Items

1. warrior tabi give us movement speed some damage and good early pen great option for loki as every bit of pen counts


2. jotun's gives us some fine damage decent pen but most important of all a lot of CDR which is key for loki
3. titan's bane gives us quite some % based pen as well as decent physical power its also of good use to us if were forced to gank warriors in solo lane...
4. Rage gives us some high crit chance now our spells alone already deal quit some burst but since our passive makes them hit harder from behind and a 20% boost to a crit aint a joke
5. Deathbringer gives us a lot of AD and makes our crits 50% strong and gives us more crit chance makes it a good purchase
optional final items
6. Hydra's Lament if chosen it will cap out CDR give us great bonus burst and a lot of AD this item will usually make us 100% - 0% key targets such as the enemy hunter/ADC or Mage
7. Shifter's Shield in case we dont need the max CDR from hydra's lament i have found this item to be a decent final pick when were at max HP it grants us 60 AD while when were on low HP 20 points are converted into bonus protections and help us with our getaway a bit


Note Worthy of Mention in case we dont need Titan's Bane as the 3rd item we can switch it up with Hydra's Lament to get max CDR and bonus burst to batter assassinate key targets in the mid game ect...

Actives



Fist of the Gods - a extra stun for us useful late game
sprint - the speed is extreme and if your in stealth you become one of the fastest things in game among the top 5
blink - in combination with Fist of the Gods can be used as a fake ultimate(some players may not noticed it in panic right away) and can be useful on its own as stealth lasts for 4 sec and you only need 3 sec to exit combat which can make this decently effective
Girdle of Inner Power - this can be used if you need additional killing power
Combat Blink - can be useful to get you out of a all in offensive Vanish + aimed strike + Assassinate killing combo

Overall Gameplay

Loki does not have much teamfight presence so the best he can pull off to benefit his team is to assassinate a key enemy target either there Mage or ADC you in general also want to pick off any targets if they are isolated thats what Loki is best at


As Loki you need to be careful about your position and be very aware of the positions of your targets and your own team the most important part is to be careful when you go in as thats usually when every one will try to nuke you the moment you start killing there key player thus you have 2 options

option 1:

Jungle Gameplay

Jungle Loki Statistics(pros&cons of going jungle with loki)

Spoiler: Click to view



As a Jungle Loki your early presence depends on the lanes you gank due to your lack of CC that most junglers have but to make up for it you have some of the strongest mid game burst and the strongest late game burst


Start


as the build advises a rank 2 hog helps loki pick up camps and secure mid harpy's batter and each pot will help out latter on in case you take some damage while ganking or if you get ambushed in the jungle... the bumabs mask is a obvious pick up for it sustain

Summary

Overall Loki is focused around assassination and is a great pick if you have a need for the elimination of a single high damage target as mentioned above as far as teamfights go you do not offer much due to great lack of CC the best you can do is assassinate key targets or add/use your ultimate to follow up CC that just ends/or use it to interrupt the initiation of the enemy by jumping the simplest to kill target



All in All Loki is a decent pick but depends on his team for maximum efficiency and requires experience for the most proper use and is thus more of a advanced pick if your new to the game i would recommend other picks instead

Great skill order! Build is mostly on point. As said above, Hydra's Lament should be put as a midgame item instead of a finisher, but you mentioned that in your guide so it's fine. Would just change it up on the build. The only thing I disagree with in your build is the Shifter's Shield as a final item. Really it doesn't go with Loki. Better defensive items on Loki would be Void Shield and Bulwark of Hope. I try to never get both since he's not meant for too much sustain. Just pop in, kill, pop out. I would prefer Titan's Bane in the end of the build IMO. A great active I suggest you put on there is Purification Beads. It is your only savior if you ever jump into a team fight. Ult on the squishy mage on the back, use your Aimed Strike, finish with a couple of basic attacks, do not 1 until you get hit by hard CC or they don't have any. Use your beads then Vanish away :)

I would put most of the info of the General Gameplay in the Skills Section. Your skills section is basically listing out the stats for the skill. Nothing wrong with that but I can just hover my mouse over the ability icon and see the exact same info. BB Coding is alright, but could use a bit more color. I like the guide but there are some changes that should be made. Not voting now but PM me if you change it :)

Seems fairly solid. Except the only things I would change is getting Hydra's Lament earlier to max CDR and get Titan's Bane last. Malice is also better for Loki than Rage because you could benefit more from the power then the attack speed. Otherwise, pretty good for a conquest build. The content is decent overall.

i will consider doing that and i was thinking of doing something similar sorry for the late reply also from what i understood potion of physical might is a great boost to damage but loki has 0 self sustain and early on his decoys are not enough and in case they figure out what your going for they can set you back a lot...thus its much safer to go with sustain unless you have a hel or ra solo/mid which can restore your HP in that case you can go with the potion of physical might as you can make pit stops to recover HP early on ill be making a solo lane section and build latter on as well for now im looking for the best way to solo lane with loki and will now start to bit by bit switch all my other guides into this format more or less and add a lot of details to them.... though the thor guide as simple and bad formated as it is seems to be fair in terms of popularity

Demolibium (32) | March 24, 2014 10:27pm
Nice Formatting overall, id suggest you add a section where you teach the uses of the abilities as well. The build is good but i would recommend shifting the titans bane to a final item and taking hydras lament earlier to max your cdr asap.
So overall i'll upvote.
Also i suggest you to start with decoy followed by your respective build. early decoy is necessary to reduce damage taken and to tank the creeps as at level 1 they hurt quite alot, and nowadays junglers like soloing the red buff at lvl 1.

Why no Potion of Physical Might? Don't you need it for some clear speed?
