Summary

  • Loki can use his Ultimate Ability to mimic an opponent, making him appear as a teammate until an attack is made.
  • This hidden feature allows Loki to bypass enemy lines unnoticed, adding a new level of strategy in Marvel Rivals.
  • Fans may start using Loki more due to this trick, impacting the meta and prompting the developers to consider critical changes.

A Marvel Rivals fan has shared that when Loki's Ultimate Ability, God of Mischief, is used on an opponent player, then the game doesn't show the enemy marker on the character. This can be an extremely handy ability if used at the right moment, and many Marvel Rivals fans seem to have missed this all this while.

Marvel Rivals quickly became one of the biggest sensations in the gaming industry in just a span of a few weeks. The first season of the game marked the debut of some exciting new characters, with the members of The Fantastic Four joining the fray. While the character abilities are well-defined in Marvel Rivals, fans have been finding unique ways to gain an edge over their opponents. In one such instance, a player has found a crucial Loki trick.

In a new post, Redditor CommanderT2020 reveals a little-known aspect of Loki's ultimate ability in Marvel Rivals. Loki's Ultimate Ability, God of Mischief, allows players to simply morph themselves into another character on the playing field and use their Ultimate Ability. This essentially means Loki doesn't have a unique Ultimate Ability of his own, but gives the player the option to use any of the eleven other ones on the battlefield. However, what CommanderT2020 has discovered is that if players use Loki's God of Mischief attack on an opponent, then their character will appear as a regular teammate to their enemies.

Loki's Ultimate Ability Trick Has Potential to Affect the Meta

This hidden feature makes Loki's Ultimate Ability even more powerful, as it will allow players to basically sneak past enemy lines unnoticed. Loki does not enjoy the same popularity as some of the other Strategists in Marvel Rivals, such as the likes of Rocket Raccoon and Cloak and Dagger. This is due to the fact that Loki is good only on certain maps, and the right team composition is needed to make the most of his abilities. However, with this newly discovered trick, fans might use it more often.

As the first Season of Marvel Rivals reaches the halfway mark, the developers are gearing up for some critical changes to the game. Leaks have suggested that Marvel Rivals could be making an array of changes to Heroes and team-ups, which could significantly shake up the meta. The developers have been quite receptive to player feedback lately, so it will be interesting to see which fan requests get implemented in the upcoming update.
