Attack980 Guide: Loki the Deceiver
In short
Loki the Deceiver is a Legendary Barbarian Support with Spirit Affinity. His identity is Veil and Thick Veil: under them his control, buff stealing and dodge chances improve. He shines most in Tag Team Arena, Hydra and Fire Knight's Castle, while Clan Boss and Doom Tower are weak spots. Build him for Speed and Accuracy first, and book Rogue's Gambit early.
Strengths
- Aura gives allies +60 Accuracy in all battles, which fits almost any team.
- The Passive starts each round with Thick Veil and adds Thick Veil when HP drops below 50 %; dodge is 15 % normally, 30 % under any Veil, and there is a one-time guaranteed 100 % dodge trigger.
- Rogue's Gambit is flexible: on an enemy it places Block Active Skills and Block Buffs; on an ally it heals for 50 % of Loki's MAX HP and places Thick Veil.
- Nimble Deceiver steals all buffs and 100 % Turn Meter; under any Veil it cannot be resisted, and if the Turn Meter steal fails it fills team Turn Meters by 15 %.
- Fire of Discord hits all enemies and has a 30–50 % chance to extend all their debuffs by 1 turn.
Weaknesses
- Base Speed is only 105, so he needs heavy Speed investment to act on time.
- Damage is negligible: 980 ATK and a support kit mean he is not a damage dealer.
- Before books, Rogue's Gambit and Nimble Deceiver rely on chance, and his debuffs need Accuracy.
- Several bonuses depend on Veil, so turn order and setup matter.
Where to use
Best ratings: Faction Wars 4.5, Hydra 4.0, Arena 4.0. Use him in Tag Team Arena and Live Arena for control and Turn Meter denial; Fire Knight's Castle values his buff steal and Accuracy aura; Hydra and Astranyx benefit from his support and debuff extension. Mid-tier: Chimera 3.0, Dungeons 3.0, Hard 3.0. Weak: Doom Tower 2.5 and Clan Boss 2.0 — he is not a boss damage pick.
Stats and gear
Priority: Speed > Accuracy > HP/DEF > Resistance. Rough targets: SPD 220–260+ (higher for Arena and Hydra), ACC 250–350 depending on content, enough HP and DEF to survive focus. C.RATE and C.DMG are not priorities. Recommended sets from the list: Reflex, Divine Speed, Perception, Stoneskin, Merciless, Supersonic, Feral. Practical picks: Reflex or Perception for skill cycling, Divine Speed or Supersonic for Speed, Stoneskin for Arena.
Masteries and blessings
Go Support and Defense trees. Key masteries from the list: Invigorated, Targetfinder, Expeditious Exploitation, Gathering Momentum. Blessings: Cruelty, Brimstone, Polymorph, Temporal Chains; pick by content — Polymorph for survival, Temporal Chains for control, Cruelty or Brimstone when you want extra debuff pressure.
Tomes
Book Rogue's Gambit first: it gains -1 cooldown and higher debuff chance, and it is his core control/heal button. Then book Nimble Deceiver for -1 cooldown and steal chance. Leave Fire of Discord for last; it only adds damage and extension chance.
Verdict
Loki the Deceiver is a specialised Veil support: excellent for Faction Wars, Hydra and Arena when given Speed and Accuracy. Do not expect miracles from him in Clan Boss or Doom Tower.
