Which Character Should You Pick in 2XKO Closed Beta? Full Roster Breakdown & Moves List

2XKO’s Closed Beta has commenced, featuring a diverse roster of beloved Champions from League of Legends. From command grabbing to defensive excellence, the roster is filled with fantastic Archetypes that players can master. If you’re confused about which character to choose in 2XKO’s Closed Beta as a beginner, here’s a breakdown of the full roster and their special abilities.

1. Ahri

Ahri is a versatile character with a fox-like tail and ears. Her moveset is somewhat complicated to master as she works best when aerial, and her Foxfire abilities are perfect for extending combos or juggling opponents. Despite her challenging combos, Ahri’s air dashes and skills give her an upper hand against grounded enemies.

Being a mobile Champion, Ahri’s Specials and Supers are filled with Foxfire goodness, dashing in the air in any direction and attacking her opponents with her acrobatic moves.

2. Blitzcrank

Blitzcrank in 2XKO is a Champion who specialises in grabbing his opponents and dealing damage. He may not be a fitting pick for a beginner since he’s a grappler, but he’s immensely fun to play, thanks to his grappling hook and command-grabbing capabilities. While his huge size hurts his mobility, using him with a great assist can easily make him a formidable Champion.

Blitzcrank’s Specials and Supers make quick work of his mechanical abilities and rockt fists to pull the opponent, grab them, and demolish them in more ways than one.

3. Braum

Braum excels defensively in 2XKO, thanks to his shield, and his basic combos are straightforward enough to grasp as a beginner. Braum can freeze his opponents and deal destructive damage to opponents using his team of poros and his giant, trustworthy shield. The “Unbreakable” Passive forms an icy layer on his shield, which he can use to tank one attack and give it back.

His Specials have him protecting allies with his shield and using it to shatter his opponents, sometimes taking the help of his poros when using certain abilities. Braum’s Supers deal icy damage to opponents and activate the Unbreakable Passive for added protection.

4. Darius

Darius is incredibly beginner-friendly, and if you’re debating on who to pick when starting 2XKO’s Closed Beta, look no further. You can charge his heavies, and the combos with his axe are insanely easy to perform while being supremely satisfying. Darius can inflict the “Wounded” status effect with his blows, which allows him to deal even more damage when the opponent is blocking.

His Specials are also incredibly versatile, along with his Supers, dealing destructive damage with his axe to whoever’s in front of him. A Noxian Champion with a tremendous axe, Darius should be your go-to as a beginner in 2XKO.

5. Ekko

Ekko in 2XKO can be a challenging character to master due to his time-based movement. Living up to his reputation as “The Boy Who Shattered Time,” Ekko can use his Z-Drive to rewind time and create Afterimages of himself. Some of his abilities allow him to rewind to the Afterimage that he left to deliver another hit, so his mechanics are quite complex to master as a beginner.

His Specials and Supers all consist of him rewinding time to his Afterimage’s position to deliver multiple blows and extend combos in 2XKO.

6. Illaoi

Illaoi in 2XKO is another character that will take time to master. As the Truth-Bearer of Nagakabouros, she carries a Totem and hits slow but hard, and her abilities allow her to create setups that can help her perform multiple combos by mixing both of them up. She dominates matches as an elite heavy hitter, charging up her attacks and using her spectral tentacles to create set plays.

Her Specials offer help from her Kraken friends. Her Supers are more damaging, repeatedly smashing the ground and turning the previously-summoned spectral tentacles into giant ones to deliver devastating damage.

7. Jinx

Jinx’s gameplay 2XKO is explosively dynamic, using her arsenal of weaponry to fill the role of a zoner and keeping her distance from the opponents. Her Specials have her bringing her Gatling Gun and her Monkey Bombs to create plays that keep her far away. She’s a great Champion to frustrate your opponents with, using Traps and her trusty Hammer to open a window for your teammate to deliver hits.

Her Specials also include Fishbones and beam projectiles that deal massive damage. She is quite easy to master, especially since she’s a zoner, and players starting their journey in 2XKO will get the hang of her quickly if they practice enough.

8. Vi

Vi brings her Hextech Gauntlets and impeccable footwork to create clobbering and agile plays in 2XKO. She’s quick, hits hard, and has some of the best movement in the game. Her Specials offer protection with a Hextech Shield and deliver a barrage of punches the more you mash. One of her Specials also features a Ground Pound that creates a crater and produces massive Hextech energy.

Her Supers amplifies the Crater Maker Specials and also deals an invincible rush punch that emits a huge Hextech energy blast. Another League of Legends icon who’s comparatively easier to master, following in her sister’s footsteps in 2XKO.

9. Yasuo

Yasuo is one of the most complicated characters in 2XKO due to his Stances. He can switch his Sword Stances, and each Stance has a different moveset that you can mix up to keep your combos going. Being an Ionian beast at mid-range, Yasuo’s Specials involve multiple Stances that play out differently, making him a hard character to master.

While Yasuo’s movement speed is terrible, his dashes make up for it. His Ultimates allow him to swiftly attack his enemies and create tornadoes that open up windows for potential follow-ups.
