In the chaotic, ever-shifting battlegrounds of Marvel Rivals, Loki remains the ultimate trickster. His Ultimate, God of Mischief, lets him transform into any hero on the field and immediately unleash their Ultimate ability. It's a wildcard that can flip a team fight in seconds. As of 2026, with new heroes and balance tweaks, the question of who to clone has only grown more nuanced. But some things never change: certain Ultimates are simply too good to pass up. So, let's break down the best characters for Loki to copy when the pressure is on.
🌙 Luna Snow – The Healing Savior
When Loki clones Luna Snow, he taps into one of the strongest Strategist Ultimates in the game. Fate of Both Worlds creates a massive AOE that can either boost damage or heal allies. The healing is so potent that it can out-heal damage from many other Ultimates—Star-Lord, Psylocke, Spider-Man, you name it. If your team is down a Strategist and about to be wiped, cloning Luna Snow is a literal lifesaver. As any support main will tell you, sometimes you just need a big heal button.
🚀 Star-Lord – The Aerial Assassin
Star-Lord's Ultimate, Culling, grants him free flight and aimbot-like lock-on fire. It's perfect for securing picks or even a full team wipe. When Loki clones Star-Lord, he can immediately take to the skies and unleash hell. It might be overkill, but if you coordinate with a Star-Lord on your team, you can have two aimbots raining down destruction. Trust me, the enemy won't know what hit them.
🧙 Doctor Strange – The Master of Control
Doctor Strange has been a top Vanguard since launch, and his Ultimate, Eye of Agamotto, is one of the best crowd-control abilities in the game. Cloning him gives Loki access to portals, a shield, and that devastating stun. You can use the portal for a clutch objective touch in overtime, or absorb damage on the front line. The flexibility is endless. As a trickster, Loki probably enjoys the irony of copying the Sorcerer Supreme.
🫥 Invisible Woman – The Unseen Guardian
Invisible Woman is a top-tier Strategist with high heals and a passive invisibility. Her Ultimate, Invisible Boundary, creates a massive AOE that heals allies, makes them invisible, and slows enemies. This can mitigate damage from several Ultimates and save a team fight. Cloning her is rarely a bad choice, especially if you need to lock down an objective or buy time. It's like giving your team a second life.
🌑 Moon Knight – The Fist of Khonshu
Moon Knight is a situational pick, but his Ultimate, Hand of Khonshu, deals massive AOE damage almost instantly. It's one of the few DPS Ultimates that can secure kills through Invisible Woman's healing field. Loki can clone Moon Knight, throw down ankhs, and unleash the Ultimate for a quick team fight swing. If you can catch the enemy grouped up, it's devastating. Just don't expect to survive if you miss.
💀 Hela – The Queen of Hel
Hela's Ultimate, Goddess of Death, lets her fly above the battlefield and rain down high-damage blasts. She can two-hit KO most squishies. Cloning Hela allows Loki to apply pressure from above, deny the point, and force the enemy to either push through the damage or retreat. You don't have to use the Ultimate immediately—her base kit is also great for picks and repositioning. As the goddess of death, she's a natural fit for Loki's mischief.
🩹 Cloak & Dagger – The Dynamic Duo
Cloak & Dagger have been a top Strategist since Season 0, and their Ultimate, Eternal Bond, locks down an area with a trail that heals allies and damages enemies. They gain it faster than most, and it can sustain a team through huge fights. Cloning them as Loki is excellent, especially if you have your own C&D to rotate Ultimates every other fight. It's a tag-team effort that the enemy will hate.
🤖 Iron Man – The One-Shot Wonder
Iron Man's Ultimate, Invincible Pulse Cannon, can one-shot almost any hero in the game. Cloning him gives Loki a guaranteed pick if he lands the blast. This is crucial during objective fights, especially in overtime. If the enemy is forced to stay on the point, Loki can clone Iron Man and either kill them or force them off. It's a high-risk, high-reward play that can win rounds.
🦾 Winter Soldier – The Combo King
Winter Soldier's Ultimate, Kraken, lets him slam into the ground, mark enemies, and finish them with combos. Each marked kill resets the Ultimate. Loki can clone him to lead a massive offensive push or confirm kills in a chaotic fight. It's tricky to execute perfectly, but a skilled Loki can carry a team fight with it. The enemy will scatter, and your team can clean up.
✨ Adam Warlock – The Resurrectionist
Adam Warlock is a situational clone, but his Ultimate, Karmic Revival, mass-resurrects fallen allies. If you're the last one alive in a crucial fight, cloning Adam Warlock can bring your team back and completely flip the battle. Loki doesn't need Adam's healing or damage—just that game-changing revive. It's the ultimate comeback mechanic.
In 2026, Loki remains one of the most versatile heroes in Marvel Rivals. Knowing who to clone and when is the key to mastering him. Whether you need healing, crowd control, or raw damage, there's a perfect clone for every situation. So next time you play Loki, keep your eyes on the enemy team and your finger on the Ultimate button. The right clone can turn a loss into a victory. And remember, as the God of Mischief, you're always one step ahead.
