Finally. 2XKO, the free 2v2 fighting game featuring League of Legends champions, launches today on Xbox Series X|S.

If you’ve been dying to get your hands on the game, you probably want to jump in right away. At the same time, booting it up for the very first time can be a little overwhelming. From champions, to Fuses, to teamplay mechanics, there’s a lot of information to absorb – especially for anyone new to tag fighters, or fighting games in general.

Here are some quick tips to help you get in-game and start having fun right away.

Grab a Duo Partner

2XKO is a 2v2 game, which means you can team up and fight as a duo. Whether you’re testing combos in Training mode or climbing the Ranked ladder together, the highs and lows of fighting games are better with friends.

Use your champ’s Assist moves by pressing A or back + A when they’re offscreen. Each champion has unique Assists, but here’s how to use a few:

When Braum uses Stand Behind Me Assist (back + A), he leaps to shield his ally from an attack. If you’re under pressure from the enemy team, this Assist can help you get some space back.
When Blitzcrank uses Rocket Grab Assist (A), they’ll extend their robotic arm to pull an enemy champion towards your team. Use this Assist to bring in opponents and follow up with your big hits.
When Vi uses Crater Maker Assist (back + A), she punches the ground and creates a hextech aftershock. It can hit opponents out of the air, so try this move if they’re jumping in.

When you’re playing with a friend, they can swap to you by hitting A right after your champion Assists. Coordinate to attack together, defend each other, and pull off tricky combos.

Find Your Main

Each character in 2XKO has a unique playstyle. For your first games, just pick the ones that look the coolest to you – you can always choose someone new in the next game.

Caitlyn, the Sheriff of Piltover, is our newest addition to the roster. Use her traps and deadly aim to stay ten steps ahead of the enemy duo.

Don’t forget that you’ll have two champions on your team, and they can play off of each other. If you’re looking for team-building suggestions, here are a few:

Caitlyn and Vi
- Caitlyn uses her hextech-powered rifle to line up headshots, while Vi loves to brawl up-close. With their combined strengths, you’ll take down opponents at any range.
Darius and Ekko
- Darius deals massive damage with his battle axe and makes opponents Bleed, but he’s on the slower side. Ekko can keep enemies guessing with fast movement and a teleport. Use Ekko to jump in (or out), and land big hits with Darius.
Ahri and Braum
- Ahri is a quick spellcaster who excels in the air, while Braum is a supportive champion that can defend allies with a shield. Use Ahri’s magical foxfire to blast opponents, and if you find yourself under pressure, bring in Braum’s shield to retreat or position for your next move.

Try Pulse Combo

A combo is when you put together unique moves to damage an opponent. This can feel complicated when you’re still learning what your champion can do, but Pulse Combo is here to help.

In champion select, press RT to enable Pulse Combo. Once it’s on, you can press the same attack button repeatedly to automatically do a combo (if you land the first hit).

There are unique autocombos for the X, Y, and B buttons. Try each one to get an idea of the moves your champion can combine.

Play Tutorials

If you’re looking to improve your game, there are tons of tutorials to choose from in the Learning Hub. Here are the different types available:

Bot Beatdown: Win battles against bots to unlock chromas that change the color palette of four champions.
Tutorial: A series of fights to teach the basics of 2XKO, including movement, attacking, blocking. Completing this unlocks a set of cosmetics for your avatar.
Combo Trials: Learn combos for each champion, from beginner to expert-level difficulties.
Advanced Lessons: Level up with more advanced techniques for offense, defense, teamwork, and movement.

You can also find Training mode in the Learning Hub, where you can play against bots at your own pace.

Experiment with Fuses

Fuses are playstyle modifiers that change how your team works together. You pick your team’s Fuse after choosing your champions, so you can try each one out to see what suits you best.

Here are the Fuses that are available when you launch 2XKO for the first time:

Juggernaut: Play as a single champion with extra power. You can’t use Assists, but gain a few buffs, including bonus health, damage reduction, and additional bars of meter.
Sidekick: Your Point champion gains health and a defense boost. Your Assist champion can’t tag in, but gains supporting abilities.
Double Down: Combine your Point and Assist champions’ Super attacks.

There are two more advanced Fuses that can be unlocked by completing tutorials in the Learning Hub: 2X Assist and Freestyle.

2XKO is available for free in the Microsoft Store for Xbox. Check out the 2XKO website and YouTube channel for more on how to play and to get a look at each champion. See you in the lobby!
