With the ending of Arcane’s first act – her being kidnapped by the enforcer, while Jayce and Viktor make huge advancements in hextech – it seems clear that this is the direction they’ll take her in the show as well. In the launch trailer for Arcane we see Vi wielding the Hextech fists she is known for in League of Legends (Image courtesy of Riot Games) She is an adult, much older than what’s been shown in Arcane so far, and wears large hextech gauntlets on both hands to give herself tremendous punching power. In the lore behind Runeterra and League of Legends, Vi is an enforcer in Piltover.
In Arcane, she and her younger sister Powder were orphaned at a young age after a bloody revolution, where they struggled to survive by committing small-time robberies until they. She plays as a jungler, and has a lot of gap-closing tools and dashes to help make plays across the map. Vi eventually became an officer of the law, albeit one with a very loose relationship to the rules and authority, and a preference for solving problems with her fists. Her basic abilities have also stayed mostly the same since that time. Vi was released as a playable champion in League of Legends all the way back in 2012. It also confirms that she has plenty of fighting skill without her gauntlets – something Arcane viewers can expect to see as the show progresses.
In the launch trailer and taster for the next Act we can expect a much older Vi (Image courtesy of Riot Games)Īrcane is the first mention League of Legends fans have ever had of Vi’s real name – Violet. Powder, thinking Vi abandoned her, falls into Silco’s arms. She never gets the chance to go back, though, as she’s kidnapped by an enforcer – a police officer from Piltover. Vi finds her sister, and heads around the corner to try to calm her anger. After a long, tough fight, they’ve nearly broken Vander out when Powder, who had secretly followed them, triggers the hextech stolen from Jayce, killing Milo, Claggor, and seemingly Vander.
