Set in the League of Legends universe, Arcane has captivated a massive fanbase since the beginning. The story of the animated television show revolves around two sisters, Vi and Jinx, who grew distant following a tragedy. The show also shares with the viewers the origin story of some popular League of Legends champions. All of these powerful characters make the experience worthwhile. However, one might wonder who the strongest characters in the Arcane TV show are. Well, here’s the answer.
10. Viktor
Despite having a terminal illness, Viktor is considered one of the strongest characters in Arcane —thanks to his genius mind. Since childhood, he has been looked down on by everyone around him, so he grew up as an introvert. However, after coming across Jayce and realizing what the young genius is up to, Viktor joins forces with him and helps him with the invention of Hextech.
So, along with Jayce, Viktor also becomes the reason for Piltover’s development. He is seen as one of the leading scientists who didn’t give up on Hextech until the inventions reached perfection.
In Season 2, Viktor merges with Hextech and becomes powerful enough to heal anyone by touching their forehead. For instance, he helps Huck to reach his healthiest state while the latter tries to loot him in the undercity of Zaun.
9. Sevika
Sevika has been extremely loyal to Silco and did everything possible for the criminal kingpin’s cause when he was alive. As Silco’s second-in-command, she was feared by every Zaunite. Initially, she saw Jinx as a worthless person in the criminal world.
However, after Silco’s demise, she bonds and joins hands with Jinx, and since then, she has helped the blue-haired troubled child fight potent opponents like Vi and Caitlyn. She is one of the strongest combatants who can fight even the toughest enemies with her Shimmer-infused arm (now replaced with a slot machine arm made by Jinx).
8. Silco
Silco was the criminal kingpin of Zaun who wanted to free the undercity from Piltover’s control. As a criminal boss, every Zaunite respected him out of fear. Following Vander’s demise in Season 1, Silco not only adopts Jinx but also takes possession of the former’s bar and transforms it into a night bar.
He was a brutal leader of Zaun who used his minions to fight at the forefront and carry out his ambitions. Moreover, his intelligent persona makes him one of the strongest characters in Arcane.
7. Caitlyn
Caitlyn belongs to one of the wealthiest families in Piltover, but she is still determined enough to make a name for herself rather than spend her life in the shadow of her parents. Her ambitions pushed her to join the Enforcers of Piltover at a very young age. Caitlyn is a skilled rifle user and proficient in observing even the minor details that the other enforcers usually miss.
After training with Ambessa, Caitlyn became physically strong enough to knock down someone like Vi. Besides that, she also fights and holds her ground against the insane Jinx occasionally despite knowing that the latter can go to any length to win a fight.
6. Ekko
Popular League of Legends champion Ekko is Jinx and Vi’s childhood friend. He eventually grows up as the leader of the street gang Firelights. He profoundly hated Silco and wanted to free Zaun from the criminal kingpin’s rule when he was alive.
Ekko could go beyond his limitations to fight Silco without thinking about the consequences. He is an incredible hoverboarder who uses the hoverboard while confronting his enemies.
His great reflexes help him dodge the attacks the enemies unleashed on him. Ekko is also a capable hand-to-hand combatant who can give his opponents a hard time. Like Jinx, he is an inventor who creates his own bombs and weapons to use in battles.
5. Jayce
Since childhood, Jayce has been mesmerized by magic, so he aspired to become an inventor since the start. He eventually made Piltover one of the most advanced cities in the world in terms of technology. At the start of the Arcane series, Jayce couldn’t grab much attention, but as the story progressed, we learned what the boy was capable of.
As the inventor of Hextech alongside Viktor, Jayce is one of the most worthy council members who can bring someone back from the verge of death. For instance — when Viktor was nearly killed in Jinx’s explosive attack, Jayce stored his body in a cocoon imbued with Hextech to keep him alive.
4. Ambessa
Ambessa, the mighty warlord, is the mother of Mel Medarda, who uses her manipulation skills on anyone to accomplish her goals. She is a woman whose self-confidence is on the next level, and she is someone who barely has any weaknesses. Her father raised her in harsh conditions that made her cold and ruthless.
Ambessa sees violence as the only option to secure her position in society. Despite being a mother of a deceased son and a daughter, she doesn’t have any compassion towards her, and that’s why she also maintains distance from Mel. Read about Ambessa’s true intentions for visiting Piltover right here.
Ambessa is also an excellent fighter who is proficient with a weapon similar to Katar. She mainly uses that weapon in battles, and her reflexes and agility help her eliminate enemies.
3. Vander
Vander adopted Vi and Jinx after the girls lost their parents in an uprising battle. He is a former boxer and a close companion of Silco, who once fought for Zaun against Piltover. However, crossing paths with the orphaned girls changed him to the core and pushed him to start a new life far away from any sort of violence.
The one who was feared by the Zaunites earlier somehow manages to earn everyone’s respect for becoming compassionate towards others. Vander was so incredibly strong that he was able to defeat a shimmer-infused monstrous boy in a one-to-one fight.
Note: Of course, Vander’s Warwick avatar is probably the most robust character in the series, but we are only considering the character’s human form for the ranking.
2. Jinx
Jinx was a naive girl when she was a child, but when she gets tragically separated from her sister Vi, she becomes mentally unstable. She went on a dark path from where no one can bring her back, not even her elder sister, whom she once loved dearly. Her unpredictable personality makes her a dangerous foe to anyone.
Getting raised by Silco, Jinx loses all her morals and starts seeing everyone as her enemy. After reuniting with Vi several years later, she denies returning to her when she finds that Vi and Caitlyn have grown close. Besides that, she doesn’t take a minute to shoot Silco after discovering the lie he has been telling her all her life.
1. Vi
Vi is a fearless character who is the favorite of most of the fandom because of her brave persona. She is a compassionate and loving person who can go to any extent to protect her loved ones. In Arcane Season 1, following the traumatizing end of Mylo, Claggor, and Vander, Vi ridicules Jinx, but she is captured by an Enforcer when she decides to go back to her sister.
Despite spending seven years in prison, Vi never forgets Jinx, and after getting released, her sister was the first one she wanted to meet. She was a potent fighter since the beginning, and that’s what we realized when she fought Deckard and his gang in Season 1. Following that, we have seen her fighting the most challenging foes, occasionally including the Enforcers and Jinx.
