"Riot will never release kassasins daughter"
Clearly this comment did not age well
Yep
they made a mistake
Im confused. Youre talking about kai'sa right? I heard rumors that she was his daughter but i never believed it.
@@eloplague7319 yes
Reload if kassadin is on the enemy team she will say: “What is this feeling? Do I feel my father?
"I don't think we'll get Kassadin's daughter" *1 month later* welcome to kai'sa's champion spotlight
Swain's interaction to Kass made so obvious that his daughter that it actually made me surprised that Necrit didn't believe that it was going to happen
@@gabrielgomes8465 I believe this is the first time we had a lore character become a champion and tbh it makes the lore a bit harder to write because you can’t kill or hurt them too much
True tho hahahha
@@jimmyelkordy3752 now we have viego too
@@mahdihosseini5438 That's my boy I love that man
Swain doesn't just have a lot of knowledge, whenever he gains a soul fragment he gains some of their knowledge, example, when he steals a fragment from swain he says "I already knew that"
He has a quote for himself
That's funny
@@cupcake769 quite a few champs have that, like draven saying YOINK if he catches an enemy draven's axe.
Did Urgots rework foreshadow that swains hand would be cut off?
"The hand of Noxus can be cut off, ask your master" (Urgot taunting Darius)
Frozen Yes it did
Darius is the hand of noxus, that taunt is more about claiming Darius to be disposable
Frozen good eye but I believe he’s referring to Darius, the hand of noxus, who may be the replacement for the old hand
It did, Riot is making a habit of hinting future lore with new champs and reworks.
TheVictor126 Yes, Darius's title is Hand of Noxus, but in his lore, Darius had seen weakness and felled the previous Hand and took his place. Urgot is using a metaphor that he can handle Darius, likening Swain's hand getting cut off to Darius being killed.
If Swain uses the eye on Velkoz his mind will blow from excessive knownledge
Lol
His white little head would go po🅱️
He know everything the demon knows and its older than than time like other greater demons

Swain’s interaction with Jinx just shows for how long they’ve been working on Arcane
6 years as a matter of fact.
Yeh, of all the voice lines that one aged very well.
19 minutes of him explaining the details of his lorgasm
lay it on me necrit daddy
lorgasm indeed
"Lay it on me necrit daddy" LMFAO
(ง ͡ʘ ͜ʖ ͡ʘ)ง
Spook Space l
king crimson how does it fucking work?
The Lux interaction is a hypothetical. Swain is asking, "which would be worse; Lux dies as a battle-mage on the front lines defending her country or hides her gift and accepts who society wants her to be." Lux never *actually* died, my dude.
Viktor the Creator the quote plays when she dies according to a rioter on the boards
Hey, it's wednesday, my dudes.
He was referencing to sylas damn
Skin Spotlight made an error. All the Interactions for collecting Soul fragments are when Swain kills the person. They corrected themselfes in the description. So she fell in battle, in the rift.
I dunno, she could, in the future...
honestly the Garen quote makes no sense if it is related to galio or petricite because he says nothing like it to J4 or Xin. The reason that I think he says it is because Garen has magic within him just like his sister giving him strength like the ability to see when people break pacts or when a villain has done certain horrible actions, would explain his light sword finisher in the cinematic and ability to heal quicker than other individuals like in lux's story about the tomb.
Roe great theory you have there good sir
Yeah, this. It seems like Necrit got the Garen quote completely wrong. It makes so much more sense to talk about the innate magic that Garen and his bloodline carries.
Also his ult that summons a giant sword from the sky that deals magic damage
Roe This made me think. I think Garen would feel severe pain when exposed to petricite just like Lux. He would have to power through the agony.
Roe yes exactly,since he it related to lux and petricite is nothing more then a tool that demacians use,that's the only logical explanation..plus some demacians literally despise magic why would they use petricite then?
Lel. I activated the subtitles and they're automatically made by TH-cam. Aurelion Sol is translated to Our Alien Soul.
Quite fitting.
The Jinx "It was all her fault" line, wtf. After Arcane it takes on a whole new meaning
They have always had a vague story, we just didnt know how they are related
@@yes78 Nah, they've been planning it for a long ass time... you can even see an arcane poster in true damage - giants
@@Spad3s true damage came out after the arcane characters, the vague story is hidden in some short stories, bio and voicelines.
@@yes78 Not the character, the exact poster, the one they use on Netflix - it's pretty well known arcane has been a very long time in the making
I believe they were working on arcane for 6 years, but I hope it doesn't take that long again for season 2.
11:10 ''Faces, fading in the flames. It was all her fault.''
