All 2XKO Characters (& How to Unlock Them)

2XKO is a tag fighting game by Riot Games. Since it’s a 2v2 fighter, each match has you picking two champions to switch between, pulling off combos, and defending against your opponent in fast-paced combat. To secure the win, you need to take down both enemy champions in two out of three rounds, which makes having a strong lineup on your side essential.

There’s already a decent roster of cool League of Legends champions available to choose from. This guide covers all the characters currently in 2XKO and explains how to unlock them, whether playing solo or teaming up as a duo.

How to Unlock Characters in 2XKO

There are about 11 champions in the early access of 2XKO, and more are expected to join later. Each hero comes with a big moveset that includes specials, supers (ultimates), unique moves, and assists. You can check out all their moves in their Champion Profile. They also have cool skins, taunts, and finishers to make things more fun.

To unlock a character in 2XKO, you’ll need one of the following:

For free-to-play players, the best way to get champions is by saving Green Credits. You can earn them through daily and weekly missions or casual matches. Winning one casual match gives you 20 Green Credits, so steady playtime can get you new champions without spending money. Of course, that does mean a lot of grinding.

All 2XKO Characters

Ahri – The Nine-Tailed Fox

Ahri is the free character you unlock after finishing the tutorial in 2XKO. She’s a fox in a human-like form, and her specials match that theme with moves like Foxfire Blast, Wild Flares, and Spirit Rush.

Like a clever fox, she uses the Orb of Deception as her ultimate attack, with Hyper Spirit Rush and Charm as her other two supers. Her combo attacks land real heavy, and her Hyper Spirit Rush Assist deals some of the highest damage in her kit. Her Archetype is Rushdown, making her perfect for fast, aggressive play.

Blitzcrank – The Great Steam Golem

Blitzcrank is a locked champion. He’s a metal golem who was originally built to clean up trash, but as a fighter, he puts those mechanical powers to good use. His moves include Rocket Grab, Rocket Punch, and Spinning Turbine, making him a reliable pick for close-range brawls.

His supers are OP as well; Static Field lets him leap into the air and unleash a huge electric blast, while Trash Compactor slams enemies from above. His assist moves are great, with Static Field Assist easily being the strongest in our experience. Plus, his archetype is Grappler.

Braum – The Heart of the Fareljord

Braum is a free fighter who looks like he’s inspired by Viking culture. If you’ve played League of Legends, you already know he’s from the cold Freljord region and likes protecting others.

His playstyle is mostly defensive with moves like Winter’s Bite, Battering Ram, and Stand Behind Me. But he can hit hard too, with Iceborn Smash, Shattering Spires, and The Great Swing. His ultimates are exceptional, with Snax Time doing big damage. He’s also great at combos, blocking attacks for your main character, and striking back with Glacial Fissure Assist. His archetype is Bruiser.

Darius – The Hand of Noxus

A free League of Legends character who’s good for mid-range combat. He fights with a fantastic sword and uses moves like Apprehend, Coward’s Bane, and Salted Earth to keep enemies under pressure.

His supers are really strong, including Noxian Revolution, Noxian Might, and Noxian Guillotine. His assists are on the lighter side, but Noxian Might Assist is the best one of the bunch. His archetype is All-Rounder, making him solid at both offense and defense.

Ekko – The Boy Who Shattered Time

Ekko is a free-to-play champion and a total science whiz. He uses his own gadgets and brains in battle with specials like Timewinder, Phase Dive, and Chronostrike.

His ultimate moves are where things get wild; Attempt lets him bend time to dodge hits and strike back, while Tangled Timeline creates illusory afterimages to throw enemies off and land heavy blows. As a secondary fighter, he can dash in and launch projectiles, but he really shines as a main character. His archetype is Mix-Up.

Illaoi – The Kraken Priestess

Illaoi is another free fighter you get to play after the tutorial. She’s an ancient powerhouse who calls on kraken tentacles to smash enemies and swings a big totem to strike up close. For close-range fights, moves like Faith in Motion, Guiding Hand, and Serpent’s Tongue work best, while Prayer in Stagnation and From the Depths hit strong from a distance.

Her supers are insane, with Test of Spirit dealing massive damage. She’s also a solid pick as a side fighter, with Wrath of Nagakabouros Assist cracking down hard. Like Braum, her archetype is Bruiser.

Jinx – The Loose Cannon

Jinx is a locked fighter who loves using guns, explosives, and traps in 2v2 battles. Her specials are flashy and blooming with techniques like Pow Pow Up-Up!, Fishbones, and Zap. Her real firepower shows in her supers, like Zaaaapp! and Super Mega Death Rocket Monkey Cannon!

In combos, she does really well from a distance, firing shots and tossing bombs while staying out of reach. Her archetype is Zoner since she’s great at keeping enemies away.

Teemo – The Swift Scout

Teemo is the third character in 2XKO that’s locked behind a paywall. He’s a critter and one of the only two non-human fighters in the game. As a sneaky scout and deceptive ranged fighter, his specials include moves like Guerrilla Tactics and Noxious Trap.

His ultimates also involve shooting darts and dropping mushroom bombs when opponents least expect it. He’s a good option as a tag team partner, thanks to his Noxious Sweeper Assist. His archetype is Trap.

VI – The Piltover Enforcer

Vi is a locked champion whose whole thing is punching enemies from all kinds of angles. Her regular moves pack a punch as well, like Vault Breaker and Denting Blows. Aside from physical attacks, she can punch the ground too, sending out Hextech energy that targets foes, like in her Hyper Crater Maker ult.

In Cease and Desist ult, she throws a complete beatdown. That said, as a side fighter, she’s a recommended choice due to being a Rushdown archetype and also a heavy damage dealer.

Warwick – The Uncaged Wrath of Zaun

Warwick is the last lockable champion in the early access of Riot Games’ 2XKO and the second animal fighter after Teemo. He’s a fierce wolf who charges at foes with his teeth and claws, using rushdown moves like Bloodlust, Feral Bite, and Feral Beast.

His supers, like Infinite Duress and Blood Hunt, turn him into a real hunter. He’s also excellent at tag fights. Like Ahri and Vi, his archetype is Rushdown.

Yasuo – The Unforgiven

Yasuo is a free hero that you can pick for fights at any time. He’s an Ionian who can control wind and dash at enemies. He can also block projectiles, making him a great defender against characters like Vi, Teemo, and Jinx.

His normal attacks are decent, but his ults are really useful in mid-range combat. As a side fighter, he can protect your main character by creating a wind wall and even take the lead with his Storm Breaker assist. His archetype is All-Rounder, the second after Darius.
