10 Viktor Overcomes His Weakness With Science

Part of Viktor's interest in this research is in the hopes that it will lead him to a cure for the fatal sickness he developed from living among the fumes in the Lanes. Towards the end of Season 1, he finds some manner of success in his endeavors, curing some of the frailties of his body, but at a heavy cost.
9 Silco Had The Cunning To Match His Ambition
There is no doubt that Silco is one of the most dangerous people in all of Zaun, capable of cowing some of the most powerful underground figures without having to lift a finger. His skillful manipulation of Jinx turned the once shy and anxious young girl into a chaotic killer, and he has some of the most threatening characters under his command.
While he is certainly a powerful figure in his own right, Silco relies on others to accomplish his goals and is not a fighter himself.
8 Deckard Was A Shimmer-Enhanced Monster
Originally nothing more than a street kid working for Silco, Deckard didn't have many prospects when it came to his future. After he failed Silco one too many times, he was given the choice; wind up dead, or become a living experiment for Singed's Shimmer concoction.
Choosing the latter, he was then transformed into a monstrous creature while under the effects of the Shimmer and seemed addicted to it without. The enhanced strength and ferocity he displayed while under its effects made him a terrible foe for most.
7 Sevika Was A Powerful Enforcer
Set up as Silco's most trusted lieutenant, Sevika was both a skilled fighter and loyal to her boss, even when presented with evidence to make her question his competence. This loyalty helped steer Silco through some of the biggest internal threats he faced in his takeover of Zaun.

Her ferocity and toughnessas a fighter were also very impressive, as she was able to take on Vi numerous times, even coming out on top on some occasions. Armed with his Shimmer-fueled blade, this enforcer was a strong threat for any who dared cross her or her boss.
6 Caitlyn Has Both Accuracy& A Keen Mind
Despite her noble upbringing, Caitlyn Kirraman decided to pursue a life of service rather than luxury. She developed her impressive marksmanship skills as a young woman and became entranced by the idea of joining Piltover's peacekeepers underGrayson's influence.
While her abilities with her rifle are certainly impressive and make her a dangerous combatant in her own right, it is her keen intellect and dedication to duty that makes Caitlyn a formidable foe for any who would threaten the peace in her city.
5 Jayce Is A Brilliant Inventor With A Big Hammer
Caught up by the idea of magic ever since he and his mother were rescued from death by a strange figure wielding powerful arcane skills, Jayce Tallis would go on to become one of Piltover's most important figures, an esteemed politician, and prolific inventor.

Though he begins the series as something of an entitled Academy student, his rise to fame and power would soon bring Jayce to the forefront of Piltover's leaders with the invention of Hextech. Armed with a powerful, transforming Hextech hammer, he also becomes a strong fighter capable of taking on dozens of Silco's enforcers while taking down a Shimmer production facility.
4 Ekko Survived& Thrived Despite The Odds
Ekko, the snappy young boy viewers met at the beginning of the series, would be forever changed byVander's loss, and the deaths and disappearances of his friends. He was a survivor though, and more than that, he became a leader and figure of resistance against Silco's takeover of the Lanes, offering a safe place for the lost and disenfranchised.
As theFirelights' leader, Ekko is crafty and skilled, capable of using his own technology along with his wits to overcome his foes, and proves to be a match even for the wild and dangerous Jinx.
3 Vander Commanded The Respect Of The Entire Underground
It would take a person of incredible caliber to earn the respect of the Lanes, and the only person to truly achieve that was Vander. Where Silco ruled through fear and intimidation, it was Vander's confidence and strength of arms that brought peace where there was none before.

That peace wasn't easily earned, however, and Vander was not always a pacifist. In fact, he was a man who knew how to use his fists, and use them well. Armed with a pair of heavy iron gauntlets, Vander was one of the strongest fighters in all the Lanes, his only weakness coming from the love he felt towards those under his protection.
2 Jinx's Unpredictability Makes Her Incredibly Dangerous
Though she was once a quiet and kind-hearted young girl named Powder, under the influence of Silco, that girl would grow up to become a force of pure chaos and violence, capable of killing without a second thought and even dragging an entire city into a devastating war.
Using her clockwork inventions and massive gun, Jinx wreaks havoc wherever she goes, pulled forward by her whims towards whatever goal is currently occupying her fractured mind.
1 Vi Is Tough, Smart,& Will Never Give Up
Taking more after her surrogate father than anyone else, Vi learned from Vander what it meant to be a protector, and though she became hardened by the tragedies that befell her, she still retained that part of her throughout it all. Her morals weren't the only thing she learned from Vander, and Vi would eventually come to surpass him as a fighter, able to overcome her foes through sheer grit and determination.
She would become even more powerful when she acquired a set of Hextech gauntlets that further enhanced her already-formidable capabilities.
