A while back, not sure when, it was confirmed that Stalker's helmet is that of Excalibur. From a game design standpoint, it was probably easier for the China build to slap on golden pieces on the base Stalker model and add a scarf.
As for lore theories, I for one believe that the Stalker is a dax with no master, altered by none other than Ballas. An experiment that is a combination from what he learned from the warframe project and what makes a dax. This could translate to the creation of Umbras, where the operator potentially takes the form of an Umbra.
As for what is sacrificed, Ballas may have already paid that price, but not with his own life. But that's just my brain doing a thing.
Yeah you're right, doing that would be quite easier...
And yeah, I have heard a lot talking about this whole thing with Umbra being a sorta...combination between an operator and a warframe, merging into one or something like that...

Wow ANOTHER Umbra thread, go post in the Mega thread please.
yeah, another one, I'm not even mad about this I don't want to talk or hear about Umbra anymore honestly. This is more about Shadow Stalker and his Umbra relation and stuff....
don't know if I can delete this thread but I'll be fine with it going into the Megathread...didn't even know there's a megathread about this whole Umbra thing but I'm sure there are A LOT of threads about umbra.
-
Yeah...don't know what I was thinking, here it is, another post about Umbra, I think it is quite obnoxious already and I can't believe I'm SORTA joining in...
I don't want to talk about or hear much about it anymore but I'm just curious with the whole Shadow Stalker's relation to Umbra because of some quite obvious details and well...golden wishbones.
1) Why do I think Shadow Stalker is related to... Umbra?
Well, I'll just show 2 pictures, one of Shadow Stalker and one of the recently released Excalibur Umbra teaser from TennoCon, which is pretty much the one from the doomed China Warframe...like just, an exact copy, with the whole golden thingies and all that stuff which I will talk about later.
SHADOW STALKER:
EXCALIBUR UMBRA:
If you look closely and I'm sure a lot of people have noticed already, maybe I'm just speaking the OBVIOUS but yeah, there are quite a lot of resemblances between Shadow Stalker and Excalibur Umbra, originated from Warframe China and in the teaser in Tennocon.
Look at their chest, they both have the exact same "wish bone" mark.
They also have cloth pieces stuck onto them, Stalker's crotch pieces looking more Sentient like Hunhow accessories though, after inspecting closely through the codex, I think they are really a part of Shadow Stalker warframe, but who knows, I could be wrong.
But all in all, I feel safe to say that it's highly possible that Shadow Stalker is an Umbra.
Though, it all brings me to my other contemplations.
2) Why is Excalibur Umbra has golden parts when Shadow Stalker doesn't...AT ALL?
I originally heard that the Excalibur Umbra originally shown in the Warframe China's video, it was going to Excalibur Umbra PRIME, being the equivalence to Excalibur Prime, Founder Pack in the World Build.
But as some of you may know, Warframe China is closing REALLY SOON cause of playercount problems. So I suppose DE has access to that warframe now...
And I guess they just...used it as the Excalibur Umbra?
I mean, it makes me wonder, if Shadow Stalker is an Umbra (with all the resemblances to Excal umbra in Sacrifice teaser)...why doesn't he have all the golden wishbones and crazy golden trimmings and stuff?
I really thought what we were going to get is a warframe that looks like SHADOW STALKER, without all the gold wishbones and Stalker helmet and stuff...and the one from Warframe China is the PRIME of it...
Maybe, there are reasons, maybe what DE used in the Sacrifice teaser is Excalibur Umbra PRIME and the normal version isn't shown yet, maybe it is because Warframe China ending, DE had the access to that warframe and well, used it to make the trailer and in reality, they haven't even started on modelling their own version of Excalibur Umbra :/
Heck I don't even know, but I hope there's a reason, maybe I'm just thinking too hard on it, maybe DE just didn't really care about those details? We'll see when it comes to it I suppose. I'm not trying to nitpick DE or anything, they do good job and they have been working on PoE a lot so, idk.
3) Sacrifice?
There are already tons of predictions and stuff about that. But let's look at the Stalker.
Before Hunhow and all of his razzle dazzles, Stalker was just...an Excalibur with a different helmet in black and red, edgy colors.
And when he came to Hunhow, DE gave him a different look that is VERY similar to Excalibur Umbra (the chest wishbone mark and other stuff). Maybe Stalker DID sacrifice something to become like that.
Maybe he sacrificed his weapons? his original Excalibur form? his soul?
I don't know, some of the theories from other people I think are quite damn crazy honestly. Sacrificing Operator? Crazy...
could be true, could be not.. I don't really care about it too much really. Maybe we'll just have to sacrfice a non-primed warframe, like Mesa for Mesa Umbra, Loki for Loki Umbra and etc etc...
I suppose that's all I got...

He turned into Corrupted Vor yes..
I really do want to know what's next for him....

As the Grineer's armor scales higher and higher, isn't the results in the OP going to change?
Weirdly...no, it kinda sủprises me that the higher the level, the harder it is for Nox to fight against a scrambus or comba, when their detron still does quite hefty dmg to Nox
Tho, ive only tested to level 60, not sure about like...100 or something

Actually toxin bypasses the staple defense of Corpus-shields.
The real problem is that the Nox ALSO bypasses Tenno shields.
And so Nox can't be too powerful or the community will not like it.
Which means that Corpus at range are going to have their way.
yeah, sometimes I do feel a bit selfish for wanting these sort of things, like TOTAL POWER FOR THE GRINEER, you know...
it hurts me, inside, because of these little things, I never asked to feel this way, this is becoming really bad for me...
I just want to see Nox wrecks one Skater bugger...god dammit.
It hurts that there's this little gas releaser thingy on his glass helmet that doesn't even do anything, originally I thought it was going to be used to like...release gas into the path he walks on and such but nope, it's just there and it bugs me....I had to make up some stuff to ease the pain.

Ye, it makes 100% sense that the Scrambus and Comba, with a lot of their configurations, would demolish Nox. Nox has a fixed skillset, he tanks and and he charges and he fires exploding sludge. Scrambus and Comba are so diverse in skillset and much more adaptable. They also do a lot more damage than Nox. The reason Nox is a problem for Tenno is because he hits straight through shields, which we use as a buffer to taking actual health damage, this makes him very dangerous to Tenno. To Scrambus and Comba even, they are far too maneuverable and deal more damage per second than the Nox, he doesn't really stand much of a chance the more they get on in levels.
when you put it like that, yeah
I do have to admit, I have been in a HUGE denial pit, it's not even WORTH IT...
I know Scrambuses are...well...counter to Nox...Hell even Nox has troubles fighting against Combas (Scrambus without skaters ) after level 30...
at level 25 though, Nox completely wrecks all of them I tell you.
But yeah, Scrambuses, they're very mobile and have...homing weapons, they're very equipped with the right things to fight against Nox.
I just really wish they'd par equally with each other, you know...

In stalkers codex entry it said that stalker was a lower guardian when the tenno killed the orokin, so he couldnt be a dax. Sorry for debunking your big theory with a little research, also the dax are the highest ranking orokin soldiers or one of them, so they wouldnt be with the lower guardians.
he may or may not be a Dax, lower guardian, we know nothing of all that yet.
Honestly, there isn't much...documentary for us to research.
In my opinion, Stalker was an Orokin, maybe a soldier too but not a "highest ranking orokin soldier" Dax, as said by you.
I guess Stalker was that and when that day happened...he went into a transference machine or something and well, pretty much woke up as a stalker.
But as you know, there are all these crazy talks about transference disruption and weird crazy mental stuff with transference, affecting the minds of warframe users. In the Chains of Harrow quest for example, weird transference crazy mental stuff went on there.
Of course I don't think it's fair to assume that that and stalker are in the same scenario. Maybe Stalker's operator didn't have void powers and transference stuff so when he connected with a warframe, his mind became corrupted and as time passes, his consciousness and mind become seared into the warframe, creating the Stalker.
To finalize what I said, Stalker was an orokin whaever dude who happened to recklessly entered transference without the suitable requirements out of hate, resulting in his mind getting completely transfered to the warframe (Stalker) and stuff.
I don't want to think the Stalker as a kid like us, sleeping somewhere and thinking about emo stuff.

After encountering a lvl 110 eximus nox I can say that at higher levels the nox wins. I could one shot sortie scrambus' with the Tigris prime. But it took almost 20 headshots with the Tigris prime to kill a nox of the same level.
I did say that practically, Nox is a lot more durable than the Modular Corpus skaters, I fully know that it takes a lot more bullers to kill them.
Despite that, in this case...I am talking about the scenario where Nox and Skater fight each other...
yeah...
Also, Nox Eximus, I haven't tested that yet but cause I don't have scans of them but yknow it's an eximus of Nox. a level 110 one that's what you were dealing with :|

I just like that you pit enemies against each other in gladiator fights in the simulacrum for fun

The Detron does radiation damage with is good against grineer. The nox does toxin damage which is eh against corpus. The Detron is also much faster than the nox and the modular corpus (scrambus and the like.) are more maneuverable. It makes total sense.
I know, those damn skaters are equiped with everything to battle against Nox, good mobility, fast as hell, HOMING weapons!?
I really just want them to...par with each other you know, it's just quite irritating to see Nox, so much more vulnerable and inefficient when it comes to facing those scrambuses....
and bloody hell, even against the Comba, the scrambuses without rollerkskates, they still suffer, just to a...lesser extent.
and I tell you, it just keeps getting worse and worse as their level gets bigger, Nox just keeps becoming more and more of a bad match to them...
And I don't know about the Swarmer detron dealing Radiation dmg, the wiki says so but I've only seen them procing Blast, knocking enemies down and stuff...
yeah...

