Her fighting pantheon is a symbol of how every time she went to face war it broke a piece of her until her innocence was lost, and that she could have become like them if she sacrificed her children and only pursued it
@@Shenningtatum have you watched the actual video, or are you just talking about this short? She fought a tall shirtless man wearing a helmet that has a long spear and a large metal shield. It's Pantheon, or at least his body.
@IOLEVIOI this is proof you watched the video but have absolutely 0 intelligence to the lore, to the skin, what's happening in the video, or just about anything that happened with ambessa. But don't worry my foolish friend I shall enlighten you! That was NOT pantheon. The champion the skin belongs to is pantheon but all of the chosen of the wolf skins (which are Canon btw) are warriors picked by kindred to use as forms for the wolf, hence chosen of the wolf. The battle was of wolf embodying the spearmen warrior. Ambessa was being chosen by the wolf as a warrior. If you read the skin descriptions you will see. This is a Canon cinematic portraying a vision she had. I recommend watching the necrit video it will help you understand! Good luck on your adventures
I see her giving up the lamb as a sign: her accepting that she’ll never “die peacefully in her sleep”, that her death will be bloody as is her life now. Fighting tooth and nail.
I believe the lamb is her daughter Mel. There's a very clear visual of a baby inside of a womb opening its eyes toward the end of the video, when Ambessa is in the armor. Ambessa looks doubtful and hesitant to me, then the baby opens its eyes and she's no longer in the armor, she's on the battlefield watching Wolf walk away.
she is pregnant to mel, which she holds her like a baby, in a lamb form. She sacrifices mel and turns her into something powerful, yet we dont know. After the sacrifice the 3 principles of noxus accepts her, as the 4th principle, the sacrifice. as she says, she has nothing in her body other than blood sweat and tears, no emotions, no place for feelings of a mom. Desert ambessa is the mom that's dying inside of her. Only way kinred lets her live and see the throne is sacrifice, which she does. This music video is probably an early work for a noxus series, and also supports the story of mel and Leblanc.
The lamb is definitely the baby being sacrificed. I also believe it’s her innocence but the way she cradles it before they shred it to pieces makes me believe it’s the unborn child. I think she participated in Kino’s faith
Could be Mel’s. In the game she called Kino a fool. She wouldn’t if she sacrificed his life. She’s very protective of Mel, even sent her to Piltover. I’m not sureee
Yeah, I’m not so sure about this one. She noticeably cares too much about Kino to have _participated_ in his death. She calls him a fool, yes, but she still loves him as her son. Actually, she may have viewed him as a better heir to the throne than Mel because she didn’t exile him but did exile Mel. I believe there are two possible interpretations of the lamb sacrifice. One, which is pretty basic, is that she realized she had to cast away her innocence and softness to survive and the statue of the child holding the lamb is a vision of her past, so she’s crying for the parts of her that she had to give up to get here. It kind of works with some predictions for what might happen in s2, with Jinx probably having to give up many parts of herself to survive the coming war. My personal favorite interpretation, though, is that she is giving up her innocence and softness with the lamb sacrifice, but the child holding the lamb is either Kino or Mel. She gave up the lamb and what it represents, but it is passed on to her children. Ambessa’s tears are not mourning the past, but mourning the innocence of her future children. She already has a scene where she mourns her own lamb when she is screaming at the sky. Kino and Mel are both very soft snd innocent and naïve compared to her, and still are even in adulthood.
good point but we saw the baby in the womb getting the li golden glow ? and it didnt look harmed ? not to mention she pulled the arrow mainly from the side of her belly not rlly in a position it would harm the baby ? but then again idk i do think mel had a brother that died or sumn shi
@ I think it’s Mel. In the beginning, the wolf also had gold glowy eyes. Then the baby after ambessa signed or accepted the contract… the glowy eyes could mean she’s been marked. ;-;
The lamb is a symbol of her innocence and accepting corruption fighting the aspect of war was a test to prove she deserves to live shes literally fighting for her right to live ans when proven worthy shes gifted life by kindred
One thing to note is that she never beats the warrior she actually doesnt fight him again after her power up. the thing that makes her worthy is either her sacrifice of the lamb or her refusing to give up or maybe both. the second would actually make her more in line with pantheons lore which ended with the aspect consuming him and taking control
Not the aspect of war... but the wolf. The skin line is Chosen of the Wolf, and they are all people who have faced the Wolf in this metaphysical battle, and proven themselves worthy as devotees of The Wolf. The figure that offers Ambessa the crystal is the Noxian appearance of The Lamb, who doesn't offer quick death to Noxians, but offers them the glory of the Wolf. Sacrificing the lamb in the flashback is, in my opinion, when she had to give up her peaceful life in Shurima to become a Noxian warrior.
