Riot Game<\/a>s has released a new trailer for free-to-play fighting game 2XKO<\/em> featuring an in-depth look at playable character Illaoi, the Kraken Priestess. <\/p>\n

\u201cHey, everyone. I\u2019m Caroline [Montano], game designer on 2XKO<\/em>, here to give you an update on the latest addition to our roster\u2014a champion who will be available to play for the very first time at this year\u2019s EVO Japan.<\/p>\n

\u201cIllaoi, the Kraken Preistess. As the prophet of Nagakabouros, the Great Kraken, Illaoi\u2019s faith demands that she take control of her own destiny by always moving forward. She wields a golden totem to test the will of her opponents and summon tentacles to fight by her side. <\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2XKO<\/em>, Illaoi is a heavy-hitting juggernaut who overwhelms enemies with pressure as unyielding as her faith. She\u2019s all about landing big hits and dealing big damage. Then, using tentacles to lock her opponent down and combo out of control.<\/p>\n

\u201cHer kit revolves around summoning and activating spirit tentacles. First, she can use any of her S2 Specials to spawn a tentacle. Then, she can use any of her S1 Specials to trigger a tentacle follow-up attack, as long as her opponent is within that tentacle\u2019s \u201csplash zone.\u201d Even if her opponent isn\u2019t in range, Illaoi can use certain moves to teleport the nearest tentacle to them. She can also use Prayer of Motion or Prayer in Stagnation to activate tentacles from a distance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile tentacles are an important part of Illaoi\u2019s kit, she\u2019s not a puppet character. We didn\u2019t want it to feel like her tentacles were doing all the fighting for her. Instead, they\u2019re like rewards that Illaoi can earn by playing well. It means always staying in motion and taking smart risks to take control of the game. Illaoi can also lose tentacles if her opponent hits them. In which case, Illaoi can still do big damage, but she does lose access to some of her strongest neutral options. This means she\u2019ll have to take more risks, or use an assist to engage her opponent\u2014which isn\u2019t ideal.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn development, there was a lot of debate around how tentacles should work. Should they be a true extension of Illaoi? Should they be completely independent of her? Both of these options felt very \u201csink or swim.\u201d So we opted for a more balanced route, where Illaoi can activate tentacles without making direct contact with an opponent, but that opponent still has counterplay against them.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeyond her tentacles, we wanted Illaoi\u2019s kit to capture her incredible size, strength, and momentum\u2014and her Supers are no exception. With her S1 Super, Crashing Waves, Illaoi picks up her opponent, swings them overhead, and slams them into the ground twice. If she already has a tentacle up, holding S1 will reposition it so that she can stay on the offense after her Super ends. Her S2 Super, Wrath of Nagakabouros, summons giant tentacles that smack the ground around them. It also turns any tentacles that were already active into giant tentacles and leaves one behind after it ends. It can be an extremely oppressive move; but if Illaoi or her duo is hit at any point during the Super, her tentacles will disapp<\/a>ear. So it\u2019s safest to use against an opponent who\u2019s knocked down.<\/p>\n

\u201cFinally, Illaoi\u2019s Ultimate\u2014Test of Spirit\u2014sends her opponent\u2019s soul to the depths, where they\u2019ll come face to face with Nagakabouros. We love the idea of Illaoi smacking the spirit out of her opponent and beating it up as an homage to her kit in League. Test of Spirit is a mid-range move with super fast start-up, which makes it great for ending combos, as a whiff punish, or for hitting an assist that\u2019s far away. It\u2019s also invincible on startup, making it a powerful reversal. Illaoi\u2019s pretty capable on her own, but her powerful assists make her an equally formidable tag partner. Her Back Assist is a long-range tentacle strike, same as her S1 Special. If there\u2019s already a tentacle in range of her opponent, it\u2019ll perform its usual follow up attack.<\/p>\n

\u201cIllaoi\u2019s forward assist is the same as her S2 Special. On it\u2019s own, the assist is great for controlling mid-range, but using handshake tag immedia<\/a>tely afterwards lets Illaoi swap in and use the tentacle she just created to keep the pressure on. When she\u2019s not on screen, Illaoi\u2019s tentacles stick around to offer her teammate some extra offensive support. Even when she\u2019s KO\u2019ed, Illaoi can use Last Stand to activate Wrath of Nagakabouros and send the opponent to tentacle city.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen choosing a tag partner for Illaoi, remember she wants to back opponents into a corner, but getting them there might be risky. Illaoi\u2019s ideal tag partner is someone with strong neutral and high mobility, who can make space for Illaoi to engage. Ahri is a prime example. Her speed and long range allow her to catch opponents that Illaoi can\u2019t always pin down. Her assists also help Illaoi extend combos or convert a defensive tag into big damage.<\/p>\n

\u201cAgain, Illaoi will be available to play at this year\u2019s EVO Japan along with Ekko, Ahri, Darius, and Yasuo. If you\u2019re attending, try her out with or against your friends and let us know what you think. Otherwise, you can still sign up for at home playtests happening later this year and follow us on social for all future Illaoi updates. Thanks for watching and see you next time.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