Ok...before I say anything that may or may sound bloody ridiculous to you all, I want to clarify that I love Warframe and this little problem of mine isn't even something that's...like..big. It's quite a stupid personal ordeal I have with things in Warframe that even I know it's stupid but despite of that, I still find it so darn irritating. Why am I sharing this? I honestly don't know but I guess it's just something I want to discuss with...other people than my internal self...goddammit, okay here we go.
All this, may seem laughable and yeah, i definitely know so, you can laugh at what I'm about to say and mock me or whatever but i hope you can understand and hopefully...relate with me just somewhat..right...
I love Warframe, most of it is because of the unique and awesome enemies and factions in the game, this may sound surprising to some of you guys but I really don't give as much damn about the Tenno as I do about the Grineer and Corpus, Grineer to a much bigger extent, I love the Grineer, I just bloody love them.
I'm a veteran in Warframe and after long hours of cutting and chopping through hordes of enemies, I got quite bored of that. Not bored to the point of wanting to quit Warframe or anything. I found something better to do with my time in Warframe and it is to...observe the aesthetics of the world of Warframe. It gets really personal overtime, it hurts.
So, when Nox came out, I thought to myself that things are going to be great, Nox is going to be awesome and I am going to have quite a lot of fun with him in the Simulacrum.
So things basically went, Nox kills everything until the Scrambuses and Combas. Because in my eyes they're like...the Corpus equivalent of Nox, yeah? So this tiny little thing pops up, Nox started to pretty much...become a nuisance to the Scrambuses and Combas after level 30, the ones with Detron and Angstrum at least, they pretty much destroys Nox everytime.
And it bugs me that...why is this happening, you know? Cause Nox don't really spawn all that much, the Scrambus and Comba on the other hand, are quite a handful and...Oh man I don't even know anymore. Maybe I'm just bias?
Practically...Nox is way more tankier and prove to be a more of a pain to the Tenno than the Scrambuses and Combas with their damn hoverskates and god damn homing weapons, regenerating shield and all that fanciness....Do have to admit, the Detron that they use...deal a BUNCH of damage.
I suppose sometimes, there are things that are...illogical in warframe and don't really matter much at all that really REALLY bug me.
So yeah...I dont know why I am making a thread like this, bashing my stupid problems in your face, of course anybody can choose to not read my stupid rant but...yeah...
I suppose that's...that...oh man, all this, making a thread sharing my personal problem...in my head, I envisioned it to be much better than this, i made quite a bad case but heck, I ain't hurting nobody. I mean it's probably not even Warframe design's fault, like I said...personal.
I still like Nox way better than those ridiculous-looking skaters. Though it hurts thinking that they, those bloody hippies, are very capable to taking out Nox...after level 30 at least...yeah.
BEST SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM O' MINE: Nerf them bloody skaters, at least tone down the damage the deal with their Swarmer Detrons...jeez.

This is one of the nicest pieces of art I've seen, but it's not my favorite because it's BALLAS AND HOLY
HE GAVE ME FREAKIN NIGHTMARES THAT FACE LOOKS LIKE A GUYS WHO'D EAT YOUR CAT AND SMILE ABOUT IT WITH THE BLOOD RUNNING FRESH FROM HIS TEETH AWWW GOD
Edit: Ballas aside, it's a really nice art style, and i like how you did the hair!
hehe, danka, yeah he's creepy alright
I mean not THAT creepy, I'd hug him for sure. just not the way i really thought he'd look like :/

without the whole braid-y hair thingy in the concept art, this is how I imagine him to be at least.

I think they are a little too tanky to be honest. They should either:
A: Make it so their helmet glass breaks easier.
or
B: Make it so they take more damage from headshots once their glass is broken and their head exposed.
They definitely should not do both as that would make them too easy to kill.
Being harder to headshot is fine, but right now I think it's too much. You have to chew through what feels like a heavy gunners worth of HP without headshots, in order to chew through a bombard's worth of HP with headshots. Too bullet spongy for my taste. Everything else seems fine though.
Theyre not that tanky,

I like that they are tough but unlike armor scaling which can be removed with corrosive these guys have no way of taking away their damage reduction, which means by level 200, 300, + there will be no way to kill them.
Level 200 and 300 though!?

