Overview
This video reviews the performance of the new Loki character in the Ratatoskr demonic beast fight, focusing on his strengths as a DPS and support unit. The creator provides a detailed breakdown of Loki's gear, team setup, and his effectiveness across all phases of the boss fight.
Loki Build and Team Setup
- Loki is geared with attack/crit damage to maximize his DPS role.
- Team setup includes Yorm (HP/defense), Liz (HP/defense), and Valente (double crit resistance/defense).
- Artifact card set used is Nhogg for defense-related stats under "food poisoning" debuff.
- Attack food is used, boosting Loki's attack by about 2,000 points.
- Loki does not use UR gear, making his build more accessible.
Loki's Skills and Fight Utility
- Loki's AoE skill has double crit chance, triple crit damage, and always benefits from the "king, queen, or jack" buff for 100% increased damage.
- Single target attack removes gauge from the boss, preventing ultimates and adding utility.
- Buffs from Loki also apply to Yorm, enhancing overall team performance.
- Buffs cycle through max HP, attack-related stats, and all stats, all beneficial.
- Loki can perform without high dependency on ally buffs for his AoE.
Performance in Ratatoskr Boss Fight
- Loki deals strong damage on both AoE and single target attacks throughout all fight phases.
- Consistently effective at clearing phases, scaling well with available buffs.
- Ultimate deals significant damage even without max HP gear (1.7 million AoE observed).
- Gauge reduction utility helps prevent boss ultimates and petrify effects.
- Proved to be reliable and smooth for the entire run, with minimal stalling required.
Comparison with Other Characters
- Loki ranks among the top DPS for the Ratatoskr fight, alongside King, Deian, and LR Brund.
- Offers a balance of damage and team support; outperforms some units that rely more on counters or debuffs.
- Potentially viable on other demonic beast floors (e.g., bird and deer) as a green DPS option.
Final Impressions and Recommendations
- Loki is highly recommended as a DPS and support for Ratatoskr, though not a must-summon for all players.
- Especially beneficial for those lacking top-tier options like King or Deian.
- Consistent damage output and utility make him a strong candidate for future team builds.
