Info
- Loki expends
50 energy to camouflage himself, turning transparent and rendering him invisible to enemies for
5 / 7 / 9 / 12 seconds. While Loki is invisible, all sound effects are muffled and slightly muted. Loki's vision becomes blurry when he's not in motion, and his visual field becomes more sensitive to light.
- Has a cast delay of 0.75 seconds.
- Cannot be recast while active.
Augment
- Main article: Hushed Invisibility
Hushed Invisibility is a Warframe Augment Mod for Loki's
Invisibility that allows it to reduce the noise level of weapons fired.
Tips & Tricks
- Use as a way of reviving fallen players without having to worry about entering bleedout yourself. Be wary of other revivers though, they will draw fire on you.
- Can be cast in mid-air, which can help you avoid getting gunned down by large crowds during the cast animation, which makes you stay put when used on the ground.
- Changing Loki's energy color to "pure black" (very bottom left color in the Smoke Colors pack) will turn Loki completely invisible, meaning this color gets rid of the shimmering effect.
- As this means you can't see yourself at all, this can make movement and placement for melee attacks more difficult.
- It can be a way in order to take a clear picture if you disable HUD.
- As general rule when playing with others – mind your positioning, flank enemies, keep your distance from allies, and never stay in the line of fire between allies and enemies.
- Since it is not a channeled ability, energy can be regenerated while it is active, meaning
Energy Siphon and
Trinity's
Energy Vampire can provide high uptime.

Bugs
- If active before a boss cut-scene triggers, when the cut-scene finishes Loki will become visible however the duration will not reset.
- Kubrows will be cloaked but will still be targeted by enemies.
- Loki's body (but not the head) may become visible on occasion. Enemies will be able to detect you when this occurs, and the invisibility time will continue to run.

DE really needs to buff duration. octavia with max duration can invis for 40-50s. Loki's is around 30s...
Octavia's costs 75 energy and is limited to a specific zone you cast it on for a short period while you 'crouch spam' to effectively keep it up consistently. (15 seconds base)
Loki's cost 50 energy to freely move anywhere and use any kind of movement. (12 seconds base)
At least its not Ash's Smoke Screen, which is only 35 energy but still a measly 8 seconds at base.
I think his invisibility is perfectly fine.
Specific Zone? The aura is centered on Octavia and follows her. Only your allies have to worry about the zone. I agree that Loki's Invisibility is fine if you are comparing it to Octavia's Invisibility, however... If you compare the abilities instead of just the Invisibility portion of the abilities, or even worse... compare the Warframes... Loki loses out so so much to Octavia.
This seems like a great ability till you learn that octavia ivara and ash also can go invisible and can do much more, like deal extra damage, make teammates invisible or both. Maybe we can give Loki a speed boost or damage boost or maybe even just a utility thing like ivara pickpocketing enemies. Its still better then lokis other abilities though!
Agreed.
Energy Siphon + Coaction Drift + Streamline + Fleeting Expertise + Narrow Minded + Primed Continuity = Infinite Invisibility. You regen energy faster than you spend it. Throw in an optional Arcane Essence Helmet for additional Efficiency.
FUCK EVERY INVIS IN THIS GAME.
FUCK DE.
FUCK WARFRAME...
Nothing more to say...
What?
Ah. I see you are a conclave sweat.
Oh wow. I did NOT realize this ability tied with Stealth Grendel. That's almost sad.
For the longest time, Loki's invisibility graphic has been swapped with Ash's smoke screen graphic. I just never seen anybody make mentions of it or noticed. It's been bugged for so long that the video preview of this ability uses the smoke screen effect.
The longest duration of invisiblity I've gotten is 36.72 seconds (at a cost of 35 energy).
This is using max-ranked: Primed Continuity, Narrow Minded, Constitution, Augur Message (and Streamline for the reduced energy cost). This gives my Loki Prime a total Duration of +306%.
