Best Characters in 2XKO
Yasuo
Yasuo is a strong character when played well. His on-point presence offers good mixup potential, solid neutral game options, and zoning capabilities. His gameplay provides access to varied combo routes and mixup options that can be difficult to predict. His main weakness lies in his support value, as his assists don't provide as much utility for teammates compared to other characters.
Ekko
Ekko brings solid versatility and team synergy to most compositions. His Rewind mechanic enables unique combo routes and mixup situations. His assist options complement most team compositions effectively. Ekko fits well with every fuse type and serves as a good teammate for many characters.
Vi
Vi dominates with her boxing-style combat and hextech gauntlets. She features high ground mobility with unique ducking and sway mechanics for avoiding attacks. Her chargeable attacks and OTG assist provide strong combo potential with high vertical coverage. Vi excels at closing distance and delivering powerful attacks. She struggles with a shorter normal attack range and slightly below-average damage output.
Darius
Darius brings heavy-hitting attacks with his axe and a wound mechanic that applies chip damage on blocked attacks. His long reach and oppressive space control make him effective at mid-range combat. The wound debuff benefits both him and his assist partner while increasing special move damage. He's beginner-friendly with good defensive options including anti-air pulls and armored specials. His weaknesses include below-average mobility, slow attack startup, and predictable offense without assist support.
A Tier
Jinx
Jinx specializes in zoning. She offers great corner carry, strong projectile assists, and effective setplay options. Her high damage output makes her dangerous at range with good keep-away tools. However, she suffers from slow dash speed, unconventional pressure patterns, and limited mixup options. Many characters have anti-zoning tools that can create difficult matchups for her.
Illaoi
Illaoi controls space with ease. Her tentacle mechanic creates additional hits for combos and pressure situations. She excels at high-damage lockdown with overwhelming pressure once established. The main challenges include needing setup time for tentacles and having an extremely difficult super execution in Double Down configurations.
Blitzcrank
Blitzcrank functions as a classic grappler with his steam mechanic that enhances special moves. His rocket fists pull opponents close for potent grabs and energy bursts. Weaknesses include slow movement speed, charge-up requirements, and primarily short-range attacks.
