With 2XKO now playable through the fighting game’s early alpha playtests, players have been especially eager to know more about all the playable champions that will be making the transition from League of Legends into 2XKO.

Since the confirmation of the League fighting game’s existence at Riot Games’ huge 10th-anniversary event, the developers have already revealed plenty of details about the fighter. For example, the game will be free-to-play and will be an assist-based title with two champions per team. On top of that, there’s going to be a huge character roster.

“Our ultimate goal is to have a diverse and inclusive roster where everyone can find a champion that truly speaks to them,” 2XKO gameplay design lead Shaun Rivera said. “There are a ton of considerations such as, but not limited to, fight fantasy, theme, archetype, team synergy, race and ethnicity, personality, identity, size, etc.”

This translates into what should be an ever-evolving 2XKO roster. The whole cast of playable fighters who’ll appear in the full game hasn’t been locked in yet, but we still know plenty of the current and future characters.

There are currently six League champions available to play in 2XKO, though the expectation is this number should balloon out quite quickly. Most revolve around some kind of close-combat fighting through weapons or magic.

Here’s all the playable 2XKO characters right now:

  • Ahri
  • Braum
  • Darius
  • Ekko
  • Yasuo
  • Illaoi

Ahri

Runeterra’s resident fox lady, Ahri, has made her way from Summoner’s Rift and is ready to jump into the hearts of fighting game enthusiasts around the world. Featured in a few of Riot’s teasers around 2XKO, the quick-footed kitsune uses a combination of kicks, punches, and dashes to directly attack her enemies, while using her Orb of Deception to keep opponents at bay.

Braum

He’s already a big guy in League, but Braum stands as the largest playable character in 2XKO right now. The beloved Heart of the Freljord carries his iconic indestructible door into battle in the Riot fighter, with a lot of his gameplay designed around assist attacks. Braum is the only character included at the moment that can freeze other players.

Darius

One of the first League champions revealed as a playable character in 2XKO, Darius brings his trusty ax to every battle to cut down anyone who stands in his way. From gameplay revealed by Riot, Darius brings plenty of his kit from League into 2XKO, whether he’s pulling in enemies for an easy combo, slicing through them with a quick ax swing, or slamming them into the ground with a Noxian Guillotine.

Ekko

Ekko has made his way to 2XKO’s roster, boasting his signature gritty style of fighting as seen both on Summoner’s Rift and in Arcane. He uses his baton to zip around and set up devastating combos. He also uses his temporal grenade as a projectile that he can whack into his enemies as a unique ranged attack, and can even travel back in time like how his ultimate ability works in League.

Illaoi

Illaoi is also making her way to 2XKO. The Truth Bearer of Nagakabouros falls into the juggernaut class, according to Riot. The devs wanted to hone in on giving her a “huge hurtbox, massive hits, and slower movement.” Her main source of power comes from her physical size and strength as she swings her giant golden totem as a melee weapon. Illaoi will, however, still summon tentacles as a secondary weapon to help support her endeavors.

Yasuo

Know that the wind will always be by your side with Yasuo joining 2XKO‘s cast of deadly playable characters. The Unforgiven is a master swordsman who has tools for virtually any type of situation, from nasty aerial combinations and fancy mix-up outplays to powerful normal attacks. He also has his trusty wind wall to block incoming projectile attacks and is a fast-moving choice for those who like to zip in and out of the action.

Future 2XKO characters

There are also several League characters that have popped up in the 2XKO promo run who aren’t playable in the alpha playtest just yet: Katarina and Jinx. These characters are expected to join the roster sometime in the future.

Jinx

Jinx has gotten a pretty good amount of attention over the past few years, hasn’t she? The Loose Cannon of Zaun has gone from League to the big screen in Netflix’s hit animated series Arcane to now joining the first foray of characters in 2XKO. In the teasers shown, Jinx uses all of the weapons at her disposal, from her electric Zapper gun, her minigun named Pow-Pow, and her rocket launcher Fishbones. Although she has plenty of range, she also seems to have an extensive melee skill set as she whacks people around.

Katarina

Fast and deadly, Katarina seems to use quick movement abilities to dash around and overwhelm her opponents, while slashing away at their health bar with her twin daggers. In comparison to her League counterpart, however, it looks like she won’t be using Shunpo to teleport to any thrown daggers and will instead remain an agile character who stays in melee form.
