The Redeemer reveals her full arsenal and looks to become one of 2XKO's most complex fighters

Senna’s arrival in 2XKO is drawing closer, and Riot Games has decided to show its full hand. Following the reveal of her backstory and her first gameplay trailer, the studio has officially published Senna’s complete move list, offering the most detailed look yet at a fighter destined to become one of the most technical and versatile characters on the roster.
The champion will join the game on June 9, bringing with her a unique mechanic based on switching between her standard state and the powerful Wraith Form—a spectral transformation that completely redefines her combat style.
Light and darkness transformed into gameplay mechanics
Since her debut in League of Legends, Senna has always been defined by the balance between the Sentinels of Light and the darkness of the Black Mist.
Riot has translated this duality directly into 2XKO through a combat system that revolves around two distinct states.
In her standard form, Senna utilizes her massive relic cannon to control space, keep opponents at bay, and punish mistakes from mid-to-long range. However, when she activates her Wraith Form, her abilities change, granting her access to new offensive tools inspired by her spectral powers.
A fighter driven by resource management
Wraith Form does not function as a simple permanent transformation.
According to the details shown in her move list, Senna must manage a specific meter to access this state. Once activated, the resource drains progressively, forcing the player to carefully decide when to unleash her most powerful tools.
This system closely resembles traditional "stance characters" within the fighting game genre, a archetype traditionally found among the most complex and technical fighters.
The competitive community has already begun speculating on the long-term strategic depth this mechanic could provide.
Space control, projectiles, and constant pressure
Everything points toward Senna occupying a vastly different role compared to rushdown characters like Ahri or Darius.
Her kit is clearly tailored for space control, utilizing projectiles, extended-range normals, and tools designed to force the opponent into making mistakes.
Riot previously teased that the character would retain recognizable elements from her League of Legends counterpart, though completely adapted to the much faster pace of a fighting game.
Furthermore, several of her abilities showcase highly interesting synergies within 2XKO's signature tag-team system, opening up windows for her partner to swap in and extend combos.
A highly anticipated addition to the roster
Senna’s arrival is part of Riot’s plan to continuously expand the 2XKO character lineup throughout 2026.
For months, the studio has emphasized that every fighter must possess a strongly defined identity and unique mechanics capable of setting them apart from the rest of the cast. In that regard, Senna seems to hit the mark perfectly with her combination of ranged attacks, tactical control, and spectral transformation.
A clear candidate for high-level play
While it is still too early to talk about her definitive position in the meta, the complexity displayed in her move list suggests that Senna could quickly become a favorite among competitive players.
Characters featuring multiple stances, resource management, and robust zoning options usually offer enormous potential when mastered by specialists.
Judging by what Riot has shown so far, it is evident that Senna was designed precisely to reward that level of dedication.
The Redeemer hits the stages of 2XKO on June 9.
And if her move list is any indication, players will need plenty of time in the training lab to discover everything she is truly capable of doing.
