The Assassins Creed

Hello and welcome to my first guide for Loki, The Trickster god. This guide i will be updating more often as i try more builds and figure out what works best.

PROS

High damage burst
Lots of fun to play as an assassin

CONS

Very Squishy
Mana starved
Very hard to place in teamfights sometimes
Can be easily shut down if youre not careful

Behind You! (Passive)
Loki deals 20% more damage from his basic attacks when hitting enemies from behind.

Possibly one of the most OP passives in my opinion. This passive makes his assassin kit even stronger. When you use your ult combined with your Aimed Strike skill you can burst someones health very far down because of this passive making you're abilities do that extra 20%

Vanish
Loki disappears in a puff of smoke for 3s. While invisible, he is immune to slows and moves 50% faster than normal. His next basic attack from invisibility (or for 2s after) applies a bleed to his target, dealing 30/45/60/75/90 (+25% of your physical power) physical damage every .5s for 2s and reveals Loki.
Cost: 70 / 75 / 80 / 85 / 90 mana
Cooldown:15s.

This skill is what really makes Loki an assassin. With this skill you can come out the jungle invisible and get behind someone for some great ganks. A good to use this skill is to go invisible then once you're about to strike activate your Aimed Strike ability and you'll be able to pull out a ton of damage.

Decoy
Loki spawns a decoy version of himself that taunts all nearby enemy minions. After 3s, the decoy explodes dealing 90 / 155 / 220 / 285 / 350 (+80% of your physical power) physical damage to all enemies in the radius.
Cost: 60 / 65 / 70 / 75 / 80 mana
Cooldown: 14s.

Decoy(in my opinion) is mainly used for laneing about 75% of the time. Somethings that you can do with it are use it to push your lane(obviously), Use it to save your tower from taking minion hits, or tanking jungle minions(even gold and FG). One more thing that you can do but can be hard to land is put your decoy on top of someone then use your ult combined with Aimed Strike right after and if done right your decoy will pop before they get out for some extra damage.

Aimed Strike
Upon activation, Loki’s next basic attack does an additional 60 / 100 / 140 / 180 / 220 (+80% of your physical power) physical damage within 5 seconds. The enemy hit is also slowed by 25% for 3 seconds.
Cost: 50 mana.
Cooldown: 12 / 11 / 10 / 9 / 8 s.

Aimed Strike is a great skill as it can put out a metric f**k ton damage especially when combined with Behind You!. Not only does it give you a ridiculous damage boost it slows them and allows you to finish them off. You should be trying to use this with your passive as much as possible but if you can get behind them just pop it for the extra damage.

Assassinate
Upon activation, Loki teleports to his ground target location. If an enemy god is within the radius, Loki will backstab that target doing 250 / 325 / 400 / 475 / 550 (140% of your physical power) physical damage and be stunned for 1s.
Cost: 100 mana.
Cooldown: 90s.

This skill is just amazing first off. Assassinate is what gives Loki a lot power and makes his ganks to strong. This skill has a few utilities than just ganks. You can use it to escape also if you really need to, In team fights you can use this skill to pick out the enemy's team squishy care and put them out of the fight. This skill in combination with Vanish and Aimed Strike can almost if not instantly kill your target( it really depends on the defenses that they have).

Well thats the end of my guide thank you for reading and i appreciate and comments/feedback as this is my first guide. =D