this music video serves to promote a new skin line, some of these scenes didn't actually happen in canon, like the fight with pantheon where swain and katarina are in the background ambessa is very most likely not going to become the aspect of war, but rather conquer war in becoming a warlord of noxus
The aspect is dead now so she's not a host, but this is in the past so it can be before the aspect died and she had an encounter with him, granting her his blessing for fighting
How I interpret the music video: In a near death state, it seems Ambessa's consciousness went to a type of Noxian mythos "Valhalla" (realm of honorably fallen warriors, from the past, present, and possible future), was tested, and was proven worthy of joining the pantheon of "Wolf's Chosen" in the afterlife. But then her unborn child, which appears to have magical powers, was able to subconsciously use its magic to resuscitate Ambessa and brought her back from her near death state / "Valhalla".
The wolf (death) gave her a chance to prove herself. Also pantheon is not noxian. Everything but who she fights in this "Valhalla" is canon. The lamb signifies a peaceful death, and only when she discards it completely does the wolf take her in as her avatar. Lamb and wolf is kindred. The lamb signifies a peaceful fast death by arrow, while the wolf chases u constantly until you cant fight anymore and die a brutal death. It wasnt the child who brought her back, it was kindred, more precisely, the "wolf". That's why shes blessed and probably why she survived Warwick's attack with only a scratch in her mask
her fighting panth is just riot tryna market their skin BUT also pantheon is the emobdiment of the wolf u can see evidence of this if u pay attention to his sheild and also as he backs off her accepting the token of the wolf from the lamb is signaling her giving up her peaceful life she used to have also the shine of the gold on her mask at the end is a symbol that mel might survive/have the same experience.also the reason why we see wolf first instead of lamb is because of how death is seen in noxus
This maybe a dumb theory but I think Mel is an ascended and I just really want to push the Pantheon narrative to make it make sense, not just it being part of the new skinline lol. I think Ambessa there is at the foot of Mount Targon. You can see that on the ground there was an impact and she probably fell from the sky. There are noxian weapons everywhere but there also seems to be a single Targonian/ Solari/ Lunari weapon that is sticking to a noxian soldier at the end of the video. Might be that the baby/ Mel was also chosen to become an ascended like Pantheon or it was Ambessa herself (but it's most likely Mel since she seems to be super powerful + the gold ascent on her design fits well for an ascended). Might be that they tried to climb Mount Targon but other Noxians ambushed them for whatever reason. Just my two cents, I don't know if this make sense lol.
it actually does since we see the ascent in tge video, where she accepts the wolf symbol and possibly tge aspect of war it honestly makes sense since tgey really lean into godly themes in season 2 with janna, victor and mel's impossible survival
No ambessa won't be the next aspect of because the aspect of war is dead almost a thousand years ago before ambessa was even born. The only reason why atreus/pantheon was still alive and very strong because the remnant powers of the aspect of war is still inside atreus/pantheon.
@nyfiq kindred is literally death personified, the one and only death. Every other incarnation mythos of death in the lore is simply kindred as well under diffrent from depending on how the mortals view kindred in that region

@@jalilas-siddiq1768 exactly, there are other enbodiments of death but they are getting forgotten or (as the one of the shivering isles) left without a purpose
An ambitious warlord who sacrifices her peaceful life and her son to sire another child in the hope of creating a weapon to combat the threat of the Black Rose.
