Thus far, we’ve seen gameplay for Darrius, Ahri, Ekko, Yasuo, and Illaoi in 2XKO. Darrius and Illaoi appear to be the big-bodied characters of the game so far, but how would they fare in a team together?
Unsurprisingly, this type of team is good for players that like to dish huge amounts of damage to the opponent’s health bar. 2XKO on Twitter recently posted a clip of a combo with Illaoi and Darrius on the same team that gives us an idea on what type of damage we should be expecting in this game.
As it turns out, 2XKO is like a team versus fighting game in that a character’s individual health bar can be depleted much faster than a typical one versus one fighter. The clip demonstrates how Illaoi and Darrius can deal around 60% against Ahri using just one bar of super meter.
Even if this combo doesn’t kill the opponent outright, it should be noted that Illaoi’s level 1 super appears to leave the opponent in a hard knockdown state. This likely means that even after taking all this damage, the opponent is probably going to have to deal with a mix up immediately afterwards.
During the combo, Darrius is swapped in just briefly before Illaoi swaps back in to finish the combo. In total, the combo ended up chaining 23 hits together.
Of course, everything seen about 2XKO before launch is subject to change, but this provides us with a good idea on what combos will be like with the full launch. Check it all out below:
