I missed a week, but I’m back with another (bi)weekly warframe thread! Last time we discussed Rhino, an “unofficial” 4th starter, so this week I thought to bring a warframe that actually used to BE a starter - Loki!
Release date: 2012-10-25
Abilities:
Decoy - Loki deploys a holographic copy of himself, drawing enemy fire.
Invisibility - Loki camouflages himself, becoming invisible to enemies.
Switch Teleport - Loki instantaneously swaps positions with a target, confusing the enemy.
Radial Disarm - Lets forth a wave of energy, disrupting the projectile weapons of enemies in range and forcing them to revert to melee combat.
Acquisition: Blueprint purchasable from the market, components drop from Hyena Pack on Psamathe, Neptune.
Loki does strike me as bi, yes.
Loki comes painfully late on the star chart, itd be nice to new players to have him on Mercury. Since Ivara obsoletes him for stealth, but only comes from grinding spy vaults until you’re blue in the face, it’d be helpful to actually have a spy frame available before you’ve nearly completed the star chart.
As far as his kit goes, he is woefully non-competitive. He can move around the bounty drones and skip a few spy vault obstacles but neither is particularly necessary. You could just be a volt and rush both with sheer speed and have more usable abilities.
I dont know what to do with Decoy other than set up a teleport. Just use invisibility if you dont want to get shot.
Radal Disarm doesnt play nice with lokis other desired stats, And you can just use invisibility if you dont want to be shot.