No knowing much about LoL lore. However, this music video made me feel that for power, she will sacrifice her kids. I think the lamb represented the child she was pregnant with. So I feel maybe she kind of went back on her deal?
She was tested by Shurima, and Mnt. Targon and finally Kindred. One by heart, one by body, and finally soul… blood sweat and tears. She was completed all trails to become an ascendant being but gave it all up when she realized her child was still alive. To quote “ You have _NO_ idea what family means to me!!! She literally threw away godhood so that her child could be borne. Hence the line “You weakened me.” At least that’s my interpretation of it.
Shes basically sacrificing her innocence of a lamb to become a wolf, not realizing it is actually the baby shes currently pregnant with (mel)that is the real wolf
The Aspect of War itself was killed by Aatrox. It’s not around anymore to reside in anyone. If you want to understand this more, you should check out Necrit or other League Lore creators. This cinematic is showing Ambessa’s fight with death (or the wolf as it represents the fight for your life contrasted by the lamb’s peaceful death) and how she rises as an instrument of the wolf and one of its chosen warriors. It’s unclear if the Pantheon we see is the Aspect of War or Atrius, but its function in the cinematic is that of a trial giver. He tests Ambessa and hardens her to the point that she can be a “Wolf’s Chosen.”
Hopefully Riot doesn't retcon the aspect of war dieing. I really want a series based around Targon, aspects, and everything surrounding it. It would be so cool seeing Pantheon in a way similar to Arcane.
Her going toe to toe with pantheon is the scariest thing I’ve seen her do ong like I see a pantheon player in league and I’m GONE other side of the map because NO
The middle was pantheon the girl with two blades are katarina and the one with red left hand with big cape is swain. I hope riot make three of them as a skin
I think its proof she aint dead in Arcane seeing as Kindred is a manifestation of Death and could seemingly bring her back from death here. Plus grey hair here and in the game vs brown in the show might suggest she is the aspect of war/chosen of the wolf/ whatever back from the dead shenanigans that means, in the future of the show. Interesting Swain is also here given the next series too
They did Amessa's release skin so dirty. It looks terrible compared to the music video. The same can be said for some of the others too (and Kindred deserved the prestige, or at least a skin that resembled what they looked like on the video)
From the way it played out in the first act of season 2, I feel fairly sure that she already IS and HAS BEEN the aspect of war. Who is now grooming Caitlyn to be the new host.
She did not fight the Aspect if War, because it is already fully dead, wiped from the stars, she is fighting our Pantheon, Atreus, since his lore involves overcoming death after aatrox impaled pantheon, allowing atreus to take back his body, he is also accompanied by swain, who was dying on the floor of the placidium after irelia sliced off his arm, until a raven came down to feed off him, he saw in its eyes a reflection of the black rose, as he then makes a deal with the demon Raum, which allowed him to survive, and katarina is there due to her multiple near death experience and assasination attempts
Lambs are usually seen as a symbol of innocence. Thats why, unfortunately, many were sacrificed back in the day to whatever god they deemed worthy enough. Kind of like when people would sacrifice virgins, its because the young/pure are innocent. So shes definitely givint up her innocence for the life of a blood soaked warrior.
This video is filled with missinformation. -Kindred is death, not an aspect. Aspects are very different and well fleshed-out concepts in lore -Embessa is not fighting Pantheon, or the aspect of war, or Atreus. That is a follower of the wolf. -The followers of the wolf are very clearly Noxian, aspects are from Targon. Please do not post misinformation
-I'm not using aspect in the league lore sense, although I understand how the verbiage is confusing based on the context. Kindred is the aspect of death in the literal sense, they represents death. Peaceful acceptance or kicking and screaming. Aspect means "a certain way in which something appears or may be regarded" - Ambessa* is literally fighting pantheon. I get what you're saying, and you're right that after I made the video they specified they are the followers of wolf and not the aspects of war, but that is obviously pantheon its the skin they made for him. Come on now. - I never specified otherwise. I think technically aspects can choose any host but you are correct in that so far they have only chosen targonians. Maybe there is a link there, but its not clarified within the lore
@@flowchartkenYT its not the aspect of war shes interacting with. the aspect of war is dead, thats panths story. atreus (human panth) lived aatrox's blade through his chest but the aspect died. she is indeed fighting pantheon tho, thats true. in this case, its a combination of promoting the skinline, and pantheon acting or being a representation of the wolf. kindred is seen how u believe it to be. noxians almost always see the wolf, and its not far fetched that the wolf could take the shape of a warrior. so no lore wise shes not fighting pantheon, shes fighting dead itself, wolf (and wolf is portrayed as panth / warrior dude. but no, shes not becoming host of the aspect, because the aspect is dead. the other 2 are swain and katarina, other skins they want to sell. the music video is dope, but visually not fully cannon so to say. its more a representation of other things. ambessa is pretty much fighting off death itself (the kindred) and sacrifices her "lamb" (theorized to be her child as she was pregnant in the vid) to live another day. its very vague, and abstract, hard to interpret, but thats also the beauty of it, everyone is seeing so many different things, and that is intentional.
