Description
Loki is presented by the Theria guide as a control-focused early-game tank who relies on burst shots and front-row disruption more than sustained damage.
The Theria guide lists his level 50 base stats at 1.6K Attack, 35.4K HP, 278 Defense, and 193 March Size with Physical Damage.
Last War Survival Loki stands out as a versatile hero who excels in both control and burst roles. When built and placed correctly, his debuffs and AoE damage can shift battles in your favor. Upgrading to SSR and UR unlocks his full potential, enhancing his stats and passive power. To get the best out of Loki, pair him with strong tanks and burst allies, protect him from counters, and let his cunning lead your team to victory through disruption and precise offense.

Recommended Gear
Early blue gear should usually stay at level 0. Upgrade Ore is scarce, so the best value comes from shifting investment into the first strong epic pieces instead of over-upgrading temporary equipment.
M3 Turret
Loki still wants enough attack to make his control windows matter, so this is the easiest first blue pickup. Keep it unupgraded.
M3 Radar
A decent filler piece that helps him stay relevant while your account is still short on better offensive gear.
M3 Armor
Loki is fragile for a frontline-tagged hero, so the extra survivability matters if you must keep using him in early rotations.
M4-A Destroyer Cannon
The first epic piece worth caring about because it meaningfully improves both his pressure and the payoff on his disruption windows.
M4-A Jackal Data Chip
A strong follow-up epic choice that raises his overall stat floor and helps his burst-control role feel less flimsy.
Strengths
Strong Control Utility
Loki's best value comes from disruption. He can interfere with front-row setups and create openings for stronger backline damage dealers to capitalize.
Burst-Friendly Kit
Even though his raw stats are modest, his toolkit supports quick damage swings that matter in short early-game fights.
Flexible Early-Team Fit
He slots into several early lineups because he does not need a perfect team shell to provide some control pressure and cleanup value.
Useful With Better Carries
Loki gets more interesting when stronger damage heroes can exploit the windows he creates rather than asking him to carry damage alone.
Weaknesses
Needs Protection
Loki is much better in practice when someone else handles the true frontline burden. If exposed too early, his impact drops fast.
Source Positioning Is Inconsistent
The guide mixes tank, missile, and backline control language, so he needs a grounded interpretation rather than a literal read of every role claim.
Limited Standalone Carry Value
He can enable damage, but he is not a reliable solo win condition. Teams leaning on him as the only threat usually feel underpowered.
Timing Matters
His value depends on using disruption at the right moment. Poor timing makes his kit feel far weaker than the source page suggests.
Performance Tips
Troop Type and Placement
Use Loki as a protected control piece and keep him away from direct pressure so he can apply disruption before being collapsed on.
Keep Blue Gear Temporary
Early gear is only there to support a short-term role. Save ore for epic pieces that actually justify a bigger commitment.
Lean Into Team Synergy
Loki works best with burst allies who can punish the openings he creates and tanks who prevent him from taking the first wave of damage.
Upgrade For Utility First
If you spend on him at all, prioritize the parts of his kit that improve control reliability rather than chasing small raw damage gains.
Conclusion
Loki is at his best when he acts as a disruption piece inside a better team, not when he is asked to be the centerpiece. If you protect him, keep investment disciplined, and let stronger allies convert his control into damage, he can still create useful disruption before the roster moves past him.
FAQ
How does Loki perform in PvP versus PvE?
He can function in both, but he is more valuable when disruption timing matters and allies can convert that control into fast damage.
What are common counters to Loki?
Fast pressure, sturdy frontline setups, and teams that can reach or neutralize backline disruptors make Loki much less effective.
Is Loki viable for free-to-play players?
Yes, as an early utility option. He is accessible enough to use, but he should not become a heavy long-term investment target.
How should I position Loki in my squad?
Treat him like a protected disruptor rather than a true frontline tank and keep him where your stronger defenders can cover for him.
