Loqi Tummelt New Hero Guide

Loqi Tummelt New Hero Guide

Move over Prompto, another light-haired beauty has come to Eos to steal our hearts! The new hero Loqi has well-balanced combat stats that will help you no matter what game style you have. In order to participate in the upcoming Forts event, you’ll want to unlock Loqi and level him up so you can hold your very own Fort.

Loqi Hero Skills

The first thing that stands out to me about Loqi’s Hero Skills is the high-level requirements needed before you can unlock the first level. Some of them are even higher than the Mastery Skill nodes of the same type! Although his Hero Skills are pretty hefty compared to recently released heroes, you will have to put a lot of Medals into him before you can get the benefits from the skills. 

The Royal Realm Defense skills are going to be a good way to counter the high Royal Realm Assault stats from the Mercurial Exosuit Condensed Energem.

Loqi Mastery Skills

Not only are the hero levels needed for some of the Mastery Skills lower than that of the same Hero Skills, but their stats are also higher! This makes him a good hero to have just for the passive boosts alone. 

The first skill allows you to capture ONE Fort Loqi, which is also stated in the blog that there will be a limit of one per player, whether it’s the Gold or Regular variety. 

Other than the higher stats, most of the Masteries are similar to those in the Hero Skills with the addition of Battle Marks, Mirror Hero, and March Size increases.

Guild Adventure Hall

Loqi has a couple of interesting abilities in the Guild Adventurers Hall. His second ability, Energizing Slash, will give an additional 25% damage to his next hit. Meanwhile, his third ability, Omega Wave, will protect Loqi from any damage in the next attack. If you have his third ability, you’re going to be better off just using that instead of switching back and forth to get that additional damage. But you won’t ever have to worry about your health since Omega Wave will block any incoming attacks!

His Hero Skills give a max of 9M% Physical Damage Bonus, along with the 4,000 base attack don’t make him the BEST in the Dungeons, but he will do just fine as a damage dealer.

Mirror Hero: Loqi

Ever since the release of the Anti-Verstael Mirror research, you might be looking for some alternate Mirror Heroes to use in combat. The Loqi Mirror might be the beast that you need to squeeze a few extra kills out of your enemies. Although, you will have to test different setups to see what works best for you. Do NOT forget to do the Mirror Hero research, not only to unlock the Loqi Mirror Hero but to gain a larger boost than is provided by the Mastery Skills. 

The Loqi Mirror Hero increases Royal Dark Core stats as well as Royal Dark Realm bonuses.

Battle Mark Boosts

The last few hero releases included gear Enchantments, but not Loqi. Instead, there are Battle Mark skills in his Mastery tree. These skills boost the Royal Dark Attack stats for Dark Core and Elemental troops. 

As long as you have the Battle Mark feature unlocked, these boosts will apply as long as your opponent has an active Battle Mark placed upon their empire. To maximize the benefits received from Battle Marks, be sure to complete the Royal Combat research. There is also another Battle Marks research tree, but it’s from a while ago, so you most likely have it completed. While the boosts might be outdated, some of the functions are useful, such as Battle Mark Duration and Increase Battle Mark Target Limit.

Loqi’s Medal requirements seem to follow Libertus and Titus. If this changes further down the line, please let us know!

Summary

If you’re wondering whether or not to unlock Loqi as the newest hero in your empire, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, if you will be a Fort contender, it looks like Loqi is going to be a must to get first dibs on the Forts spawning in your realm. Next, there are a few Royal Realm Defense stats that will help you with any battles outside of any Citadels whether they belong to a player or a PvE. But most importantly, you should know that his Hero Skills require a higher hero level than most other heroes have needed, so he will need a larger Medals investment at the start.

His stats are well-rounded for any type of combat, with higher than average troop debuffs included. Since he focuses a lot on Dark Core troops, he might be the key to defensive empires holding strong against the toughest opponents.
