How to play Loki in Marvel Rivals

When playing Loki, it’s crucial to understand that his effectiveness depends heavily on precise mechanics, particularly his ability to balance healing and damage output.

To maximize Loki’s potential, you’ll need sharp aim to heal allies and damage enemies effectively. While his learning curve can be steep, mastering these mechanics transforms him into one of the most impactful Strategists in the game.

Since Loki often operates from the backline in a somewhat stationary role, staying vigilant is essential to counter any surprise dives from enemies. Fortunately, his abilities are designed to help you escape these situations. With a quick use of Doppelganger, you can create a decoy and turn invisible, giving you a much-needed chance to reposition safely.

Another standout feature of Loki’s kit is its versatility. Unlike many support-focused characters, Loki isn’t confined to being a healer. He can shift into a pseudo-Duelist role, flanking enemies and dealing significant damage. However, be mindful that this playstyle may not always align with your team’s expectations.

That’s all you need to know about Loki in Marvel Rivals. Want to give Duelists a shot? Try Hawkeye and Wolverine – they are excellent options for you. And if you’re looking to dominate the multiplayer lobbies, check out the best controller settings and PC settings for higher FPS in Marvel Rivals.
