Riot Games' new animated series Arcane just premiered on Netflix last Saturday, and the first act includes the show's first three episodes that introduced us to characters familiar to League of Legends players.
Through Arcane's first three episodes, nine League champions have appeared in the show - either as a main character or through a cameo. With six episodes left to go for Season 1, there's a good chance we'll see more champions in Arcane.
Here are the League champions that appeared in Arcane so far:
Vi
The first act of Arcane featured Vi's teenage years, and her story is going to be an integral part of the show's plot as Season 1 continues. Her relationship with her sister, Jinx, is a major part of her story, and fans want to know how their relationship will develop in the remaining episodes of the show's first season.
Jinx
Jinx plays an important role in the first three episodes of Arcane. The first act shows her formative years. She is known as "Powder" in her early years, and she's yet to transform into the chaotic legend who terrorizes Summoner's Rift in today's League of Legends.
Caitlyn
In the first three episodes of Arcane, a few scenes featured Caitlyn, but she hasn't become a Piltover Enforcer yet. Her family's origin in the city of Piltover is explored in the second episode, and it's likely we will see the character develop more in the remaining episodes of Season 1.
Jayce
The first act of Arcane features Jayce's backstory. The young inventor is seen experimenting with Hextech magic in Piltover. The episodes revealed his pursuit to combine technology, science, and magic.
Viktor
Years before Viktor became the half-machine legend many League players are familiar with, he was a simple person using the scientific discoveries in Piltover. Arcane introduced Viktor as the apprentice to Heimerdinger. He works alongside Jayce to discover Hextech magic.
Ryze
Ryze only appears for a few moments in the first act of Arcane. The Rune Mage shows up in a flashback to show Jayce's backstory, and in the flashback, Ryze is shown saving Jayce and his mother from a snowstorm by using his Realm Warp spell.
Ekko
Ekko appears as Jinx's childhood friend. The first act of Arcane lightly touches on his origin story. He is seen as an ally of Jinx and her friends, and it's likely that Ekko's story will continue to develop in the remaining episodes of Arcane Season 1.
Heimerdinger
In Arcane, Heimerdinger is a professor at Piltover's academy, and he also oversees the city's technological and social progress. He becomes a prominent character in Jayce's backstory.
Singed
In the first episode of Arcane, we get a look at the younger version of Singed, who's working closely with Silco, the show's villain.
The first three episodes of Arcane are now available to stream on Netflix. The next act will premiere on Saturday, Nov. 13. You can check out more details about the animated series here.
