The game came out with 9 playable champions at the time of the Closed beta release, but the 10th one has already been leaked. Here are all 2XKO characters, and their general role.
2XKO Release Characters
At the time of the closed beta release, 9 champions are available as playable characters. They fulfill a variety of roles, even though 2XKO doesn't have specific fighting types as seen in games like Street Fighter. Here are all champions in alphabetical order.
Ahri, The Nine-Tailed Fox

The Nine-Tailed Fox is able to dash in the air with ease, has an arsenal of both ranged and melee tools, and has access to her League of Legends ultimate ability, Spirit Rush, as an extra dash.
Blitz, The Great Steam Golem

While Blitzcrank is a support in LoL, do not underestimate is power in 2XKO. He is a grappler, a champion which excels at mixing their combos with unexpected throws that deal massive damage. He uses his signature rocket grab as a way to keep enemies in close range
Braum, The Heart Of The Freljord

Another LoL support, Braum actually flexes his impressive muscles in 2XKO with a lot of damage and multiple ways to freeze his opponents. Despite excelling at close range, he can throw poros to remain relevant in mid to long distances.
Darius, The Hand Of Noxus

Remaining just as threatening as he's ever been in LoL, Darius uses his giant axe to decimate enemies with long combos that reach farther than you will initially expect. He also retains his classic bleed passive as a chip damage mechanic, slowly ticking your health down even through blocks.
Ekko, The Boy Who Shattered Time

One of the most mobile characters in the 2XKO roster, Ekko uses his manipulation of time and his projectiles to keep opponents on their toes with creative mix-ups and impressively long combos.
Illaoi, The Kraken Priestess
Image Via Riot Games. Screenshot Captured By Blast.The Truth-Bearer of Nagakabouros, Illaoi wields a massive totem to test the will of her enemies and summon spectral tentacles to fight by her side. She's a high-damage lockdown bruiser who overwhelms enemies with pressure as immense as her faith.
Staying true to her infamous style of bullying in LoL, Illaoi brings the same energy to 2XKO with her pesky spectral tentacles. She deals a ton of damage and will keep you holding back as you attempt to block her barrage of suffocating strikes.
Jinx, The Loose Cannon
Image Via Riot Games. Screenshot Captured By Blast.With an arsenal of custom guns, traps, and explosives, Jinx unleashes mayhem wherever she goes. She excels at zoning enemies, overwhelming them with colorful destruction from afar.
The only 2XKO release character who is an ADC in LoL, Jinx is the game's only zoner (so far). This means that she excels at keeping enemies away from her, utilizing her entire arsenal of weapons to frustrate her opponents as they attempt to close the gap.
Vi, The Piltover Enforcer
Image Via Riot Games. Screenshot Captured By Blast.Vi is an impulsive power-puncher who lives to throw hands. Armed with hextech gauntlets and slick boxing footwork, she excels at closing the distance and clobbering foes with haymakers.
Vi was always going to be one of 2XKO base characters. She is a brawler with massive punching gloves, after all. She uses her fancy boxer feet to close the gap with a powerful dash which can avoid most attacks in the game, allowing her to punch the air out of her opponents' lungs.
Yasuo, The Unforgiven
Image Via Riot Games. Screenshot Captured By Blast.An Ionian of deep resolve, Yasuo is an agile swordsman who wields the air itself against his enemies. He excels at mid-range, using the power of the wind to dash through opponents and block projectiles.
Considered by most the hardest base character in 2XKO, Yasuo players are likely to become as infamous as they are in LoL. The swordsman uses his signature windwall to negate projectiles and his fancy mobility to annihilate enemies from mid range.
Leaked Champion
Image Via Riot Games. The tenth 2XKO character was leaked via a SkinSpotlights tweet about the upcoming battlepass. And, as you can see, it is none other than Teemo, the devil incarnate. Jokes aside, a lot of people predicted Teemo would be present in 2XKO as the first Yordle.
Hitboxes in fighting games are extremely important when it comes to balancing, and having a character that is so much smaller than the rest of the roster will bring a lot of different considerations into the fray.
Not much is known about Teemo for now, but we'll update this article as soon as we know more.
