2XKO is one of the most unique fighting games out there, based on characters from the League of Legends universe. Since the champion roster is still fairly small and decently balanced, there isn't much of a gap felt in most regular matches. However, when in the hands of good players, differences in strength between champs become noticeable, and the higher the skill level, the more it'll matter which ones you're using. To help you be as competitive as possible, we created this 2XKO champions tier list, ranking all characters from best to worst based on their overall strength. Scroll down and let's dive into the rankings.
2XKO Character Tier List
In the tier list above, we ranked all champions in 2XKO based on both how easy they are to play and how good they are overall. Generally, the easier a champ is and the less room for error it has, the more consistently you'll perform with it. However, a champion with a higher skill ceiling will often perform better when its kit is utilized fully. It all depends on your previous experience in fighting games and how well you can adapt to everything 2XKO offers. For more details on the ranking reasons for each champion, check out the section below.

2XKO Champions Tier List FAQ
There is no definitive list of the best characters in 2XKO. It all depends on how well you can utilize a champion's kit. Still, if we had to pick only three, it would be Yasuo, Ekko, and Blitzcrank.
Can you be competitive with any champion/champion combo?
Yes, you can be competitive with absolutely any champion/champion combo. However, you'll need a deep understanding of both your and your opponent's champion kits. By playing easy champions, you'll make that task a lot less difficult.
Should you just play whichever character you like the most?
Playing whichever characters sit the best with you is probably the best thing you can do in a fighting game such as 2XKO. If your main character's kit isn't satisfying for you to use, you won't have the motivation to put in the hours and practice it.
