#arcane season 2 speculation

[mollysunder]

I know people have tried using Caitlyn's map to understand Piltover and Zaun's geography, but I think Silco's map in Zaun offers a better view. When you piece together the brief shots of Silco's own map, including after Jinx vandalized it, you can make out more details in Piltover.

For example, in the area designated as Upper Piltover, there's a yellow highlighted path called Gold Way in parenthesis that leads to the Council's building. Upper Piltover likely most likely contains the Blue Wind Court, the district home to the wealthiest families in Piltover.

If you tie all the shots of Silco's map together, you get something like this. I find it interesting that Silco's map shows that there's two smaller bridges that connect Zaun and Piltover across the river. They don't appear as prominent the main bridge, they might even be in disrepair, but they are present on a Silco's map chose to keep. Are these bridges no go zones for Zaunite trade? Are they smaller commuter corridors perpetually out of service? Who knows, at least we know they exist now, and so does Jinx.

Someone made a cleaner version of the map for an rpg site. The map mixes Arcane's new geography of the two cities, but still applies old and unconfirmed names for sections of both cities, so it'snot completely accurate. I thought it would be good to include because it gets the shape of the fissures right.

#arcane #arcane meta #lol meta #it's very on the nose for piltover's elite to literally have a border street basically called “paved in gold” #amd have it directly connect to the main government building where they work and make deals #i do wonder if the mining colonies are included in one of the fissures or is it in a different region since they were called colonies? #arcane season 2 speculation

(Be prepared, this is a brain dump)

I can't stop thinking about the fact that the emotional turmoil is going to be through the roof next season, especially for Vi and Caitlyn. During their struggle to de-escalate the war they've found themselves in, the mini-battles taking place in the back of their minds will be just as alive.

It only hit me now how much Caitlyn has been through in such a short time. She survived two explosions, witnessed many of her work colleagues die (which I assume is the first time she has experienced death), was taken hostage twice (first by Ekko then Jinx), and had her life threatened several times (e.g. held at gunpoint). I imagine it's still to hit her too...

And then there's the chance her mother won't survive the attack on the council, which will leave her devastated, if not in denial. The fact that it's caused by Vi's sister only makes this more complex and difficult to accept. The same person Caitlyn let Vi go after on the bridge, the same person she didn't want to sell out to the council, and the same person she chose not to incapacitate at the tea party. I don't think Caitlyn is going to become driven by revenge and try to kill Jinx, but I can definitely see her lose her cool.

Meeting Vi and getting to see the Undercity somehow became both a blessing and a curse, and I think it's possible she'll act upon the frustration caused by the circumstances they find themselves in. Thinking about this now it doesn't seem so unrealistic that we will see a Caitvi interaction "we'll probably hate" (e.g. Caitlyn lashing out at Vi. Nevertheless, I think she'll realise pretty soon afterwards that Vi isn't to blame for the mess their in).

Next season is where Caitlyn's character arc is really going to gain traction and I'm excited (and frankly scared) to see "a different side of her".

Vi also has her own struggles leading into season 2. She'll still be reeling from seeing her sister choose to walk away from her. The hope of "getting Powder back", the only thing on her mind for the past seven years, was shattered in an instant. On top of all this there's the huge possibility of Warwick (AKA Vander) being thrown into the mix. Finding out Vander is alive will rock Vi to her core and add to the barrage of emotions she won't have the time to feel.

(Sidenote: There's so much chaos going on already with the war and now there's possibly gonna be a blood-thirsty werewolf-man on the loose too? What a curveball! )

Besides Caitlyn and Vi's individual struggles, there's also the unresolved tension between them after the "Oil and water" scene. They don't quite know where they stand with each other, and I'm really curious to see how soon they'll address it.

Then there's the fact that Caitlyn probably overheard everything at Jinx's tea party before she was wheeled in, and just thought: "You were right Vi. I don't know anything about you." Up to this point she knew very little about Vi's past, and she still doesn't have the full picture.

Caitlyn is inquisitive, sometimes to a fault (e.g. "How do you not know if your sister is alive or dead?" "What, you don't have parents?"), and I wouldn't be surprised if she wanted some answers after everything she just heard. And even if Vi would rather forget about the past and avoid talking about it, Warwick is going to arrive and open up those old wounds. When she recognizes him, she's going to be distressed and Caitlyn's going to want to know why. This could lead to some heated conversations, especially if Vi is reluctant to share and Caitlyn is insistent on asking questions.

