˙⋆✮Loki Laufeyson |MR·˚ ༘

What greater thrill is there for a God of Mischief than to outsmart his foes? The cunning trickster Loki uses his illusions and shapeshifting abilities to weave in and out of combat, toying with enemies at every turn. Official description Loki is a Strategist hero in Marvel Rivals, and is the 7th hero introduced to the game's roster. He has a team-up ability that works in conjunction with Mantis.

Loki's core gameplay revolves around his Doppelganger ability, which allows the player to project illusions of Loki in the targeted area. This ability has two charges, and up to two illusions can be placed at once. The illusions are stationary and last for 60 seconds upon creation. Each illusion will mimic Loki's primary fire, aiming at the same location as him, which vastly increases his damage and healing output. The illusions share equal attributes to Loki, having the same health, as well as dealing the same damage and healing. His primary fire, Mystical Missile, shoots an energy projectile that deals damage to enemies and heals allies. Loki can simultaneously heal and deal damage if his allies and enemies are very close to each other since Mystical Missile creates a small spell field on impact. His secondary fire, Deception, creates an illusion where Loki is standing while granting him invisibility. While invisible, Loki gains heal-over-time. Loki can remain invisible indefinitely until attacking. Reloading, using Devious Exchange, or creating a Doppelganger will not break his invisibility. Loki's melee, Backstab, has him pulling a knife and performing a quick thrust. It is unique as it'll deal extra damage if he hits an enemy from behind. Devious Exchange allows Loki to swap places with any of the illusions of his choice within range. This ability makes Loki incredibly slippery and hard to pin down if properly used. Regeneration Domain conjures a rune stone in the air that creates a magical field around Loki and his illusions that provides high healing-per-second in a radius around them. The magical field also converts 30% of all damage taken into direct healing to allies. This ability is incredibly powerful and can provide clutch healing against very powerful attacks, including Ultimates. His Ultimate, God of Mischief, allows Loki to transform into any hero in the match, either ally or enemy, for 15 seconds. When Loki transforms into a hero from the enemy team, his nametag and team color will change to the opposite player and team. If the Loki player attacks this reverses back to the player's actual name and team color. While shapeshifted, Loki gains access to all the targeted hero abilities, including their Ultimate, which will be at 100% charge. Activating an Ultimate while shapeshifted gives Loki an additional 7 seconds of transformation. This duration can be extended if transforming into the Winter Soldier and repeatedly getting resets on his Kraken Impact. WEAKNESSES Requires high skill to play efficiently. Has low healing output if his illusions and Regeneration Domain are not available. Very vulnerable if his Devious Exchange and Regeneration Domain is on cooldown. Mystical Missile cannot deal critical hit. Backstab has a low range and is very situational. Enemy heroes can destroy Loki's illusions and the runes from his Regeneration Domain. This makes characters with high area-of-effect damage such as Iron Man effective against Loki. In addition, many opponents can take advantage of Loki's illusions for their own benefit: Captain America can build-up stacks of his Sentinel Strike to fire his shield by attacking the illusions. Wolverine can build-up his Berserker Rage by attacking the illusions. Mister Fantastic can build-up Elastic Strength stacks to enter his inflated state by attacking the illusions. Moon Knight can use his Crescent Dart to bounce between the illusions and other enemies. Squirrel Girl can shoot the illusions with Burst Acorn to extended the reach of their explosions. Winter Soldier can reset his Kraken Impact by hitting and destroying illusions marked with the Culling debuff. Mantis can deal critical hits to the illusions to regain charges of Life Orbs. Namor can deal critical hits to the illusions to enrage his Monstro Spawns. Phoenix can quickly land hits to apply Sparks and quickly enact her explosions for area damage. God of Mischief's transformation does not give access to team-up abilities. STRATEGY Loki is a slippery, unpredictable Strategist who specializes in nullifying enemy attacks and kiting anyone who attempts to chase him. His varied toolset and plethora of tricks makes him a highly adaptable hero that can support his team, deal solid damage, and keep himself alive all at the same time. Loki's lifeline is his illusions and his ability to manage them. They are important both to his general output and as his means of survival, so learning ability management and map knowledge to maximize its placements is crucial to his success. As such, it is not recommended to use him if you are a beginner, as worst case scenario, you could actually end up hurting your own team with poor illusion placement. Loki's primary attack is Mystical Missile, which has him fire a magic projectile from his scepter that will damage enemies and heal allies in a radius. Unlike other explosive projectiles, the projectile itself has no effect, with the healing and damage solely coming from its spell field, meaning that there is functionally no difference between landing a direct hit or barely hitting the target with the blast radius. The large AoE on this attack makes it excel with or against team comps that like to cluster close together, especially if you have other illusions up. However, it also makes it extremely hard for Loki to hit flying heroes such as Iron Man, Storm, or Human Torch, making him ineffective if those heroes are