Arcade/Arcade: Heroes

Lore[]

“	▶️"Are you from Hyper Crystal Dungeon? I'm so good at that game."
“	— Pulsefire Ezreal

Arcadia: home to the server's most competitive arcade gamers and justice-driven NPCs. Here, the heroes always play to win. And that means overriding the Battle Bosses' corrupted code, even with the odds stacked against them. Victory won't come easy, but seeing the surprise on the bosses' faces after an incredible outplay will totally make it worth it.

Arcade Heroes

Arcade Ahri
Owner of the mysterious six-million-point high score in the infamously difficult beat-em-up Demacia Vice, Ahri is a force of nature on the retro battlefields of Arcadia. Dashing between bosses before ripping them apart with her 8-bit magic, she's already earned the nickname “Queen of the Arcade.”
Arcade Anivia
- 6Arcade Anivia (6Level 2, 5 Anivia's Harsh Winds, 1Eggnivia, Glacial Storm)
  When dodging an evil sorcerer’s missiles with half your health bar and no revives, don’t forget you can always fight back.
  The secret to fighting back? Make every missile count.
  “ANIVIA!! DON’T FORGET TO DO A BARREL—”
  - Beaky Bird
  Never give up!
  “Ready your missiles!”
  - Anivia
Arcade Caitlyn
Acclaimed hero of the “Sniper Cop” rail shooter series, Caitlyn enforced the laws of Arcadia prior to the Battle Boss uprising. She brings her sharp eye and eager trigger finger to the fight to save her world, only stopping long enough to flick her gun off-screen for a reload.
- Prestige Arcade Caitlyn
  Appearing most recently in “Sniper Cop 7” as a golden-clad secret character, Caitlyn's popularity has finally transcended games as a medium.
Arcade Corki
Chromas: Catseye, Citrine, Obsidian, Pearl, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, Turquoise
The fearless protagonist of a 1980s top-down shooter, Corki resists Veigar's battle bosses the same way he resists being shot down by thousands of glowing bullets—move fast, and shoot everything before it shoots him.
Arcade Ezreal
A skilled gamer transported to Arcade World by Veigar, Ezreal holds the world record for speedrunning the original version of Hyper Crystal Dungeon in 45 seconds, using a custom-made mobile controller. Veigar has made a terrible mistake.
Arcade Gnar
- 4Arcade Gnar (4Mega Gnar, 2 Pokey Stick)
  Gnar has always had... destructive... tendencies, but at least he plays by the rules.
  Of course, this backfires when the game’s rules involve tearing down--and eating--every building in sight.
  Don’t think too hard about whose bone this is.
Arcade Hecarim
An unlikely favorite among retro purists, Hecarim has remained one of the most popular characters of the arcade era. Now he stands against the combined forces of gaming's greatest villains, proving there's no hero more noble than a rainbow-shooting chrome centaur from 1978.
- 6Arcade Hecarim (6Level 2, 2 Spectral Rider)
  The valiant Hecarim knows that winning a race takes more than just going fast.
  Sometimes, all you need is a little turbo boost.
  “Sir Hecarim’s so cool, isn’t he? He’s swift, noble, and shiny…”
  “I’d follow his rainbow-shooting tail anywhere!”
Arcade Kai'Sa
Chromas: Amethyst, Aquamarine, Catseye, Emerald, K.O., Obsidian, Rose Quartz, Ruby
A bounty hunter and ex-soldier hailing from the hellish multidirectional shooter “PixelVoid II,” Kai'Sa was called back to the Arcadian theater after the Battle Bosses infected her game. As she is unmatched at killing screen-covering boss monsters with massive health pools, invading “PixelVoid II” may have been a severe miscalculation.
Arcade Miss Fortune
Chromas: Amethyst, Aquamarine, Citrine, K.O., Peridot, Ruby
Miss Fortune (Sarah to her friends) is better known in the real world for holding the top scores in every shoot-em-up game ever created. In Arcade World, she's famed for earning those scores through whatever means necessary, willing to bring in any target for the right amount of points.
- 3Arcade Miss Fortune (3Level 2, 2 Miss Fortune's Make it Rain, Love Tap, Bullet Time)
  "Whatever weapon I choose, I'll be beating my own high score tonight."
  “WHERE ARE YOU SHOOTING? I’M OVER HERE!”
  - Grand Overseer Veigar
  “I’ll hit them all, and I’ll do it with my eyes closed.”
  - Miss Fortune
  "500 points, in the bag."
  - Miss Fortune
  “What do you mean, 3-shot limit?”
  - Miss Fortune
Arcade Quinn
- 5Arcade Quinn (5Level 2, 2 Quinn's Blinding Assault, 2 Valor)
  QUINN has found a sleeping VAL! What will QUINN do?
  
  > TAME
  
  LEAVE
  VALOROUS used SKYSTRIKE. The attack was very successful!
  What should VALOROUS do next?
  
  > ATTACK
  
  GIVE UP
  "Let’s be the greatest, Val. Like no one ever was." - Quinn
  “Valorous, I pick you!”
  - Quinn
Arcade Riven
Chromas: K.O.
Riven's part-time job at an arcade mostly involved playing dance simulators after her manager went home. Digitally transported to Arcade World by even scarier bosses, she's now using her moves (and some gear from her favorite RPG) to tear up Veigar's regime, one enemy at a time.
Arcade Sona
Chromas: K.O.
Being forcefully transported from the real world to fight an army of evil video game bosses is no sweat for Sona. She was the first person to beat Keyboard Solo 4's ultra solo mode on nightmare difficulty—a feat that, by the developers' own admission, should not have been possible.
Arcade Viego
As the kingdom's hero and savior in popular role-playing video game Dragon Hunt I, Viego never once regretted the sacrifices he had to make to protect the people. Except for the death of his wife, that is. Unable to accept that she's lost to him forever, he made a pact with the One-Eyed Demon, all to bring his beloved back to life. In the critically acclaimed sequel Dragon Hunt II, Viego is now the Knight of the Night, his body taken over by the One-Eyed Demon. Unbeknown to the demon, however, Viego has also been absorbing its powers to boost his own strength all this time. Just what could he be planning...?
