If only the team would focus them more, or even consider using the missle launcher.

in my last game one banshee insta killed everyone, starting with my Krogan.
