Loki is a highly disruptive EX Summoner/Mage belonging to the Illusion Veil faction. In the community, she is celebrated as a premier utility carry and the definitive mechanical counter to many of the game’s top-tier units.

Her playstyle revolves around overwhelming the battlefield with clones and illusions, completely fracturing enemy target-lock AI and locking down opponents with continuous crowd control (CC).

Strategy

Key Abilities & Passive Effects

• Permanent Ability Chains: Loki is capable of locking enemies into permanent skill-disruption loops. This allows her to entirely shut down high-threat targets before they can cast their ultimates.
• Illusion/Summon Swarm: She spawns multiple clones that distract the enemy frontline, absorb heavy single-target burst attacks, and split the focus of opposing assassins.
• The Poseidon Counter: Her defining mechanical feature is her ability to bypass and completely cancel “cheat-death” and revival passives, making her the ultimate counter-pick to Poseidon compositions in the Arena.

Strategic Build Recommendations

• Minimum Viable Investment:
  • Base Copy / Low Star: Unlike traditional hyper-carries who need raw stats to function, Loki provides immediate utility right out of the box due to her disruption mechanics and summon distracting capabilities.
• Recommended Milestone:
  • 1-Red Star: Pushing her to 1-Red Star is highly recommended for high-floor tower pushing and competitive PvP, as it significantly scales the health pool and durability of her illusions.
• Stat Focus:
  • Haste & Energy Recharge: Her top priorities. The faster Loki can cycle her skills, the easier it is to maintain her permanent ability chains on the enemy team.
  • HP & Defense: Scaling her baseline durability ensures her clones inherit enough bulk to effectively stall heavy frontline bruisers.

Team Synergies

Loki anchors the “Summoner Meta” and functions exceptionally well in attrition lineups or as a disruptive flex unit in standard team compositions.

1. The Attrition Chaos Lineup:
   • Core Members: Loki + Cleopatra + Hades.
   • Strategy: Cleopatra floods the map with mummies while Loki floods it with illusions. This massive wall of summons completely neutralizes enemy target-locking, giving the assassin queen Hades a completely safe environment to pick off targets and chain her resets.
2. The Illusion Veil Control Core:
   • Core Members: Loki + Ares + Atanith.
   • Strategy: Atanith applies the [Punishment] debuff and drains enemy energy, while Ares capitalizes on the stuns and deals HP-scaling true damage. Loki provides the necessary frontline distractions and ability chains to keep the team protected.
3. The Arena Anti-Meta Counter:
   • Core Members: Loki + Athena.
   • Strategy: Athena pulls the enemy team together into a cluster, allowing Loki to drop her illusions and skill disruptions directly on top of the entire opposing squad, rendering enemy backline carries useless.

Community Tips

• The F2P “Save Your Tickets” Advice: Because Loki provides immense utility even at low star investment, veterans frequently advise F2P players to acquire at least a base copy of her to counter specific boss mechanics and Arena teams, rather than skipping her entirely for pure damage dealers.
• Arena Staple: If you are struggling against heavy Poseidon stall teams in the Arena, slotting Loki into your lineup is the community’s universal solution to eliminate Poseidon’s dual-revive loops.
• Positioning Care: Keep Loki safely in the backline behind a reliable Guardian. While her clones provide great distraction, Loki herself remains a squishy mage if a backdoor assassin manages to bypass her summons.
