Ivara vs Loki
Same Stealth / Utility fantasy — which stealth kit fits your squad and mission rota?
TL;DR — Quick Pick
Pick Ivara if…
- You want the squad gap filled by Ivara's vibe — The huntress draws her bow.
- You'd rather build around Prowl than live in Loki's Switch Teleport loop.
- You're buying into Ivara's passive — senses nearby enemies within a radius.
Pick Loki if…
- Loki knows the art of deception — that's the Loki pitch you want on the roster.
- This slot should feel like Decoy, Invisibility, and Radial Disarm, not a reskin of Ivara's Quiver, Navigator, and Artemis Bow.
- You're buying into Loki's passive — able to hang from walls a multiplierx longer than normal.
Verdict
Both fill the Stealth / Utility lane. Lean Ivara for Prowl and Prowl; lean Loki for Switch Teleport and Switch Teleport. Mission Usefulness is where they split: long-range / Eidolon (Strong vs Weak — edge Ivara).

When Each Shines
Ivara

- Mod focus stays on match the priority to your main ability so the cast loop doesn't fall over mid-rota.
- Smoke / invis windows where Ivara can still press a clear button.

Mod Scaling Focus
Ivara
Match the priority to your main ability — Strength or Duration first for most kits, then Efficiency, then Range.
- STR
- Raises damage and effect potency across Ivara’s Strength-scaling abilities.
- DUR
- Extends channeled / timed effects — often comfort on Ivara if the kit leans on buffs or zones.
- RNG
- Helps radius / targeting tools. Dump it if Ivara is mostly self-buff or exalted weapons.
- EFF
- Keeps ability uptime comfortable, especially on longer Steel Path missions.

- Your aura polarity plan was already Naramon-first — Ivara doesn't fight that.
- You're chasing one strong Stealth main, and Ivara is the candidate.