At this point, everything is happening at such a fast pace that they won't have the opportunity to have the heart-to-hearts (and mental breakdowns) they so desperately need. In some ways, their internal struggles are just as difficult to address as their external ones, and once they're able to reinstill peace in their world, they'll have no choice but to face them (you could only hope Arcane will be kind to us and have them crying in each other's arms by the end of the season)

There's this simple, great quote from Helen LaKelly Hunt: "Conflict is growth trying to happen", which is a really positive way to see Caitlyn and Vi's situation. I'm optimistic that if they overcome these challenges, they will not only grow as individuals, but will end up with a relationship that's stronger than they ever imagined.

Anyway, thanks for reading my brain dump ❤

arcane and shattered glass 🤔🤔 from visual depiction of jinx's fractured mind to impact of her action on other people

#arcane #arcane theories #arcane speculations #arcane season 2

[embershroud108]

The one thing they didn’t use from Vi’s LoL lore for her character in Arcane that I wish they had is the fact that she’s also a tech wiz. Or at least a highly competent tinkerer. Like, her gauntlets were originally something that she scavenged and retrofitted herself from a mining machine (which honestly makes more sense than Jayce designing them as mining devices).

But in Arcane we get no sense that Vi is a skilled mechanic. They probably dropped it because they were leaning hard into the trope of “brawny older sibling, brainy younger sibling,” but honestly, I would like it better if both sisters were smart engineers.

Maybe in season 2, since Jinx with the shimmer enhancement is now physically stronger than Vi, Vi will become more “brainy,” learning how to operate and enhance her gauntlets with engineering skill rather than just brute force.

#arcane #season 2 #speculation #vi #we got maybe a little bit of foreshadowing of this when vi immediately when to jayce’s books during the break in #like she seems to have an interest in knowledge #maybe this will be a part of every character becoming opposite of who they were in season 1

[me-and-my-hyperfixations]

I’m still holding on to the Season 2 theory that Ekko is initially on board with working with Caitlyn and Vi to bring Jinx to justice.

And then he finds out that they’re working for Piltover and they want to take Jinx out of Zaun and hand her over to the Pilties. And that’s BS because only a Zaun kid is allowed to beat the shit out of another Zaun kid.

And suddenly he’s like:

#ekko #vi #caitlyn kiramman #jinx #arcane league of legends #Season 2 Speculation #timebomb

[mistresscitrusslice]

So we all agree that either Viktor or Jayce or both of them are going to open a portal to an Eldritch dimension of Lovecraftian horrors and unleash Cthulhu upon the poor, unsuspecting denizens of Runeterra in season 2, right?

#do you think Heimerdinger was talking about Icathia #when he said he saw civilizations destroyed by a seed that looked like the Hexcore #I’m new to League lore but fell down the wiki rabbit hole #and now I’ve convinced myself the apocalypse is nigh #the Void colors match the Hexcore tho #can’t be a coincidence #the void #league of legends #league lore #icathia #hexcore #arcane #arcane season 2 #arcane speculation #viktor #arcane viktor #viktor arcane #jayce talis #heimerdinger

[proffesionalalpaca]

Rewatching a bunch of Arcane content got me thinking about Viktor (because favourite character).

But more specifically on Viktor’s transformed hand.

The Hexcore granted Viktor an exchange with the shimmer and it reformed his entire leg, allowing him to run and probably do more than what little we saw before that gift was taken away.

Sky’s life, to the Hexcore, was only worth a hand, instead of healing Viktor’s whole body like he wanted…it took a life & gave back a new hand, something he didn’t need transforming. To me the exchange did not seem right, the gift was not equal to the price compared to what we saw the Hexcore grant previously.

So I started to think; what if this new hand wasn’t just a hand, but now an extension of Viktor able to access & manipulate the arcane itself. A new hand by which to forge magic-infused technology, creating things no one else could: life-like prosthetics, powerful machines & sentient automatons.

Imagine: Viktor is tinkering with the hex-claw or around some hex-tech crystal, he waves his augmented hand and the magic responds to him. Maybe he can create spells by drawing runes in the air, teleporting himself short distances or even shut down other Hextech devices like Jayce’s Mercury hammer with the wave of his hand (which Jayce would have to modify to prevent this tampering).

Viktor’s exposure to hextech over the years, the Hexcore augmentations and/or latent ability have made Viktor able to manipulate the arcane like a mage, a Hex-mage if you will (which was the initial early development concept of Viktor in LoL, and I think they’ll lean more into for his Arcane iteration).

