Decoy
Loki creates a decoy that that distracts enemies in the area, forcing them to approach and fire at the decoy.
This ability is useful for distracting enemies when trying to do other tasks in missions as well as making opening for you and your team to advance or escape.

Augment Mod: Savior Decoy makes the casting speed of decoy faster and when Loki is near fatal damage, he will swap places with the decoy.
Invisibility
Loki renders himself invisible allowing him to sneak up to enemies and kill them or kill groups of enemies without being targeted.
Whether things get stealthy or messy, going invisible will help Loki go by enemies freely or kill them with ease as they might panic but will not be sure where to fire and during the invisibility time chances enemies will shoot Loki are slim.

This ability is good for moving across great distances, saving allies or confusing hard to kill targets but in some cases this may be used to teleport certain NPC’s in game to allow them to reach their destination faster.
