Smite: Bloodforge Vs Stone Cutting Sword on Loki! (ADC)

[@RobinBoyGaming]

Those are some really good points, nice video :D

[@ProfessorLoki]

+RobinBoy|SMITE| thanks.

yoo

[@doubled7854]

Glad you mentioned the last part. I have tried blood forge on clash and I feel it is better because as you said, the map is so closed in, movement speed is not to important. Stone cutting sword is also very good as you can box a little bit. I'm debating whether just getting both late game.

[@ProfessorLoki]

+Double D How can you get both, what will you remove? Hydra's? Trans?

[@yep6758]

+ProfessorLoki hydras

[@doubled7854]

+ProfessorLoki Damn, your right. Gotta choose one, hydra is to good on loki and trans power is just to good to let go. What would you prefer for clash? Stone or blood?

[@ProfessorLoki]

Double D Simply do this, small maps=blood big maps=stone. Conq and siege i pref stone, clash, joust i pref blood.

[@doubled7854]

+ProfessorLoki Noted.

What do you think about Masamune on Loki? Looking for Solo and Adc roles..

[@Polevolter]

Before I actually attempt to play Loki ADC, I have two scenarios, which I hope you'd help me with and one question. (First Scenario) Loki ADC vs Freya ADC -Would you want your support to stay and help clear as Freya's Banish negates your clear? -Any other things about this match up? (Second Scenario) Loki ADC vs Skadi ADC -Would I have to play passive in lane to avoid getting killed by Kaldr and his pet, Skadi? -Any other things worth nothing about this match up? (Question) Are you thinking of taking the title "BestLokiNA/EU"?

[@ProfessorLoki]

+Stabby Stab (First Scenario) Loki ADC vs Freya ADC -So we all know that Freya counters Loki with the banish to the decoy. Which is exactly is one of the reasons why i stopped playing solo Loki because i don't have wave clear. So instead, playing ADC allows your support to help you clear. Freya will also lose mana real fast if she banishes consistently, UNLIKE in solo, when Freya gets a BLUE buff...There are no "tricks" to counter her banish. Just have a guardian with good clear, like bacchus, and ymir. But don't worry, I have not seen Freya ADC at all lately, so you probably won't find one either...i hope... (Second Scenario) Loki ADC vs Skadi ADC -Skadi is honestly a damn nuisance. It's not even Skadi, it's the dog that does her damage...(mind as well make Kaldr the new God and Skadi as the "bitch" hahaha :P) But don't worry, Skadi cannot actually hurt you unless you make the first move, because your 1 cancels Kaldr's targeting. Phew...wait...her dog can block your 1,3 and your basic attacks if you hit the dog instead of Skadi. ALWAYS have beads ready when fighting her so you won't get rooted and get raped by the dog. If you really want to look cool, predict Skadi's 1 and ult her as soon as she uses it so it doesn't hit you and then Kaldr won't deal double damage. (Question) Are you thinking of taking the title "BestLokiNA/EU"? -I am not nor will i ever be BestLokiNA, because there are no such thing as "Best-Loki" which is why i named my self "ProfessorLoki." BestLokiNA's channel was mainly 1v1's and not much about "tutorials" even though in his gameplay he did say what to get as Loki or what to do as Loki. But those were all from beta to season 1 so they are completely out dated. Basically, my title is "ProfessorLoki" so i'm making mine up just like how BestLokiNA did. :)

[@digiiiii2]

can u make video about actives for loki?

[@ProfessorLoki]

Look in my tutorial playlists, there should be a video around 800 views that explains what relics you should get for Loki.

[@08baby25]

I only use bloodforge on Daji and Bastet. I don't understand why people use it on Kali or Loki.

[@IrakliKandelaki]

Okay, A regular subscriber here of you, do you consider having SCS with 10 % mov. speed better than having +20 flat pen by Crusher or Brawler's? Well I prefer SCS, but when I posted it on Smite forums, hold on man, people hated me for that statement, since flat pen can finish a bit faster they prefer to have one, what do you say?

[@ProfessorLoki]

+Irrrakli Again, I do not focus on damage, damage, damage. Loki already has enough damage so buy an item that supports that. Movement speed, health, SCS's passive, protections all help. Give Loki more of an option instead of pure DPS.

