How to 1v1 in 2XKO

2XKO is a game ideally designed to be played in pairs, and going in with your buddy is fun, but you can also opt to play 1v1.

1v1 in 2XKO has a different brand of challenge altogether, as you’ll need to get character selection on point. This guide will help you go all in on your own with 1v1 challenges and get your basics right.

How to play 1v1 in 2XKO

While the official format of the game heavily encourages you to play in duos, 1v1 is officially supported in early access. You can set it up in custom games, or just go in with versus. Here’s how you can take part in a 1v1 match in 2XKO.

• Open and load 2XKO.
• Select the correct mode. For this guide, we will use the Versus mode.
• Select your duo. Both Champions you pick will be under your control.
• Decide the match rules (if you are allowed to change them).
• Start the fight.

That’s how easy it is to create and enjoy 1v1 duels in 2XKO. However, it’s one thing just to play the game, and another to do so well.

Best 1v1 tips and tricks in 2XKO

The dynamics of a 1v1 battle are different. While you still fight in duos, both characters are under your control. Naturally, you have more freedom when it comes to decision-making. This also makes things slightly complex, and here are a few tips and tricks to help you win the duels.

• Pick characters that are complementary in nature. Every character in 2XKO has a special synergy with another. While it’s not necessary to concentrate on that, having intra-character synergy will be helpful.
• When picking your duo, focus on their skills. You’ll want to have one character who is great at fighting, while the other should offer buffs as assists.
• Don’t be afraid to switch your characters. Your main character might die unless you choose to switch. While the main objective of your secondary is to assist, switch to them to keep your main character alive.
• Don’t forget your basics if you have an OP combo. Your fundamentals will still be the key to winning more matches. You can always practice with a character before picking them in an actual battle.