Now we know
For Camille, I thought that it was hinting that Camille was the C in Caitlyn’s lore. And that Caitlyn is Camille”s grandniece
EDIT: I also just found out that Camille has a quote for Caitlyn that further confirms this, “Don’t go looking for what you don’t want to find”
I had the same thought. I was a little disappointed that Necrit never considered this possibility.
tÍ find this more likely too
Ya thought the same.
.... oh shit
I was saying that theory on his streams but he always denied them
But the shop keeper in ARAM tells ashe the bow is averosa's.
why would some random shop keeper know this?
Because its Gregor, His soul was bounded their back when Avarosa was alive.
"I am Gregor, the eternal guardian of the Howling Abyss! Avarosa herself killed me; it was a great honor. She bound my spirit here, so I can sound the horn if the Watchers return."
OHH that shop keeper.
I need to play more howling abyss
nice observation man forgot about that guy
meanwhile
Rifts shop is a bloody walrus.........
Keep in mind that Greyor exclaims and asks "is that...avarosa's bow!?"
It's not a straight up confirmations. Greyor was loyal to avarosa so it's possible he just really wants this to be true
Just want to address how his abilities work. After I recorded this Riot revealed that his demon is the Demon of Secrets. He can read memories of other champions through the eye. We'll talk about this on stream next Tuesday.
Necrit What time of the day do you stream?
AQW Guide 10am Paris time
Necrit dude
His w gives you a shard, not just his passive ... you know thta right?
You said that Demacia would win vs noxus but swain when kills an enemy demacian in game says how predictable...in the case of him being a master tactician i think that noxus would win vs demacia ...and also in a 2v2 battle referenced to your video who would win(j4 and garen vs darius and swain i think now that noxians would win cause swain is no longer using Magic but demonic powers and we know that demons can sneak in demacia without being harmed because evelynn killed vaynes parents
Also what about the taunt response on Darius it really confused me can u explain it here pls
When Jinx was teased she vandalised riots' page, and at the end of the tease and jinx was released there was a note on her lore (and at that time all champions had their lore under their information tab, skills and such). The note was about someone looking for her signed "C". It wasn't a threat kinda note so it wasn't Caitlyn, more like a friendly "i worry about you note". Camille is Jinxs' Grandaunt :/
The Camille and "C" quote is actually more tied to Caitlyn, who was after a criminal called "C"
Yeah that's what I was thinking. I havent read their lores yet, but the first thing I thought was, "Wait... Caitlyn is Camille's grand-niece? tf?"
If Caitlin is the one chasing C Then it could be Camille secretly.
Plot twist they are all C....🙀
Now I can understand why Irelia's rework is right after Swain's.
Because irelia chopped off his arm!
savage Irelia
She dissarmed him
She did him a favor haha
Swain does not have ultimate knowledge, or omniscience or anything like that from his demon; he simply rips fragments of souls from his enemies. When he consumes them, he gains a bit of insight, like a fragment of memory. This is why he says ''I already knew that'' when he consumes a soul fragment from an enemy swain. He would obviously know everything about himself.
The eye has nothing to do with it. The interactions activate with swain's passive, and it happens that his eye ability procs the passive. But you can also gain soul fragment from right clicking impaired enemies or simply killing them.
Exactly. He has also a quote that says "i hear their whisper in the back of my mind" (something like that) wich reference that he maybe hears the thoughts of the people he "soul drain"
if i remember, the demon he host is the demon of secrets, like Nocturne is of nightmares, so he gains access to their secrets through their soul fragments
I love the Riven interaction, even if it doesnt reveals anything new, its good to remind Riven has a good heart because looking at her in game I only feel hate
Swain says to Garen, 'Ignorant of the very magic you carry into battle. How Demacian.' Swain is not referencing Galio, as that is to do with Demacia, here he is revealing something about Garen. He is not referring to Petricite, as that is not magical, but rather, feeds off it. Here, Sawin is referencing Garen's sword.
In Lux's comic, Garen and Sylas have a duel and Sylas says something along the lines of what Swain has said. He says 'You don't know, do you?' as he absorbs the magic from Garen's sword and uses it against him. I believe that there is a lot more to Garen then Riot lets on, he is like the Captain America of Runeterra. Captain Runeterra 😂.
What is possible, is that Garen may carry a rune or something like that, or that Demacia is built on one. We can also assume that Garen's sword is partly relic from Warriors and Sylas' second duel with him, and of course, it may be the blade or the combination of the two blades of the winged protectors of Demacia. Point is, Garen may have one of the most powerful weapons in Runeterra and doesn't even know it. And that the sword could be sending temptations to Garen, but, he is literally the most do good champion, apart from Ryze that we know of.
Speaking of Ryze, if we combine my theory of Garen's sword and your theory of Galio, we can probably expect a visit from Ryze, into Demacia.