I like the Nox grineer unit, only thing I don't like is how much resistances he has (against all elements) yet he does toxic dmg so why is he immune to all, I was literally in Hydron and wasted 50+ shots from Simulor which I had 100% status and my beautiful riven and still didn't kill him, though of course it's just a small rant and not that big a deal not everyone is using pure elemental weapons like simulor in most loadout slots which is honestly just a weapon(s) I use to help level other gear in defense missions, just feels like for this particular unit they're giving the finger to all weapons that are pure elemental and have no puncture, slash etc etc.
Well, i can see how that can be slightly annoying but honestly though...he's a tank, it's supposed to be a bit hard to take him down...dunno bout you but i hate it when i am able to just slash through everything, one shot everything.

the new aura isnt even worth using.
Its like DE doesn't want anyone to use anything beside energy siphon or corrosive projection. If everyone in the whole team uses Toxin resist then you take half damage from toxin... great. Only way it would even be considered a usable aura is if it gave 100% toxin resistance.
Yes, the new aura is not worth it at all...it's too...specialized.

Nox, newest enemy into the game, at first I really thought that the design direction for him didn't exactly look TOO grineer-ish to me, the design didn't really have a whole lot of that...organic look to it. But the design is really growing on me!
But i don't know, don't think that's relevant right now, just wanted to say so.
what I REALLY wanted to talk about is...well, I consider talking about this is a bit...controversial so please...bear with me, this is a bit of a personal rant I think, I hope a lot of people can understand where I'm coming from, probably not.
NOX
probably my favorite enemy in game right now. I have a strange hobby when it comes to playing warframe, it's not generic and repetivie shoot-em-up that gets quite boring after a while but it's observing. I love observing enemies and their aesthetics and designs, I love watching battles between factions, especially Grineer vs Corpus, it makes the universe feels a lot more alive.
Alright. what I want to say is...I REALLY HOPE THAT THE COMMUNITY AND DE DON'T SCREW UP NOX.
I think Nox's state in the game right now is quite alright. he's only a bit more durable than bombards and gunners that's really all, just got a few more tricks in his sleeves that I don't think are big problems.
Why am I thinking like that? It's rather strange but I really do not want to see Nox deals like...i don't know, 5 damage per glob or something.
I mean, just look at MANIC. They reduced the spawn rate to nothing, reduced their damage and durability to S#&$e...basically took away almost everything they have which is a SHAME....I miss when Manics were actually menacing and weren't a joke, that they could make you flinch with their intimidating entrance and threat...
So yeah...I hope you all can see why I don't want the community and players to complain about Nox for issues that aren't even big deals, Like Manic...
Speaking of OBSERVING, DE ruined Lua Crossfire node...it used to be where I go to spectate a fair and square battle between Grineer and Corpus.( feels weird typign that out).. But now they gotta replace the good old grineer with FRONTIER ones with their Karaks and pretty much wreck everything....I'm sure a lot of us know why, them karak-wielding grineer are tough...I don't suppose this is a big deal but yeah...bothers me a lot..
Also. GRINEER EARTH REMASTER. I'm just a bit disappointed about the whole thing. I remember Steve replying to a tweet asking about if the Earth remaster is going to recieve some....worker type grineer...like bio-scientists, study flowers and stuff...You know, like Drudges on Ceres Shipyard Remaster? Yeah...those were the REAL DEALS, the real selling point to the whole Shipyard remastic. Guess DE scrapped that whole idea...a shame really..Or maybe they'll add new.

The card game was used only once, and it was a nice touch on the context.
Also, Operators are basically the core of the lore now. They are required to do things by themselves, not just with their containers. Once in a while during quests is not bad at all (although I use them quite a lot in Kuva missions).
oh you use them a lot in KUVA missions? I'm so surprised man!
I meant no offense, but OF COURSE YOU'D NEED TO USE OPERATOR A LOT IN KUVA MISSIONS
sorry.

At high levels this guys seems impossible, even after stripping all of his armor breaking his helm, still can't seem to kill this guy without emptying magazine after magazine into his face or beating on him for quite a while with melee...
I think they're good where they are. I just hope the community doesn't screw this dude over like how they did with MANIC...oh man how I miss old MANIC, I miss the whole menacing tone and feel to them and how they are an actual threat to us, now they hit like paper and it's such a joke just because Warframe players couldn't handle a bit of a challenge.
HONESTLY...I really hope they don't mess with these guys, I mean they are just a bit more durable than bombards or whatever, nothing too major...
