Jhin's armor on that arm is actually to protect his arm and joints from the recoil of the fully-assembled Whisper. I believe this was confirmed by August when discussing his model in game?

There's a interaction between Annie and Jhin in the new cards, where Annie would say "You've got a weird eye, Mr. Jhin!" To Jhin would reply "The better to aim with, my dear." So that's the reason why he's mask would cover he's right eye and I'm assuming he wants it to restrict he's breathing so he could aim he's gun better without any sway but he's still weird for constantly being in sniper mode.

The Bullets from the Maker are most likely infused with Illusion Magic. It was mentioned in the comic when Kayn touched one of his "Artworks".
He said something along the lines "Their face was folded like a flower with purple colors(something like this) but when I touched it, it just turned red on my fingers"

Fun fact “Was is sorrow or the bullet that broke her heart” is actually a line from a polish poem. The poem is called “Elegia o chłopcu polskim” by Kamil Baczyński.

For the interested this is how it looks like in polish: “Czy to była kula, syn­ku, czy to ser­ce pę­kło?”

A few things I wanted to mention. 1) The legion deserter was the legion marauder. Based on the marauder card interactions, we learn that he was not well liked by the rest of the army, as his actions reflected poorly upon noxus. Also they have the same voice and hair. 2) This is more headcannon but I wanted pose this question to gage how it would fit. Would Jhin having a connection with Kindred be a good idea or would it take away from both characters? The idea is something akin to a muse for Jhin as originally he was just a murderer, but upon seeing kindred in action, whether by one of their plays or in action, he was inspired to instill a similar level of awe from his "performances". After all, to quote Finishing Soates, "The end is not for those who wear no masks. She showed me, and it was beautiful".

Based from Jhin and Stagehand interactions I think the Stagehand is more like a Kamikaze. Infact she is an ephemeral card, which means she always dies at the end of the turn. So i think she dies from an explosion by herself, not from Jhin's bullet.

It is amazing how Riot is able to add new mysteries and information to a character with already a lot of lore.

[wynvernheraldofdragons]

For those who don't know what an overture is, it is, and I quote from Google, "an orchestral piece at the beginning of an opera, suite, play, oratorio, or other extended composition." In other words, Jhin's flavor text comes before the four other acts and is an intro to what came next. I assume that his other cards then come at the end for the finale.

I'm really happy to see Jhin's lore updated in LoR

[KoroHO]

The stagehand is actually some sort of kamikaze, explained on her two star mission on path of the champions, there Jhin asks her if she knows the next step and she confirms that her mission is to plant the bomb in the noxian camp and explode with it, Jhin even told her "For a brief beautiful moment you'll be brighter than any star"

[yauma]

Necrit i dont think the stagehand was tasked with planting a seed and then the Kashuri or Jhin killed her, based on Jhin interactions and level up card i think she was a suicide bomber. Jhin scripted theplay in a way that the stagehand is the final act in which she sacrifices herself.

[moicster]

Always stunned by how good they can tell stories over mutliple cards.

[dravendraven]

No matter who the maker is. There is one thing that matters. They are the most nihilistic human being in all of Runeterra. Just by making half baked copies of hextech machinery, and calling it art. That scares Draven. For Draven is the most nihilistic human being in all of runeterra.

[lightoftheheavens]

When the stage hand dies jhin aways says 4 which was his last shot leveling up

[Krankheit]

Jhin is THE BEST Champion in League and that although he was released in 2016

[niffry]

I just love Jhin. His design is a massive inspiration for me artistically, and his stories were the ones that originally peaked my interest in the LoL lore.

[samuelvalach]

I don't think The Maker is the new champion. But I wish she could one day become one. With the little bio we know about her I can imagine some of her spell. And I'm not even going to speak about her masterpiece.

[DragunnitumGaming]

9:22 i thought Master Kusho is the one who freed Jhin... and everything else in ionia is/was under HIS control

[mrhades]

This is what i love about the lore expanding potential LoR has, more of this please.

[demandro]

Now I want for Maker to meet Ornn for no particular reason. Just 2 craftsman having a talk, talking about crafting or something.
