Loki disappears in a puff of smoke. While invisible, he moves faster, removes Slow effects, and gains immunity to Slow effects. His next Basic Attack from stealth (or for 2s after) applies a bleed to his target, dealing damage every .5s and reveals Loki. If Loki takes damage while in stealth he will be revealed for .33s.

Loki summons a vision of his tortured past at a target location for 4s. Enemies in range of the vision feel the poison themselves, taking damage and having their Damage Dealt reduced. This effect stacks up to 4 times. If an enemy gets 4 stacks they become Blinded, allowing Loki to benefit from Behind You! from any direction for 3s.

Loki unleashes a flurry of 5 dagger strikes quickly in front of him, damaging and slowing enemies hit by 15% for 3 seconds.

This ability can benefit from Behind You!

Introduction

This is my first guide. I'm going to show you why Loki is the 1v1 prestige master.
[unfinished]
01/05/2013 Started the guide.

Pros / Cons

PROS

  • Extremely High BURST Damage
  • Great Mobility (Escaping/Chasing enemies)
  • Invisible
  • WINS EVERY 1v1

CONS
  • Squishy
  • No dash (from CC)
  • Needs a bit skill to be unpredictable

Skills

In early-mid game,

I will always level up my decoy first, as to farm as soon as possible. In Joust, I will get blue buff before the game start, to sustain a bit more. Then those farms in the beginning will get you some important gold and xp, which makes you ahead of your opponent. Always use aimed strike on your enemy god. Don't waste any mana on the minions except decoy even when you have blue buff. When you've got The Executioner or Deathbringer and your ult ready, don't hesitate to Assassinate with Vanish and aimed strike your enemy. You can decoy to make sure the minions won't attack you. With the perfect combo of your skills, that should get you a first blood. But if you're behind in farm or just wanna play a bit safer, try to get orange and red buffs to ensure the kill.


In mid game,

mostly you're fed. Even if they got your tower first, you should have more gold and xp than your enemy. Just keep farming with your fully leveled up decoy. Get orange, red, blue and white (in descending order of preference) buffs when possible. Vanish, aimed strike and Assassinate your enemy unalerted. As simple as that. Some tips: Don't Vanish in front of your enemy, e.g. Vanish right after you get a buff then rush to your enemy (<- should be in mid lane attacking minions/tower) and aimed strike/ Assassinate him.


In late game,


99% you are very fat, I mean fed. Just kill the enemy god on sight with your perfect blend of skills. I know there's that 1% who is not fed. Just try to avoid facing your enemy face to face. That's not the type of Loki. Always go in from behind by Vanish. Try to Assassinate when your enemy's skiils/abilities are on cooldown.

Items


You will need that physical power and attack speed in early game. What's best about The Executioner is that little penetration.

Best core item you will ever need. 50 physical power and 50% critical strike. Nothing better than that. You should be able to grab 2 or 3 kills at this time.

Again, decent physical power. And also some cd reduction. Just use your Vanish to sneak in and Assassinate your enemy whenever you want. Don't forget to aimed strike though. That slow make sure you wont lose the kill.

Just adding more physical power, crit chance and attack speed. Now this Loki should be able to kill everyone on sight.

For the remaining item, it's up to you.
Usually your opponent will buy some physical defense if you're fed. Titan's Bane will penetrate them up.
If you're not fed, or even feeding, you can buy Voidblade for physical power and protection, as well as some penetration against physical gods. Loki NEVER loses to mages, but in case you really do, magi's blessing may help you.
Lastly, if you're against some tanky/high sustain gods like Guan Yu or Hades, you may want devourer gloves or Heartseeker. I prefer Heartseeker as if you don't SUCK, and maximize your decoy as soon as possible, 50 physical power should be an easy job.

For abilities,
to me, sprint is a MUST. It's so useful escaping and chasing down enemies. Plus Vanish and speed buff, you will be uncatchable.
Purification Beads and Aegis Amulet are optional. If you feel like you can't get a kill because of those annoying CC, Hades' ult, Freya's ult, etc., just get them.
The new blink is quite interesting. Think it as an alternative sprint. You can use it to gank and escape. Cool, right?

Summary

Have fun ruling in Joust with 8|.
