What I've Learned (About The Stalker) Today

Recommended Posts

1. The Stalker seems to have collected poison from the deadliest creatures in the known universe and coated his Hate scythe with it because its damage now bypasses shields and will kill you in one hit if you have less than 400 health (RIP my lvl 24 Zephyr).

 

2. I cant even remember the last time I killed Vay Hek, so the only logical conclusion is that the Stalker is high on potenuse.

1) My guess is that isn't poison damage but slash damage, since that does go though shields as well, though they may have upgrading his killing ability.

 

2) I think the name it displays there is either random, or random from the bosses you have ever killed in your history playing Warframe.  (So, the Stalker mark doesn't keep track of which bosses you killed, simply how many you killed.)

Do you have a Dread?

 

As an experiment in a Dual inside of a Dojo. put only Pointstrike on the bow (to give it the 100% crit chance to see this) and shoot another tenno in the face with it.

 

Look at the Crit-Headshot damage (specifically headshot, because if that arrow so much as GRAZES my warframe helmet, im out a revive) for a full-charge shot.

 

That is why he can still be terrifying. And why i make it a point to get in as close as possible. That Bow is MADE to kill Warframes, and it is EXCEEDINGLY efficient at it.

 

 

:to give you an idea for a regular unmodded crit with the dread: its 400 points before resistances and weaknesses come into play. That is generally the ballpark for a Crit Body-shot. I do not recal the damage multiplyer for scoring a crit on a "weak area" on a target, but it further Multiplies the 400 Upwards

 

depending if you are client or host, head-shot damage has been known to bounce between 2-4x normal critical damage. What warframe do you have that can take 800-1600 points of damage in ONE shot? Especially if bleed procs?

 

Unless you had Ironskin or blessing up (and he didnt loldispel you) you are going to be down for the count if he gets a headshot.

 

This is why you either RUN and zigzag/waveslide or get VERY CLOSE but out of his Hate range and cicle-strafe/sprint around him.

-stuff about Dread-

*uses Shadows of the Dead on thread*

 

I have Dread and know how ridiculous its crits are, but I was definitely killed by his Hate (so punny). As the Stalker spawned, I got knocked down from behind by a Shockwave MOA and, just as I was about to fully stand up, I watched in slow motion as he appeared in front of me, twirled his scythe, and dug into my side. My lvl 24 Zephyr instantly lost all of her 390 health (there was no time for Slash procs) and the Stalker went on his merry way. Luckily, I had a revive, but there was literally nothing I could've done (other than strap a GoPro to the back of my head) to prevent my death.

 

This was just an unlucky encounter and I felt like making a thread to joke about it.

The last time Stalker got me was on my Zephyr ages ago. I was in the middle of a tailwind and he slash dashed through the air with me. It was like Sonic and Knuckles. Except he hit me and my Zephyr's body flew with such force and momentum she hit the wall, slid, and then bounced off the floor a good few yards. I could do nothing but laugh.

The stalker is not a challenge it's all about who can instigib who first.

 

Veterans need to realize that not everyone is at their level. Not everyone is sporting a brakk/boltor Prime or a heavily forma and catalyst weapon with max damage mods. They are not the 'average' player.

 

I hope when U13 comes out it would be cool to actually be able fight him toe to toe with our melee weapon, in a ultimate test of skill, and not a you die by one swing gg.

Only tactics i can offer. USE SOMA. If you get Dread blueprint Hope you can use it on him next time (killed by his own weapons, oh the irony) True story...it was an accident in a solo mission was lvling up my dread (23 i think) killed him 1shot (its possible because of fkin 125% crit dmg)

He killed my 935/430 Mag with one toss of a despair knife once.
Sometimes he appears with red flashes, sometimes he appears with the normal lights flickering.  What's up with that?  I feel like hellmode stalker comes when its the red flashes.

I'd actually like to fight him, not have a counterstrike who turns the corner and shoots first wins.  its either I dodge like crazy on any frame so I don't get one shotted (haven't fought him on valk) or I'm with 3 people and he dies before we can empty our clips.

These days I don't even know what abilities I can use/not use/shouldn't bother with around the hunter bosses.