[@IrakliKandelaki]

+ProfessorLoki I agree, that's what I am doing since I started playing Loki, yet they say "I can't follow the guide which recommends me SCS over Brawler's/Crusher", idk everyone has their opinion but the hate was real on that.

[@ProfessorLoki]

Irrrakli The recommended builds are for people who don't know what to get for that God. Recommended builds contain the most simplest build for that God. Custom builds are for more experienced players who understands the God enough to know which item works best for them.

[@CT_904]

What would be the best build for in arena in your opinion for the 6 items?

[@ProfessorLoki]

+Dark lord Satan 666 I haven't played Loki arena for around 1 and a half year. Honestly, start with warrior tabi and rush johtns and hydra's, then titans bane then trans. You get trans late game so you can let your mages and hunters to get their stacks first. By the time they are finished stacking, your decoy should be around to 1 shot the minion wave.

[@CT_904]

+ProfessorLoki oh ok thx

[@popescuioan5758]

what about deathbringer instead of stone cutting?

[@popescuioan5758]

does it increase the passive dmg?

[@popescuioan5758]

i mean loki's passive

[@kale158]

Loki's passive isn't crit.. :/

[@zachevans1195]

y not use masamune instead of stone cutting because its way cheaper and gives the same movement speed and power

[@ProfessorLoki]

+Zach Evans SCS has pen for the passive so ultimately it will deal damage. I have tested this on a full physical defense ymir in customs. SCS does more damage.

[@brrr8904]

+ProfessorLoki I recently got back into smite, been playing arena mostly until I get used to everything again, and I remember that executioner and quin sais were very popular items. I remember almost always building it on my Loki, but recently I noticed that no one uses exec or quin, what's up with that?

[@Moluminati]

do you main loki kapparino

[@ProfessorLoki]

+Moluminati Yes

[@johnrockaqw3830]

(Just a heads up, I know you said this was just your opinion; So here is what I think on it)People here are agreeing with you waayy too quickly, your first con for Bloodforge is literally nothing. Its like wanting to buy a pari of shoes that are 100$ but you have 115$. Just cause the life-steal is there doesn't mean its a negative, negative would mean it affected your game in a BAD way, having that should literally do nothing to the way you play Loki. Also some of the things you stated were VERY circumstantial and VERY bias. You talked about how SCS gave you permanent 10% attack speed and the BF only gave you a shield and 20% that was temporary but you never thought to talk about how blocking 400 damage WHILE having 20% movement speed is WAAAY more beneficial because yes 10% is permanent but you could still take damage while you are running away and BF negates that, thats 1 powerfull attack blocked. (Janus unstable vortext, 2 shots from and ADC etc). Then you talked about tower diving if you were Loki and you were in the "red" zone for health. Just why? If you had stone cutting you wouldn't do that, why would you do it with BF. All of your cons are assuming people change the way they play (Which you stated is an issue) but if you literally just played Loki the same way you played him with SCS then you are actually almost better of with BF in MOST(not all) cases.That aside, great video! Keep it up man!

[@ProfessorLoki]

+JohnRock AQW Con does't mean "negative" and "negative" doesn't always have to mean a bad thing. Just like how some negative people are considered bad thinkers which is a load of bs. Anyway, when i mean by "con" is that it serves no purpose NOT that it reduces Loki's power or something. The lifesteal of BF is neither a buff or debuff for Loki. The rest of your comment is a controversial, contradicting, and hypocritical. You know that it is my opinion but yet you think your opinion is correct by stating "People here are agreeing with you waayy too quickly" which implies that im wrong. You state that i am bias and circumstantial and yet you stated the same thing. I said that this is my "opinion" so you don't have to go through writing an essay of what you think i did wrong and what you think is actually correct. Yes, what i stated was "circumstantial" and "bias" because i admitted it in the video and also said, "if you were in this situation..." or "it depends if you go attack speed or pen...etc" You are just telling me what i already said. You may get BF if you want idc. I think that BF is for smaller maps that rely less on being fast and more in a CONSTANT teamfight such as clash and joust, while SCS would be better on conquest and siege. But besides that, have fun and good luck Loki player.
