Wraiths can be built at the [[Banished Foundry|Foundry]] by all Banished [[leader]]s. 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 110 energy, Ironclad Wraiths cost 140 energy, and Terror Wraiths cost 150 energy. Ironclad Wraiths agro all nearby damage from enemy units and Terror Wraiths reduce enemy units armor. | Wraiths can be built at the [[Banished Foundry|Foundry]] by all Banished [[leader]]s.
