This page explains how 2XKO champion tokens work, what they cost, and which champions you can unlock with them. You enter your current token balance and the champion you want, and the calculator below tells you how many tokens you still need or how much real money that translates to.
Formula
The core calculation is simple: each champion costs a fixed number of tokens (100 in this example). The formula is:
Tokens still needed = Champion cost − Tokens you have
Where:
- Champion cost = 100 tokens (this is the standard price for a single champion unlock in 2XKO)
- Tokens you have = your current in-game balance
- Tokens still needed = the shortfall you must cover, either by earning or buying
The approximate cost assumes you can buy tokens in packs of 100 for $9.99. If you need 50 tokens, the calculator rounds up to the nearest pack, so it shows $9.99. If you need 150, it shows $19.98, and so on.
Worked Example
Suppose you have 40 tokens and you want to unlock Ahri (cost 100 tokens).
- Tokens still needed = 100 − 40 = 60 tokens
- Since you must buy tokens in packs of 100, you need 1 pack.
- Cost = 1 × $9.99 = $9.99
The calculator gives the same result: 60 tokens needed, $9.99 approximate cost.
Background: How 2XKO Champion Tokens Work
2XKO is Riot Games’ upcoming 2D fighting game featuring champions from League of Legends. In the current beta and planned live version, champion tokens are the premium currency used to unlock playable characters permanently. Unlike League of Legends, where you can earn champions with Blue Essence, 2XKO’s token system is more straightforward: each champion costs a flat 100 tokens, and there are no discounts or bundles for multiple champions.
The token system is similar to what Riot uses in VALORANT (Radianite Points) or League of Legends (RP), but it’s specifically tied to champion unlocks. Tokens are account-bound and cannot be traded or transferred.
Free Methods to Get Champion Tokens
As of the current beta, there are a few legitimate ways to earn tokens without spending money:
- Battle Pass / Event Pass: The seasonal battle pass awards a limited number of tokens (usually 50–100) as free rewards on the track.
- In-game events: Limited-time events sometimes give tokens as participation rewards.
- Beta rewards: Players who participated in early beta tests received a small token bonus as a thank-you.
- Daily/weekly missions: Simple tasks like playing a match or winning with a specific character can grant small amounts of tokens.
There is no way to earn unlimited free tokens. The free sources are capped per season, so eventually you will need to buy tokens if you want every champion.
Who to Unlock First: Champion Roster and Costs
The current roster (as of the latest beta) includes these champions, all costing 100 tokens each:
- Yasuo – a fast, aggressive duelist with wind-based attacks.
- Ahri – a mobile mage with projectiles and a dash.
- Darius – a heavy-hitting bruiser with a pull and an execute.
- Ekko – a time-manipulating assassin with a rewind ability.
- Jinx – a zoning character with rockets and a minigun.
- Illaoi – a grappler-style character with tentacle summons.
When choosing who to unlock, consider your playstyle:
- If you like rushdown and pressure, pick Yasuo or Ekko.
- If you prefer zoning and keep-away, pick Jinx or Ahri.
- If you like grapplers and heavy damage, pick Illaoi or Darius.
Remember that you can try any champion in the training mode for free before spending tokens.
Token Prices and Purchase Options
Riot has not officially announced final token prices for the live release, but based on beta data and similar games, the expected pricing is:
- 100 tokens – $9.99
- 500 tokens – $44.99 (roughly 10% discount)
- 1000 tokens – $79.99 (roughly 20% discount)
These are estimates and may change. The calculator uses the $9.99 per 100 token rate for simplicity. Larger packs give a better per-token value, so if you plan to unlock multiple champions, buying a bigger pack is cheaper in the long run.
Common Problems and Misconceptions
One common misconception is that you can earn tokens by playing ranked matches. This is false – ranked matches give experience and season points, but not tokens. Tokens only come from the specific sources listed above.
Another issue is that some players think tokens are shared between the beta and the full game. In most cases, beta progress is reset, and tokens you earn in the beta do not carry over to the live release. However, tokens you buy with real money during the beta are usually refunded or credited back, so you don’t lose your purchase.
If you see a website claiming to offer free token generators, avoid it – these are scams that can steal your account credentials. Riot never gives away tokens outside of official events.
Alternatives to Buying Tokens
If you don’t want to spend money, you have a few options:
- Play the free rotation: 2XKO will have a rotating free champion pool, just like League of Legends. You can play any champion in the rotation without unlocking them.
- Wait for events: Seasonal events often give away a free champion token as a login reward.
- Focus on one champion: Instead of unlocking everyone, master one character and save your tokens.
Remember that you don’t need every champion to enjoy the game. Most players stick to a main and a secondary character.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I earn 2XKO champion tokens for free?
Yes, but only in limited amounts. The battle pass, events, and missions give a small number of tokens each season. You cannot grind unlimited tokens – the free sources are capped.
How much does a 2XKO champion cost in real money?
Each champion costs 100 tokens, which is about $9.99 if you buy the smallest pack. Larger packs reduce the per-token cost, so a champion could cost as little as $8 if you buy a 1000-token pack.
Will my beta tokens carry over to the full game?
Usually not. Earned tokens are reset when the beta ends. However, purchased tokens are typically refunded to your account as a balance, so you can spend them again in the live version.
Which champion should I unlock first?
It depends on your playstyle. If you’re new to fighting games, Darius is forgiving because of his simple moves and high damage. If you like speed, try Yasuo. If you want to zone, Jinx is a good choice.
Can I get tokens by playing ranked?
No. Ranked matches give season points and XP, but not champion tokens. Tokens come only from the specific free sources or purchases.
Is there a way to unlock champions without tokens?
No, tokens are the only currency for champion unlocks. There is no in-game currency like Blue Essence that you can earn by playing. The free rotation is the only way to play champions you haven’t unlocked.
