The series explores themes of family, class conflict, technological advancement, and the consequences of power. After a heist gone wrong, sisters Vi and Powder are separated, with Powder eventually becoming the chaotic Jinx while Vi becomes a hardened fighter seeking redemption. As Piltover’s elite pursue magical Hextech innovation and Zaun’s underground brews with chemtech experimentation, the conflict between the cities reaches a boiling point.
