Fighting Stalker Solo, Any Tips?

[AkioKasai]

The newest Stalker is pretty... crazy, to say the least. I've tried a variety of things, between running, rolling, climbing things etc. while fighting him, but I just can't seem to down this guy if I'm alone.

 

Is there a certain element I should be bringing? Warframe perhaps? Whenever he shows up, I rarely get him down to even half health before he destroys me.

 

It seems like no matter how much I move, roll or parkour, he NEVER misses with his shots, so... I'm stumped. Any loadouts or tips anyone can give?

Valkyr's ulti can solo him what i've heard, never tried it, but it requires alot of time, other then that i dont know, hes pretty scary since u11

Well, what I do when I see the flickering screen, is I rush over to the nearest area, with a lot of space and obsticles. Of course it's also important that you go somewhere clear of other enemies. When you see him spawn, you run and keep running. Take cover as fast as possible. And from there on, you just shoot, dodge, and keep moving.

 

Thats the best advice I can give.

 

 

Edit: Most important, keep in mind that he is supposed to be able to kill you too, so don't expect it to be easy.

Always stay behind obstacles and run away from him while shooting him (active kiting)

When I'm Solo and the Stalker shows up, I find a room with windows, wait for him to appear or lure him there. Then I smash the windows and leave him trapped inside and run like a mofo away. Then I unlock the room and keep running.

 

Or I find a corner, curl up, and cry.

Lure him to a room full of corpus/grinner/infested.

 

or Run.

Valkyr's Hysteria can be taken away just like Iron Skin from Rhino with the taunt "Your TENNO powers are useless!" I suggest using Frost Prime and use snow globe. Sure it's a risk but your slowing him down and you could simply walk around him while shooting. Easy as cake.

[wastu_spartan]

if by any chance you are using frost, try to trap it with globe and then freeze , then attack him.

wise to use flow mod and streamline mod.

[jwya]

globe and freeze do not work

[Sir_Alex_Traffo]

I'd be happy just to meet and scan him, doesn't matter if I die after, lol

[razorbak92]

RUN! RUN! RUN @&#(&*@#$# RUN! LOL

 

That's the best way, by the way a Rhino can easy defeat him (muahahaha my rhino.)

[Fl4m3Ph03n1x]

How about trinity's ulti? or Nyx? Can he remove them too?

[Sir_Alex_Traffo]

Yep, blessing will heal you but won't make you invincible.

[Mama_Sasha]

I use a maxed Frost Prime and Orthos Prime and go fight him solo in melee only, works pretty well if you have modded your stuff just right.

You certainly need a Warframe that can tank just fine, and have it maxed ofcorse.

[BWS-1]

Using Ash and spamming him with Shiruken could work maybe? No need to be too accurate, thanks to the ability's feature, and I'd guess with a cheap energy cost and a fast build it would be possible to keep a rather safe distance while doing so.

Just prepare to press the revive button. Will need it later on. :)

Crit Build Soma, and Mag to fill up ur shields or Trinity to heal urself, that is best combo i opposed new stalker

Keep on the move while firing, sometimes he'll miss his shots with Dread this way. Not to mention it lessens the risk of eating a Slash Dash if you strafe while engaging him. Ideally Rhino, Frost / Prime and Trinity are probably the best options for taking Stalker apart. Since he readily cancels Tenno abilities and stuns in the process, you're better off relying on Redirection, Vitality, Vigor, Steel Fiber and Quick Thinking to bolster your survivability as much as possible. Though the invincibility granted by Blessing will be canceled near instantly, Trinity can use it to restore shields and HP if you find an opening.

Unfortunately, the more fragile frames are at a serious risk of being killed near instantly even if you're packing survivability mods, that's just the way it is. Same situation for new frames that you're ranking. His Slash Dash in particular deals phenomenal damage, and since there's no telling when he'll perform it, sometimes he'll just pull two in a row out of his &#! right out of the spawn and it's bad luck, game over if they connect.

Frames like Excalibur that have mobility options packed into their abilities (Excalibur's own Slash Dash for instance or Rhino's Charge) can use them to temporarily get away for a breather. Try luring Stalker into the midst of enemies before using this tactic, he'll potentially become distracted, giving you enough time to regenerate your shields and jump back into the fray.

As far as dealing damage goes you want to keep something on you at all times that can deal enormous burst damage and end the encounter as quickly as possible, Corrosive + Heat and Corrosive + Blast work well against him when slapped into something like the Brakk. Weapons like the Synapse and Boar Prime can be built to produce similarly devastating results.

Overall though the Stalker isn't supposed to be an opponent that you're meant to have a long drawn-out encounter with even with end-game setups. He's supposed to be a very real threat that can be defeated or succumbed to in a very short amount of time. You need to capitalize on having enough burst damage to take him down as soon as possible, or he'll turn you into Swiss Tenno very quickly with that nasty Slash Dash of his.

Can I get any tips on facing the Stalker solo? *In background, "I am your reckoning!"* Please I need a reply real soon! O.O

Thanks everyone for all the feedback! I'll be doing a bit of weapon hunting it seems!

[henrylwit]

iam using radial disarm and he looks funny lol. 

[Strike-Freedom]

Continuing from my previous post. You could just use a mag and pull him over redundantly.
