Introduction

First off I'm going to start off by introducing myself. I am fairly new to SmiteFire yet I would like to share information and try to give my best to the community. I hope you enjoy the guide that I made for the Trickster God. If you liked it then Vote up and if their is a mistake (ofcourse there is) then please comment below and I shall change it as soon as possible. Thank you for reading my guide!

Loki the Trickster God

In my guide Loki will be a Jungler which means he will be moving from lane to lane depending on which lanes needs help most. Loki will help the team get buffs and powerups and will gank to secure kills for the team. Loki is a high single damage assassin that is best off 1 vs. 1 and should not enter team fights unless he can secure a kill or two!

Pros and Cons

Pros:


+High Burst Damage
+High Mobility
+Good Pusher


Cons:


-Squishy
-Bad in Team Fights
-Bad in Crowd Control

Actives


Nothing to say here, your a Jungler :)
An essential active that is needed that helps in CC

Skills

Skill Setup


Decoy >> >> Aimed Strike >> >> Decoy

Easy skill setup, start off by placing a decoy to keep the minions out of your way. Move to using assassinate skill to deal backstabbing damage on the victim, then used Aimed Strike to get additional damage and use vanish to finish off the terrified victim that is trying to run away, finally place another decoy to keep minions away while you back up!

Gameplay Steps

Farming Steps/ Jungle Route


Step #1) Get Speed Buff for yourself (Every 240 seconds)
Step #2) Drop Mana Buff for Solo Laner (Every 240 seconds)
Step #3) Drop Damange Buff and announce (Every 240 seconds)
Step #4) Do XP Camps each time they respawn (Every 100 seconds)
Step #5) Mid/Late Game, Gold Fury & Fire Giant while grouped (Every 300 seconds)

Keep repeating Step #4 till level 12 then start ganking and helping needy lanes while still doing camps (from level 12 till level 17-18).
If at level 17-18 your team is pretty secured and the towers are secured you should probably gather you team and group the get the Gold Fury and Fire Giant before the enemy team gets their hands on these two camps


Ganking


The crucial part of Jungling is the ganking, your team's sucess depends on your ganking since it will keep the enemy team away from your towers as much as possible aswell as getting surprise attacks which will increase your chance of winning. An important note for ganking is that you should always be aware of enemy wards since it will ruin your secured kills, it would be alot of help if you place senetry wards and locate-destroy enemy wards quite often!

Warding


I don't know whats more important than "warding" as a Jungler. As a Jungler you have to place wards as much as possible.

You should place wards as in the picture above. Green dots are the defensive wards against enemy's Jungler and it's the most essential place to ward, you should always restore the ward if it gets destroyed. Warding at the yellow dots would give an advantage and direct vision to you and your team since you can easily check where the enemy team is at. Red dots are the offensive wards that are the hardest to place and should only be placed late game since it will assist the team greatly.

Summary

Playing as the Trickster God can be daunting and competitive especially since the Jungler is the most important role in a team and he is the main cause of the winning/loosing of the team. To make sure that you are doing your job and getting kills then follow the combo attack that I shared above and make sure that you place wards since they are essential for you and your team mates and make sure that you don't initiate team fights. Furthermore updates shall be posted soon.

It was a pleasure working on my very first guide, I am aware that it still lacks BB-codes and that it could look much better with more icons and colors. Please comment any suggestions, I would love to get better!! :)

Cheers

Congrats with your first guide ;)
I'll try to give you some feedback concerning build and overall guide.

Build

I think that Hydra's Lament is better when bought as 5th or 6th item.Because it's passive is depended on your physical power, and when it is bought as 3rd item, its passive wont shine.

Concerning Magi's Blessing. I am not a big fan of that item on Loki. I usually build Loki as glass cannon (full damage) although Magi's blessing will sometimes save you, but i wont recommend relying on it.

Also i wouldn't recommend getting stacking items as a jungler. I feel that it is pretty hard to get max.stacks in jungle unless you go to lanes and last-hit minions.
I found some mistakes in items section of your guide.
Firstly Magi's Blessing doesn't give you better CC, it reduces it by 40%.
Devourer's Gauntlet does not give you protections, it gives you lifesteal.
Greater Purification doesn't help you CC, it removes CC.

Skills: I would recommend using your aimed strike before your ultimate, so you will deal more damage.
Also using your decoy before your engaging is sometimes bad. Gods with escapes like Agni or Neith can just escape when seeing your decoy and you will be left with nothing ;)


Also you say: Keep repeating Step #4 till level 12 then start ganking and helping needy lanes. I don't know if i got it wrong but if you just do camps before level 12 and then start ganking then it is wrong.You should start ganking after leaving solo lane.You can get a kill, or just get some extra xp from minions in the lane.

And i recommend writing more in-depth gameplay section

I hope this feedback will help you ;) keep up the work, good luck ;)