on the field. Regeneration Domain has Loki conjure a rune stone at his location that deals a large amount of healing as well as converting all damage received by an ally within the field into healing. The stone will remain on the field until its timer runs out or until it is destroyed by an enemy. This is essentially an immortality field, as any ally within the stone is incapable of taking any damage whatsoever. Timing this effectively can allow you to completely nullify any sort of damage that comes your way, giving Loki some of the best enemy denial potential in the game. However, its extremely long cooldown of 30 seconds means that using it haphazardly will be punished heavily, so always make sure to use it with discretion. Doppelganger is undoubtedly Loki's most important ability. Upon activation, Loki conjures an immobile clone of himself onto the field that aims at whatever he is aiming at, provided they both have line of sight to said target. He can have up to two clones active at any given time: if he attempt to conjure a third, the oldest clone will disappear. If a clone is on the field for 60 seconds it will disappear. Clones do not disappear if Loki dies. These clones function identically to Loki himself in terms of numbers, dealing the same damage and doling out the same amount of healing with their Mystical Missiles and Regeneration Domains as he does. With these, Loki can essentially double or even triple his field output, allowing him to heal faster, cover more ground with his domains, and deal surprisingly high burst damage to anyone he can land a hit on. The clones also excel at forcing enemies to split their attention between his team and his entities, similar to how Namor does the same with his Monstro Spawn. Enemies will have to choose between either shooting down the clones to cut Loki's output while leaving themselves open to the rest of his team, or ignore the clones and attempt to weather the storm, leaving Loki to his own devices. Be warned however, as while the clones are no doubt powerful, they can also be risky to use. While in most cases them getting targeted or destroyed is only a mild inconvenience, in these two circumstances, poor clone placement can easily become fatal: Moon Knight can easily target the immobile clones to get easy ricochets with his Crescent Darts and Moon Blades, almost functioning as a pseudo-ankh. This turns what would normally be something allies like to cluster around into a borderline death trap. Winter Soldier can refresh his Kraken Impact off of a destroyed clone, allowing him more opportunities to continue his rampage during his ultimate. Devious Exchange is an incredibly powerful escape tool. Loki will swap places with any illusion within 30 meters of him, even ones out of his line of sight. Because of this ability, it may be worthwhile at times to leave a clone behind so you can have an escape route ready to go if things go awry. It can also serve as a quick means of maneuverability if you need to find a better vantage quickly. Loki's melee has a unique property where he will get bonus damage if he hits an enemy from behind with it. However, the extra damage he gets with a backstab is extremely minimal, and attempting to seek out opportunities to get said backstab will mean that Loki isn't doing his job, so this property will rarely come into play. Deception makes Loki even harder for enemies to keep track of him. Loki immediately goes invisible and leaves an illusion behind, while also bestowing healing over time to himself as long as he remains invisible. He can stay invisible as long as he wants, however doing any actions other than reloading, creating another illusion, or using Devious Exchange will reveal him. Taking any damage will also reveal him. Due to the invisibility ending if Loki takes damage, this ability isn't great as an on-demand escape tool as even after going invisible, enemies will likely still be able to hit you out of it if they were already firing at you. Instead, try to use it before you get targeted by an enemy or right after using Devious Exchange in order to give enemies as little time to react to your invisibility as possible, giving you more opportunity to escape. Although you can theoretically stay invisible as long as you want, you should not stay in this mode for an extended period of time, as if you're invisible, that means you aren't healing the team or damaging the enemy, significantly hurting your team's overall output. Find the quickest opportunity to safely exit invisibility so you can get back to helping your team ASAP. God of Mischief is perhaps the most unorthodox ultimate in the game. Loki can take the form of any hero on the field, from either his team or the enemy's. Upon transformation, their ultimate will automatically be available to him. He can stay in this form for 12 seconds or however long his copied target's ultimate lasts should it also have some sort of timer. With this ultimate, Loki has two choices he can make. He can either copy a Duelist or Vanguard so he can get into the enemy and cause chaos with one of their ultimates, or copy a Strategist so he can use one of their ultimates to sustain his team. Both options can be extremely powerful, especially to confuse any enemies attempting to keep track of ultimates, though be wary when using the former, as if you're transformed into a Duelist or Vanguard, that means your team will be down a healer for however long your ultimate lasts. Also, be wary that you do not get any sort of second chance if you get KO'd during your transformation, so don't rush in recklessly or attempt to transform while under fire. Vibrant Vitality is a team up with Loki, Mantis and Groot. Mantis is the anchor it changes the size of Loki's Regeneration domain to be bigger and any allies in it will get a damage boost. PERSONALITY