It's not the aspect of war. It's the aspect of death. They are chosen by the wolf. The incarnation of violent death. And lamb is the incarnation of the peaceful death.
idk league lore but I thought the guy she was fighting was Swain (bird guy who shows up a couple times at the end of arcane) cause he has the long white hair they made a point of showing, and Swain is definitely going to be in future series
It's more likely that she becomes somekind of aspect of the kindred, because...the aspect of the war was killed by aatrox and lately atreus becomes the new one, or maybe atreus became the true god and made her his aspect
The Aspect of War is dead. A well known event happened where Aatrox stabbed Atreus so hard that the Aspect of War died (his constellation disappeared), hence why he’s called the “Godkiller”.
Pretty sure it’s metaphorical. Not everything is to be taken literal. Lol. She’s faced with death and fights for her life. She gives up on peace and accepts war, transformed by this decision into the Ambessa that we see on Arcane.
….. didn’t pantheons lore specifically say that Attrox killed the very god of war when he first killed pantheon. His hole thing is he’s using the remaining power of the aspect through sheer human will power
WAIT. Ok hear me out. I’ve never played league so what I’m saying might be stupid in some way but remember when she’s training cait and she says that she discovered a new rule of war which is ‘sacrifice.’ Maybe she’s representing that somehow in the music video. Especially with the lamb.
Might the lamb be her child? To protect it she has to become stronger but by becoming a warlord her position as a mother to her child is kinda sacrificed? Since she seemed pregnant in the music video
lol me too, i figured out some stuff from reading the comments on the music video but theres clearly so many different characters and concepts that i have no idea of😭 itd be cool if someone made a video explaining things for ppl who only watched arcane and know nothing about LoL
@@brickguts your welcome :-) He does this for all league related Videos and announcements, truly one of a kind knowing the history and lore of league :-D
Isn’t the previous aspect of war dead? Like wasn’t he wiped from existence because of aatrox and Atreus just took over as the new aspect of war in general?
Kinda, the aspect itself is dead dead, and Pantheon still has embers of celestial power cuz the aspect "body" died inside of him and he can tap into it by using pure willforce. Idk if the celestials would appoint another "Legal" aspect of war... But who knows...
@@verdadlumin7423Viego's magic had brough the constellation of Pantheon back into the sky, so Pantheon (The Aspect, not Atreus, his last host) is alive technically. But yeah I'm unsure if another host will be a good idea.
The Lamb was her giving up her children. They even focus in on her embryo. That had to be her son, and not her daughter unless she already had a baby which I doubt.
The aspect of War is gone... It died by Aatrox's sword. Atreus himself turned into a new aspect of War, for his force of will rekindled the arms of War when he swore to fight against any godlike power that was raised against humanity.
Without any context as to what you're talking about in this video, and only having watch Arcane, this made absolutely no sense. I just hear a bunch of Greek related words and Kratos's Son
there's a reason the lamb is the warrior offering the gift ! and the wolf is the scavenger! the Lambs enlightenment free of limits free of death! but the wolf serves as his hunger never ends! soo many ancient drawing paint lambs and wolves we see the hunger and passion in the wolves eyes , and almost always the lamb is a peace , acceptance maybe the true power after all , true enlightenment has no need for hunger!
the aspect of war is dead, killed by aatrox. if anything its pantheon that is slowly becoming a new kind of enbodiment of war. The only way -atleast as beeing shown so far- for the aspect to return is if pantheon gets infected by black mist as it revives the aspect in its former host.
