Playstyle

Loki Prime is the primed variant of Loki — same kit fantasy with Prime stats and polarities. Loki knows the art of deception. Built around Decoy, Invisibility, Switch Teleport.

Passive

Able to hang from walls a multiplierx longer than normal.

When to Pick

  • You want Loki’s kit with Prime polarities / stats.
  • You want a stealth / utility toolkit and Loki’s fantasy matches the mission.
  • Your squad is missing what Loki brings — especially Decoy.

Kit Overview

  • Ability kit matches Loki — open the base ability pages for deep dives.
  • Decoy (Ability 1): Loki deploys a holographic copy of himself that draws enemy fire.
  • Invisibility (Ability 2): Loki camouflages himself, becoming invisible to enemies.
  • Switch Teleport (Ability 3): Loki instantaneously swaps positions with a target, confusing the enemy.

Abilities & Augments

Ability Priority

  1. 1
    Decoy

    Loki deploys a holographic copy of himself that draws enemy fire.

  2. 2
    Invisibility

    Loki camouflages himself, becoming invisible to enemies.

  3. 3
    Switch Teleport

    Loki instantaneously swaps positions with a target, confusing the enemy.

  4. 4
    Radial Disarm

    Lets forth a wave of energy, disrupting the projectile weapons of enemies in range and forcing them to revert to melee combat.

Helminth / Subsume

  • Decoy is often the Helminth sacrifice if your build never needs Ability 1 and you’d rather import a strip, buff, or survival tool.
  • Keep Invisibility and later abilities when they define Loki’s identity.
  • Never subsume the ability that enables the rest of the kit’s energy or survival loop.

Mod Scaling

Strength

Raises damage and effect potency across Loki’s Strength-scaling abilities.

Duration

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

Range

Helps radius / targeting tools. Dump it if Loki is mostly self-buff or exalted weapons.

Efficiency

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

Priority

Match the priority to your main ability — Strength or Duration first for most kits, then Efficiency, then Range.

Mission Usefulness

Mission / ContextRatingWhy
Steel Path Survival / Defense / DisruptionStrongNot the densest clearer, but Loki Prime plus Decoy is enough for most Steel Path pubs. Loki deploys a holographic copy of himself that draws enemy fire. Loki knows the art of deception.
Mobile Defense / ExcavationStrongLoki Prime can hold Mobile Defense / Excavation without sweating every spawn, mainly via Decoy. Loki deploys a holographic copy of himself that draws enemy fire. Loki knows the art of deception.
Exterminate / Capture Speed RunsExcellentCapture markers and Exterminate tallies fall fast when Loki Prime chains Switch Teleport across the tile. Loki instantaneously swaps positions with a target, confusing the enemy. Loki knows the art of deception.
Spy / Rescue / NightmareExcellentLoki Prime is a specialist here: Invisibility keeps vaults and rescues safe under nasty modifiers. Loki camouflages himself, becoming invisible to enemies. Prime stats give more room to Forma the same loop.
Open World / BountiesStrongStrong on packed bounty camps; Loki Prime still leans on Operator / Archwing for the empty travel stretches while Switch Teleport handles fights. Loki instantaneously swaps positions with a target, confusing the enemy. Loki knows the art of deception.
Long-Range Gunplay / Eidolon-Style ContentWeakLoki Prime wants pack clear or finishers, not pure long-range; Decoy won’t save an Eidolon-style loadout. Loki deploys a holographic copy of himself that draws enemy fire. Loki knows the art of deception.

Your Forma budget is better spent on weapons / another role until Loki Prime is built.