Everyone loves a trickster — until the trick is played on them. Loki

The god of mischief, Loki Laufeyson, is defined as a trickster who seeks order, a prince who desires recognition, and a god who fears being overlooked. He is clever, theatrical, and infinitely intelligent, wielding wit and trickery as both weapons and defenses. Loki rarely acts without meaning, frequently concealing insecurity beneath sarcasm and mockery. His need to prove his worth to himself and others is what drives most of his instability. Loki is profoundly torn about his identity and belonging. He is defined by deception: he lies easily, bending the facts and manipulating people to achieve his goals, often merging charm, humor, and drama to make his falsehoods credible. Raised as an Asgardian prince but born a Frost Giant, he feels like an outsider even before he discovers the truth about his origins. This rift motivates his jealously of his brother Thor and contempt of Odin, not because he is without love, but because he never feels chosen. Loki's wickedness is generally motivated by wounded pride and the dread of being replaced. Loki is also highly emotional despite his tries to look detached. He feels betrayal deeply and loves fiercely, even when he acts otherwise. His relationships are complicated and volatile, particularly with Thor, alternating between antagonism, loyalty, and real affection. He is portrayed as a villain not because he is entirely vile, but because his acts are motivated by wounded pride, fear of insignificance, and a frantic desire to exert control over a world that has always left him feeling helpless. He has always targeted Thor, Asgard, and Earth's heroes as symbols of everything he believes he has been denied as he wants to be Asgard's king. He usually targets his own brother Thor, manipulates Odin, and continually attacks Earth, frequently via surrogate villains or large-scale plots, because Thor is revered as a savior while Loki is discarded as a problem. His attacks on teams like the Avengers are motivated by anger for gods and heroes who are revered merely for being themselves. He can't face Thor, Hulk, or full teams like the Avengers head on, so he resorts to plans, bargains, and psychological warfare. Loki's relationships with his siblings are defined by jealousy, rivalry, and sometimes mutual respect, yet still, every connection represents a distinct wound in his soul. Thor genuinely loves Loki and believes there is good in him, often offering forgiveness long after it is deserved, while Loki envies Thor’s ease, strength, and favored status, mistaking that love for condescension rather than loyalty. Thor is everything Loki thinks he isn't: favored, trusted, and easily heroic. Loki's hate of Thor inspires numerous betrayals and attacks, but it is inextricably linked with true attachment. He continuously sabotages Thor, but he also saves him on numerous occasions, sometimes out of guilt, sometimes out of love that he refuses to acknowledge. Their bond is often fractured, yet it never completely breaks, making their battle tragic rather than hateful: two brothers bound by blood, history, and a love neither can express without pain. Loki and Hela's relationship is one of separated siblings tied by blood but bonded solely by ambition: there is no trust or affection between them, only sharp awareness and mutual leverage. She quickly sees through Loki's plans, understanding that his desire for Asgard's throne drives everything he does, whereas Loki approaches her not out of loyalty, but because her power and legions make her indispensable. Their relationship is simply transactional, with family serving as a convenience; each expects betrayal in due course, but is willing to cooperate in order to shape the future. And Angela is the sibling who most destabilizes Loki emotionally. She is not raised with Thor, and unlike Hela, she is not an Asgardian monster. Angela questions Loki's view that family is characterized by hierarchy and partiality. While their connection is not particularly close, her presence strengthens Loki's belief that Odin's secrets and lies, not simply Thor's, shattered the family. Overall, Loki is a brilliant, conflicted trickster driven by insecurity as much as ambition, using lies and schemes to control a world that has made him feel small and replaceable. However, beneath his cruelty lies deep loneliness and a desperate need for recognition and belonging, and he frequently embraces the role of villain because it provides him with identity and power when love is uncertain. Loki, who is capable of empathy, growth, and even heroism, is never totally evil; instead, he is a self-aware contradiction, divided between growing better and submitting to the role the universe requires he play, particularly as the current king of Yggsgard.

TRIVIA Loki's first appearance was in Journey into Mystery (1952) #85 in October 1962. When Loki emotes, all of his clones will also emote with him. Despite being the father of Hela in the comics, there is a possibility that Hela is his sister in this game, just like in the MCU. This is further proved in their dialogue in his lore "Destined Kingship": Loki: "O sister, great queen, it– " Hela: "Whenever you call me queen, Loki–or, for that matter, sister– I know you want something. Tell me what it is and spare me the insincere implication that you care about family." The frantic "YOU STAY AWAY FROM ME!" is one of Loki's interactions to Hulk, referencing his "Puny God" treatment from The Avengers (2012) film.
