Loki struggles against heroes who can reveal or disrupt his tricks and deal high sustained damage. Here’s what heroes to play and how to counter Loki:

Vanguard Counters

Venom: Cellular Corrosion (Right Click) slows Loki, making it harder for him to reposition and escape. Feast of the Abyss (Q) lets Venom ambush Loki, dealing heavy damage while healing himself.
Hulk: Gamma Grenade (LShift) knocks Loki airborne, interrupting his illusions and crowd control. Incredible Leap (Space) allows Hulk to engage Loki quickly and pressure him in close combat.
Peni Parker: Cyber-Web Snare (Right Click) immobilizes Loki, preventing him from using his illusions. Spider-Sweeper (Q) deals consistent area damage, punishing Loki for staying near teammates.

Duelist Counters

Black Panther: Sprint Rend (LShift) lets Black Panther dash in and apply pressure to Loki. Spinning Kick (E) interrupts Loki’s abilities and applies Vibranium Marks for bonus damage.
Magik: Stepping Discs (LShift) allows Magik to teleport into Loki’s position, making it harder for him to escape. Umbral Incursion (E) launches Loki airborne, interrupting his abilities and creating an opportunity for follow-up attacks.
Punisher: Scourge Grenade (Right Click) blinds Loki, disrupting his ability to aim or use illusions. Culling Turret (E) creates an area of denial, forcing Loki to reposition or take damage.
Iron Man: Unibeam (Right Click) fires a powerful straight-line blast that can reveal and damage Loki’s illusions. Invincible Pulse Cannon (Q) deals significant area damage, punishing Loki and any illusions nearby.
Iron Fist: K’un-Lun Kick (LShift) closes the gap on Loki and deals high melee damage. Living Chi (Q) boosts Iron Fist’s damage and sustain, allowing him to outlast Loki in close-range fights.

Abilities to Watch Out For

Doppelganger (E): Loki creates illusions to confuse and distract enemies. Use area damage or crowd control to reveal the real Loki.
Devious Exchange (F): Loki swaps places with an illusion, allowing him to escape or set up counterattacks. Be mindful of his positioning during fights.
Soul Leech (Passive): Loki heals himself when illusions damage enemies. Focus on taking him down quickly to avoid prolonged fights.

Quick Tips

Focus the Real Loki: Use area-of-effect abilities or crowd control to reveal Loki and his illusions.
Apply Pressure Early: Loki relies on disrupting and confusing enemies. Aggressive play can force him into mistakes.
Stay Mobile: Constant movement makes it harder for Loki to land his illusions or set up ambushes.