I also think, that with Swain's taunt with Lux refers to the future, I think that, from the video of Warriors, the comic lux, and Sylas, Demacia is going to split in three, the anty-magic, the only-magic and the we-have-misunderstood magic parties, Poppy will support the misunderstood group and find out her true potential and the problem of Demacia will be resolved, moving towards the greater plot of the Void.
Anyways, thanks for reading and please respond, or make a video of Garen, I am obsessed with Garen. Also, advice from your audience, I, personally prefer when you expand on things like interactions or Legends of Runeterra rather than reading the stories that we can easily read our selves.
Well, thank you. - Zacerath from league of legends.
Garen being magical wouldn't make enough sense. Especially with his relationship with the Mage seekers who would be able to sense the magic in him if he did have magic.
What the regeneration represents is Garen's stubbornness to survive. He refuses to die if his country is in danger, as we see in the Lux comic. Not magic, stubbornness, 🙃.
@Adika Garen ult is pure magic his Q or E are physical
Isn't it kayles magic that he casts?
We've never seen any evidence to support that, though I suppose it's possible...?
It does however appear far more likely that Garen carries around a sword fuelled with the magic of his fallen enemies, which he unleashes with his R
But I guess we'll have to wait for Riot to make Garen's are cannon
'Are' in last paragraph was meant to be R... soz
I'd like to find out Kassadin's daughter became reksai.
(I know its Kai'Sa, Stop telling me that. The comment is from before Kai'sa was revealed.)
Ellis NiRoCo I had the same thought as well 😁
Nigga what? Are you high
Ellis NiRoCo I don't think so, if I remember correctly RekSai lore, she was a monster in Shurima legends for centuries, I don't think Kass is that old, is he?
Rek'Sai is apart of an existing race of the void called the Xer'Sai, if Kassadins daughter was turned into a Void creature then she probably wouldn't be apart of an existing race.
Vel koz is kassa"s daughter
A funny thing about the hammer of orion, when sylas steals her ult he says : "I wonder, is this hammer meant for me?"
It would be funny if he was really the "hero" of demacia
it *does* fit his kit better than poppy, maybe even better than his actual ult
Wards fade? Wards are another word for seal.... Like seals keeping the watchers at bay?
xDoomfirex exactly, I'm surprised he just shrugged it off. I mean we have Lissandra and her masters
Aye. They are unaware of the real threats that are blooming.
Seriously its a direct mention to the final ward that is keeping the frozen watcher in.
@@CrimWorld9 The irony is Lissandra's plan worked the world is strong enough now to deal with another incursion. Especially with Atreus/Diana/Leona on runtera
He feels like the real vladimir.
True, When i talk about the new Swain with my friends i always mention him as "The new Vladimir"
i think vlad should get a lore update as well, i mean he's quite solid, he's a sadist who likes people's blood but there must be more to it than that.
The Vlad we deserved, but not the one Rito gave us ;(
Vladimir Putin
@@watcoh Vladimir Pun-tin ;)
"the vastaya blood is not in my veins, its on my hands" reference to rakans interaction: "you were given Vastayan blood, yet chose to be blind."-Riot probably wanted to expand swains story in different way when rakan was released, swains "bird" abilities were supposed to be tied with him being half vastaya. But now its all about the demon, so swain confirms that its no longer a thing :)
good one
Or could be that the demon has vastayan relation, since it's a crow and stuff...
@@findout2655 RAVEN NOT CROW
yeah sorry english is not my 1st language
I think he means it differently. He probably just shed the Vastayan blood, and therefore it is on his hands. Just a thought here...
He looks like lucius malfoy
he sounds like lucius did in my head when i was reading the books for the first time :D
@@anadonner4685 In polish version, Swain and Malfoy shares voice actor
@@tatodziadekpl4289 ha rly? thats funny :D didnt know that ... but it makes sence :D
more like Judge Frolo from The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
Youre wrong about tryndamere...its not a taunt to barbarians its a taunt to freljordians... When he says "they squabble as the winds howl" hes refering to Freljordians being in petty fights while lissandra is summoning the watchers and thats why the winds "howl"... Meaning lissandra is making progress... Lissandra is also causing the wards to fade so no one notices their early arrival...
RoccoBuzz I think you're right
Blub Blub That was a discussion in the community a few days ago and Im very VERY invested in the freljord :)
2nd Update: As more info gets released it is more and more obvious how Swain really works. He can only collect the memories of the dead, so all of those quote only play after he kills a champion. We did a full 2 hours long stream about these quotes alone. Check out our 2nd channel for it's VOD.
Necrit Wait i thought that the whole deal with Swain having quotes after extracting a soul fragment meant that he was reading the information inside your soul, like some sort of mind reading but with the essence of the champion instead of just his/her thoughts, does that make sense?
