MARVEL Tōkon Fighting Souls Loki Character Guide
How to learn Loki in MARVEL Tōkon Fighting Souls — tricks, traps, and mind games.
Loki is a launch fighter in MARVEL Tōkon Fighting Souls, appearing on the Samurai Outriders team. There is no standalone official character guide yet — this page uses the verified Samurai Outriders trailer and pre-launch archetype notes to frame his deception / technical playstyle.
Playstyle snapshot
Loki sits in the roster’s technical bucket alongside fighters like Magik, Peni Parker, and Danger. Marketing and preview copy describe illusions, magical tricks, and traps that punish impatient opponents — a kit built on reads, not raw speed.
In 4v4 tag teams, Loki often fills the flex or assist seat: the character you bring in when you need mix-up layers after Wall Breaks open more assists, or when your point character needs a confusing secondary plan. He is rarely the “press buttons until it works” onboarding pick.
Watch the Samurai Outriders trailer embedded on this page, then lab Loki’s Unique and movement in Training once you have baseline defense from Controls.
How to start learning Loki
- Finish Startup Battle and ten casual matches on an easier point (Captain America or Ms. Marvel) before maining Loki.
- Map Light / Medium / Heavy / Unique in Training — technical characters punish sloppy inputs.
- Lab one safe poke and one punish tool for five minutes each before chasing illusion setups.
- Draft a straightforward point + Loki secondary in Team Builder — Ghost Rider midrange control is a common Samurai Outriders pairing.
- Study Systems so you know when Crossover tags and assists amplify tricks instead of wasting meter.
Assist and team value
Loki shines when teammates cover his weaknesses:
- Space control from Ghost Rider or Blade lets Loki setup without getting rushed for free.
- Stable anchors like Hulk or Doctor Doom protect a life lead while Loki searches for a read.
- Vertical coverage assists help when opponents jump out of trap layers.
Cross-reference Assist Roles and Beginner Teams — do not run four technical seats on day one.
Mind-game discipline
Deception characters lose to calm defense:
- Respect blocks — tricks exist to make people guess wrong, not to skip fundamentals.
- Tag out when your opponent has downloaded your patterns.
- Use Training recordings (if available) or casual rematches to note which setups repeat too often.

- Knows when to tag to a stabilizer teammate
- Drafted a non-technical point character in Team Builder
- Will update when an official Loki guide video publishes
Until a dedicated guide arrives, treat the Samurai Outriders trailer as context — not a complete move list.
