So I thought that BEs were a hard and fast way of interrupting the Banshee sync kill. But several times last night I created BEs on her with level 4/5 Reave and level 2/3 Cluster Grenades, and the resulting BE/damage didn't interrupt the sync kill animation. (I was able to predict because the host was a vanguard and was CQC with her occasionally to restore shields, so I was spamming Reave and keeping an eye on her arms to chuckthe CGs as soon as she leaned down.) So I guess I'm wondering whether the problem was lag not setting off my BEs in time, or lag making the sync kill animation impossible to stop, or if either the primer or detonator or both have to be at a specific rank to stagger her.

Has anyone experienced this before? Or have I lost the plot 

Also it would be helpful/useful if people could post their go-to ways of interrupting Lady Magnet Arms mid-animation with different characters. I've heard it said that every class/race combination has an interrupt option available that isn't Cobras, but I haven't played all of them and haven't figured out what they are on a few I have played.

Thanks for reading

you can interrupt them after a certain amount of damage.

a kishok headshot while cloaked will do enough.
so will 2-3 black widow shots and a proximity mine.
or 3 uncharged GPS shots and a proximity mine, etc.
you get the idea.

the timeframe is very low though, like 3 seconds i believe.
after that the damage counter resets and u have to try again.

in the case of a sync kill, u have 3 seconds before the banshee gibs ur buddy.

I have noticed that sometimes lately the stagger does not interrupt her instant kill. I thought this was due to lag which has been bad for me this last week. Even a missile couldn't stop it in one match I was in so I know that was lag. Also I have seen her drop me for no reason that I could see and i am pretty sure that isn't something they do.

Hapened many times. Seems that any damage enough stop banshees kill. 2-3 teamamtes launch same time their powers against banshee?

Banshee time to time recoil backward when it takes high dps. Is that backward recoil same as stop? Perhaps.

Little OT, some said that BE's can't oneshot people when her (her?) barrier is down..

It's not true.

As for stopping sync kills, I don't really know. Tried to with a Javelin shot on the head + proximity mine but didn't work.

she doesn't take headshots from anything but the kishok.
unfortunately javelin doesn't deal enough DPS to stun a banshee on your own.
if you want to execute a solo stun, you'll need a black widow, or a claymore, or a GPS or something.

My javelin staggers her whenever I get a cloak shot on her, I havn't tried it without cloak. I save teammates from being impaled all the time. I have the Javelin X and the damage per shot is enough to reliable stagger her, if I cloak first. I don know which level of Javelin you need to stagger but it definitely does in fact stagger her with a level X.

Fully Specced for blast TA Blast will cancel it.

If you get a cloaked shot, then a reload cancel shot in quick succession you can indeed stagger them.

Also note that a cloaked Javelin shot + 3 Revenant shots from a teammate = a stagger! (Constantly staggered Banshees anyone?... yes please!

[Shepard Wins]

I've seen it happen mor often lately. I think I've saved a teammate or two with a Valiant as well.

[Arundel Vandraman]

AR or Marksman with a Hurricane and AP ammo III does a reliable job.

[Immortal Strife]

Regardless of weapon she will stagger when you drop her shields.

[Drayce333]

Saved a team mate last night with 3 shots from a cloak valiant by myself.

[Fade9wayz]

Charge + Nova specced for damage works wonders as well. Otherwise charge + claymore too

[etm125]

Claymore only seems to stagger if you're up very close to her (dangerously close).

it can be dodgy, i mean i got grabbed by a Praetorian on Platinum, none of my team was alive yet i got dropped. i guess it must have felt guilty, couldnt go through with the execution

[lazysundae]

OMG where did you find this? I thought I had lost it forever 8 months ago.

[BurningLiquor]

Now THAT's a necro.

i just typed in 'ways to stop sync kills' i think. i was looking to see if there is a way for you to get out of a sync kill if you are the one grabbed (excluding team mates)

[Thrasher91604]

A useful one though. Thanks for your evil ways. But all the suggestiond need to be prefaced by difficulty level (gold, platinum, whatever). What works on bronze may not on silver... etc..

[AwesomeBabyLion]

Shadowstriked a Banshee and she dropped my friend. Heroic save ftw!

[Ryanatix]

I was randomly dropped on Gold, Collectors should stop with the Praetorians they just cant get the job done.
On a serious note though if you do a shot into the body of a banshee that does about 2000 damage i think it is, then the banshee will stop the kill. also if you get rid of its barriers it tends to stagger backwards just dropping people

[oXTheReverendXo]

Popping a thermal clip with a decent weapon can get her to drop too. Weapons get a brief (10 seconds?) 100% damage bonus. I've used this effectively quite a few times now.