Her fighting pantheon is a symbol of how every time she went to face war it broke a piece of her until her innocence was lost, and that she could have become like them if she sacrificed her children and only pursued it

Obviously, yes. Mel is the wolf
wolf and lamb are actually fucking wolf and deadass lamb but from noxus just like the spirit blossom version
all the tiny details are honestly so perfect, it's so fun looking for all the tiny little things they've put in
It’s Swain and Katarina behind Pantheon. New skin line
The lamb is definitely the baby being sacrificed. I also believe it’s her innocence but the way she cradles it before they shred it to pieces makes me believe it’s the unborn child. I think she participated in Kino’s faith

Yea i think it's a prequel before the Mantheon we know.
Hell it might be the host that in ASol's story that he 'accidentally' nuked.
it could also just be a metaphar for fighting against war in the hope of having a life beyond war.

I wish we got more screen time and more of her backstory .I love Ambessa .
I find it interesting that they didn’t add this into the show since a reveals important characters even potentially being in the Noxus show.
Pantheon, the God, died.
Atreus, the Man, lives.

The Aspect of War itself was killed by Aatrox. It’s not around anymore to reside in anyone. If you want to understand this more, you should check out Necrit or other League Lore creators. This cinematic is showing Ambessa’s fight with death (or the wolf as it represents the fight for your life contrasted by the lamb’s peaceful death) and how she rises as an instrument of the wolf and one of its chosen warriors. It’s unclear if the Pantheon we see is the Aspect of War or Atrius, but its function in the cinematic is that of a trial giver. He tests Ambessa and hardens her to the point that she can be a “Wolf’s Chosen.”
Hopefully Riot doesn't retcon the aspect of war dieing. I really want a series based around Targon, aspects, and everything surrounding it. It would be so cool seeing Pantheon in a way similar to Arcane.
but why is Mel unharmed in Arcane
she clearly bears some powers, possibly inherited from her mother
aspect of war didnt leave , he got murdered
Kindred isn't a mere aspect, she is death. Even Aurelian must meet her one day
Her going toe to toe with pantheon is the scariest thing I’ve seen her do ong like I see a pantheon player in league and I’m GONE other side of the map because NO
The middle was pantheon the girl with two blades are katarina and the one with red left hand with big cape is swain. I hope riot make three of them as a skin
The Aspect of War, Pantheon was killed and Atreus remained, with Pantheons powers still in his body.
I think its proof she aint dead in Arcane seeing as Kindred is a manifestation of Death and could seemingly bring her back from death here. Plus grey hair here and in the game vs brown in the show might suggest she is the aspect of war/chosen of the wolf/ whatever back from the dead shenanigans that means, in the future of the show. Interesting Swain is also here given the next series too
Aspect of war is dead, the aspect himself is dead.
They did Amessa's release skin so dirty. It looks terrible compared to the music video. The same can be said for some of the others too (and Kindred deserved the prestige, or at least a skin that resembled what they looked like on the video)
Bro missed the mark by a long shot
From the way it played out in the first act of season 2, I feel fairly sure that she already IS and HAS BEEN the aspect of war. Who is now grooming Caitlyn to be the new host.
I think the two standing behind Pantheon are Swain and Katarina.
She did not fight the Aspect if War, because it is already fully dead, wiped from the stars, she is fighting our Pantheon, Atreus, since his lore involves overcoming death after aatrox impaled pantheon, allowing atreus to take back his body, he is also accompanied by swain, who was dying on the floor of the placidium after irelia sliced off his arm, until a raven came down to feed off him, he saw in its eyes a reflection of the black rose, as he then makes a deal with the demon Raum, which allowed him to survive, and katarina is there due to her multiple near death experience and assasination attempts
Lambs are usually seen as a symbol of innocence. Thats why, unfortunately, many were sacrificed back in the day to whatever god they deemed worthy enough. Kind of like when people would sacrifice virgins, its because the young/pure are innocent. So shes definitely givint up her innocence for the life of a blood soaked warrior.
