Summary
Riot Games has revealed an Ahri skin for itsLeague of Legendsfighting game2XKO. Officially revealed earlier this year,2XKOis an upcoming 2v2 tag-based fighting game featuring characters from theLeague of Legendsfranchise, such as Ahri, Illaoi, Braum, and Yasuo.
Just like other fighting games,2XKO’s characters have different fighting styles and functions that complement their originalLeague of Legendsabilities. For example, Riot Games managed to adaptAhri’s Mage-Assassin role inLeague of Legendsinto an effective combat style. She can use her Orb of Deception and Charm abilities to deal burst damage to her foes, and her signature ability, Spirit Rush, lets her dash towards opponents to catch them off-guard.
The fighting styles aren’t the only ones that Riot Games brought to2XKO– the developer is apparently adding champion skins to the fighting game too. During the2XKOpanel at EVO 2024, the developers revealed that the Dynasty Ahri skin was coming to2XKOby showing the champion wearing a pink Korean hanbok-inspired outfit while gracefully landing in the ring. The Dynasty Ahri skin was first released in 2011, and was considered one of the champion’s most popular skins.
How to Get Dynasty Ahri Skin in 2XKO
ManyLeague of Legendsfans expressed their excitement for the Dynasty Ahri skin, even noting that it looked better than the original version because the Asian-inspired details are more prominent. Meanwhile, there are also fans who are worried that the2XKOskin might come at a premium price, especially if it will be available in the full release. It’s a valid sentiment, especially afterLeague of Legendsdrew flak for its expensive Faker Ahri skin.
Nonetheless,2XKOis already showing a lot of promise with its fighting game style and how it shows a different side of popularLeague of Legendscharacters. It also shows how Riot Games further expandsLeague of Legends' world through different gameplay genres, like itsVampire Survivors-inspired Swarm PvE mode.
