Melee Glass Cannon

The Banshee Norn is a Close Combat unit that specializes in dealing high melee damage accurately. It has a straightforward EX skill that deals 704% of its ATK as damage. Its Transcendent Skills also tie into its EX skill when at max Transcendent Level. At T5, the Banshee Norn starts matches with its EX gauge halfway filled, while also granting itself a 50% beam damage buff for 25 seconds after using its EX skill. Other Transcendent skills include a 36% beam damage buff and a 25% accuracy buff.

As for the rest of its skills, it benefits from both a 42% accuracy buff and an 81% beam damage buff for the first 25 seconds of combat.

One thing that this mobile suit lacks is any form of defense. That said, it's quite easy to take down when it draws aggro. Use this alongside the Gyan to avoid drawing aggro, or position it in a manner where it won't get targeted by opponents. Think twice before fielding this unit against Char's Z'Gok without Gyan, as this is a Gundam-Type unit that'll draw aggro even from a flanking initial position.

The Banshee Norn is one of the best accurate melee fighters that can take down high evasion mobile suits. It's great in that regard, but when played solely as a DPS when there's no evasive threat on the enemy team, it gets overshadowed by the actual kings of the DPS units. Its damage will pale in comparison to some of the game's strongest offensive mobile suits. Only use the Banshee Norn if there's an evasive opponent that you can't take out with your usual team, or if you don't have any of the higher-tiered DPS units.

Stronger When Transcended

The Banshee Norn's offensive prowess grows stronger when fully Transcended, improving its beam damage even more and starting matches with its EX gauge halfway full. It doesn't address its defensive issues, but it doubles down on its offense, allowing it to take down opponents faster. Without Transcendence, it loses out on 86% beam damage and 25% accuracy, which are key contributors to its high damage and high accuracy kit.

The Banshee Norn has a straightforward EX skill, and Unleashing its Potential isn't as important as it is in other units given that it's just a burst of damage that won't really affect the rest of its kit. Regardless, unleash its Potential whenever possible, as doing so grants a significant boost to its EX skill damage.

Best Upgrades

This mobile suit is a Close Combat unit, and the suggested Unit Enhancement allocations of mobile suits from this category vary highly depending on what kind of team you’re facing. Try to analyze what kind of issues you're having trouble with and then strategize accordingly.

Do note that allocating or reallocating your Unit Enhancement Points will not guarantee you a win, and it is a costly process too. Think twice before doing so to avoid wasting valuable resources.
