Talk:Loki (Warframe)/@comment-24563582-20140523192848

So I've found a neat workaround with Loki. I'm not sure if it's been used extensively. I use a unique build for Loki centered around a balance between Invisiblity and Radial Disarm. I use Natural Talent. I don't have Energy Siphon as I find energy is readily available when every ability is reduced to its lowest cost. And chances are at least two of the people on the team will have it slotted anyway. I was depressed when I had to let go of Decoy. But, there is a loophole. Radiation. When everything has been Disarmed, if there is an enemy out there (not sure yet if Heavy units pull more aggro) that is inflicted with Confusion, enemies in a certain area around it will gang up on it...leaving Loki free to descend with melee. It's almost like casting Decoy with no energy cost, except you can have more than one Decoy active on the map at a time. Just did a thirty minute solo run on t2 survival with five life support capsules waiting to be activated as I left. I only left because of the hotfix and because I wanted to switch up weapon configurations.

I'm almost certain that if you inflict Radiation while Invisible, Confusion will set in immediately as the victim will have no target. Or, Confusion can be spread and then Invisibility can be activated. Breaking Line Of Sight is what sets off Confusion from what I've seen. Common knowledge, I'm sure, but the information on the Confusion status is a bit limited.

I've also suffered no knockdown from a confused Heavy Gunner's ground slam attack, though the hostile units around me were affected. Confused units appear to behave in a manner similar to those temporarily classified 'friendly' during Invasions.

I share what I know on Radiation so that anyone who reads this can use it as a substitute for Decoy. I think it's pretty nifty. ^.^
