The Perfect Arena Assassin 2013 > By:Rumax

Loki, the Master Trickster is one insane AD Assassin. His skill set allows for quick kills on just about any other god, even those on the tankier side of things. In the Arena game mode Loki skill set can be utilized to essentially remove any enemy god from combat at any given time with a quick assassination. Loki's presence alone in the Arena forces the enemy team to stick together and be weary when jungling at all times due to the knowledge that they can be taken out as soon as they stray from their allies.
GAMEPLAY
Loki's main purpose is to shut down enemies that are giving your team issues. Mainly so, the carries of the opposing team. Loki gets in, kills his target faster than they can blink, and gets out. This is what he was made to do. He can be utilized to essentially ruin the game for a single enemy god with repeated and unrelenting ganks, or he can pick off just about everyone - one by one. His mobility can be used to secure kills that your team may have otherwise lost.

Loki when used correctly can also be one of the most intimidating gods in the game. The mentality you can stick to your foes by punishing them so hard for their mistakes can really make them flustered and playing poorly. Your field presence can force them to be playing out of their comfort zone. A good Loki can have the squishy gods on an enemy team playing passively the entire match, and the brawlers and tanks weary of moving too far ahead. The psychological aspects that Loki inflicts do a lot that may often go unrealized.
