Loki has one of the most unique set of abilities in Marvel Rivals. While they may seem simple, these powers can make you easily win the game in any situation.
The God of Mischief’s ultimate ability can help you transform into any character that’s in front of you for 15 seconds. If your team is low on health, you can quickly transform into a defensive character like Luna Snow and heal your teammates!
If you want to block attacks you can transform into a Tank like Hulk. This ability allows Loki to wield the Ultimate abilities of other characters, making it an incredibly powerful skill. The drawback is that Loki remains vulnerable. He will still die even when not in his original form.
The Regeneration Domain is another powerful field that can be used to protect your teammates from taking high damage. If the enemy performs an ult attack, you can quickly use the Regeneration Domain to bring the group’s health back to normal & prevent any loss. Keep in mind that it only lasts for 5 seconds and will end if attacked by an enemy.
The Doppelganger ability may not sound as powerful by itself, but its true potential is revealed when you use your clones to execute Loki’s Regeneration Domain or Devious Exchange powers. Each of your clones can use these abilities, helping you protect more friends during the game. Make sure that the clones are spread out over the field and not blocked by anything.
The Devious Exchange power is where Loki will just teleport to the place where one of his clones is standing. Suppose an enemy is charging at you, quickly use Devious Exchange and you can evade their attacks with ease.
The Deception ability is another way of evading attacks with ease. Once Loki becomes invisible, his hit points will keep regenerating, while an illusion of him stays in the same place. This is great for tricking enemies at the last moment and waiting for the stealth timer to reset.
The Laufeyson Reborn ability grants Loki a second chance at life if Hela is a part of the team. Once Hela eliminates someone, she can bring Loki back to life, in a stronger form.
It’s all of these powerful abilities that make Loki a great offensive as well as defensive character. If you often use unconventional ways to win and like a little mischief, Loki would be the perfect character for you to play.
Best Team Combinations For Loki
Loki can fit into any group due to his broad range of abilities. He can play well with characters like Wolverine, Black Panther, Thor, and many others. Since his Team-Up Ability is with Hela, it would be a good choice to put both of them together in a team. After reviving Loki, Hela will get a 20% damage boost, giving the team a chance to turn the tide in their favor. This synergy can make them an unbeatable pair.