This is probably one of the roots of his power and deep knowledge, nobody can hide the contents of their soul from him.
wouldn't the quote about Garen mean that him, just as Lux, has some kind of magical power? That would explain his Ultimate. In the old cinematic were he calls donw the sword upon Katarina (if you know what i mean....) he seems to be doing it with some resignation, I know im digging too deep there, but is just what comes to my mind
Where can I find the second channel? Or it's patreon releted stuff?
Necrit The new Void champ might be Kassadin's daughter, a lot of things pointed to that
That moment when you're right lol
''a king remains in the mist and another marches'' swain could also talk about the ruined king within the mist of the shadow isles and mordekaise who marches on the shadow isle to gather souls for a possible siege of noxus
i was thinking that
Well, since it’s for Shadow Isles characters generally I think he’s commenting on the Ruined King’s lack of action compared to the other spirits.
And tada! They are literally the same thing!
.
and now they relased kai'sa, to "fulfill" the kassadin's daughter theory XD
No its alot simpler.
When he collects a piece of their soul he can see their memory. Thus he knows what they know
(Edit) and I'm basing this off of the fact when he does this to himself he says, "I already knew that"
Anime Outlands souls dont contain memories.
There isn't much proof against that and with how souls are interpreted as something made up of mind and body I wouldn't doubt that they contain memories.
you are right, he has a quote saying "When their lifes flashes before their eyes, so doed their secrets"
and i bet that the whisper sound you hear when he collect a soul is the secrets. you know, whisper, secrets
God dang it I was going to comment that... well played sir
11:10 Right here, Arcane fans, this is where Swain spoiled episode 3
Taric has an interaction with Ashe “that bow belongs in the stars” or something like that so maybe Ashe’s bow isn’t from runeterra
Cosmic queen ashe
11:12 I came here for this :D
10:00 Couldn't this hint that Garen too has some magical power similiar to Lux's, but because he's wearing his aromr he dosen't notice his power?
If in a future story we learn that garen's ult is cannon i'll kms
Maybe he is actually wearing his armor intently to seal his own magic? Given that they are trying not to use magic.
See i thought thats what swain was referencing was Garen's ult since it deals magic damage.
Lu Bue Tbh he probably has some magic powers, since his sister is a full on light mage and magic tends to run in familes. Demacia is probably even built fully with magic however the Demacian people deny it.
that would be pretty cool.
Literal fucking goosebumps with swain's comments on jinx
His passive gives him soul fragments, and since most of these interactions occur when he gains a soul fragment, isn't it more likely that he's reading their memories from the fragments instead?
Coming here after Arcane I know what swain means when he reveals jynx and it’s all her fault but I still feel bad 😔
Really Feels bad man... :
I think the bilge water quote ties in with nautilis. Idk exactly how, but whatever corrupted him has a bigger tie in now.
I think the Freljordian quote means that as they fight among themselves, the wards, which I think means the howling abyss, weakens. Remember, Lissandra enchanted it, which causes it to weaken, and eventually break. I think it will break soon, and there could be an event for it. This could be really cool
Honestly i belive the reason why Swain knows all of that hard to find knoledge mainly comes from the soul shards/fragments that he gets from his passive, he does say those lines AFTER collecting a soul from a champion, also colecting part of their memories and life experiences, that's why he says "I already knew that" after collecting another Swain's soul, he IS swain so he already knew and has those same memories. A skill rather most useful for a master tactician, to gather intel from enemies.
Keep up the amazing work on following and interpretating league's lore :)
Swain's interaction to gangplank might also mean that the true enemies are the void creatures, which would tie in to nagakabouros (is that how you spell it?) being a creature of the void. It would also make sense Nami's story tells us that void creatures can spawn beneath the sea
After Pyke reveal, the quote with gp is verry logic, Pyke was ressurected in somehow by the monsters from the deep see and he know verry well what is there then anyone alsp nautilus was bring back by the see so the real enemy is the monsters that transforms people into ghosts or a monster far away powerful, that is king of queen of the "house"
Crazy to finally understand all the lines planned out so far before the release of Arcane. Hope the series keeps on going and gives more answers to other quotes.
When Warwick interacts with Jinx he says "You were there..." and "Let me forget". Now, this may be a little bit tricky. We know that before Warwick became actually Warwick, he was a gangster in Zaun and that a certain point he wanted to wash away all his crimes, leaving the gangster life into his past and becoming, generally, a good man. Reconnecting with Swain's interactions with Jinx "Faces... fading into the flames... it was her fault". I think that Jinx may be not literally the cause of the fire whic melted those faces. If Warwick is really her father, I can assume that he wanted to end his criminal life because he had a baby (that being Jinx) and knew that it would have been dangerous for him and his family to have so much enemies. So she made him reject his life style. But we also know by Warwick's story that even if he tried to get rid of his criminal life, his enemies woulnd't have let him go so easely. I think that another gangster or band of Zaun tried to kill Warwick and his family, by giving his house to the flame. That's also very tipical way used by gangters and mafia's-like organization to get rid of someone. So that would explain the intercation of Swain with Jinx, because if she was never born, Warwick wouldn't have rejected his life and he would still be a gangster.
