I made this summary for someone who wasn’t gonna watch it cause they didn’t know what it was about and I feel like I should share, so here’s the entire season one summery

Act 1: The show begins with Vi(violet) and Powder(now known as Jinx), two sisters living in the undercity of Zaun(they’re really young rn). Their parents died from enforcers in a tragic and bloody battle between Zuan and piltover(the topside). Vi, powder, and other friends go on a mission at the beginning of the show to steal things from a topsider, but it goes wrong after powder messes with a blue glowing rock thing and it explodes. They run and enforcers go after them, and they end up loosing the stuff they got, and making big trouble with the topsiders. We also see this mysterious guy, Silco, introduced to be creepy looking, and we first see shimmer(a purple glowing drug liquid that makes you super strong and does other stuff too, it’s really bad) alongside the glowing blue rocks that creates all the problems in arcane. The enforcers come cause Vander(Vi and powder’s adoptive father) doesn’t give them up to the enforcers, and causes a tragic event in which their adoptive father, Vander, is killed in a skirmish with Piltover authorities. Vi is forced to take charge of the siblings' safety and they steal from the wealthy topsiders, but one such thriving mission goes wrong when Powder’s invention accidentally kills several people, leading to a rift between the sisters. Vi is forced to flee, and leaves Powder behind. Silco takes Powder in and becomes her third father, and cause she feels abandoned and is traumatized, she slowly transforms into the chaotic and unpredictable Jinx(she’s just super traumatized and has many mental problems. Her life kind of really fucking sucks, but at least she has Silco). Meanwhile, in Piltover, young inventor Jayce, with GIGANTIC help from his “partner”(gay ass mf’s), Victor, they developed a new form of magic using a substance called Hextech(gotta get that hexstrap to), a fusion of magic and technology that has the potential to change the world. This breakthrough attracts both praise and fear, as it could either elevate Piltover or destroy it (it destroys is if you haven’t already figured it out).

Act 2: As the story progresses, tensions between Piltover and Zaun escalate. Jayce and Victor’s success with Hextech catches the attention of political leaders, including the ruling council of Piltover, but he struggles with the ethical implications of his creation(he doesn’t do shit while victor does all the work). He allies with the brilliant(and really god damn old) scientist Heimerdinger, though their differing philosophies put them at odds.
In Zaun, Silco rises to power by exploiting the chaos and dissatisfaction of the undercity’s people. Silco presents himself as a savior to Zaun’s downtrodden masses, using Jinx as a weapon to further his own ambitions. Meanwhile, (the British and spoiled) Caitlyn gets Vi out of jail to do her work for her(useless bitch). Vi and Caitlyn(their gf’s), now work together and uncover a deeper conspiracy involving the ruling class of Piltover and the development of Hextech, leading to a violent confrontation with Silco’s forces.

Act 3: The conflict between Piltover and Zaun comes to a head. Jinx, now fully embracing her chaotic nature(she’s just really fucking mentally ill), becomes a dangerous force, manipulated by Silco to carry out attacks on Piltover(she’s doing this out of her own free will and lover for Silco. They’re trying to make him seem like such a bad guy but he truly loves jinx like his own flesh and blood daughter, he’s literally the only reason she has to live). Vi, Caitlyn, Jayce, and victor, are drawn into the battle, each dealing with their own internal struggles about loyalty, responsibility, and their role in the conflict(btw it didn’t mention the beautiful hottie Mel. She’s the ruler of Piltover and gets with Jayce, but Jayce doesn’t know he’s in love with Victor yet and that they’re meant to be(they actually are, I’m not just trying to ship them). but she’s still a baddie and becomes an even badder baddie in season two).
Vi finally confronts Jinx, hoping to reach the sister she once knew, but the trauma and bitterness Jinx feels make reconciliation difficult. Meanwhile, Silco’s plans to bring Zaun its independence from Piltover reach their climax, with tragic results.
The season ends with a cataclysmic event that changes the fate of both cities. The consequences of the choices made by Vi, Jinx, Jayce, Victor, Mel, and the other key figures shape the future of Runeterra. In a moment of reckoning, Vi and Jinx's sisterly bond is tested beyond repair, while the legacy of Hextech and its potential for both good and destruction looms large.

Hope this gets you interested in the show! Here are some of the characters mentioned
