Ability Descriptions

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.

Invisibility

Pure Invisibility

Build is for invisibility only. Invisibility lasts 30.72 seconds and costs 12.50 energy. Energy siphon will cause a +net energy gain providing unlimited invisibility. I chose mobilize for the exilus mod, because Loki has the fastest base sprint speed and sees large gains from +movement speed mods. The exilus mod is, however, highly optional, so you can put any mod you want there.

Specializations

• Spy
  
• Rescue
  
• Sabotage
  
• Assassination
  
• Kuva Farming

Disarm

Pure Disarm

Specializations

• Grineer/Corpus/Void Survival
  
• Grineer/Corpus/Void Defense
  
• Can be used in conjunction with a speed nova for speed farming
  
• Grineer/Corpus Sortie Hijack

Irradiating Disarm

Irradiating Disarm can be used depending on the situation and how you want to manipulate enemy behavior. Enemies will be disarmed and radiated. They will start attacking each other forming clusters. Without Irradiating Disarm, the enemies will simply charge at you.

Sortie Defense

Disarm provides great safety for you, your teammates, and the Tenno Operative. The other disarm builds can be used for sortie defense. This build equips the augment mod, Safeguard Switch, which provides additional safety when Loki switch teleports with the Tenno Operative, granting the Tenno Operative 6.3 seconds of invincibility. Players can also manipulate the Tenno Operative's location.

Invisibility/Disarm Hybrid

• Invisibility Duration - 24.48s
  
• Radial Disarm Range - 36.8 meters

• Invisibility Duration - 15.96
  
• Radial Disarm Range - 50 meters

These builds is notably better for rescues than the pure invisibility build. Loki can safely escort the Tenno Operative whilst disarming enemies for additional safety.

POE/Syndicate Medallion Farming

Loot Detector and Thief's Wit provide +72 loot radar on the minimap. With animal instinct equipped on companion, that's another +30 for a total of +102 loot radar.

Specializations

• POE wisps
  
• POE resources
  
• Syndicate Medalions
  
• Cephalon Fragments/Somachords

Eidolon Captures

Loki is a possible alternative to Bless Trinity in Eidolon Captures. His switch teleport ability can shorten lure travel time to the Eidolon. Additionally, after switch teleporting with the lure, the lure will gain temporary invincibility from the augment mod, Safeguard Switch. However, he will be hard to use in pubs since most will ask for a Bless Trinity. Since lures are so important, builds with longer lure invulnerability may be better.

• 6.25 energy cost
  
• 187.50 meter range
  
• 6.30s lure invulnerability

• 6.25 energy cost
  
• 104.25 meter range
  
• 12.24s lure invulnerability

• 6.25 energy cost
  
• 153.75 meter range
  
• 7.74s lure invulnerability

• 17.50 energy cost
  
• 138.00 meter range
  
• 15.24s lure invulnerability

Obstacle Course

Loki is often chosen for the dojo obstacle course, because he has the highest base sprint speed of all warframes. Warframes like Volt are faster with his speed ability. However, abilities cannot be used in the obstacle course. This build has equipped all +movement speed mods.

Cheap Non-prime Builds

These builds avoid rare expensive mods, high endo costs, and forma. They do, however, require an orokin reactor to be installed. I recommend eventually getting Loki Prime since he boasts a higher energy pool.

Pure Invisibility

Pure Disarm

Irradiating Disarm

Invisibility/Disarm Hybrid

Experience/Focus Farm

Details are in my other guide, 250k Focus In 15 Minutes!

Arcane Suggestions

Arcanes are rewarded for capturing Eidolons. A complete set is 10 of each. Each complete set also gives an additional revive.

Arcane Energize

Gives 40% chance on energy pickup to restore additional 100 energy to you and allies within 20 meters

• Synergizes well with quick thinking for more survivability
  
• Allows spamming of disarm

Arcane Fury

On critical hit, gives 40% chance for +120% Damage on Melee for 12 seconds

Arcane Acceleration

On critical hit, gives 20% chance for +60% Fire Rate to Rifles for 6 seconds

Arcane Eruption

On energy pickup, gives 20% chance to knockdown nearby enemies within 20 Meters

Arcane Momentum

On critical hit, gives 40% chance for +100% Reload Speed on Snipers for 8 seconds

• Synergizes with Vectis Prime equipped with Depleted Reload

Arcane Precision

On headshot, gives 80% chance for +120% Damage on Secondaries for 8 seconds

Arcane Rage

On headshot, gives 10% chance for +120% Damage on Primaries for 16 seconds

Arcane Strike

On hit, gives 10% chance for +40% Attack Speed on Melee for 12 seconds

Arcane Tempo

On critical hit, gives 10% chance for +60% Fire Rate on Shotguns for 8 Seconds

Arcane Velocity

On critical hit, gives 60% chance for +80% Fire Rate on Secondaries for 6 seconds

Note: Defensive arcanes aren't really needed because Loki has enough survivability from his invisibility.

Arcane Helmets

Arcane helmets are discontinued and are generally very costly. This is mostly about min/maxing and in no way a requirement. Arcane helmets limit amount of arcane sets that can be installed to 1. Arcane helmets also potentially interfere with fashion frame!!!

Loki Essence Arcane Helmet

• +15% ability efficiency
  
• -5% armor
  
• Loki Essence arcane helmet could perhaps replace streamline in the builds giving extra mod slot.

Loki Swindle Arcane Helmet

• +15% ability range
  
• -5% maximum health
  
• Loki Swindle arcane helmet improves disarm and loki switch teleport builds.

My Clan

I'm creating a new clan that is led by me and other warframe veterans. We're looking for people to help build this new clan. Dojo research is almost complete and recruitment will begin thereafter. For now, the size will be kept as shadow or storm (max 30 to 100 members). If you're interested and are Mastery Rank 10+, please leave your in-game name in the comment section.

[ThePHiLsTeR [¬º-°]¬]

Probably pure invisibility. Disarm only works on some enemies in the index, but most do not. I quit warframe, so I cannot test this. I'm just going by memory.

[é o louvas]

which build do you recommend for solo index?

[yep]

ENG: rate my profile illustration, and I will write to you in your profile +REP
RUS: оцените мой профиль иллюстрации, и я напишу вам в вашем профиле + REP

[Broken Viking]

@appolomere and @attilla most frames are useful, with the exception of whatever im using at the current moment

[_Tess_]

EN: Hey! I boost my friend list. If it is not hard for you, plz add me and u will have +rep

Ru: Привет! Я бущю список моих друзей, если не сложно, пож, добавь меня и получишь +rep

Ger: Hallo! Ich verbessere meine Freundesliste. Wenn es dir nicht schwer fällt, füge mich hinzu und du wirst es haben +rep

Polish: Hej! Zwiększam listę przyjaciół. Jeśli nie jest to dla ciebie trudne, plz dodaj mnie i będziesz mieć +rep

[E28olb]

you forgot bullet jump build

[TYs]

ign:TYs117 Mr17(90% to 18 rn) I've played on off since beta. Got removed from my last clan for not playing for a month. Feel free or not. :)

[Gamerbobey]

Uh question
I dont think the general function of any of his abilities are unique to just him besides being able to displace and annoy your teamates?

[Apollomere]

v but arguably his abilities are useful though disarm can help a lot in the endgame and his switch teleport with the safeguard switch mod making him a good defensive/support frame irradiating disarm is especially good

[Atilla]

we have here a loki fanboy
>all of his abilities are useful
never laughed that hard
