With Arcane being hailed an unprecedented success in terms of video game adaptations and already set to receive a season 2, it has inevitably drawn a lot of people’s attention to League of Legends and the main game mode of Summoner’s Rift. Although already one of the most popular video games, the MOBA now has a unique draw for new and returning players, as it’s a way of feeling more involved in the universe that Arcane so effectively showed off.

While Arcane had its focus on the sibling relationship of Jinx and Vi, it subtly featured a variety of playable champions from the game. For players interested in seeing how their gameplay fits with the character in Arcane, or simply wanting a fun champion to try out, these are the best from the series.

Vi

Wielding the Atlas Gauntlets she received from Jayce in Arcane, Vi packs a powerful punch. The champion is well-suited to the jungle role, being very mobile and having great crowd control to boot. Vi’s dash and stun make her one of the best champions for ganking enemy laners, allowing her to quickly lock them down and secure kills for the team.

Vi also has decent carry potential, and her ultimate ability being an unmissable point-and-click makes her a good champion for newer players in the jungle. Just like the hardy Vi in Arcane, she can also be surprisingly tanky at times, passively gaining a shield after attacking enemies. Vi is a good well-rounded champion overall and a solid pick.

Heimerdinger

Any feelings of sympathy viewers felt for the eccentric yordle scientist ousted from the council by one of his most brilliant students may quickly vanish after having to deal with him in the Rift. Heimerdinger can be very difficult to play against, and that’s exactly what makes him a fun character to try out.

The version of Heimerdinger in League of Legends is a lot more dangerous than the younger Arcane version, employing remote-controlled turrets, throwing out grenades, and gleeful voice lines. Heimerdinger can be a difficult champion to get to grips with, as learning to utilize his turrets effectively can be a process of trial and error, but he is one of the most interesting specialist champions in the game.

Singed

Forming a mysterious figure of ambiguous allegiance in Arcane, the creepy Zaunite scientist is an equally unusual champion to play in League of Legends. Like Heimerdinger, Singed employs science-based weaponry rather than resorting to guns or brute force. In the case of Singed, the champion uses noxious chemicals to ensnare his enemies and gradually do damage with the poison cloud he leaves behind.

Usually played in the top lane, Singed is a great champion for players who like to move fast, as the character is built for running around and causing chaos. He is a difficult champion to master as a result of his unique playstyle, as many more standard champions will be able to lock him down and simply do more damage. However, Singed can be a very strong and satisfying champion when played right.

Warwick

While it has not been confirmed, whether or not Arcane’s Vander becomes Warwick is a topic of debate among fans. A strong jungle champion, it might be hard to believe that Warwick is supposedly a former human due to the brutal nature of his playstyle as well his monstrous appearance.

Warwick’s abilities allow him to sense when an enemy champion is low on health and follow their scent extremely quickly to finish them off. For players who like the idea of going between lanes and jumping on top of enemies before they can react, Warwick is a great champion to try out. Warwick also has a ton of healing built-in, allowing him to stay in fights a lot longer than other melee champions.

Jayce

Any viewer who can recall the scene in Arcane in which Vi and Jayce take on a bunch of wild shimmer-addled guards already knows most of what they need to know about playing Jayce. His hextech hammer can switch between its hammer and cannon form, allowing him to occupy the niche of being both a melee and ranged champion and choose between smashing his enemies up close or blasting them from far away.

This same concept may make him an intimidating prospect for newer players, as he essentially has two kits to get familiar with, whereas most characters have just one. Any player with a willingness to learn will be rewarded though, as Jayce is a strong contender in the top lane role in which he is usually played.

Teemo

Though only appearing in the show as a brief Easter egg for eagle-eyed viewers, Teemo is a great choice of champion to try out. Teemo has a reputation for being possibly the most annoying champion to play against in all of League of Legends. With his peppy boy scout attitude, Teemo is known for making life miserable for enemy champions.

The weapons the yordle uses include a poison dart that does damage and also blinds the champion it hits (meaning they can’t hit their attacks until it wears off) and invisible poison mushrooms that can cause an unsuspecting enemy untold pain if they happen to walk into the wrong bush. For players who don’t mind causing rage to their opponents, or even enjoy it, Teemo may be the ideal choice.

Ekko

Hailed as the best character in Arcane, Ekko is an extremely fun champion to try out, but a difficult one to master. In Arcane, Ekko’s greatest moment in combat is turning the clock back after seemingly getting hit by Jinx’s gun square in the chest, leaving him unscathed and allowing him the chance to charge at her and win the fight. Ekko’s gameplay can have similarly exciting moments, being centered around his ultimate ability, Chronobreak.

However, having the ability to turn back time can lead to overconfidence, and sometimes diving on opponents under their own tower assuming that his abilities will allow him to escape unharmed can lead to some embarrassing moments. Ekko is still a strong champion with a dash and a device that slows and damages enemies, making him an enjoyable pick in the jungle role.

Viktor

For Arcane viewers who haven’t yet delved into the world of League of Legends outside of the show, Viktor’s augmented steel-clad appearance may be surprising. The Zaunite idealist has already become an unrecognizable cyborg in the game, and he is a powerful mage that usually occupies the mid-lane role.

Viktor is a strong, well-rounded champion. He has a long-ranged laser to ensure he can always do damage from a distance and farm minions safely, a field that slows and stuns enemies, a shield, and a powerful ultimate ability that can easily make the difference in team fights. Viktor was one of the lesser-played champions in League of Legends until recently, possibly owing to his low mobility making him slightly vulnerable in his lane, but he has enjoyed a renaissance recently.

Caitlyn

Caitlyn is a strong choice in the ADC (Attack Damage Carry) role in the bottom lane with an extremely well-rounded kit. Caitlyn slightly outranges most other ADCs with her basic attacks, allowing her an all-important edge in the early period of the game. Her passive ability allows her to live up to her sharp-shooter reputation and get in empowered shots regularly.

She also has an even longer range projectile attack, a net that slows enemies and allows her to dash backward, traps that can root enemies and ensure a hit, and her ultimate ability is a long-range sniper shot that can allow her to execute low health enemies without them even seeing her. Caitlyn’s kit suits her personality well and is also relatively simple to pick up for a newer player looking to try her out.

Jinx

For players just looking for a fun champion with a chaotic personality, Jinx is the ideal character to take for a spin. Jinx in League of legends is the unleashed version of the character, switching between her favorite guns, Pow-Pow (the minigun) and Fishbones (the rocket launcher to wreak havoc on her enemies). It’s no wonder her character has already been confirmed for Riot’s mysterious Project L fighting game.

Jinx also has trap bombs she can throw out to stun enemies and do damage, making her a strong pick in the ADC role. Jinx’s ultimate ability makes her stand out, her “Super Mega Death Rocket” that, once fired, travels in a straight line across the map until it hits enemies and explodes. This allows the player to fire it from the bottom lane and kill an enemy on the opposite side of the map in the top lane. As a result, Jinx is one of the best champions to try in League and an extremely fun choice.
