[@StekTM1]

Ambessa didn't care about Pilltover, she wanted to evolve the soldiers for her own beef in Noxus, this is why she agreed with helping Viktor.

[@lukaszzylik4437]

She just does whatever is necessary to protect her family. The ultimate "sin" that Ambessa did that started all the Noxus chain events was an affair. She would never have gone to Piltover if it wasn't for the Black Rose attacking her first.

[@Littlecowardgaming]

What i dont get however is that she sees how stupidly powerful Viktor is. There is no way she cant see why he is going to be a massive problem if he succeeds. As we see the moment he succeeds, he takes over all her soldiers and he would've done the same with her. Its one of my few major criticisms of the show. There was no scenario where she would've won if viktor got what he wanted. What part of him wanting to turn every human being into a robotic entity did she not understand would include herself and her family too?

[@pieminx400]

@@Littlecowardgaming the way I see it is she has no choice, she wants power to defeat the black rose, she couldn’t get her hands on hextech, she lost a lot of her army, her right hand man is dead, using viktor as a means for power with evolved soldiers and getting her hands on Warwick is her only option, other then leaving with nothing, worse off then when she arrived, plus I personally don’t think she fully understood viktor’s end goal and motivations, he was just another route to her own goal in her eyes

[@BuchMusikHybrid]

@@lukaszzylik4437 That is not true Ambessa's ambition started long before, she sacrificed her innocence to become one of the biggest Warlords in Noxus but started to hate the Mages, as they are the complete antithesis to her Core belief. She broke and trained her body and Soul , but Mages are born with their Talents. They never had to struggle like she did. So she was searching for ways to combat them, her affair with Mel's Father who we assume either was a mage or from a family of Mages was targeted. This also explains why she banished Mel to Hide her "Weapon".

​@@Littlecowardgaming funny thing is, it kinda isn't. The Ekko bit, maybe, but you could guess that from the trailer if you put together the first part. What surprises me is how many reactors didn't get what jinx was implying here. She was clearly suicidal throughout act 1 so what she did was no surprise after her state and words this episode.

[@akira___1680]

I feel like what people forget is that Ambessa came to Piltover to get weapons to defeat the Black Rose with, its why she tried to get access to Hex Tech weapons, and when she couldn't get Hex Tech, tried to get Warwick. And since the only way to get Warwick at this point was to work with Victor, then there wasn't much she could really do. If she left now, she would've lost a good chunk of her forces, plus her right-hand man, for literally nothing, and been in a worse position than she started with.

[@GewalfofWivia]

Desperation is the doorway to oblivion eh

[@notsosafeforwork3729]

Yeah, but damn was she relishing in the suffering of Piltover and Zaun, if her smiles throughout the war were any indication. Even though she started this whole thing out of necessity to protect her family, she definitely lost sympathy points for her warmongering nature. Silco, she is not.

I liked that in Jinx mind, Silco is her voice of calm reasoning because that's the kind of father figure he was to her.

[@Edge-mv3jw]

Viktor pulling up on Jayce and Mel like that was crazy. But watching the citizens get involved kinda displayed a veritable truth about war.

[@Ridiculous.]

Viktor understood the plot that Cait and Vi were doing the sex before hex which is why he was doing this thing lol

[@Shax22132]

I really liked the confrontation between Jinx and Caitlyn. Caitlyn admits that she's simply grown tired of hating Jinx, and she specifically says good deeds won't erase "our" crimes, acknowledging that also crossed lines in her hatred for Jinx and desire for revenge. I also appreciate how honest Jinx was with Caitlyn, admitting that it probably wouldn't have made a difference if she had known Caitlyn's mom was there during her attack, but also letting Caitlyn know that it wasn't personal. It doesn't excuse what Jinx did, and it doesn't make it right, but it's more than I thought Jinx would ever say to Caitlyn. It's telling that Ambessa rants to Mel about unfair mages are, while at the same time making a deal with Viktor to empower her soldiers and use his army of mage created automatons to fight. In the end, Ambessa cares about power for herself above all, even her family, and feels that she's come too far to give up now. As Mel said in an earlier episode, she's desperate. Which in no way excuses Ambessa's actions.

[@XiaoJinx-G6]

Mel just looks like a goddess in all that gold this entire Act.

[@kaylee4842]

I’m able to say it now since yall now got to this episode. Jayce said during the confrontation with Mel and Viktor, “My partner died in this room.” Well the people of Twitter decided to go back and look at Viktor during the bombing scene. The animators do an amazing job with micro expressions when someone is knocked unconscious but there was nothing for Viktor, the only time he ever reacted was when he got to the Hex core. There was also a freeze frame when Viktor and the Core were fusing and it showed Viks skeleton, his spine was severed in half at the pelvis. He was dead dead. What Jayce said was kind of true.

