Since ancient times, the wind spirit Janna has guarded the region that later became Zaun, and always comes in times of need. Some of the inhabitants of the city became her followers, and after she prevented a catastrophe and saved thousands of lives, Jeanne became a real goddess. In the modern Lower City, there are a lot of her followers, and she herself still supports all the weak and downtrodden. The appearance of the goddess in the second season is an interesting twist and a welcome development for fans of this character.
9. Ziggs, Hexchatka Expert
Arcane has become the basis for a number of upcoming projects dedicated to revealing the yordle race, which are of increasing importance in the life of Runeterra. These magical spirits, which take the form of fluffy, short-eared creatures, also live in Piltover. Previously, Ziggs lived in the upper city, somehow gained recognition from the Academy, but subsequently moved to Zaun, where his hands are no longer bound by security restrictions. Loves to test his bombs Ziggs terrorizes the city and especially the Chembarons.
8. Blitzcrank, the Great Steam Golem
Considered almost indestructible, Blitzcrank - one of the steam golems, clearing Zaun of waste. But even his metal body and he was written off as defective. But there was a man who picked up a broken golem and began to work on it, improving with hextech. Arcane proved that this technology is able to revive, and Blitzcrank became almost a living being - he thinks and evolves on his own. His appearance in the second season is highly expected, because those who worked on the golem, improving it, were Victor.
7 Zack, Secret Weapon
The series shows that the inhabitants of Zaun live in extremely difficult conditions - the city is saturated with toxic materials, and their accumulation in a secluded place can suddenly turn out to be sentient. So appeared Zack is sentient slime from city pipes. For a long time he lived with the chemtech alchemists who became his parents and taught him to understand what was right and what was wrong. As they die, pursued by a Chembaron, Zak vows to continue the good work his parents started.
6. Darius, Hand of Noxus
Although the series is set in Piltover and Zaun, there are references to influence of Noxus and heroes appear from there - adviser Mel Medarda and her mother Ambessawho is one of the commanders. The second season is a great opportunity to show not only young Darius and the beginning of his career, but also his conflict with Singed. During this time, the mad chemist also works for Noxus, and with Darius, he has a personal history regarding the daughter of the future Noxian general. This could be the basis for a small side branch of the plot.
5. Orianna, Clockwork Lady
One of the strongest magicians, Orianna is a dangerous weapon in the hands of experienced players. Once she was an ordinary living girl, the daughter of an inventor and a master mechanic. During her only visit to Zaun after the accident, she became terminally ill, and her father began to replace parts of her body with mechanismstrying to save her daughter. In the mechanical body, Orianna continued to live, but her personality was fading away, as was her father's health.
Having received hextech crystal for a huge price, Orianna gave her living heart to her father and creator in order to save him in turn, and inserted a hextech one for herself. A second season could cover that story and part of Orianna's life before she becomes one of the wonders of Piltover.
4. Urgot, Dreadnought
Urgot could also become one of the plot branches of the second season, since Noxus was added to Arcane, and show their similarities to Piltover. Not so long ago Urgot was High Executor of Noxus, but was betrayed by the empire and exiled to the Pit - a mine near Zaun. Here he had to meet death, but he gained followers, much more power and his own territories.
3. Twitch, the Plague Rat
Some moments in Arcane can only be understood by fans of the League of Legends, familiar with the history of the characters. It is possible that Twitch's origin was shown at the beginning of the series. In one of the first episodes there is a scene where Singed experiments with Flicker and doses an ordinary ratlocked in a cage with a cat. The character's history states that he used to be an ordinary Zaun rat, but mutated over time.
Armed with a chemtech crossbow and bent on destroying humanity, Twitch could be a new character in Season XNUMX, especially given the premise of his introduction. In favor of the theory that it was Twitch that was shown, says the fact that those who took Flicker purple eyes - as well as the intelligent rat on the official art.
2. Camille, Steel Shadow
One of the most significant characters in the history of Piltover and Zaun, Camille is a heavily armed agent of House Ferros. Her body includes many hextech modifications, making her much stronger, more mobile and more resilient, and her legs are turned into huge blades. In addition, hextech prolongs her life - Camilla is about 80 years old. Arcane introduced fans to the Peacekeepers, who will now spend much more time in the Lower City due to the events in it.
Camille makes sure that Zaun doesn't get too strong and goes down there to deal with situations that could threaten Piltover. Many League of Legends fans pointed out that Camilla's absence from the first season was unfair - her job is to prevent the events that happened in it. Now she is one of the most anticipated characters in the sequel.
1. Warwick, Unleashed Wrath of Zaun
Warwick is one of the earliest champions of League of Legends and in 2017 he received a rework. Now his story tells that he was once a Zaun bandit who fell victim to Singed and turned into a chimera due to monstrous experiments on him. Now Warwick - a monster that hunts criminals and his body is riddled with tubes pumping chemicals that give him more power.
Arcane fans are sure that Warwick featured in the first three series, but in an unusual, human form. There are theories that Vi and Jinx's adoptive father, former gangster Vander, is Warwick before he was turned into a chemtek wolf. An episode from episode 9 speaks in favor of this, in which the hanging body of Vander is seen in Singed's laboratory. Another hint of this lies in Warwick's in-game phrases to Jinx ("You were there...let me forget") and Vi ("Who taught you to fight?").
The fate of Wander is interesting to many, and therefore fans expect him to appear in the second part of the series already in the guise of Warwick. Write in the comments how do you like the first season of Akane and which of the characters are you looking forward to next?
