Silence

It's mainly for farming affinity

A Good ability to shut down eximus units if you are having difficulty to deal with them.

I always assumed the disable lasts 2 seconds like the enemies stun

Because acolytes can stand outside the radius and cast abilities into it. Same thing can happen with jade light eximi.

Never go for more than base range with Silence so can control the area where you stun enemies and make them susceptible to stealth damage.

Tbh I'm gonna try it with range and duration on Loki for team use. Locking things out of use for everyone will make things way more tolerable (especially VS eximus units, they're still unable to do their thing)

Remove this comment do not let DE see this

Thrax enemies in Tier 1 conjunction survival (outside of Steel Path) never enter ethereal form when you kill them. can you confirm that works either on Tier 2 survival or Steel Path?

It's been a while since the last comment but to anyone wondering - Silence does not prevent thrax from going ethereal, tested in steel path as both host and client. It's still worth using though, just to prevent them from doing anything else.

Thanks for testing!

So it DOES stop them from using the "ethereal" attacks where they're invincible and force magnetic procs on hit, then? 'Cause that's still a great reason to use Silence.

Soul Punch can execute Thrax enemies below 25% health, bypassing their Spectral phase entirely, and will instantly respawn the Thrax as a Shadow for Nekros if he is not at this Shadow limit.

Amen. This subsume just became a lot more interesting!

Pretty much a required subsume on Limbo if you want to avoid cheap deaths as a result of new Eximus abiltiies.

Assuming you're referring to Silence's augment "Savage Silence", Yes it does. I use it on my finisher Ash for that very reason.

Yes.

Not anymore boooo

You only get the +700% when the enemy is unaware of you. Even if Silence is active and they shoot at you, you'll still just get standard damage.

However, when silence briefly staggers enemies, they are opened up to finishers and are briefly unaware of you, meaning you get the +700% damage on normal hits. Silence also makes it easier to sneak up on enemies. (Not as well as invisibility though)

The silence augment never applies to standard attack, only finishers. You probably had the standard stealth damage on unaware enemies.

Silence only gives bonus melee damage on aware enemies if you have the augment. If you do, then it's like having around 3 seconds of Radial Blind (or other sneak attack bonus opening method, like when enemies are standing up from knockdown) to perform a finisher attack or get a stealth melee attack bonus.

That said, you can extend the bonus damage/finisher window if an enemy is slowed while going through the animation as the bonuses won't wear off until they become aware of you and they are functionally deaf and blind and (provided they're within Silence's aura) numb to incoming damage. Works pretty nicely with Gloom if you can manage the energy expenditure.

Yes, this ability does disable enemy Necramech's abilities.

If the only way a frame has to improve its survivability is to replace one of its abilities, then the frame needs fixing.

It already substantially buffs Banshee's survivability by preventing nearly every enemy and boss under its umbrella from using any of their special abilities (grenade tosses, summons, riplines, slams, etc). Further, it can be easily reapplied by simply taking a step back and then a step forward to reapply the stun.

That said, this is Banshee. You have guns and Sonar, so fucking shoot them 'cause when they're dead they can't shoot back.

Shieldgating is a thing now so she is far more survivable than ever.

Before that Ive played her with aero dr mods but DE nerfed their stacking.

You can use cold procs, zenurik, or gloom just to name a few to slow down the stun.
