Loki disappears in a puff of smoke. While invisible, he moves faster, removes Slow effects, and gains immunity to Slow effects. His next Basic Attack from stealth (or for 2s after) applies a bleed to his target, dealing damage every .5s and reveals Loki. If Loki takes damage while in stealth he will be revealed for .33s.

Loki summons a vision of his tortured past at a target location for 4s. Enemies in range of the vision feel the poison themselves, taking damage and having their Damage Dealt reduced. This effect stacks up to 4 times. If an enemy gets 4 stacks they become Blinded, allowing Loki to benefit from Behind You! from any direction for 3s.

Loki unleashes a flurry of 5 dagger strikes quickly in front of him, damaging and slowing enemies hit by 15% for 3 seconds.

This ability can benefit from Behind You!

Upon activation, Loki teleports to his ground target location. If an enemy god is within the radius, Loki will slice that target doing damage and crippling them for 1s. After he teleports he will wind up a heavier strike, damaging all enemies in front of him and stunning them.

Introduction

This build is going to make you able to two-hit kill most gods late game, but be careful as you are very very squishy. In my opinion Loki is the most fun god to play with his good wave clears and extraordinary damage.

Items, Consumables, and Actives

Transendence
This is gonna want to be your first item since you want to build stacks because every stack gives 15 mana and 3% of all your mana is converted to physical power giving a boatload of both.
Warrior Tabi
This is gonna give 40 physical power increasing it even more.
Joutunn's Wrath
This is gonna give more physical power, penetration, mana, and some much needed cooldown reduction.
Hydra's Lament
This gives physical power and cooldown works very well with everything else.
Titan's Bane
Like everything adds physical power and also all physical attacks gain 33% percent penetration.
Deathbringer
Could we have a drumroll please (dundundundun). This item adds. Physical. Power. Oh and crit chance plus crits do more damage.
Consumables
Mana Potion
This will only be used until you have max stacks on Transendence.
Health Potion
This will be used all game since Loki is very squishy all game.
Potion of Physical Might
This will be used after all items and actives have been bought giving even more physical power.
Actives
Girdle of Inner Power
This active is barely used normally but goes amazing with his 4 and 3.
Combat Blink
This is normally used to get behind enemies to use his 3 if his 4 isn't up.

Skills

Vanish
This skill is gonna be leveled up last at 2, 15, 16, 17, 18. It's not that's it's bad to level up the damage over time it's just the fact that others are more important to level.
Decoy
This is gonna wanna be leveled up first at 1, 4, 6, 7, 10 since it's his best wave clear increasing how fast until he can destroy.
Aimed Strike
This is gonna wanna be leveled up second at 3, 8, 11, 12, 13. This is essential to killing enemies but not as important as leveling up at the beginning of the game.
Assassinate
This will be leveled up at 5, 9, 13, 17, 20

Playstyle

Early Game
Until you're about level 10 you're going to want to play passively and use your 2 to clear waves. If you see someone low try to get the kill but right now you can't take someones health from 100 to 0 in 2 hits.
Mid Game
Now you can play more aggressively but still clear waves and level up because you're not a complete killing machine just yet.
Late Game
Here it is the best thing in the entire game. Girdle, 4, 3, 1, RIP your enemies.

How to Kill and Why it Happens so Quickly

How to Kill
First activate your Girdle, then ult (if your ult isn't up use blink, if blink isn't up use your 1 and walk behind them), then 3 and and keep on attacking until your enemy is dead.
Why it Happens so Quickly
You might be wondering why I want to get behind them so much and that is because when you hit someone behind as Loki you get a 20% bonus damage on basic attacks. So if you're behind someone this is what happens. Crit + extra crit damage from Deathbringer + all of our physical power + plus extra 3 damage + extra Girdle damage + Potion of Physcal Might = 1000+ crit

Summary

Like I said previously you are very squishy but the damage just makes this god so much fun to play. I hope you learned something from this and enjoyed. This is my first ever guide so if you could give me some feedback it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You

I'm kinda surprised you didn't build any attack speed items on Loki. If you had replaced Warrior Tabi with Ninja Tabi, while replacing Transcendence with Odysseus Bow you would become a Crit CHance fast hitting Loki

I don't think you need attack speed since it takes 2 to 3 hits to kill someone late game.

Why would u want a crit chance fast hitting loki if u kill ur targets before there even is a fight with basic attacks? Every loki who builds attack speed just doesn't know how to play loki...oh and to the guide dude- why would you buy combat blink instead of beads? U already have cdr for ur ult, u don't need a 3min cool down short range teleport :P my actives on loki are beads and teleport for splitpush- I like the girdle idea tough ;) I'll try that one ^^

I'll try the build out, but could you tell me what to replace to get Malice.

Thanks for pointing this out, I'll fix it once I get a chance.

I like the build though, but i think its a little too squishy, for a solo lane build, for my liking. I'll have to try it out.

I use a build very similar to this and I have to say that it is quite fun. I'll have to rearrange the abilities but all in all, great build. Transcendence is a great item for those who enjoy using abilities. I find that Deathbringer and Malice (it is two to the right of deathbringer) make a great wombo combo for crit chance and damage.
