Summary
Marvel Rivalshas reportedly sneaked in a neat Loki update with Season 2.5, enabling the Asgardian’s clones to seamlessly mirror his emotes. Loki is a playable character inMarvel Rivalswho can create his clones using the Doppelganger ability.
Thanks to the diverse roster available inMarvel Rivals, there are plenty of interesting Marvel heroes and villains, with different pros and cons, for players to choose from. Among them, characters such as Loki, Luna Snow, and Hela are quite popular owing to their versatility across the game’s various modes and its selection of maps. In particular,Loki inMarvel Rivalsoffers benefits across offense and defense, with unique healing and attacking powers. Moreover, the character’s ultimate ability, which involves shape-shifting, also makes the encounter tricky and unpredictable for the opposition. Recently, an improvement to one of God of Mischief’s abilities was apparently shipped as part of the latest update by the devs at NetEase.
On Reddit, user njnia revealed that Loki’s clones now copy his emotes in real time, making the Doppelganger ability more useful. The video in the post shows the villainous god and his clone doing the “V for Victory” emote before another clone is summoned by the player, leading to all three of them doing the emote gestures. They said that this detail didn’t exist before and was only implemented inMarvel Rivalspost the Season 2.5 update, which went live on May 30. Although a small change on the surface, Loki’s clone being able to imitate him during emotes naturally makes it harder for the opponent to differentiate, adding to the decoy’s effectiveness. After this fine tweak, it might be fair to expect the Thor nemesis to remain among the popular picks in the hero shooter game.

Several users expressed their approval of this change to Loki’s Doppelganger ability, with one of them saying that now the villain can “aura farm” without getting in the way of danger. On the other hand, certain others showed their interest in trying out Loki’s updated clone ability with their ownemotes inMarvel Rivals. One excited user said, “I think it’s time to main Loki again.”
While such small additions could sometimes go a long way in online battles, it isn’t to say there aren’t some big changes brewing in the background as well. Per recent reports, fan-favorite characters, including Blade, Daredevil, Gambit, Professor X, and more, aresoon to join theMarvel Rivalsroster.
