This breakdown is built on a source video that's now over a year old, and Marvel Rivals has patched heavily since — several specific numbers and, critically, Loki's team-up ability have changed. Every stat and mechanic below has been checked against the current Marvel Rivals Wiki (marvelrivals.wiki.gg) and corrected where the two disagree; see "How this guide was fact-checked" for the full list.
Loki has 275 base health, on the higher end for a Strategist, which is part of why he can afford to play aggressively close to the fight rather than sniping from a perch.
## Doppelganger: why two clones change everything  Doppelganger places up to two stationary clones that mimic Loki's shots, each with 2 charges on a 12-second cooldown per charge and a 30-meter placement range. Clones have 250 HP and, unlike almost every other player-summoned object in the game, they survive Loki's own death — they only expire a full minute after being placed, or when destroyed or replaced.One correction worth making here: a clone's damage and healing output is 20% lower than Loki's own, not equal to it. So a single trigger pull with both clones active lands roughly 50 (Loki) + 40 + 40 = 130 healing to a clustered target, not a flat triple — still an enormous burst, just not quite the straight multiplication the "shoot for 120" framing implies.
## Devious Exchange: teleporting through walls  On a 15-second cooldown, Loki can instantly swap positions with any clone within 30 meters — including through solid walls, with no line of sight required. This is the single biggest skill-gap tool in his kit:A secondary use: if both Doppelganger charges are on cooldown and a clone dies, going invisible immediately re-summons a clone in Loki's place without spending a charge — useful when you urgently need a third gun on a low-health ally.
## Regeneration Domain: an "oh crap" button that can't be brute-forced  This ability places a 5-meter rune stone at Loki's feet (and at the feet of any active clones) that heals everyone standing in it for 100 per second for 5 seconds, on a 30-second cooldown. Every one of these figures still matches current data exactly — this ability hasn't changed. The critical detail: damage taken by allies standing in the field is converted directly into additional healing, so it genuinely cannot be out-damaged. The only counter is destroying the 100-HP rune stone itself, which disables the field early.Timing this well takes practice: some heroes (like ones with summons or deployables) lose everything they placed the instant Loki transforms back, so their ultimate is worth using immediately rather than saving. Copying a wide roster of Strategists specifically is recommended, since you'll frequently need to play their kit competently for the duration.
## Team-up abilities: what actually works today This is the section most in need of correcting against a video this old. The Hela-focused team-up the source video demonstrates repeatedly (Hela reviving a dead Loki on a kill) is called Laufeyson Reborn — and the current wiki explicitly flags it as **unavailable in the current season**. Don't build around it. The team-up that's actually live today is Deific Blessing: when Loki or Groot share a team with Mantis, Regeneration Domain gets upgraded with a larger area of effect and grants everyone standing in it a 25% damage boost on top of the healing. If you have a Mantis on your team, that changes when and how aggressively you want to use the domain — it's now an offensive cooldown as much as a defensive one. ## Positioning and weaknesses (his counters) Loki plays best hugging his own front line rather than sniping from a distant perch — staying close keeps him out of easy pick range, keeps his cooldowns available for the team instead of his own survival, and means his frequent Regeneration Domain casts benefit his tanks too, not just himself.A common advanced technique: place two clones in a triangle formation around yourself so an enemy targeting you with a tracking ability can't easily tell which of the three is the real Loki — then swap between them to keep the enemy guessing while all three shoot simultaneously.
## How this guide was fact-checked The source video is from July 2025 — well over a year old relative to the current game — and this guide relies primarily on the Marvel Rivals Wiki (marvelrivals.wiki.gg, current as of a November 2025 revision) for every specific number, using the video only for gameplay technique and philosophy that don't depend on exact figures. Two corrections matter most: Mystical Missile's healing is 50 per hit (not 40 as the video states), with no damage falloff described in current data versus the range-based falloff the video demonstrates; and clones deal 20% less damage and healing than Loki himself, contradicting the video's implied 1:1 output. The single biggest correction is structural rather than numeric: the video's Hela-revival team-up (Laufeyson Reborn) is explicitly marked unavailable in the current season by the wiki, and has been replaced in relevance by the Mantis team-up (Deific Blessing), which didn't exist when the video was recorded and isn't mentioned in it at all. Regeneration Domain, Doppelganger's cooldown and clone health, Deception's healing rate, and Backstab's 45 bonus damage all matched current data exactly and needed no correction. ## What this guide doesn't answer This guide doesn't include up-to-the-patch numbers for every secondary interaction (like exact interactions with every possible hero Loki might copy), since the source video predates the current patch by over a year and a full audit of every copied ultimate's current behavior is outside its scope. It also doesn't cover matchup-specific advice against the current hero roster in depth — the weaknesses section reflects general categories (dive, summon-clear, burst-to-the-rune) rather than a fully updated list of which heroes counter Loki today. It doesn't cover crosshair or sensitivity settings either, since the source is a kit and technique masterclass rather than a settings tips video — see this catalogue's dedicated settings guides for that. --- ## FAQ ### Is Loki good in Marvel Rivals? Yes - his splash healing can outperform dedicated burst healers once you consistently keep two clones active, and his output scales further with the current Mantis team-up. The catch is he requires constant cooldown management to reach that ceiling. ### What is Loki's current team-up ability? Deific Blessing, shared with Groot when Mantis is on the team. It upgrades Regeneration Domain with a larger area of effect and a 25% damage boost for allies standing in it. The older Hela-revival team-up (Laufeyson Reborn) is currently unavailable in the game. ### How much do Loki's clones heal and damage for? Loki's Mystical Missile deals 30 damage and heals 50 per hit. Clones deal 20% less than Loki himself, so a single shot with both clones active lands roughly 130 total healing on a clustered target, not a flat triple. ### Can Loki teleport through walls? Yes, via Devious Exchange - he can swap places with any clone within 30 meters with no line of sight required, including through solid walls. It's on a 15-second cooldown and works even without targeting a specific clone. ### What counters Loki in Marvel Rivals? Multiple dive threats back to back (his defensive cooldowns are finite), heroes that can erase summoned objects or one-shot his rune stones, and a soft, spread-out or airborne front line that denies his splash healing group targets to land on.
