However, as seen from Ambessa (Ellen Thomas) and Caitlyn’s determination in the newly-ignited conflict between Piltover and Zaun, the cost of Jinx’s attack was personal, casting doubt on the likelihood that their loved ones survived. Nevertheless, the brewing conflict will change the lives of many, as Ekko (Reed Shanon), Heimerdinger (Mick Wingart), and Sevika (Amirah Vann) can be seen taking a stand amid the chaos. While the tragic, emotional showdown between Jinx and Vi may bethe core conflict ofArcaneseason 2, the new season will also fullyexplore the breakdown and ultimate war between Piltover and Zaun.
