Introduction

This is the Movement loki joust build. This build will help your move around the battlefield while still supporting the attack speed and power streght of loki and of all assassins. This build has worked for me and will work if your have a good team comp that can be agressive. I hope you like the build and if you have some opinion leave a comment below.

Build

This build will help you move around the battlefield with a movement speed of 475 at max lvl. This build gives you nice attack speed for a loki and decent power. When starting you should get death toll 4 health potion and 4 mana potion as well as boots. After that finish the ninja tabi. Once completed see if you are doing well. If your getting kills/assists and your team is ahead start building a mail of renewal but if your team is failing then start building mantle of discord. While in the process of building one of those 2 items also build golden bow as it will allow you to do damage minions and gods around for partial damage( hey some damage is better than no damage). Once the 2 items are completed build either Masamune if the enemies has more health than you or fatalis if your being slowed. After completing one of the two you should have a total of 5 items which are death toll, ninja tabi, mail of renew/mantle discord, golden bow, fatalis/Masamune. The last item should be mantle of discord or mail of renewal( the one you didn't buy). Last sell the ninja tabi and trade it for a qin sais. Lastly sell the death toll and buy fatalis.

The stone cut sword and be switch with the masamume if the enemy team has a lot of physical protection and they don't have higher health than you.

Try to get red buff and use it to your advantage. Also try to get the power potion as well.

Skill

The skill is a rough skill because you start with all 3 of your abilities and should should upgrade your 1&3 since you want to be agressive but also upgrade your 2 for farming purposes

Pros / Cons

Pro- You will be fast and will attack like a boss. Also you can utilize your items passive to kill faster

Cons- Need a good team comp as you need an aggressive team and also the items aren't universal because passives will work best with certain characters mostly high health characters and gods that slow.

yeah i posted this at lvl 12 and now that im lvl 29 i see the many many flaws

Yeah, don't take it the wrong way, but this is literally the worst build I have ever seen.

is a very bad idea for a first item, because you will not be getting enough kills to justify it, and even then it's a very bad pick for an assassin because of it's stats.

is also a very bad item on . Loki is designed to burst targets down very quickly by using abilities. If you and your target even last long enough to build up it's stacks, you are playing Loki entirely wrong.

The same goes for and , you should be killing quickly enough that you don't need their passives. deals 4% of the targets max health with one basic attack. Playing Loki, you should be able to deal at least 30% or even up to 80% of a target's max health by using your abilities.

is also unnecessary on Loki, as the main focus of is to assist with wave clear, and Loki's Decoy clear minions and jungle camps almost instantaneously when leveled.

As for , and , I'm not sure if those are acceptable or not.

build this, do not go attackspeed: https://www.smitefire.com/smite/guide/loki-2016-oneshot-meta-13522

edit: use Www.smitejunkies.com/conquest
For the best guides. All made by pros and I highly suggest using them :P

I have used Loki quite a bit and I think he is more of a skill based god. Although the quick movement spped is nice it really hinders his power which is a necessity with his 1 ability to get kills. Attack speed in my opinion is not needed for Loki. Cooldowns are also VERY essential for this god as his main attack ability is also his escape. Very thoughtful build however!

Hi, now don't take this the wrong way, but you asked for advice in the guide title so I'm not gonna beat around the bush; this is an awful build for , you do not have a single item that works well for him, so it's probably safe to assume you don't understand his kit.

There was another similar guide recently which somebody left a comment on, which would be great for you to read through. I'll leave that comment here for you.

wrote:

So firstly, what is really good at? He has very high burst damage on a single target, he's very hard to kill due to his and and he has very good lane clear with his decoy. Due to these traits, people generally build and play to do two tasks:
1) to take out towers/phoenixes (ie: split push) with his high dps, good lane clear, and his ability to absorb tower damage with decoy and run away when chased with
2) assassinate squishy targets before running away (eg: the enemy mid laner or ADC).

Before anything else, we must determine where is best suited? While can be a decent jungler, he lacks the ability to push towers there, get a lot of farm while safely clearing, or be a real contribution to early-mid game team fights. Thus most players choose to place him in the solo lane where he can simply clear waves during his mediocre early game phase and then push towers quickly and force the enemy solo laner to either stay in lane with him or lose two towers before they can blink. To do this players will usually grab teleport as their first relic so that once they're low on mana/health they can quickly go back to base, or go gank a lane quickly when given an opportunity. To clear waves, players will level up decoy first, from there the priority shifts to , aimed strike and finally .

Finally, we must determine what build is best suited for . We want to prioritize ability damage (and movement to both get around the map, pursue and escape), thus the best way to do this is through power, penetration and cooldown reduction. Most players will grab first both for the extra mana and power, thus helping them clear lane. Then move onto for the power and much needed movement speed, (benefits all your key qualities for a low price), and from there grab power/penetration items like , (also great for tower pushing), and . If you're comfortable with auto-attack cancelling (cancelling an ability into an auto-attack to reset your attack chain), is also a great option.

Crits while powerful, don't affect towers at all making them ineffective for split pushing, and leave your dps very unreliable (while you may kill someone once because you have 20% crit chance, you're only doing so 1/5 times). is good for auto-attackers that need a few hits to secure a kill, but only needs to land 1-3 hits to secure a kill on any squishy target, and 2 are guaranteed with the third being fairly easy to follow up with with experience (or an ulti).

Just to show why people prefer the build suggested above, lets take your build and compare their damage and cost against an (assuming that as an ADC she's not building protections). The usual build ( -> -> -> -> -> ) costs 13440g and will deal 1904 damage with , aimed strike and two auto-attacks (one of which activates them), and will deal 3074 with an added and its guaranteed auto-attack. Both of these are more than 1890 health pool, meaning you can 100-death her without an ulti, in two auto-attacks, WITHOUT backstabbing her.

Now let's compare that. Your build costs 16030g (a full 2500g more expensive, ie: a full item). Your average damage with a , aimed strike and two autos is 1449. Assuming both autos are crits (1/25 chance) your damage is still only 1899. Finally, with that and an extra auto + , your average damage is 2310. Assuming 3 crits (1/125 chance), your damage is still less than the recommended build capping at 2985.

Thus, this is likely why you found a need for , you're not killing targets as quickly as you should, so you're relying on an extra 2-3 unnecessary auto-attacks using ' sticking power, passive boost and crit unreliability to finish off squishy targets.

Hopefully this has been informative and constructive criticism. I hope you continue to enjoy and become ever better!

Hi! Diamond 1800+ kills Loki here.

This build is far from traditional. Like to the point where I use exactly zero of these items.

Try these items in this order: Trancendence, warrior Tabi-, jotuns wrath, hydra's Lamnent, deathbringer, then bloodforge. I think youll like it.

With this build, upgrade your 2, then your 1 then your 3