Warwick's mind is now twisted by Singed's experimenting on him, but it is known that he has flash back of his past life, one of a somber man with scars on his arms, another of an old blade coovered in blood and the last but more important, of a girl. The girl was also present in his flashback during Singed's experiments. That girl may be Jinx, and Warwick he's asking her to let him forget her, because he doesn't want to remember the face of her child burning into the flame whic destroyed his house. Probably they both think that the others died into the blaze. The "You were there..." interaction may be referring exactly at the moment when the house started to burn.
Yes, i love Warwick and his rework was amagazing and necrit got me so into scavenging to know better his story :D
I bet on all WW and Jinx skins that Swain's interaction with Jinx is a little spoiler for Arcane
After watching arcane, it's absolutely amazing how close you were with your theories. Great thinking
@@NNichtnormal truly
Seems Swain knew arcane was coming out before all of us
I'm pretty sure the Warwick quote is actually a reference to Warwick's lore about the girl he tried to save. He tried to rescue a girl from a group of gangsters, but he was so enraged by his blood lust that he just attacked everything around him, and he wasn't sure if he was biting the gang members or the girl. I think Swain is saying that Warwick didn't realize how close the girl was to him so he ended up accidentally killing the girl along with the gang members.
Oblivion Pan That still might be Jinx. Ekko and the crew inside he is are seldomly confronting against gangsters (like he does in his cinematic)
I still believe its jinx, it just makes so much sense
I died when he said "thats why kassadin looks like boot leg darth vader"
actually, Riot has already answered to "how can he knows so much things about champions ?" -----> Quote from official website : Having conquered a demon of secrets, Swain can send extensions of his will in the form of ravens across Runeterra, gathering memories from the dead. Some of these whispers haunt him, giving him glimpses of a dark future. This makes Swain a great strategist, but it’s not just because his wisdom stat is higher.
Holy hell, they teased Viego years ago. What's underneath the Black Mist but the source of the Mist itself.
Or MAYBE Garen possesses untapped magic potential but isn't aware of it unlike his sister, which is why he can summon a giant sword of glowing light out of the sky
It's very interesting watching Swain's interaction in general because it shows how far ahead they had things planned out. For example, Jinx (Arcane), Kassadin's daughter (Kai'sa), Lux + Karen (Sylas).
Most of the information from this video appears only when Swain takes in a "Soul Fragment" from another champion. So I would think that he does not so much see everything that is going on as he gets glimpses into the lives of others when he "consumes" parts of their souls.
I'm gonna dump all my comments, I apologize.
Regarding Bilgewater, I think that Swain could be talking about Nautalis or he could be talking about the enemy of Nami, though the Illoai thing makes sense too.
Relating to the Aurelian thing, I think it related to Zoe's interactions, how she said that there were other space dragons, and that Aurelian is one of many of them. I think he's saying the same thing, that there is more than one space dragon like Aurelian, possibly even some who are related to him.
Apparently the Skin spotlights comments pointed out that "C" was part of Caitlin's lore, so maybe that relates to it.
With Ionia, Swain is talking about the genocide/killings of the Vasiya that was mentioned by Xayah and Rakan, and how the deaths of the vastiya is what gave the land its magic to begin with.
With Kayn, I think he's talkin bout how Kayn is gay for Zed, and how his hate for him and his love for him are similar.
The other king that Swain is refering to with the Shadow isles may have to do with Moredkaiser, not himself.
With the Warwick thing, it could be soraka he is refering to but thats old lore so I really have no idea.
With Garen, oh I like this one the most so I saved it for last cause this is kinda my favorite type of charactor development. I think he's hinting that Garen has his own magic. Garen is related to Lux, and Lux is a magical protegy, with Lux having so much power it would make sense that Garen would have magic of his own, only unlike Lux he never relaized it. It does explain why his ult is magic, the demcian justice lighting stuff, and it might also explain, at least to me, why his armor is so thick, cause it seems way too big for what it needs to be. I staright up wanna write a fanfic bout this, though i don't know much about Garen lol.
Designer646 you correct on mord theory. However it's more cannon. If want proof this cannon. Just read thersh, kalista, hecarim, mords and yoricks lore and stories. And most of the pieces come together. Most people don't know that mord is an ancient king who was sealed in the vault if the blessed Isles and was guarded by thresh, hecarim and kalista served the mad King first hand. There is a possibility for the return of the mad King as a champion and his daughter.
