loki
When compared to the two other starting warframes, loki is often left out. The other two warframes (Excalibur and Volt) are described as being perfect for beginning and more agressive players respectively. Loki even has his own description against it, "desired by advanced players" is not something that most beginners look forward to.

Despite all this it has something for everyone, be it a beginner or seasoned veteran. It's powers give it great flexibility and the lack of offensive powers are easily compensated by chosing the right weapons for the job.

- How to unlock -
Although you can get the Loki blueprint from the market, as of now not a single boss drops the secondary blueprints you need to complete the individual parts, this is probably due to this game being in it's beta stage.
So sadly for the people who want to try it out, it's only availible to starting players.

Loki powers
- DECOY -
- unlocked: at least 1 point needed
- EN cost: 25 points
- Power: summons a hologram that will dissapear when too much damage is taken
- Advantages:
This power will save your life in occasions were you find yourself outnumbered our outgunned. At the mere cost of 25 points this is a very cost effective power and extremely usefull at the first stages of the game.
Keeps it's usefullness at later stages as it can distract bosses too.
- Disadvantages:
Seems to work best with infestation, others aren't as easily fooled it seems.
Enemies won't recieve any damage from the bullets it fires.

Loki powers
- INVISIBILITY -
- Unlocked: at least 2 points needed (with orokin generator)
- En cost: 50 points
- Power: Makes you completely invisible to your enemies, also makes you able to walk past laser doors with ease. Sound and vision is deformed.
- Advantages:
This is a power that retains it's effectiveness troughout the whole game. It is just an allround and very flexible power.
Attacking or using your weapon does not make you decloack
You are basicly invulnerable to convential weapons, giving you the ability to revive teammates with ease.
- Disadvantages:
50 energy points is a lot when you are just starting out.
You do not have the ability to cancel the power early to save on EN consumption.
You are still vulnerable to explosions and shockwaves.

Loki powers
- SWITCH TELEPORT -
- Unlocked: at least 5 points needed.
- EN cost: 75 points.
- Power: Teleports you with an enemy, decoy or friend when said object is in your crosshairs, only the enemy will be disorientated.
- Advantages:
It is great for getting ahead quickly and teleporting into Close quarters instantly, great when used with close range weapons like shtotguns or melee weapons.
It's perfect to resolve bugs like stuck NPC's or friends. It should also be able to teleport trough closed doors.
- Disadvantages:
Only affects one target.
Bosses will not be disorientated.
Disorientation is not the main asset of this power and hasn't got a big effect on the target.
With 75 points you can spawn a total of 3 decoys which will do a much better job at distracting the enemies.

Loki powers
- RADICAL DISARM -
- Unlocked: at least 5 points needed (! orokin generator required !)
- EN cost: 100 points.
- Power: a shockwave is emitted that will send the enemies' weapons flying.
- Advantages:
Excellent for disarming a large group of enemies, rendering them useless and easy to beat.
Great when used with switch teleport.
- Disadvantages:
Only works on enemies who actually carry a gun, so robots or infested are unaffected and so are all bosses.
Watch out for Grineer as especially their higher tier units still pack a punch.

- UPDATE - 30/01/2013: "New stomping grounds."

Loki's tech tree changed a lot, sadly i am not able to see what my orokin generator added and what not:
New loki techtree
As you can see a lot has been added!

Looks like it's worth a try, but how the heck can you change your Warframe?

Added another part, about how to acquire it.
Sadly for those who want to try it out, you probably won't be able to during the beta stage of this game.
