A-tier debuff applicator with high-damage ceiling. Loki applies 1 Demonize to a random enemy each activation at Counter 3. Demonize is a multiplicative damage amplifier — each Demonize stack increases incoming damage to that enemy, which compounds with every attacker hitting that target. His 3 Attack on Counter 3 is already competitive, and every Demonize stack he applies makes his own hits harder too.

The limiting factor is Aimless: Loki cannot choose which enemy he Demonizes. Against single-target encounters (bosses), this doesn't matter — the Demonize always lands on the boss. In multi-enemy fights, Demonize spreads and the amplification is diluted. He's strongest in the late game where boss encounters dominate.

Loki is a mid-to-back-row companion in multi-enemy fights and a front-row contributor in boss fights. In boss encounters, Aimless is irrelevant — every activation stacks Demonize on the boss, and your entire team benefits from the amplification. After 4 activations, Loki has applied Demonize 4 to the boss; a companion dealing 8 Attack now hits for 12+.

In wave fights, Loki's Demonize spreads across enemies. This reduces single-target amplification but still increases total damage output. Pair him with Aimless attackers or zone attackers so the spread Demonize is fully utilized.

Frenzy multiplies Loki's Demonize output. With x2 Frenzy, each Counter 3 activation applies Demonize twice instead of once, stacking debuffs at double speed. Combined with high-Attack allies, the amplification difference is dramatic.

Loki in boss runs: let the Demonize stack before committing big attacks. Wait 2–3 Loki activations before using major damage items or high-Attack companion activations. The Demonize multiplier applies to every hit, so a 20-Attack ally hitting a Demonize-3 target deals significantly more than hitting a fresh target.

Frenzy charm on Loki doubles Demonize application speed. x2 Frenzy = 2 Demonize per activation = Demonize 8 on a boss before Act 2 ends, at which point all allied attacks are hitting at dramatically increased values.

• High-Attack companions — the larger the base damage, the greater the absolute benefit from Demonize amplification
• Frenzy charms on Loki — doubles Demonize application speed; Demonize 8 on a boss by midgame is achievable
• Frenzy attackers — multi-hit attacks benefit from Demonize on every individual hit, compounding the multiplier
• Aimless zone attackers — if your team already spreads damage to all enemies, the distributed Demonize is fully utilized
• Boss-heavy playstyle — late-game runs where boss fights dominate remove Aimless's randomness entirely
