Banshee — Silent Gloom
Endgame build. Gloom over Sound Quake. Silence plus a slow field. Sonar still does the damage math.

Don’t build this yet
First Ping first
This loadout sits at Endgame. It wants Forma, Helminth, or shards you may not have. Play the Starter until those systems are open — then this page is the upgrade, not the homework.
Open First PingWhy this build?
Endgame for Solo Steel Path, Liches, people who want the room stuck in mud
Health: Not yet — Helminth, Steel Path, or Archon Hunts still closed. Play the Starter.
- Gloom is the solo subsume. Resonance stays.
- Sound Quake remains deleted.
- Energy drain is real. Energize or Zenurik.
Don’t use this for: Star Chart only · new accounts · players without Helminth · ability-nuke as the damage
Specialised investment for hard content
You don’t need the shards to run the loop. They are a later ceiling, not a gate.
Bring: Primary — Same gun plan as Resonance. Gloom keeps them in the weak spot.
Alternative if…
- You don’t have Helminth yet → First Ping
- Star Chart only → First Ping
- New account or low investment → First Ping
- This is too much Forma / cost → Herald of Death — Optimised

- Required mods 0/9 · required — 0/9 named
- Forma 0/4 · required — 4 on the card. Codex does not track installed Forma.
- Helminth 0/1 · required — Subsume Gloom (Sevagoth)
- Arcanes · recommended — 0/2 recommended
- Shards · optional — Optional unless the card says a breakpoint
Investment: 4 Forma · Reactor · Helminth (Gloom (Sevagoth)) · 2 shards · 3 specialised mods. Typical farm ~4–6 hours. Trade if a route is vaulted.
Codex Checked · Compared against current game data for this update. · Update 43.5 · 5 Sept 2026 · PC · Current
Medium confidence. A solid recommendation with more situational dependencies. Confidence is not verification. Verification is separate: Codex Checked against Update 43.5.

What to put on the body
Gloom (Sevagoth) over Sound Quake (4)
A slow / lifesteal aura. Precision Intensify can snapshot Gloom. Silence plus Gloom is two layers of 'please stop moving.'
Helminth is locked. Tick it on Progress before you subsume.

Common mistakes
Precision Intensify on the wrong ability
It buffs 4. That's why Gloom is on 4.
When this feels easy
