How Powerful are Arcane Characters?

[@ALUMINOS]

the child Jayce murdered is the strongest character and here's why: this kid ate a blast from Jayce's ranged hammer attack, then fell like a hundred feet and landed directly on his back, AND STILL was alive for a few brief moments. if the height this kid fell from was any shorter he would have survived because it seemed like the hammer and the fall BARELY managed to kill him

[@jiazunwong6541]

The blast didn't even make him get shred through like how the Chem Guards died.

Nice work! I do think I'd swap some things as the only reason that Vi without gauntlets didn't beat Sevihka without sword was because Sevihka managed to thow Vi mentally off-balance and stab her during her confusion. I think these two should be considered pretty much on par. Although Vi as a kid probably should be in place where you put her

[@cloud9296]

But mental is part of being able to fight. Vi hasn't learned to control her emotions but sevika has, making her stronger in a fight

[@HevadeWe]

@@cloud9296 It matters, but this one only situationally. under different circumstances, that factor wouldn't have applied, or might have been reversed, so I'm not inclined to use when weighting these two (it's not like Sevihka is characterised as someone who pulls strings like that all the time so I don't consider that a part of her strenght)

About vi with gauntlets, when she was a Teen she also beat like 6 adults who were way bigger than her using Vander's "gauntlets". When attempting to save Vander from silco. So that shows how strong she was even without hextech

[@Illjwamh]

Pretty good list, though I think Vi is ranked a little low in both instances. I'd put her without gauntlets above Sevika*, seeing as she did win that fight, and I'd put her with gantlets above Jayce, since their weapons are comparable but she has more fight training, experience, and conditioning than he does. This means Vander would have to be up higher, too.

[@twentyonetortas5921]

A lot of people go "Vi only got stabbed from being distracted" or "Sevika would've killed Vi by crushing her neck" but can we talk about how: Vi without gauntlets still managed to land hard hits, cause bruises, have Sevika down on her knees or on the ground, throw her against walls (the concrete one btw), throw not just one but a series of punches whenever possible, and ALL THAT while Sevika had her metal Shimmer-fueled arm? Even against a weaponized arm that has a sword human Vi sure put up a good fight and dragged it out. And when Vi was in her teens, Sevika was already an adult so seeing a Vi in her 20s fighting well against a grown-ass woman already speaks volumes! Vi without gauntlets may be on the lower end but she is still a force to be reckoned with as a human. If this were based on no weapons, hextech, and Shimmer OR a comparison that doesn't include the first two, Vi would be at a higher place.

I think you did my girl Vi pretty dirty here. She beat Sevika in both fights and she would wipe the floor with Jayce if she had her gauntlets, she's just way better trained than he is. I'm actually a tiny bit triggered by the fact that Jayce is such a good fighter out of nowhere, like we've literally never seen him fight so much as a toddler and then suddenly he's holding his own with a bunch of superhuman shimmer goons? I can pretty easily overlook it because the scene is such a good time, but if I feel like being extra critical then I have to say that his ability does not feel earned in the slightest. And that's weird, considering that this show is generally very good at making a character's abilities feel earned. I also feel like we should take into consideration whether Vi's gauntlets can deflect bullets, which I wouldn't be surprised if they can (she does have the shield but I'm talking about the gauntlets themselves). We don't know that for sure so this is hypothetical, but if they can then that would skyrocket her up the rankings because suddenly all of the characters with ranged capabilities would have to deal with the possibility of her getting in their face and I don't think a single one of them could go toe to toe with her like that. She could snap basically all of them like twigs. Anyway, Vi supremacy. That's all.

The other is the planned fight, where you start at at least opposite sides of an arena, and you have all the prep time you need.

[@petertracycarroll]

Jayce is definitely the most underrated fighter he can be short range and long range while also being strong and nimble

[@Ralagathenovel]

5:39 he loses because he basically carries the rest of his team which have what are appropriately call “side character level power” And he goes up against tire ranked characters he usually multiple coupled with them and their lackies for this reason he loses however I would say he could solo because he did absolutely rock jinx the most unpredictable catastrophic character in the entire series Although she is very predictable is an outside view I do not much like jinx but for the sake of the show will see she’s unpredictable it is very difficult to deal with and he beat her

[@violetsgauntlets6795]

Personally, I think vi is so much higher on the list. She fighted so many people and won. When jinx used that machine to see how strong she was vi was still at the top which shows jinx/powder is weaker than teen vi. And teen vi was strong so think about how strong vi is now.

