Design details
The Wraith designs built by the Eklon War-Forges are heavily modified designs originally employed by the Covenant empire. They feature additional armor plating and spikes, tabbed corners on new plates, energy shielding, raw metals and "war paint" to reflect the Banished's aggressive mentality in comparison to older Covenant Wraiths.

Armaments
Eklon'dal Workshop Wraiths are armed with a heavy plasma mortar and twin plasma cannons for use against ground and air targets. The plasma cannons are hidden underneath the armor. The mortar can be upgraded to a scorch mortar on select vehicles.

Variants

 * Wraith Invader: An APC variant of the Wraith.
 * Ironclad Wraith: A variant of Wraith equipped with ramming spikes and upgraded armor.

In March 2559 the Banished used Eklon'dal Workshop Wraiths against the crew of the UNSC Spirit of Fire on Installation 00. In June 2559 stolen Wraiths were used by the Flood against the Banished during the Outbreak on Installation 00. In October 2559 the Clan of the Long Shields used Wraiths against the Covenant loyalists and Keepers of the One Freedom during the Battle of Epsilon Clarion.

Halo Wars 2
Wraiths can be built at the Foundry by all Banished leaders. Unlike its Covenant counterpart from Halo Wars, the Banished Wraith in Halo Wars 2 starts off with an energy shield by default. Wraiths do well against infantry and vehicles, and okay against aircraft and structures. In Blitz Wraiths cost energy, Ironclad Wraiths cost  energy, and Terror Wraiths cost  energy. Ironclad Wraiths agro all nearby damage from enemy units and Terror Wraiths reduce enemy units armor.
