Hypothetical: what would happen if Jax picked up a Darkin weapon?

World King··53 votes·23,821 views

Let’s imagine Jax found the lost Darkin weapon, Laamp, and despite probably knowing the dangers, he has to pick it up and use it. How do you think Jax and the darkin weapon would get along, if at all?

Personally, I imagine the darkin weapon would be impressed as hell with Jax’s skill, and if Jax got tired of the Darkin spirit, he would just ring it out of the weapon like water from a wet washcloth.

What do you think would happen?

Sometimes I wish this was how the lore team did things, no lie.

No lie, if I was one the lore team I'd do shit like this.

Someone posts in M&G that Soraka mastered offensive banana magic under the teachings of Wukong's people?

I'd make that shit canon.

Now, my comrades, I must decipher the nuances of the English lexicon in order to sate my desire of becoming an accomplished literate in the bibliophile market. If I accomplish such a quest and gain considerate renown, the conscripting of my labor underneath the banner of Riot Games may be, indeed, possible.

I think you meant "nuances," but this works too.

Side Note: People have talked alot about Purified Darkin weapons, without any mention of what I would think would be the Obvious one.

I'm still banking on the theory that Sona's Etwahl is a purified Darkin or whatnot, though if it were to be that i'd love for the instrument to be renamed "Etwaahl".

Similarly, i'm still miffed about Varus not being renamed Vaarus. Y'all might wanna poll that to the playerbase at some point, see if they want all Darkin to go with the double-A thing.

Also; Laamp OP plz nerf.

In the lore it says the wielder can overcome the power of the Darkin Spirit and use its power as his own, if someone can do it, that would be Jax for sure.

The game would break.

And we would never imagine him with a real weapon again.

I feel like this could be an idea for an ultimate skin. Isn't top due for one anyway?

Picking up a Darkin weapon appears to be a battle of will, as demonstrated by Kai and Valmar. And there's the problem.

We know very little about Jax' mental state. He's been around since Icathia, but what has he been doing all the time? How much of the proud warrior is still in him? Is he just a broken shell of his former self, seeking a challenge to remind himself of the days that are long gone? Or is he training, preparing, for something big, like reclaiming Icathia? Or maybe he's just loafing around and tries to find some entertainment.

We just don't know.

If there is something that keeps him going, a reason why he has to live, I think he would be able to resist the Darkin corruption. If there isn't, it's probably still a struggle, but one that he is likely to lose.

Automated Riven2 votes

Who are Kai and valmir?

DerMangoJoghurt2 votes

You can read about them here if you're interested.

If you want the tl;dr: Kai and Valmar are a human couple currently occupying the same body as Varus. Each of them alone would not be able to resist the corrupting influence from Varus, but both of them together are able to persist and even take control over the body for short instances. Varus is currently searching for the other Darkin, while Kai and Valmar try to find a way to separate themselves from Varus.

I still hate what they did with Varus' lore. I think the whole vengeance for his dead family is way better than some weird warrior love bond thing

According to Jax lore, he's seeking the worthy for an upcoming fight to aid him. Then he finishes his boiled eggs and engages fiora

Honestly? I think they would bro down together. Jax would have full controle over the weapon, but would allow its demonic presence to prevail too, since he doesnt have to fear getting overpowered. SO basically, he would have a very powerfull talking weapon.

Like: "Hey Bro, wanna punch some dudes?" "Hell Yeah, I love to punch some dudes!" "Then Lets punch some Dudes!"

Jax with the Darkin Laamp would be lit.

He would make it feel bad by not calling it a real weapon and its sadness will overtake it and the darkin will become jax.

A lamp isn’t edgy enough for a vgu at riot, it’d be a tampon that Jax used to feel like the woman he feels like on the inside.

Jax : Suddenly imbued with the dark knowledge of the darkin. The only thing he does not now know about his weapon and the darkin is... would Laamp be prononced lamp, lawmp, or la'amp? Driven insane by countless sleepless nights, the Darkin known as Laamp now controls its host.

Bright Claws2 votes

I have some theories. But they could just be silly. If he picked them up they would some how be lifted by pure strength and be held in his hand. Another theory of mine is that if he were to pick it up the weapon would defy gravity by being swung around, in his grip, of course.

But honestly, if we're being real, I think if he were to pick it up with all lore aside he would most definitely use it as a weapon. I know. Its crazy. Totally not something that wold normally happen.

Ariel the Cruel2 votes

You know..... We only ever see Jax's hands. Who's to say he's not possessed by a Darkin already? It would explain why we continued to use the lamp after his weapon rights were returned. ;p

He's a void-touched Icathian in the new lore, and his lamppost is now something called the Last Light of Icathia. No ties to the Darkin seem feasible without overcrowding his character.

Read Laamp, let out a solid laugh. +1
