Banshee

Banshee is a new female zombie introduced during Zombie: The Hero: The Origins patch in Counter-Strike Online.

Background
No one has ever seen the Banshee before, there was only an ancient rumor about her. According to the rumor, the Banshee was a witch zombie that was put to death by leading the heathen group. It uses witchcraft to create confusion and has the ability to capture a target from long distances.

Overview
Banshee can be purchased via Pain Dominator set, which also purchases Bloody Blade skill for human.

The Banshee has 2 skills:


 * 1) Summons a flock of bats towards the targeted human to force them to the Banshee. This technique can be used again after cooldown and has limited range to do it. It can be used by pressing the G key by default. The flock of bats will begin to fall as it travels. This skill is called "Pulling".
 * 2) Banshees are able to disguise themselves as a human player and they can sneak up into a camping spot. Care must be taken so as to not be in a Voodoo Zombie's healing range, as the healing sign that shows up is a dead giveaway. This technique expires in several seconds and can be used again after cooldown. The key to active this skill is the number 5 button. This skill is called "Chaos" or "Confusion".

Disadvantage

 * Cannot use pulling skill when you are in a crouching status.
 * Low knockback resistance
 * Due to design of the hitbox of this zombie it is very easy to perform a headshot

Ability
It has ordinary abilities as a zombie, but it has two useful skills to be used as a long distance attack.

Pulling
Unleashes a flock of bats to a targeted human to attract them to the Banshee.

Chaos
Throw a grenade at the targeted human. Once exploded, the humans in the area will see all zombies are humans (default skins) for 5 seconds.

Tactics:

 * Use the Pulling skill to pull the humans which has the strongest weapon. Perfectly useful to take out Hero and Heroine.
 * Use the Confusion skill to make the humans as they thought the zombies were humans.
 * When using the pulling skill aim little upward from target as the bat will fly downward in range

Counters:

 * When you see the Banshee zombie is standing there, it indicates it may using Pulling skill. Shoot it tempoarily to make it retreat.
 * If you see a human but if he/she doesn't wield a gun, it indicates he/she is a zombie chasing you.
 * Confused humans will see different models, even the female skins are also transformed into default male models for temporary.
 * Banshee has a delay time while using the bat pulling skill, so please always take attention on banshee when it is standing there and looking for targets.
 * When you see a teammate is pulled by a banshee, be sure bring your precious knives(nata, skull9)to kill it immediately because she can't wandering around or infect you!
