Strategy

Stalkers function like Assassin/Transmuter hybrids, using Fulsome Distillation to gather potions and Evaporate to disable enemies before moving in for the kill. Later, their Transmutations spells provide powerful melee combat capabilities, especially for species that excel in Unarmed Combat.

Species who make good Stalkers include Spriggans, Vampires, Merfolk, Sludge Elves, and Humans.

History

Prior to 0.8, Stalkers had Poison Magic instead of Transmutations.

The Stalker class will be entirely removed in 0.12.