I feel that there will be a greater consequences to Sky’s death and why that hand demanded such a cost. Also I think it’d be cool to see Viktor go into a proto-machine herald form where he’s figuring all this out, being touched by the arcane in a way that regular people can’t experience, maybe even seeing the world like a mage does and losing his mind a smidge.

[space-blue]

Will there be a war in Arcane season 2? I assume replacement councillors and Ambessa will be pushing for war, while maybe Jayce and Mel oppose them and push only for Jinx to be apprehended? What about the undercity's reaction? Is war really inevitable and immediate after what Jinx did?

Anon, I appreciate that you clearly value my opinion, but this sounds like you think I'm on the writing team!

Sadly your guess is as good as mine, and I generally don't enjoy projection of future canon. I like shows to surprise me, and I don't want to set myself up for disappointment.

The last time I wrote a fic based on "what I think will happen on the show", I ended up writing a Book of Boba Fett fic that was 10x better than the garbage Disney served us. It wasn't as great a feeling as one might expect.

Idk if there'll be a war. In the sense that Zaun has no army. Maybe one with outside forces like Noxus. Who knows. For sure there'll be retribution... We know Warwick enters the picture, Cait allies with Vi, presumably to hunt Jinx and potentially WW... And we have strong evidence Cait's mom dies. Viktor will go full Machine Herald and divorce Jayce fully to the tune of thousands of screaming fans in denial.

But the rest? I don't even want to speculate. Sorry. I like to play with what we have, but not make up season 2 material.

Arcane Year 2 Event Week!

From November 7th to the 13th

#ArcaneYear2 / #ArcaneYearTwo

Let's celebrate Arcane on its second anniversary! All fanworks are welcome! In this special week, you have a choice of two themes, each with unique prompts.

What Could Have Been

Nov 7 : Faction Swap / First Time Nov 8 : Vander Lives / Broken Nov 9 : Hugs / Family / Grief Nov 10 : Food / Gift / Fix It Nov 11 : AU / Soulmate / Adoption Nov 12 : Nightmare / Kiss / Jealousy Nov 13 : Free Day / Goodbyes

What Could Yet Be

How does this work?

The "What could have been" prompts were chosen to fit fics or art (or meta, playlists, etc) set before or during season 1.

This includes ideas like "Heimerdinger used to travel the world before founding Piltover" set before canon, as well as missing scenes like "Viktor creating his hextech arm" during the time skip, or "Vi waking up in Stillwater".

The "What could yet be" prompts were chosen for speculation about season 2 and beyond.

This includes ideas like "my favourite LoL character definitely rocks into Zaun" or "Jinx frees Warwick" or "How Viktor becomes the Machine Herald"

You can mix and match! You can do one theme for day 1, the other for day 2... And on day 3 you could use the 'family' prompt to write a season 2 AU! Ultimately these prompts are to provide inspiration and a framework. I will not police submissions, so long as you respect the rules. Please read them well!

[arcanenewswatch]

Dear Arcane newswatch,

As an avid consumer of your daily press, I would like to know if the staff of this network are able to formulate a forecast for what we should be seeing in November. In a world of misinformation, this is the only source I trust,

Sincerely, the gentle laborer.

After much consideration, we here in the studio believe that there is a very high likelihood that season 2 will premiere on November 9th, as that would roughly align with the release date of season 1. That said, some of our staff also feel that November 2nd is a strong possibility, as it would align with the release week of season 1 (which premiered in the first week of November). Since November 2nd is both closer and would require us to count seven fewer days, we here at Arcane Newswatch are hoping that the 2nd does indeed prove to be the release date

In terms of the content of the new episodes, we are hesitant to dip too far into subjective speculation, but we feel it is fairly likely that Vi, Caitlyn, and Jinx will return in season 2

#arcane newswatch

[teambyler]

Stranger Things 5 speculation based on the episode titles and what we know from D&D

Vanishing of Holly Wheeler?

I already shared that I think Episode 2 is Holly Wheeler: "IF this information is accurate, I'm guessing the missing Wheeler is Holly. They have a new actress to play her. I think they're returning to s1 themes and the horror of a child being in danger is one thing they might get back to. The 1st episode would give them time to make her a character we care about. (And probably stabilize the situation at the end of s4.) It would also consume the entire Wheeler family into getting Holly back. Karen will be beside herself. Nancy will be tough and take charge. Will will have to unearth his memories of the Upside Down, and possibly use his connection, to help MIKE and NANCY get back their little sister. One possible road to BYLER is Will having to reexperience his trauma and possibly sacrifice himself to help his best friend."