This video is filled with missinformation.
-Kindred is death, not an aspect. Aspects are very different and well fleshed-out concepts in lore
-Embessa is not fighting Pantheon, or the aspect of war, or Atreus. That is a follower of the wolf.
-The followers of the wolf are very clearly Noxian, aspects are from Targon.
Please do not post misinformation
-I'm not using aspect in the league lore sense, although I understand how the verbiage is confusing based on the context. Kindred is the aspect of death in the literal sense, they represents death. Peaceful acceptance or kicking and screaming. Aspect means "a certain way in which something appears or may be regarded"
- Ambessa* is literally fighting pantheon. I get what you're saying, and you're right that after I made the video they specified they are the followers of wolf and not the aspects of war, but that is obviously pantheon its the skin they made for him. Come on now.
- I never specified otherwise. I think technically aspects can choose any host but you are correct in that so far they have only chosen targonians. Maybe there is a link there, but its not clarified within the lore
I think it all depends on one's interpretation
but tbh it clearly looks like she was trying to ascend targon and we see it in the video
@@flowchartkenYT its not the aspect of war shes interacting with. the aspect of war is dead, thats panths story. atreus (human panth) lived aatrox's blade through his chest but the aspect died.
she is indeed fighting pantheon tho, thats true. in this case, its a combination of promoting the skinline, and pantheon acting or being a representation of the wolf. kindred is seen how u believe it to be. noxians almost always see the wolf, and its not far fetched that the wolf could take the shape of a warrior. so no lore wise shes not fighting pantheon, shes fighting dead itself, wolf (and wolf is portrayed as panth / warrior dude.
but no, shes not becoming host of the aspect, because the aspect is dead. the other 2 are swain and katarina, other skins they want to sell.
the music video is dope, but visually not fully cannon so to say. its more a representation of other things. ambessa is pretty much fighting off death itself (the kindred) and sacrifices her "lamb" (theorized to be her child as she was pregnant in the vid) to live another day.
its very vague, and abstract, hard to interpret, but thats also the beauty of it, everyone is seeing so many different things, and that is intentional.
It's not the aspect of war. It's the aspect of death. They are chosen by the wolf. The incarnation of violent death. And lamb is the incarnation of the peaceful death.
yeah this what most people call a "Mary Sue"
idk league lore but I thought the guy she was fighting was Swain (bird guy who shows up a couple times at the end of arcane) cause he has the long white hair they made a point of showing, and Swain is definitely going to be in future series
It's more likely that she becomes somekind of aspect of the kindred, because...the aspect of the war was killed by aatrox and lately atreus becomes the new one, or maybe atreus became the true god and made her his aspect
She looks so cool.
I think the lamb was kino, and I think maybe mel is dauther of a pantheon
you know "pantheon" in this clips is just a random Noxian soldier right?
Looks like Pantheon, Katarina and Swain
The Aspect of War is dead. A well known event happened where Aatrox stabbed Atreus so hard that the Aspect of War died (his constellation disappeared), hence why he’s called the “Godkiller”.
This one didn't age quite so well
I thought the lamb represents kino and how he died since it shows him younger holding the lamb later...
aspect of war 😭
Behind Pantheon is Swain and Katarina
The other 2 behind Panth is Kat and Swain.
Behind her is swain and pantheon is my guess
song + v.quality🏆🥶
I don't think it's Pantheon in that one scene, due to the fact that it looks like the one you zoomed in on is Swain.
Pretty sure it’s metaphorical. Not everything is to be taken literal. Lol.
She’s faced with death and fights for her life. She gives up on peace and accepts war, transformed by this decision into the Ambessa that we see on Arcane.
….. didn’t pantheons lore specifically say that Attrox killed the very god of war when he first killed pantheon. His hole thing is he’s using the remaining power of the aspect through sheer human will power
WAIT. Ok hear me out. I’ve never played league so what I’m saying might be stupid in some way but remember when she’s training cait and she says that she discovered a new rule of war which is ‘sacrifice.’ Maybe she’s representing that somehow in the music video. Especially with the lamb.
