Loki Prime - Steel Path | Guardian Angel | Invisible Distraction | The Better Decoy

A simple crowd control build, good for attracting enemies into a nice big group for area damage.

How-to/general gameplay loop:

  • Bring a strong AoE weapon if you're playing solo or expect your squad to be low on area damage.

  • Keep Resonator(your 1) and Invisibility(your 2) active - each one will cover for gaps in the other, rendering you much harder to kill. Recast Resonator if it gets stuck.

  • Use Switch Teleport(your 3) to give allies 19 seconds of complete invulnerability. Or annoy them with it and claim you're helping because they can't die to wherever you just switched them. If, by chance, you encounter another Loki running this build, congratulations. You're both invulnerable and get to Switch Teleport each other for fun.

  • Use Radial Disarm(your 4) for fun - it's not especially useful on this build, but it can help with enemies with annoying AoE weapons.

Why this choice/other options:

  • Replacing Decoy with Resonator - Resonator is effective at distracting enemies. Decoy is not. Next question.

  • Primed Sure Footed - Prevents all knockdown effects, including self-stagger. Essential if you plan, as this build does, to nuke groups of enemies with Primed Firestorm-enhanced explosives.

  • Corrosive Projection - Swap to taste. Some more potentially useful auras include [Brief Respite], [Empowered Blades], [Energy Siphon], [Growing Power], [Melee Guidance], [Power Donation], [Sprint Boost], and [Swift Momentum]. Some of these will require either an Aura Forma or additional Forma applied to the build.

  • Arcanes - Arcane Energize is generally useful, though more for supporting allies than keeping your own energy up. Molt Efficiency offers some extra duration, but it can be swapped for Arcane Aegis if you're taking damage for some reason and need a hair of extra survivability.

  • Safeguard Switch - Allows you to render yourself and weaker allies invulnerable basically indefinitely.

  • Irradiating Disarm - Functionally a flex slot. Can be swapped for Conductor, which allows you to direct your Resonator to specific locations. However, Conductor prevents you from recasting Resonator, which can cause it to get stuck.

Recommended Archon Shards:

  • 3x Ability Duration Crimson Shard, to increase the durations of abilities and specifically Safeguard Switch's invulnerability.
  • 2x Casting Speed Amber Shard, to make everything cast faster. If one or both of these shards are Tauforged, your abilities will cast exceptionally fast. It's a free [Natural Talent] and everything wants it.