Camazotz

I see a LOT of interest in episode 6 title "Escape from Camazotz"... I think for ANY speculation we HAVE to go to where our D&D nerds would go, which is the Dungeons & Dragons sourcebooks in the 80s. Camazotz was published in Deities & Demigods for Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (1980). It is the "bat god," so we're probably going to see it tied to the demobats.

We learn from Deities & Demigods that the Aztec and Mayan gods have "inscrutable motives"... which is ON BRAND for the Cthulhu inspirations of Stranger Things. These gods come from a "parallel universe." Clerics "are the elite of the populace," and are able to cast "commune or gate spells" to connect the planes together. ("Will the Wise" has been the cleric of the party... perhaps he is a cleric?)

Also, these gods "unusual nature makes it impossible for them to travel on any planes but the ones that they have worshipers on." Maybe Vecna needed to have a host on the "Right Side Up", to take form here, which is very consistent with the s2 and s3 plotlines.

The clerics perform human sacrifices... maybe another theme in s5??

But perhaps JUST as important, the adventure D&D module Hidden Shrine of Tomoachan (1980) involved an ancient temple dedicated to Camazotz. Odds are that our heroes will be trying to escape from a "temple" within the Upside Down. According to the Wikipedia article about this adventure, it is "full of tricks and traps".

As a "tournament module," meaning for competition purposes, and it was EXPECTED that heroes died in it because it was so deadly. The goal "is to get out of the ruins before time runs out." The lower levels (where the heroes begin) have a poisonous gas that slowly kill them. Also it is very unstable, spells will cause a collapse. If El were caught in it, it might be dangerous to use her powers.

This adventure debuted the gibbering mouther, a very distinct D&D monster that is VERY reminiscent of the s3 Flayer and would be VERY on-theme for Stranger Things:

The Sorcerer

Also, Episode 5 is titled "The Sorcerer." Sorcerer was not a class yet in D&D in the late 1980s. (The idea that Sorcerers have innate arcane power versus Wizards who study magic, was not invented yet until 2000.) Sorcerer was one of the many titles that Magic Users had (next to Wizard). Sorcerers had less power than Wizards. They were 9th level, while Wizards were 11th level:

It is already established that El is "the Wizard." Maybe there's another person with powers in season 5 which are less developed? If so, the most logical choice would be Will. It's confirmed that this season will focus on him. Although he's a "cleric" in their D&D game, maaaaybe he finds out he has new abilities. There was a reason Vecna didn't kill in season 1, and who has had "truesight" since.

That's what I can find for now! There's a lot of interesting traps and puzzles, with illustrations, from the adventure. But it's hard to predict what else (if anything) they might borrow from it! The aspect of escaping, and the poison gas and the timer, are probably what we can most rely on!

P.S. I mainly blog about Byler, but I thought my D&D knowledge would be useful for this one. If interested, follow and read my blog! I have so much to say!

Does Sevika Have What it Takes to Run Zaun?

The power vacuum in Zaun is sure to be a major source of conflict next season. There will be plenty of figures, both known and unknown, that will try to gain control of what's left of Silco's Shimmer empire and thus the center of Zaun's black market. Of all the candidates that could possibly replace Silco, one of the strongest contenders is Silco's right hand, Sevika. Sevika has many of the qualities that make her an excellent candidate to take Silco's place. Sevika is one of few key players that is trusted by the members of Silco's organization, brutally competent at her job, and genuinely believes in Zaun's independence. The real question is, can Sevika handle Silco's mantle?

Sevika has a lot going for her, but just as much against her, and one of her main problems is that she uses Jinx as a crutch for her shortcomings. When the Firelights destroyed the shipment of Shimmer that was supposed to go out on Progress Day, she laid the blame for the operation's failure squarely on Jinx. It's true that Jinx did injure at least one member of her team in friendly fire and failed to protect the cargo, but everyone else failed too, including Sevika. Not only were all of the crew easily ambushed, none of them had any countermeasures for a known enemy. One guy grabbed a harpoon gun and missed miserably with each shot. Jinx herself wouldn't have gotten involved if Sevika and the crew were better able to work proactively, maybe by investing in a net gun.

