My first good placement in a PvP ever since I don't know when, now my Loki has 3 covers, eek. Can only explain my luck by the time though, a lot fewer players atm (still a bunch active though)

I love the feeling of doing well when you're not expecting too. And as a Loki fan, team him up with Patch and enjoy the slaughter.

My Patch is one yellow cover (danke Simulator ) Ghast wrote: You do not want a 5/5 Loki. Would have never guessed on my own, thanks for the tip! It's a long way ahead still, it seems

My first good placement in a PvP ever since I don't know when, now my Loki has 3 covers, eek. Can only explain my luck by the time though, a lot fewer players atm (still a bunch active though) This is VERY VERY IMPORTANT. Do not give Loki more than three Purple covers. You want 5 black (for Patch!) and 3 purple. Too many purple covers makes his tile shift ability useless. Three covers lets Patch use Berserker Rage, Loki use Trickery to remove enemy strike tiles, and then Loki follows with a mid-level Illusion that moves just enough tiles to create a cascade. You do not want a 5/5 Loki.

A Loki with 3 purple shifts just enough tiles to make interesting things happen. You tend to create match 3s for extra damage, position other useful color matches for your final move in the turn, and occasionally cause big cascades. This tends to end Lightning Round matches quickly. With 5 purple, you get to sit around as Loki creates interesting matches and then swaps crucial tiles out at the last minute. Rather than cause massive Patch-buffed damage, Loki winds up reshuffling the board without causing any actual damage or collecting any more AP for you.
