Stalker
Tactics
Stalker crytures are skilled in making swift strikes to bleed out enemies as they slip in and out of melee. Both Slash and Wounding Claw can inflict Wounded on a crit to deal ongoing damage. Pounce gives the Stalker a way to close into melee without losing an attack. To round it out, Toy With Prey lets them position themselves without triggering opportunity attacks, while also becoming Empowered to boost damage output.
