Why this build?
Starter for Star Chart, Spy, Rescue, first Loki, anyone who picked the trickster to not get shot
Health: Inventory unknown — Mark what you own. Until then this is a recommendation, not a test you failed.
- Loki is the invisibility tutorial that stays good. Duration mods are life mods.
- You are not a tank. If 2 is down, you are a Mag with worse shields.
- Crepuscular turns the cloak into a damage buff. Slot it as soon as Duviri pays out.
Don’t use this for: Steel Path endurance · level-cap content · open combat endurance · open-world / Eidolons
0 Forma, basic mods, no Helminth or shards required
You don’t need the shards to run the loop. They are a later ceiling, not a gate.
Bring: Silent weapon — A silenced pistol or a bow. Invisibility does not mute gunfire — Hushed Invisibility later, or put Hush on the gun now.

Cloak loop
Pocket card. Stick this on a second screen; the long version is the mission below.
- 1Invisibility (2) before the first camera. Recast in a corner with time left on the bar.
- 2Decoy (1) down a side hall if something is staring at a Rescue target. It scales health off nearby enemies.
- 3Switch Teleport (3) is a panic swap with the Decoy or a distant enemy. Starter can ignore it.
- 4Radial Disarm (4) waits until Range is real. One button to drop every gun in the tile — next configs.
First mission — press these buttons

Press 2 in the first hallway
2You vanish. Walk past the camera. Recast in cover with time left.
You will know it worked when: Your body goes see-through. Enemies keep walking.

Common mistakes
Standing still after 2 fades
You are visible and squishy. Recast in a corner, not in a firing line.
When this feels easy
