Delving into Loki’s Arsenal of Deception

Accuracy Aura

Loki possesses an Aura that increases the Accuracy of all allies in all battles by 60. This is an invaluable asset, especially for teams that rely on landing debuffs, and can significantly ease gear requirements for other champions.

Flames of Mischief

His first ability, Flames of Mischief, is an AoE attack that strikes all enemies. This ability has a 30% chance to increase the duration of all enemy debuffs by 1 turn. Notably, if Loki is under a Veil or Perfect Veil buff, this chance is increased to 50%. This makes it a valuable tool for prolonging the effects of crucial debuffs like Decrease Defence, Weaken, or even Stuns.

Deceiver’s Gambit

Deceiver’s Gambit is a flexible skill that either disrupts enemies with debuffs and debuff spread under Veil or heals and buffs allies, spreading a random buff if Loki is Veiled—making it a strong mix of control and support.

Bandit Flash

Bandit Flash is a powerful skill that steals all buffs and 100% Turn Meter from an enemy (unresistable under Veil). If the steal fails, it boosts all allies’ Turn Meters by 15% and grants a 50% Increase ATK buff, making it great for both disruption and team support.

Mist Step (P)

Mist Step is Loki’s passive that boosts his survivability by placing Perfect Veil at the start of each round and when his HP drops below 50%. It also gives up to a 30% chance to Evade enemy skills, and if he’s under 50% HP, he’ll guaranteedly Evade one hit every 4 turns—making him elusive and hard to take down.

Choosing the right masteries for Loki the Deceiver is crucial to unlocking his full potential as a control-focused support champion with strong survivability. The Support Tree is an ideal foundation, enhancing his Accuracy and allowing him to manipulate buffs more effectively—essential for maximizing the impact of his debuffs and utility. Core masteries here include Pinpoint Accuracy and Charged Focus to improve his chances of landing debuffs early in battle, along with Lore of Steel to boost stat gains from gear. Lasting Gifts extends the duration of buffs like Perfect Veil, while Eagle-Eye provides a significant Accuracy boost, ensuring consistency across high-resistance encounters.

Complementing this, the Defense Tree helps reinforce Loki’s durability. Key picks include Defiant and Improved Parry to reduce damage taken, Delay Death for scaling defense over time, and Unshakable for increased Resistance—especially important in fights where enemy debuff control is heavy. This blend of sustain and utility makes Loki harder to kill and more effective over longer engagements.

In PvE content such as Hydra, Doom Tower, and high-level Dungeons, focus on masteries that improve debuff uptime and survivability, allowing Loki to support his team through crowd control and buff manipulation. In PvP, particularly in the Arena, he shines in disrupting enemy strategies. Masteries like Temporal Chains can hinder fast-turn teams, while Fearsome Presence, when used with a Stun Set, boosts his crowd control potential and makes him a serious threat against buff-reliant or speed-based compositions. This mastery setup ensures Loki remains a flexible and high-impact champion across all areas of the game.

Equipping the Deceiver: Gear Recommendations for Loki

Loki the Deceiver Gear Recommendations

Perception

This set is an upgraded Accuracy set with added Speed, making it incredibly valuable, as these are two of the most important stats for most champions. It can only be crafted in the Forge using materials earned from the Arena and Faction Wars, making it quite accessible for players in the early to mid game, and just as useful for enhancing builds later on. Universally strong, this set performs well in all areas of the game.

Stone Skin

This set, which can only be acquired from the Hydra Clan Boss, is currently the best PvP set in the game. While the Stoneskin buff is active, it makes the wearer nearly invincible to damage, immune to debuffs, and unaffected by Turn Meter manipulation. The only champion capable of breaching Stoneskin is Warlord with his Skill Cooldown ability. If you’re serious about Arena, investing time in Hydra to acquire this powerful set is essential.

Supersonic

Supersonic is the brand-new set available from the Cursed City of Sintranos, and it’s game-changing. The power creep introduced by this set, alongside the Merciless set, is unlikely to ever be matched by any other set in the game. The only downside to consider is that it can make speed tuning a bit awkward!

Protection

The Protection set, which can only be acquired from the Hydra Clan Boss, is great for protecting your buff champions across all areas of the game. However, its Speed is particularly useful on specific champions in the Arena.