He looks like Lucious Malfoy
Yeah, I didn't notice that!
he's like a mix of luscious malfoy and tywin lannister
This man guessed jinx's story right 3 yrs before it was revealed from a couple voice lines. Applause.
I feel like what he says to Darius referees to the fact that sooner or later Darius and Swain might fight. After all when it comes to Noxus people are driven by power and those high enough tent to want to rule over others. Swain has seen this numerous times and he acknowledges that even someone who was his friend might come after his head one day. The fact that he only says this if Darius is an enemy also implies this.
Thank you
He sees people mindlesly seeking power, that's why he divided Noxus rule into three people which one of them is actually Darius
"it was all her fault" GOD DAMN they setup Arcane early
Arcane as a project started 6 years ago.
Maybe he refers as the king in the mist to the Ruined King and the one who marches to Mordekaiser
Noir Anzak yeah that would make sense. Snice the mad King is the cause of the mist and reason for mord escape is the mad King.
17:13 Hearing this now, i realise that the "something far worse" is referencing Mordekaiser.
i had thought when he said "a king remains in the mist and another marches" he was speaking of mordekaiser waiting in the black mist. kind of referencing the coming darkness from his lore update. and also at the end, the "far worse" thing waiting to take noxus, could indeed be mordekaiser reclaiming his kingdom.
The king that remains in the mist is The Ruined King. The Marching King is Mordekaiser who will be coming for the Immortal Bastion maybe
congratulations! Now u know u r a good detective :3
if you start ''explaining'' every quote and interaction with ''few possible options'' and ''maybe this and maybe that'' don't call and it ''Explained''
In my opinion the garen quote explains his ultimate not hus armor...
and his passive.
his ultimate and passive aren't cannon in lore
Thats right, but it still makes sense and could be established in the future.
11:19 oh...well yikes
What if Swain's quote to Garen references that he has magic powers similar to Lux, he just hasn't realised it yet? This would explain why he can summon a giant swort out of thin air.
This... When he talked about galio and the armor I was like ''wtf this nigga can summon a giant sword that deals magic damage!''
@@findout2655 That only happens in game, but not in the actual lore
Just read the Lux comic. Sylas was somehow able to steal magic from nowhere when he was fighting garen; so either Garen has magic (i would say a regeneration and absorption/redirection of magic), or he absorbed ot from the petricite. I would prefer the Garen magic thing though
Garen’s ult uses the power of the divine
@@The_One_Of_Moisture Yeah, that can be it too. Kayle's power, but it still seems odd to me that no other demacian champ uses it; if it is infused in certain weapons, or can be infused, then I do not see why they would not put it in xin zhao spear or Quinn crossbow. Perhaps garen power is redirection of magic or he is the only one who can use Kayle's power, because he has some affinity for magic ( btw having affinity for magic does not mean you have magic).
11:03 or maybe he's saying that his (royal) blood is the only useful thing about him?
11:10 lets just say, jinx kill her family in front of vi, this will be told in the future
Swain could know about all these details about champions because the ability used gives him "soul fragments." Maybe these soul fragments give him a piece of their memory, like how ahri would take life essence or memories from her victims.
Exactly, it's why when he uses it on himself, he says, "I already knew that."
When Swains says: ''the Wards weaken'' he means the Wards that hold off the Frozen Watchers who lie beneath the Howling Abyss.
For the Katarina one it could be Garen telling her to betray noxus by killing swain.
Edit 1: Just heard the quote of her father being missing or people blaming swain.
Hmm... Ravens.. Knows all.. and Three eyes.. #SwainisBrandonstark
Would be a better Story ark for Bran than we got
I think that when Swain collects a fragment, he gains a little piece of a champion's memory and soul - that's why he talks about what he just learned, and that's why he said he saw into the future with Ekko.
And most likely Swain refers to his own planning as seeing farther into the future. Must be easy for him, knowing all those secrets and hints into personalities.
It's a real shame he has no interactions with Vladimir... Swain is now using blood magic, and for all we know Vladimir is the strongest blood magic user (hemomancer) + He is Noxian + He is with the Black Rose... Maaan... Sometimes i feel that riot just forgot about Vladimir... No important lore update, no new champions/reworks have interactions with him, no new skins, no new voice overs, no buffs/nerfs...
It's a real shame... Swain could have had a lot of good backstory and interactions with Vladimir.
I dont think that Swain uses blood magic because blood magic originates from the Darkin and Swain got his gamic from the Demon (he "is" the Demon)
You are 100% a Vladimir main. 1: your profile pic is Vladimir 2: your sad that there is no iteraction with him 3: your saying Vladimir is proberly the strongest blood magic user.
