We have had a surprise gameplay reveal for Blitzcrank, who could be a pretty unique pick in 2XKO.
Revealed ahead of the upcoming closed beta, the 2-minute trailer had some fascinating insights. For starters, the trailer sheds a lot of light on an iconic Blitzcrank ability that will be adapted for the upcoming game. Just like in the MOBA, the iconic grab-and-pull could cause havoc on the battlefield.
2XKO Blitzcrank moves explained
The trailer, revealed on Sept. 2, shared the moveset for Blitzcrank and how his League of Legends kit will be translated into the 2D-fighting style of 2XKO.
Blitzcrank's main offensive arsenal is his Rocket Grab, and it could be a devastating move. In the trailer, everyone's favorite robot went against some of the other member rosters like Illaoi, Jinx, and more. It appears that Rocket Grab can break through defensive blocks, which really makes it interesting. In simpler words, the only easy way to avoid the move could be a jump.
That said, the move can generate massive combos that can eat plenty of the opponent's health in no time. While some of his common abilities seem a bit clunky, the combos certainly look more interesting.
Another ability we witnessed in the trailer was his signature Mana Barrier, which can be used as defense. In a brief glimpse, we saw Blitzcrank creating a shield with his barrier that made him invincible for a short time.
There were certain instances of Power Fist and Static Fist also being part of his kit, but they didn't get much time in the trailer. I am sure we will be able to analyze the moves more once the closed beta goes live on Sept. 9.