[@neelchaudhary8993]

That's because close combat was never jinx's thing

[@AsgUnlimited]

Pre gauntlet Vi > Pre Sword Sevika, Sevika did not win her fight based on combat, she lost, played defeated and only got a shot in because she was leveraging information she processed. Jayce would also body Ekko. He has a hex-tech, he can shield any damage Ekko could do and if he ever lands a single hit he will literally disintegrate Ekko. Top tiers look more like: Shimmer Jinx (with Fishbones) > Jayce > Gauntlet Vi (once she learns how to use her force field) The logic for Jinx > Ekko was also pretty bad, "recreating a play fight". He was dodging her bullets, what would have changed if she was fighting "for real" the bullets speed up? Sword Sevika is hard to tier, during her only fight Vi's mental is kaboom and she's putting up a worse performance than their first battle. Sword Sevika gets giga-clapped the moment Vi starts being sentient again.

[@corvus2146]

the first joke about the child was so out of pocket dude XD

[@Alex-vg2xs]

So, I just wanna say that Singed (while inventing weapons) isn't associated with anything specific. Most likely, any weapon he made would be unweildly for him, and shimmer might cause more damage (My backing for both of these points is that he's frail.) His axlotl thing isn't a weapon. Unless we're including living weapons here, (which nobody other than him has, being honest) I don't see him winning many fights. He'd probably be lower than Silco, on the sheer physical side, since Silco has at least gone against Vander, even if he lost. Also, I feel like Ekko and Vi should be put closer to/ if not above Jinx. Ekko is a ranged fighter, showing skill in evasion and hiding when he's with the firelights. HOWEVER, it is important to keep in mind that he grew up in the same place, at the same time as Vi and Jinx, so he could have evolved over time. It would also take immense strength to build a safe place like he did, and he took down Jinx in close combat, where she set off one of her grenades. Vi is a powerhouse. Jayce didn't want to fight her (when she had her gauntlets) because she was so strong. The only thing keeping her from fighting Jinx is her sympathy. Her sentiment and trauma are what's stopping her from doing anything drastic. Yes, Jinx is strong, but she lacks control. She shoots sparatically, and is interrupted/ disturbed by trauma/ flashbacks often. Her explosives would do damage to herself in close combat, and she would easily be stripped of her guns (Though, that doesn't matter, because Ekko can dodge BULLETS and Vi can block stuff with her gauntlets). Don't mind the typos, I don't feel like editing this.

[@artsyaubreyyy2767]

im laughing so hard rn at "the child that jace murdered." I CANT- XDDD

[@hackerkyle7387]

An okay list. But I think you missed out on including experience. Like Vi, she spent years in jail, who knows how many fights she had to do on the daily in there. And yes while pre shimmer Jinx is strong she's a glass cannon, she dodges hits but once taking a hit or two she goes down easy. Jayce I say just barely managed to hold his own but in a real prolonged fight there's no way he'd be able to keep up with the rest of the cast. But that's my thinking on it.

[@Nina-pd6bx]

I think,that Vi is very powerful,with and without the weapon.

[@empressrhagaea3338]

I believe Vi with gauntlets is much stronger than Jayce with hammer. Maybe it's cause I'm simping but it feels like Vi beats anyone she encounters lmao.

[@Justarandomreviwer]

Ok ok ok hot take time but I think Vander should have been higher on the list. Let’s review shall we From the very first moment of the show we see he’s a fighter. Beating an enforcer like it’s nothing. After that he decided that the fight wasn’t worth it all left with powder and Vi. From what the show shows and tells us Vander is the head of the underground, or “the hound of the underground” as he’s called in the show. He rebuilt it after the war with piltover. Now the under-city being the place that it is, their had to be people that didn’t like Vander and how he was running things, so we can assume that between when the show starts and the days before his death that he got into his fair share of fights with one or more members of the underground, which he clearly won. Now when we see Vander the days before he dies, he’s seen as a respected figure, being the leader and all. Not just for the reputation he’s built up protecting everyone, but for being the guy that you don’t want to mess with. Notice how everyone In the last drop is ready to fight with him, because they know that to do otherwise would result in nothing but a prime beat down. Now let’s talk about Vander Vs the shimmer monster. We have to take into account that at that point In the story Vander was far from his strongest. First off, the shimmer monster clearly roughed Vander up and gave him a few good punches when he was by Benzos shop while he was in cufs, then he got hit with an explosion to the front of his body, the sheer force must have done a bit of a number, then a roof fell on him, which must have hurt like the high heaven, THEN he somehow mustered the strength to PUSH THE ROOF OFF HIS BODY and give the shimmer monster a really good run for its money. And after the monster threw him to the ground, Vander got back up and was ready to fight again, by now you could see the monster was starting to wane, and lose his footing. I think that if silco didn’t come and stab him, Vander could have taken the monster. All of this, and we haven’t even mentioned that when he was fighting, we never once got to see him use his signature weapon, his cast iron gauntlets in the present day. Those are what he’s been fighting with for his adult life, and must have packed some punch. I mean did you see the way the ground shuck and cracked when he dropped them to take Vi and powder to safety? Those had to have hurt a lot more, and packed more of a punch then those little knuckle dusters he was using when fighting the monster. All of this being taken into account, I think Vander should have been put higher on the list. Somewhere around Ekko. All I’m saying is that you don’t get the name “the hound of the underground” for nothing.