And then arcane act 3 kills her off lol
Might the lamb be her child? To protect it she has to become stronger but by becoming a warlord her position as a mother to her child is kinda sacrificed?
Since she seemed pregnant in the music video
So mel was the one chosen. Not ambessa
Pleaseeee tell me the floor being uncracked around mel in episode one means something!!!
Kindred is not aspect of death, but death itself
Now when she's really dead.. Maybe her legendary skin is canon?)
It's clearly Swain & Katarina
pantheon there is just a image of him used by the wolf
Swain and katarina with pantheon
I will read his books now. Thx
Behind panth there are swain and kata
Dont remember this scene, when does it happen?
I loved the fight
Isn't she just another targon incarnation ?
..she’s pregnant
I'm so confused as someone who's knows nothing about lol lore
lol me too, i figured out some stuff from reading the comments on the music video but theres clearly so many different characters and concepts that i have no idea of😭 itd be cool if someone made a video explaining things for ppl who only watched arcane and know nothing about LoL
@@brickgutsThere is a Video by a youtuber called Necrit, he always breaks down everything 😊
@@MinionsWillSpawn I checked out the video this is exactly what i was hoping for thank you
@@brickguts your welcome :-)
He does this for all league related Videos and announcements, truly one of a kind knowing the history and lore of league :-D
I dont think its an arcane music video... i think its just ambessas introduction in league...
Did anyone else see the babies eyes glow gold just before she woke up ?
What actually happened for that to occur
i think i saw a video of someone explaining stuff about bein "wolf's champion" or something like that, not sosure if thats a thing or not
Isn’t the previous aspect of war dead? Like wasn’t he wiped from existence because of aatrox and Atreus just took over as the new aspect of war in general?
Kinda, the aspect itself is dead dead, and Pantheon still has embers of celestial power cuz the aspect "body" died inside of him and he can tap into it by using pure willforce. Idk if the celestials would appoint another "Legal" aspect of war... But who knows...
@@verdadlumin7423Viego's magic had brough the constellation of Pantheon back into the sky, so Pantheon (The Aspect, not Atreus, his last host) is alive technically. But yeah I'm unsure if another host will be a good idea.
Really missed it in this one, for someone who doesnt know the lore thats pretty good guess tho!
Perhaps I'm wrong or Riot made a sudden change. But the Aspect of war is dead, They don't call Aatrox the god killer for nothing.
No, no, no, no... Let the aspect of war lay to rest...
The Lamb was her giving up her children. They even focus in on her embryo. That had to be her son, and not her daughter unless she already had a baby which I doubt.
On the Official Video, it's already in the description that it's the Chosen of the Wolf Skinline. Not the new aspect of war 👍
The aspect of War is gone... It died by Aatrox's sword. Atreus himself turned into a new aspect of War, for his force of will rekindled the arms of War when he swore to fight against any godlike power that was raised against humanity.
Without any context as to what you're talking about in this video, and only having watch Arcane, this made absolutely no sense. I just hear a bunch of Greek related words and Kratos's Son
Wait didnt the aspect of war die when aatrox peirced pantheon?
Aatrox killed that sucka already lol
there's a reason the lamb is the warrior offering the gift ! and the wolf is the scavenger! the Lambs enlightenment free of limits free of death! but the wolf serves as his hunger never ends! soo many ancient drawing paint lambs and wolves we see the hunger and passion in the wolves eyes , and almost always the lamb is a peace , acceptance maybe the true power after all , true enlightenment has no need for hunger!
This NI never ever had something common with kindred. It actually sylas slept with ksante and that is what we have now
the aspect of war is dead, killed by aatrox. if anything its pantheon that is slowly becoming a new kind of enbodiment of war. The only way -atleast as beeing shown so far- for the aspect to return is if pantheon gets infected by black mist as it revives the aspect in its former host.
This skin line is canon?
arcane video?? dude this is a league of legends MV lol