(I'd use the Arcane Essence Loki Helmet and the Pax Bolt ehnancement to further reduce the energy cost, but alas I do not have either). Using Energy Siphon + Coaction Drift makes it so I can regenerate about 30 energy per-invisibility, meaning I need to wait about five seconds before I've enough energy to re-cast Invisibility, making it as close to infinite-invisibility for a solo-Loki player as I've been able to manage.
It should be possible to pull off infinite invisibility with just that current setup plus the Arcane Essence Loki Helmet, as the +15% Ability Efficiency combined with Streamline would give a 145% Efficiency rating, dropping the Invibility casting cost to 27.5 energy, and seeing how the Energy Siphon + Coaction Drift regenerates about 30 energy every 37 seconds... that's more than enough energy to become permanently invisible, provided one pauses to re-cast it every half-minute.
I've looked up my Volt's invisibiltiy here and online in general.....
and frankly nothing I've read here fits. My Volt and Kubrow both go invisible......of course I've only played about 2 months but looking up things here is a pain in the butt.
K, well this is an ability page for the Warframe
Loki, so I'm not surprised you read nothing here that fits. Also, looking things up is not hard. For instance, this page is in the Stealth Abilities category, so you could have clicked the link to that page to find what you're looking for. If you didn't find it there, that category page links to the Stealth page, which does list what you're looking for.
I'd suggest you try looking up the Huras Kubrow though, since that's the Kubrow you currently have equipped.
serious bug right now but if you go into operator mode, and then switch back into loki, he will not be invisible and cannot recast invisibily until the duration is over
Warframe noob here. Im on Pluto on the first Spy mission and even though i am invisible something keeps detecting me and triggering alarms. This is the first spy mission that this shit started to happen.
Is there some new enemy type i am not seeing? Or maybe some other type of detectors i am not noticing?
To me personally Loki's invisibility was his best ability but now if that has been rendered useless then the frame itself is dead to me.
Can someone pls Explain what has changed and what can be done to fix that if at all possible? Without the typical "Git Gud" response.
Laser barriers in spy missions can detect loki, even if he is invisible. Se here for more.
Someone better than me at editing add this note to the ability.
As of, at the latest, Update 21.1, Invisibility's mute seems much greater. It can be difficult to hear some cues, such as the hum of rare containers/caches while invisible. Keep this in mind.
Noticed this as well. At least i now know that when you get near radiation fields in sorties a geiger counter starts ticking in the background. Which was pretty much the only noice to be heard. 3spooky5me :D
Is it just me or is invisibility like super OP?
u cant hit what u cant see....
they'd introduce some kind of infrared googles enemies who can detect invisible enemies, or made some infested units to be able to smell an invisible enemie. something like that
T
There are explosives, aoe and status procs to worry about. Also nullifiers disable invis
Why not tell us where we can get it wiki?
What's the longest invisibility duration, considering every needed mods are maxed out?
33 secs
I Rank 5 Drop Invisibility ???
Where I can get this mod?
it's no mod, it's Loki's ability.
Invisibility does not work on Kubrows. Visual effect applies, but enemy NPCs are able to target and fire upon kubrow, even if it's stealthed.
do throwing kinives crit while invisible?
Nope, only melee (glaive throwing and Redeemer shooting are melee too). And this is technically not crits, just x3 multiplier, so it won't proc Berserk.
so i hope we get a third frame with invisibility variation soon
Isn't Ivara Female?
we demand more female frames
female frames suck. wish they were gone.
Sexist
For an Ifinite invis - disarm (need loki prime or forma)
Aura - Ennergy siphon
D slot - Overextended
D slot #2 - Narrow minded 5 /10
V slot - Primed continuity (as high as you can) minimum 7 / 10
Slash slot - Rush (personal prefercence you can put the streamline therre instead and add other mods)
No polarities slots : Constitution - Streamline - Fleeting expertise 3 / 5 - stretch
Hope you like it , infinite invis (with a return of ennergy) good range for disarm +/-50 meters
