Surprise is the most powerful weapon. Don't let the enemy have it.
Object lesson: Killing a Changeling solo.
Hide in a locker near where the ling is about to go. Hold a stun weapon in one hand and a lit welding tool in the other. As soon as they approach within striking range of the locker, move once sideways to pop the locker open, stun them and click-drag onto the locker. Switch hands via hotkey, weld locker shut the second it closes. Escort changeling to crusher.
Changelings normally win 1v1 encounters because you don't know there's a changeling in the room with you. Reverse the roles, have the changeling think its alone and the human know better, and the result changes - changeling powers be damned. The same is true of all antagonists. The biggest advantage is knowing they're in a fight before the other guy.
