Normally an advanced player will have a high enough damage output that in a fight between them and the Stalker, who wins depends on who gets the other in his sights first. In later updates, registers damage oddly.That being said, stop moving for even a second and he will kill you. The only reason he might miss is because he tends not to lead targets. He is also extremely accurate, with constant evasion being the only way to avoid being killed immediately.He can switch between primary and secondary weapon without being hindered by a switch animation (being able to fire his bow and throw throwing knives at virtually the same time). He has unlimited energy, allowing him to endlessly chain his abilities. Even being invisible won't stop him detecting you. The Stalker is programmed to register abilities being activated and will downright spam his dispel ability to deactivate them.Somewhat tellingly, he's switched back to his default form by the time of The New War. If you do, he goes down almost as quickly as before, and like all Sentients, if you've completed The War Within, one blast from your Operator powers will reset his resistances. His only advantage over his previous form is his Sentient-type hit points, wherein he slowly gains a 90% damage reduction throughout the fight if you don't bring a varied arsenal of elemental damage types. He can throw grenades, but his throwing arc is slow and he's terrible at leading his shots. His Teleport Spam is dialed back tremendously, and he doesn't seem to use Shuriken or Absorb. All of his weapons have been traded in for War, but War's Sword Beams are much slower and brightly visible compared to Dread and Despair, and War's blade isn't really an improvement over Hate. Clipped-Wing Angel: Shadow Stalker, the "upgraded" version of Stalker after The Second Dream, is less threatening than his original form in almost every way.

The New War subverts the build-up, though he's still totally loyal to Hunhow, and even aids the Tenno substantially in stopping Ballas. In Operation: Shadow Debt, Stalker trains six acolytes of his own, armed and deadly with custom weapons and power sets, with the implication that he could easily create more if left unchecked.

After the quest, you get a broken version of the sword and the Stalker will drop the blueprints for the full version. BFS: During and after the Second Dream quest he wields a big.On a background level, the reason for his hatred of the Tenno seems to come from the fact that they destroyed the Orokin, his old masters. He's meant to give players pause in between them mindlessly stomping the likes of Vor for blueprints and materials, and his absurdly low spawn rate barely helps his purpose. Players tend to first meet him at the time they reach a high enough rank and power level to farm said bosses. That all of them are assholes does not give him a moment's pause.
Avenging the Villain: The Stalker marks players for death after they kill one of the bosses.Shadow Stalker is even worse, blindly rushing at his target whenever his grenades are on cooldown, and with almost no ability to lead his shots. The only real way to be killed by the Stalker when he's focused on someone else is to either stand in the line of fire or the path of his slash dash. Artificial Stupidity: The Stalker flat out ignores any other Tenno aside from his chosen target, allowing other Tenno in the squad to beat him down without retaliation.Amnesiac Dissonance: The revelation that he may or may not be no different from what he fights in The Second Dream screwed him up.In fact, it's quite possible that even he doesn't know the truth. However, his Codex entry refers to him as a "low guardian," and it's been speculated that instead of a Tenno, he is a normal human using Transference. Ambiguous Situation: It's implied he's some sort of rogue Tenno, meaning that the Stalker you fight is actually a warframe that he is controlling remotely via Transference.From his appearance and weapons, it's speculated but has not been explicitly confirmed that he might be a rogue Tenno. A mysterious assassin in black and crimson armor who invades the missions of Tenno after they have killed at least one boss, no matter how bizarre or hateful they are, with the stated aim of avenging said boss and punishing the killer.
