Tips that save runs
- Ability Duration mods: they lengthen the invulnerability.
- Squadmates in trouble: a swap gives them 6 seconds and clears their status effects.
- Hushed Invisibility: Loki's other augment, for a stealth and survival kit.
- Loki only gets invulnerability when he swaps with an enemy. Swapping with an ally clears his status effects but does not shield him.
- The invulnerability can be refreshed while it is active.
Mistakes that waste runs
- Swapping with an ally to save yourself; you only get the cleanse.
- Assuming the shield lasts longer than 3 or 6 seconds without duration mods.