[@JoJoestar]

Jinx : I'm gonna go kms Vi : omg don- *literally lesbian sex in her jail cell with Cait* I was laughing my ass off lmao

[@Tpm12luv]

I fully support Vi eating her cupcake before going to war (This is an actual trope called the “Pre-Climax Climax” trope btw lol) Like Vi now believes she has just lost everyone once again like in S1. She does not know that Cait knew she would come down here. She does not know Caitlyn basically helped her break her sister out. For all she knows, not only did she just lose Jinx again, but she must be terrified that she just lost the woman she loves again. So when Caitlyn confirms that she knew what she was doing and actually helped her do it, letting go of her hatred of Jinx in favor of her love for Vi, of course Vi indulges herself and her desires for the first time in the series. Since like Vander said in Episode 7, "As good as it feels to pour everyone's drink, you need to fill your own cup every now and again" and Vi clearly has to think about herself for once and deserves to be happy like Jinx also told her, and if her eating the rich is how she gets to be happy so be it. And before anyone talks or complains about Vi not going after Jinx instantly after being freed. Firstly, Vi would not be able to do anything for Jinx or even be able to talk her out of what she plans on doing next episode, and seeing Vi right after she told her to stop chasing her and to finally be happy would literally just make things worse. Plus, it is a recurring theme of Vi’s failing to actually understand Jinx (A similar thing happened in the finale of S1 when Vi tried to help Jinx but actually just accelerated her mental breakdown). So, this is why Ekko was the one to help her since he has been shown to be able to get through to Jinx before, and narratively, it makes a lot more sense given where he came back from in Episode 7 and who he met/saw who Jinx could be. Secondly, every time Vi has tried going after or simply helping Jinx throughout the series, something always goes horribly wrong. Thirdly, neither Vi nor Cait knew what Jinx planned on doing once she left, and even the viewers weren’t shown until the next episode. Even the show says that “Breaking the Cycle" is walking away, not exploding yourself, so there was no need for them to go after her.

[@yurimaldonado4966]

Fun fact (also not really a spoiler): The "Rune Wars" the evil sorceress mentions to Mel is the same cataclysm Heimerdinger feared in season 1. Imagine normal ass humans gaining access to creative mode (the "wild magic" Jayce talks about with Ekko) and using it to nuke each other. Oceans drying, forests being petriffied, wind turning into lava, gravity tearing appart whole cities... Or tearing people's souls out of their body and shattering time like Viktor and Ekko 😂. Just a lot of fun stuff, overall great time to be alive

[@Bionickpunk]

Oceans drying: Shurima (and Noxus) Forest Petrifying: Demacia Wind turning into lava: Shurima Graviry tearing appart whole cities: Noxus Tearing peoples souls out: Blessed Isles (happens after the Rune Wars, but they stored those nukes at Magic UN).

[@keepwishin99]

the way sheera just casually exactly predicted the start of ep 9 😭

[@Banished-rx4ol]

Whilst this is the end so far for piltover and zaun’s story they’ve confirmed they have another show in the works that has already a year of work into it. The next places in runeterra(the planet this all takes place on) they’ll focus on are Noxus where mel and her family comes from as well as where she is currently headed, Ionia which is very asia inspired and where all the animal people called vastayans come from, and demacia very medieval europe inspired full of dragons, knights, and mages

[@milkiassamuel780]

I love how even despite Vi being in an incredibly mentally traumatic situation where she lost so much in face of impending doom from Ambessa and Viktor's army, Vi and Caitlyn still find time to get down a dirty in a jail cell 😂😏 Fun Fact: I'm pretty sure that white puppet creature that attacked both Jayce and Mel was the same dude with he glasses that became a Shimmer junkie and then a follower of Viktor's Glorious Evolution and now has become a soulless member of Viktor's army. It you look closely at the metallic pattern on the creature you see the same pattern on the guy. It's truly crazy to think how much this dude has fallen ever since Season 1

[@flowy3422]

If you were more familiar with the game's lore, tales, etc, Noxus actually has more terrifying things than these puppets at face value, thats implicitly why Ambessa's not even fazed or hesitant. Its been a hot minute since Noxus works with crazy shit.

[@ChallengerInter]

If you guys were confused or anything, the mysterious shadow who captured Mel is another one of the characters in-game, otherwise known as "Leblanc". She's not physically in piltover but she can possess people and create illusions. So the one who gave her the necklace, was not her or an actual being, just a shadow. Elora and Amara, however, she actually possessed. Just goes to show how much beef she got with Ambessa, she spent her time creating illusions and possessing people just to mess with her lol

[@jaylenharris343]

Makes sense that Sevika and Zaun walked away. You can't expect them to unite after years of fighting each other.

[@T.Ydre_]

20:25 the reason it doesn’t scare ambessa is because she been fighting black rose mages for years so she probably seen just as crazy that why she want to get rid of black rose it defeats the purpose of being equal on the battlefield, no one without magic can beat someone with magic

[@mr.maverick8917]

So i think what happened with Sky is the hexcore absorbed her and destroyed her body. With Vander, Singed basically resurrected him as the beast, which is why Victor was able for a short time to bring him back by basically untangling Vander's memories from the wolves.

[@_Chaosnight_]

Tbh this is still Jayce's fuck up, he made Viktor into this in the first place, instead of letting him die and destroy the Hexcore, Jayce used it to "heal" Viktor agaisnt his wishes, which got him corrupted to begin with And then when Viktor became the Herald, Jayce just tried to kill him without even trying to convince him to stop, Jayce's attempt to try and kill Viktor pushed Viktor over the edge, an edge he probably wouldn't have crossed by himself without reason The only reason why things are going the way their going is because Jayce tried to stop it without knowing what he's actually doing, the attempt to prevent what he saw is what lead to it even happening, a self forfilling prophecy

[@TheWinterPhoenix]

So at the end there Sheera is right. Yordles, the race Heimerdinger is, are immortal. They live forever and when they die they respawn in the Yordle home known as Bandle City.

[@rebornjm]

you are correct the 1st girl the illusionist showed was the one Ambessa killed, the black figure had familiar face tattoos of a LOL champ that of Leblanc's, even the little tie up ability they were using on Mel at the beginning but idk if was her or some other character they have yet to show maybe in a future project 17:06 also while it seemed your sister isnt in a good place, also Sky was there if you remember she was absorbed by the core so it made sense that she would be there for real its just she didnt like the direction that Viktor is going