Swain uses demon magic, hence the eldritch black-red appearance. Very different from Vlad's blood.
Vlad uses Hemomancy, or Darkin magic.
Swain uses demon magic, a completely different thing.
With the tryndamere quote i think you're wrong necrit. Ornn's bridge that was built to keep the watchers was enchanted with magic which is why the howling abyss is falling apart. I think swain is saying that the war between the freiljordian factions is pointless and they're just wasting their time while the magical wards lissandra put on the bridge fail.
Heyo Necrit! I remember reading a Rioter mention that all (or maybe most) of these interactions happen when Swain collects their soul fragment UPON DEATH (through his passive). This way, you can explain why Lux's interaction with Swain mentioned her falling in battle :))
“Now many of you think that this is a confirmation to that we will get kassadins daughter as a champion”
“...And i don’t think thats true however”
Me: **laughs in 2/17/6**
I think the taunt to Darius at 16:00 references how in the Old lore (or is it still Canon?) Darius knows he could defeat swain and be the new Ruler of noxus, but doesn't want to. Now they are fighting in-game against each other, so it might just be a reference without meaning to the overall lore.
Hey necrit, I have a theory
So usually when swain hit's a champion with his eye he usually speaks to them in 3rd person instead of 2nd
So in kassadin's one swain adresses to kass's girl as "the girl who came back" wich got me thinking so I revisited kassadin's story where it said that his daughter "was claimed by the void" not corrupted (I mean this is open for interpretation) so maybe she didn't turn into a mindless creature like the marai from the nami's comic but more like malzahar...and it also says that kass made a suit to protect him and went into the void to rescue her...Now it doesn't specify what happened there only that the suit malfunction and that kass emerge aa a different man, beeing fused with the void
Now coming back to swain's third person adressing...what if he wasn't talking to kassadin but with his daughter. What if kassadin found his daughter in the void not fully corrupted and gave her the suit in order to save her because in the story it said that kass would do anything to save his daughter ...maybe this was the reason that the suit malfunctioned...because he had to take it off and expose it to the void...so what if kass is dead and his daughter is actually wearing his suit and pretending to be him and only swain knows it because he knows everything...imagine the plot twist
I mean I know this is probably not true I just thought it is an interesting hypothesis
though i love the idea, kassadin's model is way too masculin to be a woman and thus for this to be true, however maybe parts of it are true, that he gave her parts of the suite to slow down the corruption, and formed something new, like kassadin.
kassadins daughter is kai'sa
sike boi Kassadin's daughter is Kai'sa
I think that is when he steals their soul fragment he gains their thoughts one of his quotes app on getting one from any champion is" is there Whispers itch in the back of my mind" that might mean when he steals a soul fragment he gains their thoughts which is why when he says to ekko a glimpse mere seconds into the future most of Echoes quotes upon dying like that worked another timeline when he's done this battle before so Swain would get to see what he does next
The "It was only amatter of time, Darius" quote is orobabky referencing how Swain couldn't control Darius forever, so he knew that Darius would turn against him at some point, since he only has this line against an enemy darius. He also has a line to ally Darius, something about Darius trusting him (Swain) and how it might be a mistake.
Ether's Wind i think its referencing swains demon that could consume him. So hes telling darius that it was but a matter of time, that he does what he must(fight against swain)
I thought the Garen interaction was referring to his ult. In game Garen has magical powers, that he does not have in lore.
And with Arcane, we now know what he is referring to with Jinx.. :D
doesn;t matter if fiora isn't into men
her hentai is good either way >.>
There is good lesbian hentai with fiora though!
SWGYArnold is there an animation of it tho ?
And if there is link it please ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I didnt see any until now.
I love Swain's interaction with a sol and Kassadin
He teased a new champion (Kai'sa) and 2 reworks (Kayle and Morgana)
It said in his preview that Swain takes fragments of his enemies souls( his passive). When he collects a soul fragment he also gets memories from the persons soul. (Quotes: their whispers itch at the back of my mind. What have the Ravens brought me?)
The new Swain artwork gives me Lucius Malfoy vibes.
Sure about Tahm Kench being greed and not gluttony?
Well, they're pretty much the same thing anyway (Gluttony is just greed for food). But his short story was about a gambler, whom Tahm helped to wealth.
Also, he constantly talks about granting people their wishes and desires.
Gluttony is freakin cho'gath ! Also TK could be both since he makes people rich and then TAKES ALL THEY HAVE
I'm 90% sure the taunt against the freljordian champions is referencing how the people of the freljord are fighting a pointless civil war and the wards that are chaining the watchers to the howling abyss are fading fast and they will return.
austin prince thisb can be an rwally cool lore-based event like thay did with bilgewater back on the day.
