It’s seriously pitiful. Meteors, Rage, Hypernova… these banes give AURA. Those banes give life to the enemies. Healing is a really good one too. The enemies look more powerful and are fun to fight against. “Protected” enemies, are absolutely pathetic. The most pitiful thing I’ve seen in any game I’ve ever played. It’s like the Vanguard trapped them in shield emitters and we’re only setting them free. “Frontal Shield” banes make the enemies look like they’re from the shooting range, those shields don’t look natural at all. Bungie should keep that bane but change its appearance on each faction enemy to make it look more natural. Or get rid of it for something else. However, “Protected” banes… I won’t cry about it, I’d just say that !they’re really ugly! and it looks like they are Vanguard shield emitters, not shields the enemy factions created themselves. They are so ugly!!! They’re atrocious smh omg. It’s like I’m fighting the Vanguard when I see those things and I don’t want to do that when I’m fighting the Fallen. That’s why they should rework these two banes. Either change their appearance or get rid of them. Replace them with banes that look and act like Meteors, Rage, and Hypernova. Those are the BEST ones, they’re really fun to play with and make for good stories. Frontal Shields and Protected make the enemies look stupid. All the others banes make them look stronger. Anyway that’s what I got after playing 10 Grandmaster Alerts against “Protected” enemies.
