OtakuTom1992 Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 So I had two ideas for the design stage of Grineer enemies this was going to be the one I picked but when the update with Kubrow arrived I scrapped it and did a new one INTRODUCING THE GRINEER BACKSTABBER: This Grineer unit has undergone extreme cybernetic augmentation to the point where he is all machine. Inside this robotic shell is a heart and brain still been kept alive by the machines life support. It has a built in cloaking device which it will have active for a majority of the time, it will stalk any hostile it's detected and follow them by crawling along the walls or ceiling. These units are equipped with short nikana which they use with deadly skill, should they get behind you they will perform a deadly backstab which deals damage directly to health if the target is unaware the damage is doubled. In combat the Backstabber is very nimble able to perform feats like the Tenno and Corpus Hyena units. Jumping from wall to wall and evading/parrying rounds fired upon them. They are highly resistant to slash damage, so the best way to take them down is with puncture weaponry. They have no ranged abilities and rely on their speed and dual nikana to close the distance and deal damage. They often work in pairs once discovered one will flank while cloaked and the other will draw the fire and attempt to close the distance. They have a very high chance to parry weapon fire.
Archistopheles Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 I'd be fun to see the Butchers and Flameblades get reworked into a hybrid of this design, and their existing one.

Think it's a unit the Grineer are missing one that will pose a challenge to Tenno with constantly jumping around the room parrying shots fired at them.
