How to play Loki

Overview & game plan

A trickster: wins not through damage but by dismantling enemy turns – Spellbound, illusions, gambles.

If after roll 1 5× Mischief for Glorious Purpose! are reachable. Keep 5× Mischief and reroll all dice not needed, aiming at Glorious Purpose! (5 dice). If fewer than 5 matching dice remain after roll 1, switch to Double Take. Glorious Purpose! deals a documented 10 damage and applies spellbound, so the 5 committed dice stay on the table.

Strengths

  • Spellbound covers enemy abilities – simply forbid their strongest move
  • Illusion: the attacker picks blind – all, half, or NOTHING gets through (~50%)
  • Mockery at 6/7/8 is one of the hardest core attacks
  • Double Take: 7 undefendable + 2 Spellbound + Illusion in one turn

Weaknesses

  • Tip the Scale prevents 0 – without an Illusion token you are naked
  • Illusion is a gamble: 50% on average, nothing in the worst case

How you defend

Tip the Scale: 1 die, 0 prevention – it only generates tokens (scepter: Spellbound, mischief: Illusion). Your real defense is banked Illusions (~50% per spend).

Concrete playing rules

Resources

  • Illusion: Max 2: spend when attacked – the attacker blindly picks one of 3 cards: full, half, or no damage. Antics, Vilify (when behind), Double Take, Kneel to Me (mischief), ultimate. Against every hit of 6+ – on average it halves, with luck it erases.
  • Bag of Tricks: Max 2 on the holder: roll in upkeep – 1: −1 CP; 2–5: LOKI chooses (heal 2 / +1 CP / take 2 damage); 6: +2 CP. Antics, Vex, Vilify, Kneel to Me, ultimate (hand out up to 4). Gift them generously to opponents: on 2–5 YOU decide – usually that means 2 damage for them.
