Seeker

Seekers are tactical Grineer units with yellow-green armor and darker markings. Aside from using the Kraken pistol, they will also deploy Latchers. This ability makes them unlikely to get into the front lines like any regular Grineer unit. More durable than regular Grineer Lancers, these can be versatile opponents. The Kraken-armed variant will deal -20.33% reduced damage to warframe health at -3.11% armor mitigation (i.e., armor value is increased by +3.11% for the damage calculation), but +34.44% increased damage to warframe shields, as is characteristic for their prevalent damage type being Impact as 75% of the total damage. Due to this and their high base damage, they can deplete shields by large chunks with each shot, and are still a strong threat to health.
 * In the Grineer Settlement and Grineer Forest, Arid Seekers and Frontier Seekers are equipped with Viper pistols, an alternate helmet and camo armor.

The two Viper-armed variants deal -23.75% reduced damage to warframe health at +12.5% increased armor consideration and +27.5% bonus damage to warframe shields. This distribution is similar to their counterpart, the main differences are that armor protects slightly better against the Viper variant, and the Viper variant uses a more continuous damage output, as opposed to the burst-heavy Kraken.

Tactics

 * Due to their habit of hiding away from actual combat, they can be more likely to use terminals in order to sound alarms and cause lockdowns than other units.
 * This also means that you will often find to be constantly bombarded with Latchers from Seekers that you cannot see, requiring you to roll a lot.
 * Armed with a Kraken pistol, as said on its actual weapon statistics, a single Seeker can roughly match the damage output of two Grineer Lancers, if encountered at close combat.
 * And due to its very high Impact damage, his Kraken can easily take down even the highest Warframe shields in just a few bursts on higher levels, and fires it quicker than the even deadlier Ballista's Vulkar.

Tips

 * Arid Seekers can sometimes be found in quantities of 1-3 in Roche on Phobos.
 * Seekers can be found in large numbers in Outer Terminus on Pluto defense. 2-6 per wave. (When it is controlled by Grineer).
 * Plenty of Seekers can be found on Kiste - Ceres as there are at least 20 for every Mobile Defense location. (Controlled by Grineer).

Trivia

 * The Seeker was added to the game in the 2013 Valentine's Day update.
 * The Frontier Seeker was originally a Seeker with its visor always up and wearing all-grey armor.