Worse still, Sevika claimed she could have handled the situation without Jinx, which is practically a lie. Without Jinx, the Shimmer would have been destroyed much faster, there would have been no one to delay the Firelights or take down 5 of the 8 that were present. But Sevika would rather use the situation to cast more focus on Jinx to undermine her position rather than manage the critical failure in defense that the rest of the team demonstrated under pressure. Silco even pointed this out, the audience was just more inclined to see his opinion as biased.

You can't let Jinx be the excuse for why everything goes wrong, all it does is make everyone zero-in on just Jinx's mistakes rather than take a few steps back to examine why things went wrong. If that actually happened, then someone might actually ask, "How did the did the Firelights know there'd be an important shipment going out on Progress Day?". Or "How did they know which ship they'd be using if they obscure any identifying information on the ship manifests?". And more importantly, "Is there a mole?". Instead, you get a team that drinks and parties after a real shitshow because their direct boss confirms that all their problems are just one person.

This all bleeds into another main issue of hers. Every time Sevika's in a confrontation, she thinks like an individual rather than a leader. The first time she fights Vi, she let's two of her underlings runaway rather than help her. When Vi comes back for round 2 with the same special hextech that caused so much mayhem at the Shimmer Refinery, Sevika tells the entire crew there to leave so they can go 1-v-1. Everytime something comes up, Sevika chooses not to delegate work or strategize with others around an obstacle, she'd rather take on the responsibility for problems like this by herself.

You could argue that Sevika was the only one capable of fending off Vi, especially with Sevika's new prosthetic's enhancements. But Sevika left no room for support in the background to at least distract Vi or give Sevika cover. If we go way back to the Cannery, Silco has to hold back Sevika from fighting Vi because he thought it was a better idea to use Deckard than do the same thing over again. And he was right! It was better to throw a Shimmer'ed up Deckard at Vi, and reserve Sevika when everyone else lost to Vi. If he hadn't Sevika wouldn't have saved him from the explosion.

If all this wasn't enough, the way Sevika is portrayed in terms of power, doesn't bode well for her potential as a leader. Plenty have pointed out that smoking is a symbol of power in Zaun, those with even a modicum of power smoke. What isn't always pointed out is how anyone who's interrupted smoking, inevitably loses power.

The first time it happened was with Vander, Marcus snatched his pipe and extinguished Vander's flame in his drink. The next episode Marcus' deal with Silco sealed the end of Vander's regime. A man on a smoke break at Silco's refinery (probably a manager) is immediately held at gunpoint by an enforcer part of the raid, where everyone caught was likely arrested and lost their jobs. Silco never actually lost his cigar, and so when he was killed, it wasn't politically motivated, it was an accident.

Curiously, Sevika and the Enforcers from the Progress Day attack actually smoke the same kind of cigarillos. These enforcers happen to be the only Piltovans we see smoke in the series, maybe because they're lower class or former Zaunites themselves. Unlike all the the other times, no one had to directly force them to stop smoking, Jinx made them drop it by simply terrifying them. And Jinx would go on to kill at least a score of enforcers including the Sheriff. Jinx likely threw the chain of command in disarray, doubly so if she killed at least 5 councilmen who the Sheriff would report to.

It makes for an interesting parallel when Vi first attacks Sevika and knocks out her symbol of power. In that scene Sevika managed to win her card game with Trump cards that heavily resembles Jinx and Viktor, but even when she wins, she still loses her cigarillo. All Vi needed to do was catch Sevika off guard and apply force, the same as the other enforcers (and even the Firelights). Later she'll let Finn light up her cigarillo while he affirms her strengths in Zaun.

By the finale, we see her after she's been beaten by Vi, Sevika chooses to go to Silco's office to smoke one of Silco's cigars while he'sgone, but she can't light it on her own. While this might foreshadow that she'll try to take Silco's place, Sevika struggles to light the cigar because if you notice in her hand is a lighter with a fancy "F" on it, Sevika's using Finn's lighter. Silco, Vander, and Finn all had their own matches and lighters. To light Silco's cigar, Sevika uses means by which she took from Finn, a man she just killed for an ill planned selfish gambit for power.

This alone wouldn't look too bad, because as I see it, in Zaun, it's not the act of smoking but the imagery of smoke itself that's associated with power, and you don't need to smoke to have smoke. Look at Jinx and Vi, both command considerable influence on the ongoing developments between the two cities and align with strong figures. Neither of the two smoke, instead they cover themselves in smokelike tattoos, Jinx's tattoos literally resembles the blue smoke of her first succesful bomb. In contrast to their predecessors both manage to embody their power more wholly onto their person in a way that's less vulnerable than the smoking tradition to usurpation. Sevika herself also wears smoke like patterns on her collar, which are less prominent or permanent than Jinx and Vi's tattoos.

