We’re now just around a month away from the Season 1 launch of 2XKO alongside Caitlyn and the console release, but the game’s community has already been going hard for quite a while already.
One of France’s best recently put together what he describes as “the most objective 2XKO tier list you’ve ever seen” following the previous balance update from the start of the month.
For those who don’t already know him, Noka’s been around for a good few years and recently took 9th place for 2XKO at Evo France 2025 as well as 5th place for Dragon Ball FighterZ.
Despite the nerfs to Yasuo, Ekko and Teemo in the last patches, there has still been quite the debate as to who the best character in the game is now, but Noka believes it’s none of them.
Instead, he has Ahri as the top overall after she’s been mostly evading the nerf hammer, and only Ekko made it into his top three.
That third place now belongs to Warwick, and as to why the big bad wolf is apparently so strong, Noka responded with a simple image.

This doesn’t mean the others are are much worse off, however, since Yasuo and Teemo are still up in S tier too.
He only has one character down in C tier too, and you can probably guess who that is at this point.
Noka’s rankings are quite a bit different than Dragon Ball FighterZ world champion Hikari’s recent 2XKO tier list, so it’s interesting to see how much of a split there is.
