Why Loki is bad?

First of all, Loki isn't the best god in Smite, HE IS ONE OF THE WEAKEST GODS ACTUALLY.

Face it!

Weakness - Loki can be invaded easily, his clear is freaking bad early, that's why Loki jungle doesn't work.

You have two options here if you decide to jungle, first you must maximize your Decoy, that means your ganking potential is low, second option is maximizing your Aimed Strike, well then you can't maximize Decoy. So you have to choose between this two abilities.

As a solo laner you might be invaded as well, if you see the enemy team are better with clearing early, then upgrade your Vanish first, because at least you can escape, in that case you should hit with your Vanish a camp boss, that's the only way to make it beneficial.

So you need a decent jungler in your team to cover this issue, if you don't have one, you will most likely fail on that, but don't worry your Transcendence will support you with Mana.

YOU ARE NOT FRONTLINE - Usually your solo opponent will be warrior, that means he is a frontliner for his team who initiates fight.

That means you have to act like an assassin, because actually you are one, your mission is to take out squishy targets from teamfight such as, hunters, assassins, mages, you don't initiate fight, nor stay in teamfight, take out a target and get out.


YOU NEED TO BE SMART - Loki is too weak god, that means you should play carefully, you need to think a lot before your actions, trick your opponent, especially when you are too damn low and want to escape. YOU SHOULD ACT UNEXPECTED, LIKE IF SOMEONE IS CHASING YOU DOWN AND THINKS YOU ARE GOING STRAIGHT FORWARD, GO BACKWARDS, THINK AS YOUR ENEMY WOULDN'T THINK.

DOs and DON'Ts

Don'ts

1. Don't chase for kills, DO NOT DO THAT!! Please don't, especially if the enemy is in its jungle and you don't have it warded, still if you have wards I strongly don't recommend to go there, because you don't know what's going to happen. I know you have 2 abilities to escape, but isn't worth risk.

2. Don't initiate fights, you are not frontliner as said above, let your support do that.

3. Don't try to defeat your opponent on solo lane in its minions wave.

4. Don't use Aimed Strike while you are in Vanish and trying to sneak up behind someone because of its sound.

5. Don't stay in fight for too long, take out squishy, get out.

6. Don't stay in front of hunters or in a range of their hits if you are trying to take them out, try to avoid Basic Attacks as much as possible.


DOs

1. Maximize your Decoy to clear minion waves, always put it where archer minions are, they do the most damage and are easier to destroy.

2. Maximize your Aimed Strike and Vanish over your Assassinate, because you are using them more often than Assassinate.

3. Always reset your attack chain by using Aimed Strike, Vanish and Decoy.

4. Try to not waste your Assassinate when the enemy is low enough to finish with Vanish or Aimed Strike.

5. Use your Assassinate if it's your last bet to escape, don't try to save it in this scenario, because it's your ability and you have to use it, it's really worth it.

Yea I like used it once in Assault for the regen, actually pretty nice if you ult and back off, you have the extra regen to go in sooner without risking to die.

But please dont get it in Conquest. The base exists.
