Overview

Banner Bunker is a very tanky bunker build with less defensive support than a Bunker Guardian. It attempts to make up with this with it's plethora of CC and Battle Standard.

Note that this build is supposed to replace bunker guardian on your team - if your team has both one of you must change builds or class (likely you).