Each issue alone is cause for concern in the viability of Sevika's potential leadership role, but altogether they create a solid line of doubt for if she can pull it off. To make it work she needs to shape up Silco's former crew because she can't be the only one pulling any weight. They're all going to face a conflict that will only grow more complex, demanding, and fast changing as time goes on. A situation like that prior to Jinx's rocket would have easily have incapacitated them, now it's all going to happen on a larger scale. Sevika needs to recognize what went right and wrong for Silco, Vander, and Finn.

Tldr: The chance for Sevika to be Zaun's new leader will be an uphill climb for her for sure. Her biggest problems is that she takes the lead rather than utilizing the team, she gets easily caught off guard, and Jinx can put blinders on her perspective. She's kind of like an older more seasoned Vi that never gave up on Zaun's independence warts and all.

Original post

People have very high expectations of Vi and nitpick her every decision while dismissing any mistakes the other characters make. I think it's a case of what I like to call the "protagonist's curse", where some viewers tend to dislike a main character because their mistakes are focused on the most and usually have the farthest reaching consequences. But at the end of the day, she's human like everyone else and still has an immense amount of growth to do. And making mistakes and learning from them is essential to that.

This is one of the few shows where I have full trust in the writers and the themes they want to portray. They've already done a great job at adapting the lore to create an incredibly nuanced story, and I believe they'll be able to do the same with the "Vi becoming an enforcer" arc.

Lol yes, if Vi steps out of line Ekko will be the one to tell her.

Thanks for the tags @idkwhatimdoingbutslay ! Love reading the comments.

[piltover-sharpshooter]

So the question people are asking now is 'What new champion will show up in Arcane season 2?!" and I actually leaning more towards the "Probably one or two or maybe even none". The showrunners have proven that largely they'll focus on a few character rather than spam us with champions, so most likely we'll see a new champ at best.

Currently Arcane has: Caitlyn, Vi, Jinx, Ekko, Jayce, Viktor, Heimerdinger, Singed and Warwick (In the form of Vander)

That leaves: Camille ,Ezreal, Orianna and Seraphine for Piltover. And: Blitzcrank, Dr.Mundo, Janna, Renata Glasc, Twitch, Urgot, Zac, Zeri and Ziggs(?) for Zaun.

Here are my guesses.

No chance: Dr. Mundo, Janna, Renata, Urgot ,Zac, Ziggs. Mundo's story of 'being turned into a weapon' will probably be filled by Vander so no use repeating it, Janna being a literal god would come out of nowhere to do a Deus Ex Machina so that's not happening, Renata was made after Silco was rejected as a champion idea so I doubt they'd add her to the story after it's been outlined, Urgot could stand a chance but Noxus has so little involment so far I doubt it, Zac same deal as Mundo but just being born a weapon, and Ziggs has no narrative reason to be there.

Maybe?: Ezreal ,Orianna, Twitch,Zeri. Ezreal's whole deal is exploring outside of the cities so narratively he has no reason to be there unless it's him leaving in the end, Orianna was probably teased as Singed daughter but we have to see if that goes anywhere, Twitch MIGHT be Huck but so far that's just speculation, and Zeri would fit with Ekko's group but the timeline of when she was created vs when the show was written might make it impossible.

My bets: Blitzcrank, Camille ,Seraphine. Blitzcrank being a creation of Viktor most likely means he's coming though I'm willing to bet it's going to be one of those little things they show in the end, Camille has a solid chance to become the Villain of season 2 being the contrast to Silco in season 1 and represent Piltovian oppression, and Seraphine's story about trying to connect the cities would fit neatly when it seems the cities are ramping up tensions.

Mind you this is all just me guessing, there are a number of factors that can change that, Popularity, if the Champion's story will change, how MUCH it'll change, maybe they are cameos, maybe they have a larger part to play, who can say.

Most likely Arcane season 2 will finish Piltover and Zaun's story before we move on to another area, and my hope is that if that's the case, in the end they show us glimpses of what everyone is up to.

Don’t mind me, just thinking about how Silco’s kiss is  going to be the last time Jinx gets any type of physical affection in a very long time.

It might even be the last time anyone touches her with gentility and love for a while.

And she probably won’t fully remember it either :’-)
