LC's Arcana was one of the early ones and Valve was still experimenting on what they could do with the "new" Arcana category, but it certainly feels they had an "Arcana set" concept that they only explored and implemented in the later ones. LC's Arcana is made a 100x better with her red Immortal Cape (unlocked second style) and those two were definitely in that aforementioned "Arcana set". The dual blades combined with those wings "opening" when using Press the Attack is just...so freakin awesome! I almost don't play LC anymore, but that item combo is part of my mini-profile/profile display just because of how cool it looks.
The look of the SF arcana is a reference to his DOTA 1 model, he used fire lord model with muted colours there and when you poped a bkb you would see his original fire lord colours, his arcana in DOTA 2 is referencing this, i think.
This is sadly out of scope for these videos, but very early on Shadowfiend's visual design was reworked for reasons still unknown to me. His original look was this demonic dog-like skeleton creature. His chest was a hollow ribcage with a swarm of red souls churning inside. It was super good in my opinion and much better than the generic spiky nonsense that is his default look today. I don't know why it was taken away so long ago but I keep hoping Valve will bring it back as an arcana or persona like they did with Skeleton King.
I'm surprised no one said about that, but ES' arcana gives a LOT of info in hero's responses. (I think rare ones (constantly clicking the hero) gives the most info) I don't know if you checked all of the ES' responses with arcana, but if you didn't, you should I assume you already know that heroes and especially arcana responses are the biggest lore bombs, bigger than any item description
If enemies get hit by Echo Slam, their screen will have a cracking effect. Sadly it's only in 1st style, 2nd style doesn't keep this.

Earthshaker blue color is like a meteor flying through space and the alternative color is the meteor entering a planets atmosphere

My best guess is that it was a censorship issue with China due to their stigma with bones and spooky stuff

I did check his responses. It didn't really add any additional info to his lore, though.
Eyy my boi skywrath
Again, Wilson. I only came to say, god bless to you too :3c
:DDD
Have you thought on doing a Persona edition? Love your insights!
Perhaps. . . maybe I'll do a big video with all of them since there's only like 6 in the game
@@wilsonsticks well they do have a lot of sets for them. Maybe you can do sub ranking
@@thinhsuynhuoc Perhaps. I'll think about it. It's not very high on my list of video ideas though
PAR 4 DA COURSE!
I just noticed with SF arcana when hes on that river clip is that steam coming from the ground up? If it was true, then its a nice lil touch.
It is indeed steam!
How do you zoom around like that
@@lilart2246 There's a hotkey option in the settings to enter showcase mode. That's what I use for my footage
@@wilsonsticks ok thanks
Also the only thing I don't get about Dragonus' arcana is who the fuck builds Phylactery on Skywrath?

Wow
