Zaunties and Jinx aid Jayce to attack Noxians. Viktor enters the valut along with Warwick who fights off Jinx and Vi. Mel and Caitlyn teams up against Ambessa and defeats her using Black Rose power. During the fight with Vander, Jinx dies and our heroes destory wild rune. In the end, Vi and Caitlyn end of wondering about the future, Mel departs for Noxus and Sevika becomes Zaun’s councilmember. That’s how it all ends, in my opinsion season two had amazing start. Each epsiosdes were bangers with heart pounding music and stunning visual by Fortiche. I know Fortiche cost alot of money and it will take a while for season three. Arcane is a well-written show with immerse story-telling.
I love character developement with Jinx, Vi, Mel and Jayce. Ambessa was more of antagonist in this season. Everything I watch the show, intro theme “Enemy by Imgaine Dragons” keeps me pumped. I am no League of Legends fan but I recommeded this show to anyone. I see Arcane won “Best Adaptation” at The Game Awards because its that good. Can’t wait for season three because during ending of season two they stated “story is not done”. There might be spin off based on the characters in the near future.
