Today is a big day for the 2XKO roster. Thresh and Senna just dropped simultaneously in Patch 1.2.3 — the first time two champions have hit the game on the same day. If you’ve been waiting for a reason to jump back in, this is it.
Two Champions, One Drop — Why This Matters
Riot dropping Thresh and Senna together isn’t a coincidence. These two share one of the most iconic relationships in all of League of Legends lore — a tortured soul trapped in a lantern, and the warrior of light determined to free him. Bringing them in as a pair makes narrative sense, and more importantly, it makes for some deeply satisfying duo gameplay synergy.
This is 2XKO’s 14th and 15th champion — and the roster is starting to feel genuinely stacked.
Senna’s Kit: Two Forms, One Cannon, Zero Chill
Senna plays like a patient zoner who can flip the script at any moment. Her S1 specials revolve around her massive relic stone cannon — chargeable, usable on the ground or in the air, capable of stuffing approaches from across the screen. Her S2 gives her Mist-based tools: a low projectile that can change direction mid-flight and a lobbed grenade that slows the opponent on hit.
But her defining mechanic is the Wraith Meter. Land heavies and specials to charge it up, then activate her install transformation — the Wraith form — which shifts her entire game plan into a shadowy rush-down mode. She’s essentially two characters in one, and learning when to flip the switch is going to separate the good Sennas from the great ones.
Thresh’s Kit: The Chain That Rewrites Neutral
Thresh is unlike anything currently on the roster. He’s slow on his feet — deliberately so — but his normal dash is actually a short invincibility-frame teleport that makes him incredibly slippery when you least expect it.
His chained scythe reaches across the screen and gives him options most characters don’t have: drag opponents toward him, launch them into the air, slam them into the ground, or pull himself to them. The range on this thing is genuinely threatening. But the real standout is Dark Passage — Thresh drops his lantern on the battlefield, activating Lantern Tag, a unique repositioning mechanic that lets either character on his duo teleport directly to the lantern’s location. The positional chaos this creates in a tag fighter is going to be wild to watch at high level.
Both Legal at EVO 2026 — The Clock Is Ticking
Here’s the part that has the competitive community buzzing: both Thresh and Senna are legal for EVO 2026 in Las Vegas (June 26–28), with a $75,000 prize pool on the line. That’s a short runway for players to lab these characters and decide whether to commit to them for the tournament.
The risk-reward is real. Thresh’s Lantern Tag has the ceiling to be broken at a major. Senna’s dual-form design gives her flexibility that established characters can’t match. But both are new, and new characters at a tournament always carry execution risk.
Expect to see early adopters take them to locals over the next two weeks — and watch the tier list discourse catch fire in real time.
Should You Pick Them Up?
If you’re a patient player who likes zoning and transformation mechanics, Senna is your character. There’s a high ceiling here and her kit rewards players who understand fight pacing.
If you want to play mind games, control space in ways opponents haven’t seen before, and have a mechanical trick up your sleeve at all times, Thresh is your guy. The Lantern Tag alone is worth labbing for a week.
Either way — they’re both free to unlock, there’s no reason not to try them both this week.