In Ornn'a lore, he was asked to build a bridge by three sisters to seal some sort of terrible monsters beneath. due to a miscommunication, the sisters put their own magic ward on top of the ward that came with the bridge -- and they weakned one another due to magical bugaboo.
no, necrit, swain can see so much further into the future since he still is even if he lost his title a master tactitian and is quite possibly the most kowledgable champ there is. he knows so much that he can make accurate predictions of how people and nations will act. He doesn't see the future he deduces it.
Edit: The one against trynda might mean wards as in wards protecting them fromt he return of the frostborne...
Edit2: Couldn't the one against Heca reference Morde aswell, Morde being the marching one and the ruined King being the one hidden in the mist
Edit3: He knows because of the ravens, the eye ability is simply an ingame mechanic reflecting his knowledge, but in the splash and teaser it's made qutie clear that hestil has a whole host of demonic ravens i'd asume he's using them for recon, who knows the demon might be revealed to be the ravenqueen(recuring demon from various fantasy settings) or something like that which would make every raven on Runterra his eyes...
FireSnake He knows the same way Bran in GoT (Game of Thrones knows), his ravens tell him.
i know, i already metioned the ravens in my post :D
FireSnake no there are two kings in the lost isles karthus and Mordekaiser
Garen + Galio = Gario
Gold Wade basically galio in a japanese accent
9:59 or maybe Garen has magic powers and he didn't realise it yet.
i thought the same if magic gets passed on through generations it would be weird if lux had it but he not, maybe his regeneration isn´t so ingame after all and he uses it without him noticing
Oli Hoisl yes. However, wearing Petricite armor would suppress his magic expression skills.
All I can think of is that his magic is the kind of enchant that makes him stronger (apart from his physical training).
Also, his magic (obviously) isn't anywhere near compared to that of Lux's. He can walk around Demacia without feeling the urge to keep his magic secret, unlike Lux who goes to Galio in order "not to explode" because of suppressing her magic in her body and not expressing it with spells.
Itsa me, Gario!
Yago Albert lmao
he dont have absolute knowledge... he is ripping secrets from people together with his souls. when he rips on himself he say "i already know that" meaning he cannot learn nothing new from himself
I strongly believe that the king in the mist is the Ruined King, andthe marching king is Mordekaiser, since it is confirmed that Mordekaiser was a brutal tyrant from times before Noxus and Demacia. Also, Mordekaiser is the only undead that is separated from The Mist and has his own army of undeads (at least that is what I remember. Please, correct me if i'm wrong). I almost forgot that in the twisted treeline, when you capture the East altar, the Voice says "My king, release me and let me serve you" or something like that.
Spot on damnn
These interactions are triggered by him collecting soul fragments, which probably contain memories, granting him access to a huge wealth of knowledge, especially considering the fact that he used to march into battle. That's a lot of souls, that's a lot of memories, that's a lot of knowledge. Combind the soul collecting powers with his ability to simply use his Ravens as scouts explains why he knows so much.
Also I think Swain's first line for Katarina might be hinting that her father, Marcus, asked her to kill Swain. Perhaps he went missing shortly after, which is why she blames Swain for her dad's disappearance/death.
Gold Wade id say it might be garen who asked for it but i see how it isnt likely
I think the Katarina one is related to Garen maybe? They're supposed to be in love... so maybe he asked her to kill swain and switch sides?
Thats a real possibility too! I just think it's about garen because it seems every champ has something to say about that relationship when it comes to taunts and voice lines...
@@thegalathir i don't think so since he literaly told her he wasn't the one to kill him
i think the bilgewater quote is a hint at the nami comic with the voidrift in the ocean
Swain knowledge comes from crows that collect memories from corpses. And thing about lux 'she fell in battle' probably refers to that damacia is not using magic in battle but lux does so Swain sees that as she is bad warrior
He says the quotes when ripping a soul fragment from enemies, so I'd guess he can see into their Soul, Mind or Past by consuming a piece of their soul, his demon giving him vision all over Runeterra would be a little bit OP lorewise
EricThexD which is why Gallo had secrets, he doesn’t know them
If he sees from their point of view then he wouldn't be so sure about Ashe and the bow, would he?
I think that the other king that is marching in the mist would be mordekaiser
And as for the quote to Darius when Darius is an enemy, I do not think that is referencing anything actually canon. Swain sees the world as a chess board, trying to be two, three, four, five steps ahead of everyone else. So he would see Darius as a chess piece to be used and discarded when necessary. Swain knows that because of that, he will at sometime become an enemy of Darius. The quote is just him saying he is not surprised, and that he does not blame or think less of Darius for it, and that Daruis must "do as he must" in facing Swain in battle.
