Arcane Season 2 Ending Explained: The Fate Of Piltover & All Spinoff Setup - Arcane season 2 closes out the story that began in 2021 with a final arc filled with sacrifice, the end to the Piltover-Zaun war, major character reveals, and the set up of several League of Legends spin-offs. The ending of Arcane season 1 propelled the show into its final installment, bringing many major elements together in an epic finale. From the war between Piltover and Zaun, the other characters at play like Ambessa Medarda, the interpersonal connections of characters on both sides, and, arguably most importantly, the creation of Arcane's Hextech, season 2's finale concluded everything that season 1 set-up. The stage was set after Arcane season 2, episode 6's climactic cliffhanger: Jayce continues his plan to defend tomorrow from the curse he believes is Hextech, while Vi, Caitlyn, and Jinx - some of Arcane's League of Legends characters - reckon with the aftermath. As it turns out, another member of Arcane's cast of characters, Viktor, became the centerpiece of the conflict in season 2's ending, causing alliances to form while breaking others. As war loomed, Arcane ended by exploring Piltover's fate, that of the characters caught in the center of the show's war, and setting up several spin-off shows. Viktor became the center of Arcane season 2's conflict by the time of the show's ending. Viktor was shown as a biblical figure in Arcane season 2, Act II, leading a commune of Zaunites he had healed using his Hextech powers. After Jayce attempted to kill him, Viktor allied himself with Singed and Ambessa Medarda, allowing the former to combine his ailing body with the Shimmer-infused blood of the Warwick/Vander werewolf beast hybrid. In doing so, Viktor took on his final form, viewing the emotions of humanity as the source of its greatest good and equally great evil.
