2XKO Characters

Just like League of Legends, champions are the characters you pilot in 2XKO. They have a wide range of playstyles, difficulty to pilot, and more that make each of them unique. Here's your one-stop shop to learn about them.

Learn to Play a Champion

There are currently 12 champions in the 2XKO character roster. The latest champions to be added were Teemo and Warwick with a simultaneous release during the Early Access Launch, followed by Caitlyn after the console release on January 20th, 2026.

New characters will be added to 2XKO at least five times a year, corresponding with five seasons.

How to Unlock Champions in 2XKO

As of Early Access, six 2XKO champions start in your roster for free:

Ahri
Braum
Darius
Ekko
Illaoi
Yasuo

The remaining 6 must be unlocked:

Blitzcrank
Caitlyn
Jinx
Teemo
Vi
Warwick

To unlock a character, you have three methods:

10,000 Credits
1. Credits are earned by completing Missions and just playing Casual/Ranked matches
1 Champion Token
1. Included as part of Starter Editions (Standard = 4 Tokens, Deluxe/Ultra = 8 Tokens)
1,000 KO Points
1. 1,000 KO = $9.99

Note that when a new champion is released, you cannot use 10,000 Credits to purchase them during the first three weeks.

Character Playstyles Explained

Each 2XKO champion has a playstyle label as part of their in-game description that indicates their general strengths. While many champions are multi-faceted and might be bordering multiple categories, here's what you should know.

All-Rounder

Darius
Yasuo

All-rounders are versatile generalists who have a balanced kit without any glaring weaknesses, typically excelling at mid-range combat.

Bruiser

Braum
Illaoi

Bruisers are big-bodied characters with higher health pools and powerful hits in exchange for being slower and less mobile.

Grappler

Blitzcrank

Grapplers get up close and personal to land command grabs that can take significant portions of enemy health bars, often only needing to win a few interactions.

Mix Up

Ekko

Mix Up characters use trickery to keep opponents guessing, setting up situations that are difficult to defend against.

Rushdown

Ahri
Vi
Warwick

Rushdown characters excel in moving around the stage with burst options, creating pressure and finding angles to open up enemy defenses.

Trap

Teemo

Trap characters litter the battlefield with obstacles and setups that can really punish opponents who are impatient or unaware.

Zoner

Jinx
Caitlyn

Zoners are masters of long-ranged combat and prefer to stay at a safe distance until they find the right opening for a combo opportunity.
