I went into the final act of Arcane season 2 with a knot in my stomach. I'd waited three years for this finale, only for the first couple reaction posts I saw after the last episode dropped to be variations on the theme of 'what was that?

Ambessa has declared war on Piltover after the betrayal of Caitlyn. At the end of act two, Warwick mauled Rictus, and Singed informed her that they couldn’t save the Noxian as his injuries were too severe. In response, she picks up Rictus’ iconic weapon to take out the Kaenic Rookern runes and wrap it around her arms to use later.

Arcane is based on the popular online game League of Legends, which was released by Riot Games in 2009. The Emmy Award-winning adaptation of the beloved game follows sisters Vi (voiced by Steinfeld) and Jinx (voiced by Purnell) as they find themselves on rival sides of a war between the utopian city Piltover and the undercity district Zaun.
