Introduction

Hey Guys i'm Oronuke, This is my personal build for Loki. Loki is a assassin that has a amazing kit that allows him to chase down people, get away from stick situation and many other things that other gods may not be able to pull them.

Items

Warrior Tabi Or Ninja Tabi are both good boots, although i have to say i prefer Warrior Tabi over ninja tabi for the extra armor pen that comes in handy.
Hydra's Lament (Most Important Item) Hydra's passive allows for massive damage early on and gives you necessary things as in cd and physical power.
Jotunn's Wrath gives you mana, armor pen and physical damage,It helps loki sustain his mana and can allow him to kill tanks a little easier or go through armor. Fatalis is Optional
DeathBringer is a very important item that allows you to have crazy damage and awesome crit.
Rage boost death-bringer adding even more crit and some physical damage along with attack-speed.
BloodForge/Asi are both good for sustaining Lokis hp and can help him last longer in team-fights.

Pros/Cons

Pro's: High Damage,Stealth,Burst damage,high mobility,many escape options,kind of easy to play.(Loki is an Overall Bad ***)

Con's:Squishy,Hard to master,can be very frustrating at some moments.



All in All loki is still a very fun god.

Skills

Behind You! Passive: Loki deals 20% more damage from his basic attacks when hitting enemies from behind. His basic attacks also utilize a five swing progressive chain.
Chain: 1/.5/.5/.5/1.5x damage and swing time. Basically what this does is it makes his attacks stronger form the back and also make's his attacks a 5 hit chain or combo.



Vanish/1st Ability Loki disappears in a puff of smoke. While invisible, he moves 35% faster, is immune to slows and takes 25% less damage for 4s. His next basic attack from stealth (or for 2s after) applies a bleed to his target, dealing 30/45/60/75/90 (+25% of your physical power) damage every .5s for 2s and reveals Loki.
Cost: 70/75/80/85/90 mana.
Cool-down: 15 seconds. Vanish=Stealth,While in stealth you get movement speed which is very useful to get away from people or catch up to them. When you hit it will apply a DOT or Damage over time


Decoy /2nd Ability Loki spawns a decoy version of himself that taunts all nearby enemy minions. After 3s, the decoy explodes dealing 75/125/175/225/275 (100% of your physical power) damage to all enemies in a 20 feet radius.
Cost: 60/65/70/75/80 mana.
Cooldown: 14 seconds. This move is great for clearing minions slowing the enemy team dealing damage to the enemies etc.


Aimed Strike/3rd Ability Upon activation, in the next 5s Loki's next basic attack does 60/100/140/180/220 (100% of your physical power) additional damage. The enemy hit is also slowed by 25% for 3s.
Cost: 50 mana.
Cooldown: 12/11/10/9/8 seconds. Mixing Aimed Strike with Vanish is very useful for the stacking dots that provide high burstdamage that will quickly dispose of your enemys. Aimed strike gives Loki Physical Power and slows the enemy.



Assassinate/ Ultimate Upon activation, Loki teleports to his ground target location. If an enemy god is within the radius, Loki will backstab that target doing 150/225/300/375/450 (+120% of your physical power) damage and stunning them for 1s.
Cost: 100 mana.
Cooldown: 90 seconds. Loki's Ultimate Gives him a "Teleport" which he can choose to go to an place whether it be a enemy or being used to get away. Can be used in Stealth.


Combo: Vanish to be hidden 3 to get the extra damage ready 4 to ult them stunning them and finally 2 to slow them down or deal damage to them

Team Fights.

Loki should try and pick people off either going to or
leaving a team fight,this allows him to get kills while also staying safe.

If ever caught in a team fight i recommend going for mage or Adc those will eliminate they're damage and give an edge to you're team.

Also for chasing you can use Decoy to slow people or block them in they're paths, you can also move around you're decoy since it will soak some damage it also does about 100-300 damage which is always useful.

Things to be careful of/Things to look for.

Hide Of Nemean lion, basically makes the user have physical protection and anyone that hits the user takes damage in magical power based off a percentage.

CC Cc or Crowd Control i.e stuns/silences etc, cause lots of problems to Loki dot or damage over time can help people pinpoint Loki in stealth and potentially screwing you over.

Change in build's if you kill someone multiple times they're probally gonna build armor protection, always pay attention to things like that so you can continue to do good.

CD or Cool-down's Basically let's say a mage uses his ult, this allows Loki to have some time too attack with the Mage being able to ult.Paying attention to small thing's like that can help you get more kills.

Summary


Loki is a very fun god who can easily be played and still have a great time on. I recommend him to people who like gods that can quickly disperse of enemies and overall have a great time.



Loki is a diverse God who has an amazing kit to quickly kill enemies/minions and also escape from them very easily.

I hope you all enjoy this build as much as i have and have a wonderful day as usual.

A few things: 1) You need more penetration. I'd suggest dropping the Jotunn's Wrath or Bloodforge in lieu of an Executioner or Titan's Bane
2) Don't stagger the skills so extensively. In most every god, there is, even if arguable, a certain skill that should be maxed definitively over the other 2. Some people will argue Vanish for higher overall dot, others will say Aimed Strike for the reduced cooldown and thus higher total damage over a time period, but less burst. But every god should max one over the other or you'll be mashing up two playstyles into one, when you would perform better adhering to one. Personal experience.
3)Explain the skills instead of listing what they do. You're not providing anything past me simply doing this Aimed Strike

There's a difference between
Vanish
Decoy
Aimed Strike
Assassinate
and explaining it.

No complaints for a self-dubbed 'tips and tricks' though

Okay i'll revise it, i really appreciate the feed back, like i said this is my first build so i was seeing what works and what doesnt, i appreciate this. Thank you

Well, you DID say that it was just tips, so I guess that this deserves no hate. Although some BB coding would be nice. Not voting this guide, because I think it deserves neither an upvote or downvote. But it doesn't deserve hate.
