Is Loki Good in Marvel Strike Force?

Loki is a very good character in Marvel Strike Force. He has a lot of utility and synergy with his Asgardian and Bifrost teammates.  He can be used in various game modes, such as Arena, Blitz, and Dark Dimension, and excels particularly well in Raid and War Teams. In addition, he can also be acquired easily with shards available in various ways. 

He can control one or two enemies to attack one of their own allies. The controlled enemies also gain a damage boost for this attack. Another ability can grant stealth to all allies except his Mirror Images. Hence protecting them from single-target attacks. He also grants evade to himself, increasing his survivability.

Best T4 for Loki

Some of Loki’s abilities become really powerful upon reaching max level. Because of this, it’s important to choose which to spend the rare T4 materials on. Here’s our list of T4 priorities for Loki in Marvel Strike Force:

1. Passive (God of Mischief) – Loki’s Passive skill can help the entire team survive if it’s maxed out. This ability is even more important if using the Bifrost team in Raids, as it grants extra buffs to all members.

2. Ultimate (Mirror Image) – Loki’s Ultimate at max level will grant stealth for all your team members. Also, Loki himself gets Evade. Lastly, when paired with the Bifrost team, when a Loki mirror image dies, Sylvie and all allies fill the speed bar.

3. Special (Mind Control) – Loki will always mind control two enemies when using his Special at max. Thus ensuring that it will always deal as much damage as possible.

Best ISO-8 for Loki

When it comes to selecting an ISO-8 class for Loki in Marvel Strike Force, the best choice is Skirmisher. This class increases Loki’s focus, consequently increasing the chance of applying the negative effects of his skills.

While it is possible to use the Healer or Fortifier class to try and increase Loki’s survivability, they are not recommended. Both will grant little bonuses due to the character’s base attributes.

Best Loki Team in Marvel Strike Force

Loki is best used in an Asgardian or Bifrost team. The Asgardian lineup generally consists of Thor, Hela, Sif, and Heimdall. With the possibility of also including Thor (Infinity War), Mighty Thor, and Valkyrie. 

This team is very effective in various game modes, but especially War. They have a lot of sustain, damage, control, and synergy. Sif is the tank of the team who can taunt and deflect attacks from enemies. While Heimdall grants buffs to his allies and can apply and remove Heal Block.

The Bifrost are a complete team, consisting of Beta Ray Bill, Loki (Teen), Sylvie, and Vahl. Although they are not as versatile, they are very efficient when used in Raids. All of them receive synergies and extra bonuses in this game mode with Loki and Sylvie working particularly well together.
