Best Characters In Arcane Who Aren't League Champions

Key Takeaways

  • Sky’s death shapes Viktor, awakening him to the danger of his research.
  • Sevika is a badass fighter with a decent heart, showcasing leadership, loyalty, and willingness to protect others.
  • Isha, a traumatized girl, gives Jinx a new outlook on life, resembling a young Powder and bringing out the caring side of Jinx.

In my humble opinion, the characters of “Arcane” are nothing short of remarkable, each one bringing their unique charm and depth to the table. Among these exceptional individuals, I find myself particularly drawn to Silco. His journey from a man with noble intentions to a complex figure driven by love and ambition is both captivating and heartbreaking.


In the captivating series Arcane, while several memorable characters are adapted from League of Legends, the show also introduces a host of fascinating original characters. Each character offers something distinct, and unlike many League champions, not all possess the martial prowess that is traditionally associated with them.

In the captivating world of Arcane, some of the most compelling characters, who aren’t champions, hail from diverse origins and possess the power to move the storyline with equal intensity as the cherished champions.

Initially serving as a secondary figure, Sky – Viktor’s assistant – gained significant importance following her tragic demise at the hands of the Hex Core. Her selfless act to save Viktor led him to realize the peril inherent in his research, causing him to refocus his efforts on assisting others once more.

Sadly, Sky wasn’t acknowledged by Viktor during her lifetime, but her emotions and research, though initially ignored, ultimately bore fruit and continued through Viktor. In the second season, Sky reappears and serves as a part of Viktor’s subconscious during his visions, allowing viewers to catch a glimpse of what might have transpired between them.

5 Sevika

A Badass Fighter With A Decent Heart

In Arcane, Sevika isn’t currently a champion like those in League of Legends. However, considering her impressive fighting abilities, it seems plausible that she could join their ranks someday. Among all characters in the series, Sevika is undeniably one of the toughest and her battle scenes, enhanced by her two distinct mechanical arms, are particularly memorable. Notably, the second arm was crafted by Jinx during the mini-game “Jinx Fixes Everything”.

Apart from her combat skills, Sevika possesses several admirable traits such as leadership, loyalty, and kindness. In fact, she frequently sacrifices her own safety for the sake of others, refusing to let anyone else shoulder her burdens in a fight. At heart, she is genuinely compassionate.

4 Isha

A Traumatized Girl Who Gives Jinx A New Outlook On Life

Isha joins the cast of Season 2’s Arcane, and following the events in Act 2, she undeniably ranks among the top characters in the series. This silent girl, who may have been scarred by witnessing so much tragedy, surprisingly discovers a sense of family and affection when she encounters Jinx, and later Vi and Vander.

Following Jinx’s rescue, it appears Isha is eager to go above and beyond to safeguard her newly adopted mentor-like figure, often placing herself in potentially dangerous situations. A striking trait of Isha’s character is its similarity to a younger version of Powder in various aspects. Simultaneously, Isha seems to instill some of Powder’s essence into Jinx, who experiences positive transformation as a result of caring for someone else.

3 Vander

The Perfect Father Figure

Ever since I first encountered Vander in the premiere of Arcane, he’s been my go-to favorite character, and it’s no wonder why. His soothing voice, composed demeanor, and mature aura make him an absolute charm. Beyond being a father figure to Powder, Vi, Mylo, and Claggor, Vander serves as a guiding light for his entire community.

In any situation where someone requires support, Vander is always present. And when his family in the Undercity and his adopted children faced danger, he was prepared to take the fall for a crime he hadn’t committed. Vander’s history with Silco is particularly captivating because they once shared the same beliefs, but over time, their ideologies diverged significantly. The resurrection of Vander by Singed during Act 2 of Season 2 was both sorrowful and touching, as Vander continued to defend those he cherished despite these events.

2 Mel Medarda

A Great Leader Who Puts The Interests Of Piltover First

In a world where violence frequently appears to be the solution, Mel Medarda consistently advocates peace, particularly in contrast to her mother, the Noxian warlord and recently crowned League champion, Ambessa. Mel exhibits intelligence, political acumen, but refrains from seeking power.

In Season 1, she skillfully navigates the political landscape and envisions a prosperous future for Piltover under Jayce’s leadership, promoting him and the technology of Hextech to the forefront. This paves the way for a new era of technological advancement and trade in the City of Progress. However, as conflicts emerge, she recognizes the potential risks associated with Hextech and warns against it, even at the beginning of Season 2, choosing not to act rashly but instead exercising caution.

1 Silco

A Compelling Enemy Capable Of Love

In the Netflix series Arcane, Silco stands out as one of the most compelling characters. His influence in Season 1 was immense and lingers even into Season 2. Despite his questionable actions like releasing Shimmer into the undercity, Silco isn’t your run-of-the-mill villain.

He genuinely loved Jinx as a daughter, and as the Season 2 flashback revealed, all he did was try to fulfill the promise he and Vander made to Powder and Vi’s mother. Speaking of Vander, their relationship and history is one of the most intriguing, as they used to be brothers in arms and shared a dream of an independent Zaun. While Silco is not a champion and wouldn’t fit the mold, he was available as an Arcane character in Teamfight Tactics.