[@iwillhaveorder4690]

When Ekko gets his Z Drive he'll be at the top

[@batrbmr]

The whole point of Arcane series was to show that real strength lies in pure heart; that it can never be beaten up; a pure hearted person is always victorious in the end; they always land the final victory blow. Thus, the pure hearted lil kid Jinx was, is and will be the most powerful character in Arcane.

[@purpleravioli7452]

I don't know... Based on Singed's reaction when Silco threatened him with a scalpel, I'd think he's not that much of a fighter to be onest. I'm sure he's got his gadgets for when he knows he's in trouble, but I bet you he'd rather relocate or something rather than fight. The closest thing to fighting I could see him do is poison people (or something along the lines) in advance, so he doesn't actually need to face them head on (as he most likely wouldn't win in such a fight by himself alone)... Anyway, like you said he could onestly be anywhere in the list.

[@Blackkray777]

In lore Singed takes on an entire country by himself, killed most of if not all of them frontline Ionian soldiers, he's the main villian for most of the Ionians champs lore. Might change in arcane but i doubt they would change the ionian - noxus war considering Mel's mom and all

When season 2 aires I eant to see where you would put post z drive ekko

[@herrscherkiller3432]

Here's my own ranking. First let's establish the rules: 1. I'll rank every character at full power with all the gear, tactics and powers they can use based on Arcane. So at 100% power since i'm an anime fan and having different variations of them seems useless for Arcane. They're instead good when there's much more difference between them like in Honkai (btw that game has a very good story) where Fu Hua for example (just story from another game, skip if you're not interested) ¥¥¥ was initially just a soldier enrolled in fire moth then became a mantis which was a huge improovement in power and she used 2 divine keys. In the current Era, she was still a mantis with 2 divine keys, but after the battle with Li Sushang she lost her immortality and mantis powers. After that she was Otto's pawn and was a lot weaker, but still had the 2 divine keys. In the battle against Sirin she sacrificed Fengwang's Dawn which was one of these divine keys and had only a few plumes + the other divine key, but Otto gave her a 4th gen battlesuit that was very strong. After she was killed by Otto, she used Fengwang' Down to turn into a shadow advising Kiana, Himeko, Bronya, then Otto healed her body and Senti was born out of it. After she got her body back from Senti she now has only the other divine key (Grips of Taixuan) and her martial arts. To inderstand the difference, let's compare her to someone like Rita, who's consistantly at the same power, even if she equips her strongest battlesuit. Rita without battlesuit was strongest than Fu Hua when she had the 4th gen battlesuit and Grips of Taixuan equiped. Her current version with only Grips of Taixuan and all the Fengwang down gone would lose as well but when she still had her mantis powers her power was so big that her fists would destroy a village, so she can demolish Rita even if she uses her strongest battlesuit. ¥¥¥ Here there really is a need to have different variations because in Fu Hua's case, how she's now in the story vs the 500 years ago Fu Hua are day and night different. But for Arcane the differences between variations are too little to matter 2. I will assume they can't get any help from other people and Ekko for example can't run home to take a new board of his gets broken. 3. I'll consider their direct combat capabilities. List: Viktor: As you've said, he can't do very much Himerdinger: He might be very powerfull, but his power and magic aren't releated to combat, and if you put him in face of the other character right here he's losing, even if he creates a weapon to use in a fight, he's just too weak to beat someone in a fight. Silco: i'm pretty sure he can kill Himerdinger Singed: He might have very strong weapon, but if you aren't a powerfull fighter you can't use them at their full potential. That is why he's still in the tier of can't fight characters, but because of his strong gear he's in the top. The blond guy that mutated into the big beast: He got beaten by kid Vi. At his full potential which is his beast form, he has a lot of strenght, but can't compete with other characters. He can even get kited or is out strenghted by others. Vender: 100% is the mutated version. A little stronger version or the previous mutant, but he still losses to the characters above him. I'll explain it in their reviews. Caitlynn: She can kite and poke characters with her