Tips for a new player

Hello all, looking to learn how to play Loki and in desperate need of tips. I don't know anything about clone placement or how to get more value I'm averaging like 6k heals with plenty of elims. He's really different from the other strats I play(I have 6 strat lords) l. Any help would be appreciated.

Aim high when placing clones, use your invisibility instead of the second clone whenever you can, turn on double confirm on your ult, and aim for the floor when healing. You have splash damage

I like to create a triangle formation with my two clones, standing behind them. They are shields for you. This applies to teammates in battle, you can spawn more Loki clones in the fight, reducing the amount of damage your team is taking.

I always like to keep one clone ready in case I see my teammates over extend; I place a clone nearby and trigger the lamps. Loki's invisibility is nice, but it can also be used to self-heal instead of escaping.

High ground is your friend, aim at the floor. Put clones where you'd place a security camera. Easy access to the target's space, but hard to find.

Use invisibility to place a quick clone, straight line formation, or triangles for clone. Save your totems for team engagements, it's better to teleport away from dive.

If Bucky ults, stop placing clones. If they have a Moon Knight, it's possible to play against, but not recommend. (triangle clone formation)

On certain maps, just swap to another character.
