Master the God of Mischief – Marvel Rivals’ Ultimate Support
Discover everything you need to know about Loki, including its playstyle, abilities, and how to play it effectively.
Loki is one of the most slept on strategists in Marvel Rivals. Many people don’t realize that he is secretly the best support in the game because he is so hard to master. Loki can be the guy who just pumps healing into the tanks all game. He is the best support to take an off-angle right now with his incredible damage if you need to be active and carry a game.
Loki has a very high ceiling, and there’s a ton of moving parts. He can switch places with his Illusions using Devious Exchange or turn invisible with Deception. This also leaves behind an Illusion that helps confuse enemies.
🔮 Loki Overview
Loki is the master of deception, offering a unique support playstyle that combines trickery and healing. His Mystic Missile heals allies on hit, and his Illusion mimics his attacks to triple his output when maximized.
Loki’s Ultimate God of Mischief allows him to shapeshift into any other character, ally, or enemy, granting access to their kit or their Ultimate for a brief time. If you’re looking for a high-skill ceiling or a highly rewarding playstyle as support that thrives on outsmarting opponents, Loki is the guy.
🎭 What Makes Loki Special
He can drop clones of himself, and these can be used to shoot for damage or to heal teammates. They can also be used to swap between or with his ability regeneration domain. He can completely make himself or his teammates invulnerable to incoming attacks. The damage that’s taken is then converted into healing, and that’s just as long as the Rune above him isn’t destroyed.
⚡ Loki Abilities
Fire mystical missiles to heal allies or deal damage to enemies. It’s a single-cast projectile with a delayed impact. The projectile deals no damage and cannot heal – all the damage or healing comes from the spell field that delays the impact.
You’ll see a lot of Loki players aiming at the ground. This gives you better hit chances and can heal multiple allies in team fights. However, be careful not to damage nearby enemies!
Project an illusion that can cast some of Loki’s abilities. You get two charges with a 12-second cooldown and 30m cast distance. This is where Loki gets strong!
Even with just one clone, you’re doing 80 healing points – that’s the same as Invisible Woman getting both hits on her attack. With two clones, you’re dealing massive 120 HP healing that can splash to multiple allies!
Use run stones to create a magical field that provides allies healing and converts incoming damage into further healing. One of the most powerful abilities in the game with a 25-second cooldown.
This ability can counter ultimates, stall fights, and clutch keep allies alive. It’s one of the best anti-dive tools in the game – perfect for stopping Iron Fist, Spider-Man, and Black Panther combos!
Loki places down a clone and goes invisible, receiving a small amount of healing over time that is canceled by any damage. You can place runes while invisible as well as teleport.
You can use this for deception and confusing opponents, but the problem is that it’s easy to shoot Loki out of invisibility, especially when enemies have high fire rates.
Swap places with any one of your clones every 15 seconds up to 30m range. This ability should be used strategically as using it makes you an easy target.
1. Against dives – bait movement cooldowns
2. Against ultimates like Venom or Storm
3. Taking aggressive duels with flanking DPS
You can also start fights with an off-angle (especially with DPS like Hela) and set up your clone with your team to teleport back later. This forces shield tanks to respect two lines of fire!
👑 God of Mischief (Ultimate)
Copy anyone on any team with the click of a button while looking at them. Keep in mind that this is easily the hardest ultimate to use in the game.
Most players use this to copy Luna Snow’s ultimate or whatever support is available. However, you need to maximize its potential:
- If there are only 15 seconds left in the round, you can force enemies to use their ultimates into your stolen ultimate
- Use your runes early without worry – you’ll have a whole new kit of cooldowns to play with
- Perfect for avoiding misuse in chaotic overtime fights
🎮 Loki Playstyle
Loki is true backline – an overseer watching the battlefield. When you play him from the true backline, he’s 100% about cooldown management.
🎯 Primary Goals
Keep two clones up at all times for 120 healing and max 90 damage to enemies. Always have clone options to swap to if needed.
🛡️ Clone Management
Always have one clone ready to go and one in reserve. This allows for the “runway combo” when targeting runes.
🏰 Defensive Setup
On defense, send both clones out early. Put them up high and at off angles – by match start, your foundation is set.
👀 Positioning Tips
Clones need line of sight on your team for healing. Place them where they can hit your frontline effectively.
