Hello Guys and welcome to my first guide for Smitefire!
I have been playing Loki a hell of a lot and have finally perfected a build that I think works insanely well for him. This build relies on speed and power in order to kill enemies and get away quickly. This guide focuses on jungling as Loki and how to help in lanes and save your team.
I thought I would add the Pros/Cons here also as it would look cleaner -
The reason these items are chosen is as followed -
Bumba's Mask - Loki is a very squishy character and this stands out more than ever early on, with buffs being very hard to get and the gold furies taking huge chunks out of your health. This items is perfect for any jungling allowing mana to be restored and health to be stolen back.
Warrior Tabi - These are a preffered choice of mine for Loki as they allow more damage to be done to tanks. With his passive allowing him to do critical hits every time he hits people in the back it is unneccesary for him to get Ninja Tabi.
The Executioner - This item builds Loki's much needed power and speed, also as he is a hack and slash type of God this drains the enemies defence the more damage he can do.
Heartseeker - This is an incredibly powerful item early on for Gods that are killing minions, every minion that is killed gives +1 physical power allowed you to gain 50+ Physical power easily. It also helps with Loki's movement and power which this build focuses on.
Fatalis - This item is perfect for what my guide focuses on, this helps greatly with Lokis mobility allowing him to chase gods or run away if the need arises. The passive is not very good apart from being able to run equally fast backwards so enemies can be watched.
Winged Wand - This item allows Loki to be about less squishy increasing his health and mana, also it helps with that key movement speed. Also if an enemy hits you with a slow it actually speeds you up allowed you to escape or chase.
Devourer's Gloves - This item allows Loki to hack, slash and stay high on health while doing so, also when getting buffs or clearing minion waves he gains stacks of power and life steal.
Behind You! - Loki has an awesome passive for the assasin type character he is, sneaking up on people is perfect when he can hit an extra 20% more from behind.
Vanish - Many people say Lokis first ability is overpowered, I agree but that shouldn't mean we can't use it! This is insane for pursuing people or running away as the extra speed buff helps greatly.
Decoy - The decoy is very useful early game when in the jungle, this makes minions/towers target the decoy. This can help if you are tower diving as the tower/solitude the enemy has can target that allowed you to secure the kill.
Aimed Strike - This attack in combination with Lokis ultimate work wonders, after Loki's ultimate which stuns instantly use this and it will futher slow and damage enemies.
Assasinate - Loki's ultimate is awesome, jumping onto an enemey damaging them and stunning them for a short time. After using this you have a couple of seconds to hack at them dealing a lot of damage when fully built. Remember this is also a teleport so don't be afraid to use it to escape.
Jungling as Loki is one of my favourite things to do in Smite, in this section I will give you a complete guide on how to do it succesfully -
When you start it is recommened that you help an ally get the mana buff, this helps you get XP right from 10 seconds in, after this politely ask them to help you with the speed buff as this will help you deal damage faster to creeps.
Fury farming -
Farming the gold furies is essential for a jungling Loki, when going up to a fury farm throw your decoy in front of the creeps at a certain distance allowing you to get behind them. Use your Aimed Strike after targetting the middle fury. As your basic hit is a progression chain of five hit one fury four times and then hit another one the swinging strike in order to do equalish damage.
After you are level 5 and your speed buff has worn off go for an attack buff while attacking furies and helping in lanes when needed. When you have tier 2 of The Executioner you can start ganking lanes and getting kills, you shouldn't have to rely on furies if you get enough kills and help out in lanes.
Thanks for reading my guide on Loki and if you have any suggestions or improvements I would love to read them. If you have alternative items I'd be happy to try them out and edit my guide if needs be.

Also, why blink instead of beads + aegis? I could understand dropping Aegis for hotg, if nobody else wants to carry it, but I think Blink is kinda useless with a 240sec cd, when beads + vanish or aegis + ult to run away will get you out the same.
I wonder why combatblink? Isn't normal blink better because of CD is 240:CB and 45:Blink and you are ganking
As Loki is such a squishy god then it really helps him get out of situations that he would otherwise die in, either can be used but it's personal preference.
