Honestly, if you’ve spent any time in the Marvel Rivals queues lately, you’ve probably seen a lot of green suits. Specifically, the "Presidential Attire" skin for Loki. It’s not just a cosmetic thing anymore; it’s basically become the unofficial uniform for people who want to tilt the enemy team before the match even starts.
Loki has always been one of the weirdest, most high-skill characters in the game, but the President Loki skin—which first popped up in the beta and officially hit the shop in March 2025—has given the character a second life. People aren't just buying it because of the Loki Disney+ show or the Vote Loki comics. They’re buying it because there is something uniquely satisfying about outplaying a top-tier DPS while wearing a "Believe" button and a smug, politician's grin.
Why the President Loki Skin is Everywhere
The skin itself is a direct nod to the 2016 Vote Loki comic run by Christopher Hastings. In that series, Loki runs for President of the United States on a platform of—get this—lying directly to the voters' faces. He basically says, "Sure, I'll lie, but at least I'm honest about it."
In Marvel Rivals, this vibe fits the gameplay perfectly. Loki is a Strategist, but he doesn't play like your typical backline healer. He is a deceptive, slippery nightmare. The President Loki bundle usually goes for about 1600 Lattices, and it’s not just the outfit. You get the MVP animation, the nameplate, and the "Vote Loki" spray.
What You Get in the Bundle
- The Presidential Attire: A sharp green suit, the iconic broken horn crown, and the campaign buttons.
- Custom MVP Animation: Nothing says "I carried" like Loki smugly adjusting his tie while the defeat screen looms for the other team.
- Emotes and Sprays: Basically just more ways to taunt people after you've successfully tricked them into wasting an ultimate on a clone.
The skin's popularity has spiked again recently in early 2026 because of the current meta. With characters like Gambit and Psylocke dominating the high ranks, Loki has become a "must-learn" counter-pick. And if you’re going to be a thorn in the side of a Master-rank player, you might as well look like you're running for office while doing it.

If you bought the skin and realized you actually have no idea how to play the character, don't worry. You aren't alone. I’ve seen plenty of President Lokis standing in the middle of the point like a deer in headlights.
Loki’s kit revolves around his Doppelgangers. You can have two out at once. Most beginners just throw them out randomly, but that’s a waste. The real trick is using them to create "heal zones" and "damage crossfires."
Your primary fire, the Mystical Missile, is kind of weird. It doesn't do damage on direct impact. Instead, it creates a small explosion that heals allies for 40 and hits enemies for 30. Because it has splash damage, you should almost always aim at people's feet. If you hit the ground between an ally and an enemy, you’re doing both jobs at once.
The "Immortality" Trick
The most broken part of Loki’s kit is the Regeneration Domain. When you pop this, Loki and all his clones create a field that converts 30% of incoming damage into healing.

It’s not technically "immortality," but it feels like it. If a Scarlet Witch or an Iron Man uses their ultimate on your team, dropping a clone and hitting the Domain button can completely negate the wipe. In the 2026 meta, this is the only thing keeping teams alive against the "Gambit Engine" comps that are everywhere right now.
The Ultimate Flex: God of Mischief
Loki’s ultimate is probably the most complex move in the game. You transform into an enemy (or ally) for 15 seconds. The best part? You get their ultimate instantly.
A lot of players get "ultimate anxiety" and wait for the perfect moment. Don't. If you see an enemy Luna Snow or Jeff the Land Shark, take them. Use their massive team heals to stabilize your squad. If you’re feeling aggressive, turn into a Punisher or a Hela and just melt the backline.
Pro Tip: If you turn into someone and use their ultimate right before your 15-second timer runs out, it actually extends your transformation. Use this to squeeze every bit of value out of a stolen kit.

Current State of the Meta (January 2026)
Right now, Loki is sitting comfortably in the A-tier or high B-tier depending on who you ask. He isn't as "braindead easy" as Rocket Raccoon, but he has a much higher ceiling.
The biggest threat to a President Loki player right now is Winter Soldier. Bucky can reset his ultimate by killing your clones. If you’re playing against a good Winter Soldier, you have to be incredibly careful with your Doppelganger placement. If you feed him clone kills, he will stay in his ultimate for the entire team fight, and your team will definitely blame the guy in the green suit.
Actionable Steps for New Loki Mains
If you’re ready to start your campaign with President Loki, here is how you actually win games:
- Stop jumping: Seriously. If you’re trying to trick people into thinking you’re a clone, stop moving like a crack-addicted bunny. Clones stand still or move in straight lines. Sometimes, just standing still while shooting is the best invisibility in the game.
- Bind "Devious Exchange" to a comfortable key: This is your teleport. You need to be able to swap with your clones instantly. If a Black Panther dives you, you should be gone before he finishes his first slash.
- High Ground is King: Place your clones on ledges. It makes the splash damage from your missiles much easier to land, and it gives you an vertical escape route that most melee characters can’t follow.
- The "Hela" Synergy: If you have a Hela on your team, stay near her. Her passive lets her revive you if she gets a kill while you're down. It’s one of the strongest "Team-Up" abilities in Marvel Rivals, and it makes you way harder to keep out of the fight.
Basically, playing President Loki is about being the most annoying person on the battlefield. You want the enemy to be so frustrated by your clones and your "immortality" runes that they make mistakes. It’s a psychological game. Luckily, the suit comes with the attitude built-in.
