I Wish But I Doubt It Would Be Really Hard To Reconcile That In The Unified Canon They Making, Like Would

I wish but I doubt… It would be really hard to reconcile that in the unified canon they making, like would this mean we have 2 viktors? Or will he get completely rewritten? That would be really confusing for people who are coming to the game from the show since the entire jayce/viktor plot would need a rewrite, and the whole reason they doing this is to bring in the show viewers.

Not to mention it was specifically marketed as "arcane inspired". Tho that wording is strange in it self…

babe wake up new viktor emote just dropped with his real orig design we may be free from a completely redesigned viktor vgu omggggggg....

Perhaps his arcane legendary gets the show look but we get an updated polished original vik for 2024 and beyond!

I knew this accusation will come!

No I didn't watched the le*ks, or got spoiled by them, I just like analyzing media and speak like im very sure of myself.

I don't know what you mean by focus on suffering.

The first time the imagery that people think is associated with the void shows up wayyyy before it even got in contact with shimmer.

The very first time it shows up is when arcane energize is fused with his blood. Which has nothing to do with the void.

Its blood and arcane energize combined, and its visual similarities to the void are only accidental.

Let's analyse the hexcore!

Its potential functions and powers, how it affect Viktor,

AND WHY IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE VOID

The hex cores abilities are a bit unclear, but I believe there's a clear progression of its corruption and a hint to how Viktor will use it. AND I SWEAR IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE VOID, shimmer didn't infect it. (This does not contain info from the le*ks in any form.)

Firstly the core does not influence Viktor, it is rather a vehicle for his obsession, his strange relationship to it began even before it consumed blood or even before it was built, he started seeing and hearing things after the council meeting. (I will talk about more why that happened and why at the moment in an analysis i make on him later.)

The weird purple flesh-like imagery begane before it even consumed shimmer, because it's not connected to the void, but it's what arcane magic looks like when it is contaminated with flesh. We can see this when the inside of his leg is shown.

Yes it already effected him in some way after the core absorbed his blood, as Heimer noticed he did become more energized, but most likely cuz its started attuning to him, jayce journal mentioned how crystals attuning to people but it isn't explained in detail.

Yes, the core started working more reliably on flesh after it got into contact with shimmer, but since the second time viktor tried to use it, it was not present. I believe what changed the core further was the consumption of more organic matter, not shimmer.

This is why it changed form the second time. The shimmer was only important as far as making viktors body malleable enough to get it working the first time. But that begs the question why it got more reactive and easier for it to change people?

I believe the answer to that is because, well it absorbed more of it, but secondly the writing on it got muddled, it is no longer programmable or bound by them like Viktor originally wanted it but works on its own accord. it is less controllable.

This is further supported by the fact that where it corrupts can not be bound by runes anymore, that's why his hand got changed not his chest, now it corrupts by contact and it became unstable enough that it does it with anything that contactach with it.

The only time the core actively does something to viktor is when he threatens it, and even now it only does it to his body. It began to have a mind of its own now, but beforehand it didn't show any signs of deliberately influencing him.

After skys death there's an odd shot of his leg, crackling with energie, I think that was foreshadowing of how he started to become attuned to the core enough to be able to channel some of his abilities and energie.

So I believe this is why Viktor was touching people in the trailer. Now it changes by contanc reather by being abel to restrict where it influences the body with runes. And now he is able to channel the cores power.

From this we can suspect that he will use the rod from his design to control the arcane energie already inside him, or to control the cores energie directly, because in itself it is uncontrollable.

And that's how he is going do lightning and possibly some magic.

Oh god, you have no idia...

little bit depressing how viktor not appearing in the trailer still makes ppl want to discuss him more than the first glimpses we've gotten of jayce involved with smth obviously out of pocket 😭 idk *I* get sad

Sometime Jayce tries to pick a fight with the wrong guy, and sometimes a certain ex partner needs to save this moran because it would be such a shame to let his brain go to waste.

Bonus points if u figure out who is kicking they as
