Info

  • Loki expends 25 energy to swap positions with a target within 25 / 40 / 60 / 75 meters, whether it be friendly or hostile. After switching, Loki gains a 30% / 35% / 40% / 50% Movement Speed bonus for 3.5 / 4 / 4.5 / 5 seconds. When cast on an enemy target, it will taunt its former allies into attacking it for ? seconds after Loki switches places.
    • Switching positions with an enemy will cause it to become confused for a brief duration and will not attack until it reorients itself.
      • Confusion will not apply to boss-type enemies.
  • If attempting to Switch Teleport a unit to an out-of-bounds location, Loki will simply teleport to them instead.
  • Requires direct line of sight. Slightly changing position sometimes can re-enable otherwise invalid target.
  • Can be used in the air.
  • Has a cast time of 0.5 seconds.
  • Grineer Commanders use a similar ability, stunning Tenno for a short moment.

Safeguard Switch is a Warframe Augment Mod for  Loki that makes him briefly invulnerable on switching with enemies, gives allies invulnerability when switching with them, and cleanses Status Effects from himself and switched allies.

Tips & Tricks

  • Switch Teleport can be used on:
    • Enemies (including Bosses, excluding Lephantis)
    • Corpses and gibs (they tend to teleport to a place of death, without switching).
    • Teammates (teammates cannot be switched from active extraction zone)
    • Decoys created by yourself, a fellow Loki, a  Saryn's  Molt, or a  Wukong's  Celestial Twin.
  • Unlike  Ash, Loki is unable to teleport to objects.
  • You can easily move past a group of enemies by targeting the enemy furthest away, Switch teleporting, and then continuing to run.
  • Switch Teleport can be used to easily bypass laser barriers and similar traps within Spy vaults, by casting Decoy in the desired location and then switch-teleporting to it. Decoy itself will not set off laser traps, though it can potentially alert enemies within the vault, causing them to set off the alarm.
  • Switch Teleport also works on allies who are bleeding out, allowing the transportation of them to a safer area out of the way of enemies if necessary.
  • Can be used on Dargyn Pilots on the Plains of Eidolon to instantly steal Tusk Dargyns.
  • Can be used to skip a Spy vault with glass obstacle (with one Grineer inside), especially on Grineer Asteroid tileset.
  • Improving Casting Speed allows you to resume attacking sooner after teleporting.
