Loki vs Voruna

Same Stealth / Utility fantasy — which stealth kit fits your squad and mission rota?

TL;DR — Quick Pick

Pick Loki if…

  • Loki knows the art of deception — that's the Loki pitch you want on the roster.
  • Voruna's pitch (“Four beasts, one heart”) isn't what you're missing — Switch Teleport is.
  • You're buying into Loki's passive — able to hang from walls a multiplierx longer than normal.

Pick Voruna if…

  • You're sold on Voruna's fantasy (Four beasts, one heart) more than another Stealth / Utility option.
  • You'd rather build around Lycath's Hunt than live in Loki's Switch Teleport loop.
  • You're buying into Voruna's passive — voruna never fights alone.
Verdict

Both fill the Stealth / Utility lane. Lean Loki for Switch Teleport and Switch Teleport; lean Voruna for Lycath's Hunt and Lycath's Hunt. Mission Usefulness is a wash — decide on kit feel and passive, not the rating table.

Voruna

  • Lycath's Hunt carries mid-mission casts; Ulfrun's Descent is the density payoff.
  • 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 Voruna can still press a clear button.

DUR
Extends channeled / timed effects — often comfort on Loki if the kit leans on buffs or zones.

EFF
Keeps ability uptime comfortable, especially on longer Steel Path missions.

Who Should You Pull?

Loki
Pull Loki if…
  • Switch Teleport into Radial Disarm is the cast story you want to master — not a random subsume mashup.
  • Weapon damage still matters in your loadouts and Loki is the frame that amplifies that plan.
  • You've tried (or watched) Voruna and the Lycath's Hunt fantasy didn't stick.
  • Your aura polarity plan was already Naramon-first — Loki doesn't fight that.
  • You're chasing one strong Stealth main, and Loki is the candidate.

Voruna
Pull Voruna if…
  • Lycath's Hunt into Ulfrun's Descent is the cast story you want to master — not a random subsume mashup.
  • Your favorite clear starts on Shroud Of Dynar and ends on Ulfrun's Descent — Voruna is built for that arc.
  • Loki's Switch Teleport loop asks for a different muscle memory than you want to practice.
  • Vazarin on the aura slot matches the school you're already building weapons around.
  • Potato + Forma budget this month has Voruna's name on it.
