Stalker Prime

[EliIden]

Here is my idea of a Stalker that has strengthened his gear by some old Orokin Prime technology he discovered on Lua.

I don’t know any information about the stalker’s gender, so I’ll just assume the stalker is a male.

 

Changes

After emptying a boss’ health in steel path, the player has to press the interact button (x) to kill the boss and the stalker will warn the player by saying something like ‘you will pay for this’

Than the player shall receive a death mark

 

Each boss will only drop a death mark once before the player kills four other different bosses to prevent a poor boss being killed repeatedly

 

New weapon effects

Dread Prime: enemy hit by dread prime will be inflicted by 1-3 stacks of fear effect depending on the charge time. Each stack reduces 15% of the victim’s damage. When the fear stacks go above 3 each extra stack will create an energy arrow which has a high punch though and will automatically attack the nearest unit in a certain range no matter if it is an ally. When an enemy with 3 stacks of fear is killed by any source of damage, it will generate one more energy arrow. Enemies hit by an energy arrow will also be inflicted by one stack of fear. 

 

Despair Prime: not like the regular despair, the trigger mode is charged instead of auto shooting and it has a default multishot of 200%. The aiming is like Mesa’s peacemaker which is a circle aiming range and will continuously narrow. Once released, despair prime will shoot 3 projectiles (come from multishot) which each of them is aimed at a random enemy in the circle aiming range and it will track its target until successfully hit the target, deflected by melee weapon or blocked by obstacles. 

 

Hate Prime: each hit that didn’t directly kill an enemy will gain one stack of hatred. With more than 10 stacks of hatred, heavy attack will create a wave similar to Excalibur’s exalted blade which deals the same amount of damage as the heavy attack itself and spends 10 stacks of hatred.

 

 

 

 

 

Boss fight:

Teshin will guide the player to face the stalker

 

On Lua a button appears, click it then Lua will rotate to the other side

The other side Lua has greater area of shade, in the darkest point there is a node call Shadow which can only be entered by player that possessed the Stalker Prime Death Mark

 

The “Shadow” node is the exact place where the stalker witnessed the tenno destroy the Orokin if that place is on Lua according to the lore.

 

The stalker is sitting in seiza right in the center of the hall, the War Blade is upright beside him.

Two random acolytes will then walk out from the darkness while stalker is standing up

(the stalker will remain invulnerable until all the acolytes are defeated)

 

During this phase, stalker will draws his long range weapons: Dread and Despair Prime and he will frequently shoot the tenno

When he is aiming with the player will be reminded by screen and sound effects. If it is the first time the player encounters that situation then the player will enter slow motion and there will also be a message to tell the player how to avoid getting hit

 

Dread Prime can not be block by melee it has a lower projectile speed when used by stalker so the player can dodge it by hiding behind obstacles or rolling at the right timing

 

Despair Prime can track the player so the player has to either block the attack by melee or dodge at a very precise timing. Using melee’s auto blocking will cause the player to be stumbled but blocking in melee mode won’t

 

During this stage stalker will frequently teleport around the arena, shooting at him will disable this ability.

 

After every acolytes are defeated, the stalker is no longer invulnerable

 

Stalker Prime has his health bar split into four parts. With each part emptied he will replenish all of his shield. This is similar to Jackals’.

 

Stalker no longer immune to warframe abilities and status, he will recover from it by his Rolling Guard ability

My idea is that most of the regular tactics can still work, although not as effective as normal deal to stalker’s resistance and counter attack

 

 

 

 

Stalker Prime Abilities

Charge

Stalker dashes towards the player, dealing damage when player is close to his route and extra damage for direct hit

 

War Charge(Charge Variant)

Used when the stalker is using the War Blade or the player doing any attack while being invisible

Stalker will do a longer animation before dashing toward the player, deals more damage than normal version

If the player is directly hit by War Dash, the stalker will do a finisher animation on the Warframe and instantly kill it.

Since this move can instantly kill the player, the direct hit hit box should be smaller, at least not as big as the grab attack of the kuva liches.

 

Smoke Screen

Only used when the Warframe uses durational abilities that requires targeting, for example Mesa’s peacemaker

The stalker cannot use any ability during the effect and attacking will end the effect

 

Dispelling Wave

The stalker creates multiple waves similar to Baruuk’s Serene Storm that will nullify the Warframe abilities 

(replacement of stalker’s original dispel ability)

 

Rolling Guard

The stalker rolls and recovers from any control ability, status effect and becomes invincible for a few seconds. It has a cool down

 

Melee Counter

Once the player has dealt some damage to him in close combat. The stalker will use Hate Prime to stagger the player and follow by a few hits.

During the stalker’s combo, the player can press the interact key(default x) before each hit in order to stop Hate Prime by the parazon and break his combo

 

Gunblade Counter

Any bullet shot by a gunblade will be dodge if there is a distance between the player and stalker

 

Adaptation

The sentient adaptation will activate more frequently and will grant the stalker high damage reduction to the damage type that dealt the most damage to him and let him become immune to the corresponding status effect.

War Blade 

The Stalker will draw his War Blade when ¾ of his health is depleted

Hi, I'm not interrested on Stalker Prime sorry,

Its how i feel

From stalker, to hunhow stalker, to hunhow stalker prime, next hunhow stalker prime grineer

Id just update the hunhow stalker, make him an actual fight

And maybe give us an assassination mission for him cause hes a problem. The mission becomes avaliable after you get all his weapons and such, get rewarded something special for it and he stops bothering you in missions

He becomes a bit pointless to encounter once you have everything from him

Here is my idea of a Stalker

Technically stalker already is a prime. A prime in this game basically means it’s one of the first ones made from orokin technology. Stalker was an orokin guard. Therefor he was already of orokin origin and clearly more powerful than most other frames. His weapons are probably the same way. Just cause he isn’t covered in gold like other primes doesn’t make him any less of a prime.

 

Think about the Paracesis. Some people think it’s a sentient weapon but it is not. Others think it’s a Tenno gen weapon, but nope, still incorrect. It is an orokin weapon. It’s not called a prime cause there is no inferior version of it made from anywhere else out of different materials than the superior orokin. There’s no other like it. Just like the new glass sword is pure orokin. Therefor we will never see a prime version of it either. 
 

The stalker is technically a prime cause he is of orokin origin. His shadow stalker design is like that of Umbra. His helmet is very different too. But the story was that he removed the horn from his face cause he didn’t want to have any relation to the ones he believed that killed his own kind. 
 

The warframe armor you see is not really armor. It’s their skin. That’s their entire body. So stalker won’t be able to just upgrade to a superior body. He can’t use transference like the Tenno. Nor can he speak clearly due to being a warframe. Supposedly he was a lab rat used for Transference and was put into the body of an Excalibur warframe. Unlike with the Tenno who are of separate mind and body using a sort of telepathic link to their frame, the body of stalker IS stalker. Also umbra created the skiajati(umbra Nikana) from his own body. So stalker could have easily done the same with his Hate, Dread, and Despair. 
 

So unless DE decides to expand on his origin some more, he technically already is of Prime origin/technology. But he is unique and there is none like him, therefor not called a prime. Plus he doesn’t want to be associated with the other frames due to his hatred of them. He is basically the same as the Paracesis.

In regards to equipping your crew with your weapons, what if i want all of them to rock multiple sybarises?  Do I have to make multiple?  Also is it just primary or both secondary and primary weapons?

Technically stalker is just an exca with different helm so the prime version would be exca prime body and some gold details in the helm, the abilities sounds interesting tho
