2XKO Champion Guide: Teemo
Special Move
Blinding Dart (Quarter Circle Forward + Punch): Your primary zoning tool that applies poison and briefly blinds opponents. Use this to control space and set up your gameplan.
Mushroom Placement (Quarter Circle Back + Kick): Places a Noxious Trap that explodes when opponents step near. These mushrooms stay active for extended periods, creating persistent threats.
Move Quick (Dragon Punch Motion + Kick): Teemo gains increased movement speed and can pass through opponents. Essential for escaping pressure or repositioning for counterattacks.
Guerrilla Warfare (Half Circle Back + Punch): Activates temporary camouflage, making Teemo partially invisible. Perfect for mind games and unexpected approaches.
tip
Always have at least one mushroom active on screen. They serve as both defensive tools and combo extenders when opponents trigger them.
Badge System and Character Synergy
Teemo benefits significantly from specific badge combinations that enhance his unique playstyle strengths.
Recommended Badge Loadouts
Zone Control Build:
- Persistence: Extends mushroom duration

The Persistence badge proves particularly valuable, as longer-lasting mushrooms create more consistent battlefield control. Meanwhile, Toxicity amplifies Teemo's damage over time effects, making each successful hit more threatening.
Neutral Game Strategy and Positioning
Teemo thrives in neutral situations where he can control space and dictate engagement terms. Your primary goal involves establishing mushroom coverage while maintaining optimal spacing for dart throws.
Spacing Fundamentals
Position yourself at medium range where your darts remain effective but opponent rushdown becomes predictable. This sweet spot allows you to react to approaches while maintaining offensive pressure through poison application.
Movement patterns should focus on creating angles rather than direct confrontation. Use Teemo's superior mobility to force opponents into awkward positions where they must choose between eating mushroom damage or accepting dart pressure.
warning
Avoid close-range exchanges unless you have a clear escape route planned. Teemo's defensive options up close are limited compared to his mid-range control.
Mushroom Placement Strategy
Strategic mushroom positioning separates good Teemo players from great ones. Place traps near common approach routes, behind your position for retreat coverage, and in corners where opponents might try to escape.

Advanced placement involves predicting opponent movement patterns and creating mushroom networks that funnel enemies into disadvantageous positions. Think several moves ahead when setting up your trap network.
Combat Combinations and Setups
Teemo's combo system emphasizes poison application and positional advantage over raw damage output. Focus on sequences that maximize poison stacks while maintaining safe spacing.
Basic Combo Routes
Starter Combo:
- Light Punch → Medium Punch → Blinding Dart
- Applies multiple poison stacks with safe spacing
Mushroom Setup:
- Crouching Light → Mushroom Placement → Backdash
- Creates trap while maintaining defensive position
Pressure Sequence:
- Jump Medium → Light Punch → Move Quick → Reset
- Applies poison then repositions for continued pressure
Advanced Combinations
Mushroom Extension:
- Opponent triggers mushroom → Dash Forward → Medium Punch → Blinding Dart
- Capitalizes on mushroom hits for extended combos
Camouflage Mixup:
- Guerrilla Warfare → Dash → Heavy Punch → Mushroom Placement
- Uses invisibility for unexpected approaches
tip
Always end combos with either mushroom placement or positioning advantages. Raw damage matters less than maintaining battlefield control.
Team Synergy and Assist Usage
Teemo functions best as a support character who sets up situations for more aggressive partners. His assist calls provide excellent coverage and setup opportunities.
Optimal Team Compositions
Control Teams:
- Teemo + Braum: Defensive synergy with area denial
- Teemo + Jinx: Zoning pressure with explosive potential
Setup Teams:
- Teemo + Darius: Mushrooms create approach opportunities
- Teemo + Vi: Poison softens targets for heavy combos
Assist Integration
When calling assists, use Teemo's mushrooms to cover assist recovery frames. This creates safe situations where teammates can extend pressure without fear of immediate counterattack.
Defensive assists work particularly well with Teemo's kit, as they provide breathing room for mushroom setup and poison application. Characters like Braum offer excellent synergy through their protective capabilities.
Advanced Techniques and Mind Games
Teemo's psychological warfare extends beyond simple poison application. Master players use his unique mechanics to create complex mental pressure that affects opponent decision-making.
Camouflage Applications
Guerrilla Warfare serves multiple purposes beyond simple invisibility. Use it to:
- Reset neutral situations when under pressure
- Create ambiguous positioning for mixups
- Escape corner situations safely
- Set up unexpected mushroom placements
Mushroom Psychology
Visible mushrooms often prove more valuable than hidden ones. Opponents who see traps must constantly consider their positioning, creating mental burden that affects their gameplay quality.
Mushroom feints involve placing traps in obvious locations to force specific movement patterns, then capitalizing on predictable opponent responses with dart pressure or additional traps.
important
Teemo's greatest strength lies in making opponents overthink simple situations. Use this psychological advantage consistently.
