Bandit Stalkers are rather unimpressive units that rely on the proper matchup to serve a valid purpose.
The Gifted affinity, while weaker against defensive measures has a significant boost in damage when hunting Beast-types.
The Tainted affinity has a higher rate of piercing, giving an edge against foes with many defenses.Campaign PvE
The affinity that you choose to take with you will determine the kinds of foes you are gearing to fight.
- Gifted Affinity
This affinity is geared towards slaying Beasts. Foes like 
Twilight Crawlers and the 
Twilight Bug are perfect targets.
It is not advisable to bring this affinity when fighting Stonekin and Bandits as these both have very few or no beasts in their arsenal.
- Tainted Affinity
This affinity is geared towards defeating shielded foes. Opponents such as the 
Stonekin Earthkeeper or the 
Bandit Sorceress are good targets for this affinity.
Random PvE
The Bandit Stalker is not a viable choice in RPvE. Neither affinity can truly justify its use, not to mention its overall unimpressive stats do not particularly aid in a push.PvP
Bandit Stalkers are an incredibly niche pick with very little going for it. Seen as an underwhelming card, most players do not take this into PvP.Strengths
- (Gifted) Bandit Stalkers can deal alot of damage to Beasts.
With their doubled damage to beast types, this affinity carries an edge against commonly seen beast cards, like 
Burrower and 
Nightcrawler.
- (Tainted) Bandit Stalkers can get damage through shields.
Ice Guardian and the 
Avatar of Frost.
Weaknesses
- Bandit Stalkers have poor damage output.
With the exception of the gifted affinity versus beasts, Bandit Stalkers have a rather low damage output.
- Melee Vulnerabilities
