What do you do when your team is stuck in spawn? What can be done when a S ranked clan is running a train on your team'??s ?bum-bum?? How do you win when your team can't retake center from a single TFalc on Yam? What do you do when you want Gold AND you want to drag your teammate's sorry ?multiple dookie delivery chute? across the finish line? LOKI MAGIC  Sgt Ratchet building a tent condo for two minutes in Middle.   feat. >bobby_digital< and the Wu-Tang Clan
Bonus: What do you do when your teammates all have Loki Magic?  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
You win. Duh.  |

We played a clan the other night that sent "wave after wave" of Lokis at us. One guy alone had FOUR of them in his hangar. The match was a fun PitA. We won but it was quite a scramble. I had like 8 beacons and I wasn't the highest on the blue side.
They fought hard and lost mostly because Leeches have shotties.

Good work GG, you did your job and Ratchet did his. Circumstances were on your side. Loki is awesome and pulls off some crazy stuff, but if fate is not in Loki’s favor, reds drop new mechs and stop you from taking the beacon; may kill you; or may just set a bot on each beacon so you can’t accomplish your goal. It is still a very fun mech and accomplishes great things when the stars align

It is still a very fun mech and accomplishes great things when the stars align Loki should get kill credit for reds that have to ditch a bot to save a beacon. The past couple of days, my Loki has had more kills-by-proxy than beacons. And I still love it when reds turn their backs on me. I can’t wait to get some more Rimes. |

I've been sitting on 5500 components to build a Phantom but honestly, I think I'm going to convert them to a Loki. It's the only bot in the past year to make me think there's some real possibilities for fun.

It's the only bot in the past year to make me think there's some real possibilities for fun. Phantom counters Loki pretty hard and is more meta. A much better starting capper as well and more effective on BR than the Loki.
But it can't perform miracles like this little guy

In BR the circumstances are completely different, with much wider proliferation of Leeches and Phantoms which counter the Loki. |

Thanks for this. I have been thinking about running a Loki as a beacon runner in BR. |

Side effects of Loki Magic include: Confused Reds standing on a beacon doing nothing  Reds firing rockets randomly over your head  And Phase Shifting for no reason  Ask your doctor if Loki Magic™ is right for you |

YMMV, but with the addition of Halos, my Loki was slowly transmogrifying into becoming my best and most successful attacker, specialising in killing Ao Juns and Ares. (until Phantom/Leech 'killed' the game).
It was my most desirable and one of my favourite bots in the end.

While fighting much higher level gear is kinda nasty and unfair, everybody in your team got beacons, and everybody got over a million damage. I would not call this dragging their sorry ?multiple dookie delivery chute? over the finnish line. If they didn't pull off superb fight against overwhelming opponent, your Lokis would have been obliterated. Give credit where credit is due. |

Some of the commentary was directed at the Yam game above, and a funny addendum was for the game where we had 4 Lokis running around at one point. Also that game they outdamaged us by a large margin, but we won because of beacon control. So I dunno what you're going for here. |

Has to be in my top 3 bots that I’d remove from the game if I had the power.
I have plenty of bots in my hanger that can kill Loki in stealth, so naturally I have to go kill it because my randoms never can,....... So I lose time getting damage / silver because I have to chase Loki pilots, players who’re playing a combat game but don’t actually want to get into combat!
My 2 Phantoms are running out of space on their hulls to add little Loki skulls, I kill every one I see out of principle. Garbage bot.

If Leech and Phantom followed it. Loki is a bot that is very skill based, requiring lots of battlefield knowledge and awareness. And it doesn't require money to run. It allows F2P players like myself to change the outcome of a game when MK2 Leechs are just rolling people with Quad Coronas or Level 150 Ao Mings are untouchable while raining death down. |

And the Leech runs pretty damn fast and can hit Loki with 2 Mediums. That's the ecosystem the Loki is trying to survive in. Most the skill comes from knowing when to drop the bot, reading the battlefield, and taking advantage of weak points in Red's beacon coverage. And at the very, very, least, takes MUCH more skill to run than a Leech or Phantom. |

The other day I had a loki walk right into my clam bully. I left the game. Loki is just abusing the mechanics. This isn't a skill bot. I don't have to win anything.

I tried doing that to an Avenger Bully. It didn't work. Maybe it's a Calamity thing? Anyway you were able to do that to Lancelots since forever if you had a small bot, even a Pursuer so it's not exactly a new mechanic. |

I don't hate stealth jumpers though |

I play this game for fun and let me tell you that “Loki magic” is fun. Don’t have one or plan to get one. Red team or blue, when I see one truckin’ around changing beacons, I smile and laugh. Even if I am trying to shoot it with rockets from bully without Quantum Radar to no avail. And yes, I have turned my back on one only to get skull capped. Loki pilots, keep on keepin’ on!

One of my smurfs has 3 Loki and I’m debating getting a 4th. Usually 70-80% win rate. Sometimes I think reds leave because they get so annoyed with my antics.

You need to spend a few seconds locking-on to your target to fire weapons like tasers (Spark/Scourge/Calamity) and homing missiles (Spiral/Hydra/Chimera/Aphid/Vortex/Thermite), meaning a Loki is almost invulnerable to such builds, as their stealth mode breaks that lock they had to spend a few seconds for every time it stealths. So a completely untouchable (without Quantum Radar) Loki can just waltz inside the Bulwark's shield and unload weapons for a few seconds before there's even a chance of being locked-on. |

Doesn’t work when they have the Guidance Operator Pilot Skill. Learned that real fast against a Scourge Leech |

Guidance Operator only halves the time they need to lock-on. It seems it's possible to transfer a lock-on from one bot to another instantly, though.
Using Repulse, a Leech can still fight back with no weapons / ECUs.

who needs damage when I can just get first with healing and beacons? You don’t shoot? But that’s the best part, it’d be like sex without orgasm. |
