Banshees are Slayer monsters that require level 15 Slayer and earmuffs to kill. Additionally, banshees tend to frequently drop many different types of herbs. Mighty banshees are a higher-levelled alternative, if this is given as your Slayer assignment.
When banshees are killed with a normal contract, the player will get 3.1 experience points, and 18.6 on special contracts.

Strategy[edit | edit source]
Players should wear earmuffs, masked earmuffs, a Slayer helmet, or a Mask of Mourning/Helm of Keening when fighting banshees. Not having the required equipment will cause the player to take damage equal to 10% of their constitution level. Combat statistics and Agility are also reduced, which can be annoying for players wishing to use the shortcuts in the Slayer Tower.
Banshees use a magic attack which hits from a distance. Protect from Magic prayer will work against them, but most players are likely better off using armour with a high magic defence bonus, such as dragonhide armour.
Banshees are considered undead, so a salve amulet or salve amulet (e) will work. An ectoplasmator will also provide the player with Prayer experience.
Morytania legs 4 will provide a 10% boost to slayer experience if in the slayer tower and on task. A contract with Markus will provide even more additional slayer experience if the task is completed in the Slayer Tower.
Herbicide, Seedicide, Herb bag , the charming imp and a Gem bag are useful.
Champion's Challenge[edit | edit source]
Banshees are one of the 'races' who have lesser champions in the Champion's Challenge Distraction and Diversion. To fight the Banshee Champion, the player must kill banshees until one drops a Champion's scroll, a very rare drop.
Drops[edit | edit source]
The average Banshee kill is worth 1,791.76 coins.
