Here\u2019s a breakdown of <a href=\"https:\/\/thunderpick.gl\/blog\/how-many-lol-champions-are-there\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">every LoL champion<\/a> featured in this season:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"vi\">Vi<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Vi is a major protagonist in <em>Arcane<\/em> and the headstrong, protective older sister of Powder (later Jinx). Raised in Zaun, Piltover\u2019s \u201cundercity,\u201d she learned how to rob and cheat for self-preservation. Despite her rebellious streak, Vi eventually forms a complicated bond with Caitlyn to fight crime while quietly hoping to save the sister she lost to madness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"jinx-powder\">Jinx (Powder)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Initially known as Powder, Jinx is Vi\u2019s younger sister and the protagonist (turned antagonist) who falls victim to abandonment and Silco\u2019s manipulation. She transforms from an innocent child to an unpredictable anarchist. Her story is filled with heartbreak and destruction, making Jinx arguably the most tragic and volatile character in <em>Arcane.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ekko\">Ekko<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ekko begins as a side character in <em>Arcane <\/em>Season 1 but rises to lead the Firelights, a rebel street gang fighting to reclaim Zaun from Silco. He is brilliant and inventive, with his earlier appearance foreshadowing his future as a time-bending genius. Ekko\u2019s emotional fallout with Jinx leads to the most memorable fight in the entire series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"singed\">Singed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Singed is a brilliant but morally compromised chemist who helps Silco seize control of Zaun with a drug he created called Shimmer. The drug is used to save Jinx\u2019s life and transform Vander into Warwick. Motivated to cure his daughter Orianna, Singed\u2019s obsession with defying death pushes him into a life of inhumane experimentation and moral <a href=\"https:\/\/thunderpick.io\/blog\/valorant-rank-decay\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"15\" title=\"valorant rank decay\">decay<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"caitlyn\">Caitlyn<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Caitlyn is a privileged scion of Piltover with a strong sense of justice. Her investigation as an Enforcer leads her into Zaun, where she becomes close with Vi, a bond that blurs the line between duty and emotion. As they pursue Silco\u2019s criminal empire, Caitlyn\u2019s growing obsession with justice strains their bond amid rising tension between the cities and a looming war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"jayce\">Jayce<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Jayce is a visionary inventor in <em>Arcane<\/em> whose rise begins with the breakthrough creation of Hextech. Initially driven by idealism, he is forced into moral compromise by political pressure, war, and personal loss. As Hextech\u2019s threat grows, Jayce rejects power (haunted by what he\u2019s built) and fights to destroy the future he once dreamed of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"heimerdinger\">Heimerdinger<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Heimerdinger is a centuries-old Yordle scientist who helped build Piltover. Though he inspired Jayce, he heavily opposed Hextech\u2019s creation, leading to his expulsion from the Council. Cast out, Heimerdinger finds himself in Zaun, where he meets Ekko (his new prodigy) and rediscovers purpose beyond politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"viktor\">Viktor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Viktor begins as an ambitious but terminally ill inventor from Zaun, working with Jayce to pioneer Hextech. Desperate to survive and uplift his people, he experiments with Shimmer and the Hexcore, unlocking arcane power at the cost of his emotional humanity. Jayce eventually confronts him, and together they neutralize the volatile magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"kindred\">Kindred<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Although they are not part of the main plot, Kindred are referenced as an Easter egg when Caitlyn and Vi explore a brothel in Zaun during <em>Arcane <\/em>Episode 5. They\u2019re represented by two masked figures: Lamb and Wolf, the dual aspects of death. It\u2019s extremely subtle!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"all-arcane-league-of-legends-characters-in-season-2\">All Arcane League of Legends Characters In Season 2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Arcane<\/em> Season 2 brings many returning LoL champs from Season 1, expanding on their backstories, while introducing a handful of new faces, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ambessa-medarda\">Ambessa Medarda<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Although technically an <em>Arcane<\/em> character first, Ambessa Medarda was added to LoL in 2024 (so we\u2019re counting her for our S2 rundown). She\u2019s a ruthless Noxian warlord who values legacy and strength above all. She initially seeks Hextech weapons and pushes Jayce toward war, later gaining military command and manipulating Piltover\u2019s politics. She eventually dies in <a href=\"https:\/\/thunderpick.io\/blog\/how-to-play-mel-league-of-legends\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"343\" title=\"Mel LoL\">Mel<\/a>\u2019s arms (or does she?), defiant to the very end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mel\">Mel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mel Medarda is a cunning Noxian exile turned Piltover councilor who uses diplomacy and political finesse to shape the city\u2019s future. Initially molding Jayce to gain influence, she becomes attached to him. In Season 2, Mel pushes for peace as tensions rise with Zaun, defying her estranged war-hungry mother, Ambessa Medarda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"warwick\">Warwick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Warwick is Vander (Jinx and Vi\u2019s adoptive father) after being transformed by Singed\u2019s brutal Shimmer and Hextech experiments. While hints of his humanity remain, Warwick is a monstrous, wolf-like creature. His body is enhanced with alchemical tech, and an insatiable predatory thirst for blood drives him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"orianna\">Orianna<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Orianna is the terminally ill daughter of Singed (formerly Dr. Corin Reveck). Her condition is what drives Reeveck\u2019s descent into twisted experimentation. Orianna makes her debut in Season 2 where she\u2019s transformed into a cyborg-like figure (aligning with her persona as the \u201cLady of Clockwork\u201d), with her body heavily augmented with machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"le-blanc\">LeBlanc<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>LeBlanc is a sorceress and the manipulative leader of the Black Rose in <em>Arcane<\/em>. She appears in Season 2, abducting Mel to awaken her latent powers and using illusion magic to destabilize Piltover. Mel later turns on her following the mage\u2019s clash with Ambessa and seemingly destroys her. However, LeBlanc survives, setting the stage for future conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"swain\">Swain<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Swain does not physically appear in S2, his presence is teased through a recurring raven symbol tied to Noxian politics. He\u2019s never explicitly named, but the raven is likely a nod to Swain\u2019s influence in LoL lore. This subtle setup hints at his future involvement, possibly positioning him as a major character in a later season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"teemo\">Teemo<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While not officially featured in <em>Arcane<\/em>, there are multiple hints to Teemo throughout the show. For example, references to the Swift Scout appear in a children\u2019s book, on Isha\u2019s hat, Sevika\u2019s slot machine arm, and even as a mural on a wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"back-your-lo-l-champs-at-thunderpick\">Back Your LoL Champs At Thunderpick<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Think you know how these champs would stack up in a real fight?
