Some Darkin Questions

Would a full powered Rhaast be able to kill Asol? If the void invaded would the Darkin help or be indifferent? Does Rhaast have wings like aatrox? Can we finally get a Darkin event?

Rhaast wouldnt be able to kill Asol. The Darkin are Ascended beings who used blood magic to turn themselves into Darkin so they are more powerful than a ascended but not a Star Dragon.

The Void is what they fought in Icathia which caused them to get PTSD and go insane after Azir's death having them become Darkin in the first place, Aatrox would probably kill it with the rest of the world because he wants death and believes killing everything will let him finally die, Rhaast might kill the Void for the fun of it, and Varus Im not sure of because hes not really that much of a focus since Riot wants to focus on his hosts more also turning him into a Darkin without a proper VGU or Ezreal level VU doesnt really connect him to the Darkin as much as Aatrox and Rhaast especially since Varus has no new voice to give Darkin interactions to show his intent.

No Rhaast does not but I suppose he could with blood magic. All ascended are turned partly into a animal, Azir is a bird, Nasus a dog, Renekton a crocodile, yet Xerath is not one due to him messing up the ritual and getting overloaded with magic. But the 3 known Darkin arent said what animal they were in the story Twilight of the Gods it talks about some other Darkin who are described with what animals they are partly, which I cant remember fully but one was a cat, snake, wolf, etc. Theres many debates on what they are but what I see is Aatrox could be a dragon or owl which can explain why he has those giant wings, so its possible for Rhaast to give himself wings but they are probably based off what animal they once were.

I hope so. Perhaps when the last 2 Darkin come out Riot could give us a event giving the 5 Darkin skins based off the ascended they once were not sure how they'd do that with Kayn though.

  1. I dont think so. Aurelion can literally destroy the whole planet if he wanted to.
  2. I guess that it depends on the Darkin, Aatrox would help the Void i guess.

Aatrox "I stood against the void. Now... I would welcome it." https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/5/51/Aatrox_398.ogg/revision/latest?cb=20180612213348

  1. No, he doesnt have wings. Darkins were Ascended like Renekton or Nasus and they dont have wings as well... some had wing, some did not.

Sol completely wipe out an area super easily. He already killed a former pantheon (a targonian ascended) because he got mad. No human, even if they ascend can even get close to him in term of power.

Each darkin is unique and have his own feature. Darkins are former shuriman ascended that got corrupted by the void and then changed their bodies with blood magic to grow stronger. Some other know shuriman ascended are : Nasus, Azir, Xerath. I gave you the examples to explain that they can be super different in shapes and powers. So I don't think that Rhaast have wings, but it's still a possibility.

For the void part, shuriman ascended were actually made to fight the void. But they got corrupted by it and went crazy. Since they became too dangerous, humans had to seal them in their own weapons. So they want their revenge now since their own people betrayed them. They might help the void in their current state. But they might also help humans against it since they know how dangerous it is.

I think the others have answered most of the questions well, but I think the "Void invasion" question is up in the air. It would probably depend on the individual if they fought against the Void or not. Aatrox wants everything dead so he can finally die (this is what he thinks will allow him to die) so maybe the Void is an answer for that. But then again, the Darkin were corrupted in the first place due to the mental toll fighting the Void caused. So it could be so instilled in every Darkin/Ascended that they absolutely abhor the Void, maybe even fear it. Maybe Aatrox would allow the Void to do its work, or maybe he thinks it needs to be destroyed too along with everything else. We won't know for sure until each character is faced with the choice of what to do against the Void again.

As for the event, yes I want it too! There are so many parts of the lore that would be great for a proper lore event and the Darkin are one of them!
