Banshee, just because you can't stay in cover to fight them, unlike the Prime (unless the Banshee gets caught on something, like a counter or a decoy). The Prime, at least you can stay in cover while it fires its 3-shot volley, and then leap out and run for a different cover if it's getting too close. Also, Prime has no instakill, although its ninja turrets that they throw right behind your cover are bloody annoying. If I didn't have e-drain, it would be more problematic, I think.

And Banshee will chase you out of cover, which is fine if you don't have other things waiting to shoot you when you pop out. ;P

Really? Seriously?

Well, the banshee teleports around the map and has an ability that makes her invulnerable for a short period. Not to mention the ability to instantly kill anyone she is close to at random. She's also pretty slim which makes lining up shots in a hurry that much more difficult.

The Prime. . . . just kind of shuffles in your general direction and is basically a huge target.

Considering a kroguard can just walk up to a prime and slap it to death, I'm going to go with banshee.

Edit in case kroguard doesn't count for you. I've occasionally had to carry waves on Platinum with my FQI. I can easily take down a Geth Prime with nothing but my Valiant (out of grenades and sabotage has been used up). If I'm stuck with banshees, it's missile launcher time. I just can't get enough shots into them to keep their barriers from regenerating, mostly because I can't stay under cover and shoot them.

Primes, hands down.

Primes always seem to have a nasty habit of proving me wrong when I think I have the advantage. With Banshees, if you can get over the fact that they can jump through walls, they're really not as annoying as Primes are.

Not to mention the fact that you can engage a Banshee at a relatively close/medium distance if you read her patterns (and therefore, keep up the pressure on her). Primes will murder you unless you're halfway across the map (and even then, he's the best sniper in the game).


I'd rather deal with a group of Primes than a group of Ravagers.  Ravagers are the best snipers in the game.

Primes I guess.
All you have to do with Banshees is keep your distance.

Banshees are definitely more terrifying to see, but Primes are more annoying for me to take down.

banshees are harder to take down cuz of their barriers n junk....but primes are so damned CHEAP they more than make up for the difference.


Geth....and especially the Primes and Hunters are cheap as hell!!! hate the geth.

Banshees barriers are really easy to take out, at least for me.

Prime shields and health are just frustrating :mellow:

I'd rather fight a Prime 1v1. I'm more worried about OHK more than turrets or anything else.

Geth Primes.

Banshees are fairly simple for me, given I'm not on a tiny map like Glacier.

Banshee for me, the fight is annoying because of the teleport, during that phase you only get pot shots in her and won't do any real damage, and when she finally stops you got a window. With Primes you just can deal more constant damage, apart from taking cover between the BANG BANG BANG. Krogan Sentinel with 2K shields and Piranha usually works head on against Prime but Banshee is a different story, she just sync kills you.

Banshees, because every time I hear them scream I get a mild panic attack.

Straight up 1 on 1? The Geth Prime.

There's no way most classes can just stand in front of it, out of cover, and take it down from full shields to death.

They simply take down your shields/health too fast, be it by their own gun or with their turret. Not to mention the brutal stunlock effect on some of the classes.

Whereas if it's just you and a Banshee, you just have to maintain a safe distance and plug away at it. If it throws a ball at you, simply just dodge it (well, if you're host) and keep going.


Kroguard: Ha! Ha! Ha! Squishy robot!

On Topic: Banshees... definetely banshees. I tend to play primarily vanguards and adepts, but I still find Banshees annoying as all hell. Why? Because nothing, NOTHING is more vile than damage over time.... The Prime is slow, easily confounded by a well placed wall, and his drones and turrets are a non-issue. I'll eat a few pulse blasts to the face if push comes to shove, after all, if I'm vanguarding it up, one good charge replinshes shields (with stagger proof Krogan or godly dodge Drell/Slayer, to keep from stun lock). But I will never, NEVER willingly eat a warp, no matter how much hot sauce you put on it, especially when it bend around corners to crush your beloved glass canon adept.

Primes, their turrets and their stun guns.

Banshees are fun.

Gotta go with Banshees :/
Magnet Hands get me way too often.

Aleate's GF here, I have to disagree... Geth Primes! Banshees you just have to run away from... For me, the geth are the hardest enemy in multiplayer overall for me!

This is what I initially thought. Even though they deploy GT's and if you have the right team they're not that bad to get through.

Even warp balls are easier to avoid than that prime magic arrow.
Primes without a doubt

I'd always rather fight something that can't synch kill.