range, but everyone who can kill her even with that is above her. About Vender: Caitlynn can poke him. He's not smart enought in this form to get to her before she shots him enought times for him to die. Sevihka: Her sword is OP, and she's smart enought to reduce distance between her and Caitlynn to finish her with her blade waves. To be above her you need more strenght or a way to counter her. About Vender: She can kill him in few slashes with her sword if she can stay alive for 2 minutes against him, and she could stay alive against Vi in the last episode. Vi: She with her gauntlets can overpower everyone below her, except for Vender, but: About Vender: She has a lot more than pure strenght, like the energy barrier she can create. So, she can beat even the mutated Vender because she can do more than punching the eny to death. She can't get kited by Caitlynn since Vi can have imense jumps. She did one in Arcane and her in game kit has 2 long range dashes. So it's obvious she can get in melee range very easily. Ekko: He doesn't have much strenght, but has a lot of ways to approach a fight differently than orhers. He can fly around his enemies and attack them while flying and they can't even react. And his crystal bombs are also something to consider. He can use them to keep his enemy incapacitated while preparing a fatal blow. About Vender: He kinda gets countered by Vender, because Ekko has not ways to kill him because he's too resistent. But Ekko's speed gives him a way to survive and maybe if he uses his brain he can win the fight by making Vender fall from a high place or something he wins. Jayce: He's physically strong and his hammer is huge, so he can beat someone like Sevihka in a melee fight, while having ranged attacks to beat someone stronger than him (about Vender) like Vender and in a ranged fight vs Caitlynn, the attacks from his hammer are a lot stronger than Caitlynn's bullets. Her better aiming skill gives her a small chance to win this fight thought. Jinx: Do i need to say something? She already beated up half of this list in Arcane. Her 100% power is after Singed gave her the vaccine. In this state she has: -competitive strenght, still not the best, but strong enought to fight Vi in Meele range by hiting her with the weapon until she gets some distange to shot her. -Enought speed to dodge attacks and beat week people like caitlynn and Ekko - The range to kite everyone who can't get in melee range. And even if they do, she can beat them with her weapon, just like how she did with Cupcake in the last episode. That was my list, i'm curious on your opinion.

[@seankeeley4345]

Dunno if I can be on board with Ekko and Jinx assessment. Really though, any given fight, it's not about the strength that decides who wins. In this show a lot of people are very similar in power. It's more about what drives the plot. Same goes for a lot of action movies. The person who wins is the one that makes the story more interesting, not who is more powerful.

[@LadyDoomsinger]

It's actually what I liked most about the fight scenes in Arcane - most of them were fairly evenly matched, one party not overwhelmingly stronger than the other - even if the plot demanded one of them to win, the other still got their fair share of punches in.

[@harshjha8681]

[@sandreid87]

Of all the things you could take away from Arcane, this is a very odd and ill defined... idea? What do you even mean by "powerful"? Their physical strenght? Their combat technique? Their cunning? Their "power level"? Also, saying Victor is weak, because he's physically weak, but then not applying the same logic to Caitlyn, Heimedinger, or worst of all, Singed - Just makes this list a 100% subjective, biased, and speculative, and 0% useful, sadly.

[@EylsRichEntity]

I find no sword-Sevika’s placement really weird since we saw no gauntlets Vi beat her in a fight in EP5. Yes, Vi had to be saved by Cait in the end, but Sevika had lost the fight until Vi was put completely off guard with very shocking news about her sister she hadn’t seen in 7 years. Like we said, this is a list of strength and I think the cheeky hit Sevika gets because of this extra factor doesn’t belong in the consideration. Overall, pretty good list. Seems reasonable to me.

Victor Both Singed and Heimerdinger are somewhere on the bottom of the list because while they can invent powerful weapons they aren't fighters, they aren't prepared to fight and will be completely crushed if unexpectedly attacked by anything above the Shimmerbeast. They need preparation time to win a fight, and the other characters don't. As for Jayce, he does have a lot of raw power yes, but his battle sense is nothing in comparison to Vi's and Jinx'es.
