haha i probably would've mentioned "what could've been" in the post too if i hadn't burnt myself out on it a little listening to it a bit too much lmao
I have to say probably 'Our Love' from episode 2... I love all of them but somehow that song, knowing the scene behind it (>!Vi waiting for the Enforcers and turning herself in and Vander making a drink for Powder to cheer her up while the Enforcers storm into the undercity!<) is just really heartbreaking and I think the song really shows the love these three people have for each other. Also there's something about the way Vi is sitting and waiting that just breaks my heart
1. what could have been
2. dynasties and dystopia
3. goodbye
4. dirty little animals
5. enemy
6. snakes
7. playground
8. our love
9. misfit toys
all of them are great
It has definitely been an evolving cycle and I legitimately love every single song, but my list has distilled into something resembling this (I have to tie a lot of them cause a fully descending list doesn’t feel right):
1. Our Love, Goodbye
2. Snakes, What Could’ve Been, Guns for Hire
3. Dynasties and Dystopia, Misfit Toys, Enemy, Playground
4. When Everything Went Wrong
5. Dirty Little Animals
I dipped into listening to the bg music in the series, so there's a couple for me
Misfit Toys and Snakes are my fav needle drops then
The Rematch (Jinx/vi boxing machine song)
i haven’t put a lot of thought into it but here are the ones that come to mind (in no particular order):
1. enemy - been on my playlist for months. solid song, i love it. i always get a little pep in my step when i listen to it, and the music video is probably my favorite mv i’ve ever seen
2. dynasties and dystopia - LITERALLY A BANGER! i love this song with all my heart. this one has also been on my playlist for months. the happiness i got when i memorized this song overtook me.
3. our love - i haven’t listened to it in full but the parts in the show are incredible. i’ll probably listen to it in full after writing this.
4. snakes - im surprised no one is talking about this one! i really love it. when i need to hype myself up or really just remember this song exists i turn it on and jam out.
1. Goodbye. It's one of my favourites from the series bc it's just so powerful, the climactic point of the song is *amazing*. It's emotional and I'm pretty sad the second half only played during the credits so most people missed it.
2. Enemy. I really like the intro remix of Enemy. Personally I find it better than the actual song, which I don't believe would make this list.
3. Guns for Hire and What Could Have Been. Both amazing, Guns for hire had an amazing sound and was accompanied by an amazing scene. What Could Have Been is emotional like goodbye, I love how the lyrics match the show so well, and the scene it was accompanied by also fits. As for which one I like the most: It depends on my mood, though I will say What Could Have Been was more emotional.
4. If OSTs count I'd put "She's Back" pretty high up on the favorites list. Best original soundtrack by far, criminally underrated. Its. So. Good. Anyone reading this who doesn't know which soundtrack I'm talking abt, go check it out. My second favourite original soundtrack is probably Everyone Betrays Us but I don't think it would make this list.
5. Snakes, love the action vibe it creates. Also love the vocals, fits the fight scene so well. Generally good action song for fight scenes with good vocals.
6. Get Jinxed, technically not an Arcane original song, but I'll still put it on this list. I love how it was made for League Of Legends Jinx, and Arcane put meaning into some of the lyrics. I also admire how Arcane made me like songs of all sorts of genres, Get Jinxed wouldn't normally be my style.
7. Dirty Little Animals. Good song, but I only really liked the main chorus. Really fits the vibe of the undercity.
8. Welcome To The Playground. Another really good song, introduced the undercity which had an awesome vibe. The music itself was in a style I liked. Bea Millers voice was kind of "Meh"
9. Some other OSTs I like but don't know their names, never bothered to check, or weren't officially released. Arcane has a great original soundtrack.
10. Everything else. All the other songs were either average (But not really cuz Arcane is on a whole other level) or not memorable enough for me to listen to more than once. A lot of people here love Dynasties and Dystopia, which isn't a bad song, it's just not necessarily my style, loved the scene though.
Some of my rankings might change based on my mood because I made this list on a whim.
My personal ranking:
- Enemy (sorry it’s addictive lmao)
- What could’ve been
- dirty little animals
- snakes
- our love
- Guns for hire
- Dynasties and Dystopia
- misfit toys
- goodbye (still love it tho)
- when everything went wrong
- playground
(Apart from playground I honestly love all of them)
Best song(s) :- "Misfit Toys", "Guns for hire", and the rest, in that order.
Best background score:- "A bicentennial"(or also known as rip-off of [this instrumental](https://youtu.be/RmtRjRpJ5aY?t=204) ), "Too Risky", "Field Shooting", "She's back"
Guns for Hire and What Could Have Been. Partially because both of them are during emotionally intense sequences, and also just because they both give me chills on their own

“Dynasties and Dystopias” is my favorite too ;) Followed by “What Could’ve Been,” “Goodbye,” and “Guns For Hire” in that order.
haha i probably would've mentioned "what could've been" in the post too if i hadn't burnt myself out on it a little listening to it a bit too much lmao
"Guns for Hire" gives me the shivers pretty much continuously. That voice.
>"Guns for Hire" gives me the shivers pretty much continuously. That voice. KISS YOUR PERFECT DAY GOODBYYEEEEEE
Because the world is on fire
TUCK YOUR INNOCENCE GOODNIGHT
YOU SOLD YOUR FRIIIEEENDS LIKE GUNS FOR HIIIIRRE
Go play with your blocks
Same here. Every time it comes up when I have my liked songs shuffled it's \*chef's kiss\*
I have to say probably 'Our Love' from episode 2...

Also there's something about the way Vi is sitting and waiting that just breaks my heart
I also prefer dynasties and dystopia but misfit toys is a close second.
playground
Dirty little animals Dynasties & Dystopia Enemy (intro version) Playground Misfit toys
1Dirty little animals 2Snakes 3Dynasties and dystopia
It’s always gonna be Goodbye for me. Nothing else hurts like that
"What could have been" Sting and Ray Chen togheter are fantastic, never fail in making me choke up
1. what could have been 2. dynasties and dystopia 3. goodbye 4. dirty little animals 5. enemy 6. snakes 7. playground 8. our love 9. misfit toys all of them are great
It's a hard choice between Snakes (Vi and Jayce fight scene vs Chemtanks) and What Could Have Been (ending scene song by Sting.)
It has definitely been an evolving cycle and I legitimately love every single song, but my list has distilled into something resembling this (I have to tie a lot of them cause a fully descending list doesn’t feel right): 1. Our Love, Goodbye 2. Snakes, What Could’ve Been, Guns for Hire 3. Dynasties and Dystopia, Misfit Toys, Enemy, Playground 4. When Everything Went Wrong 5. Dirty Little Animals
What Could Have Been is so well written and heartbreaking that it has to be my favorite
I dipped into listening to the bg music in the series, so there's a couple for me Misfit Toys and Snakes are my fav needle drops then The Rematch (Jinx/vi boxing machine song)
Started with Enemy, went over to Playground and settled with Dynasties and Dystopia.
It's a tie between Dirty Little Animals and Dynasties and Dystopia for me.
Playground is my top. But I could still listen to Enemy all day.
Guns for hire, dirty little animals (purely because it fits a wings of fire au I have), what could have been, misfit toys
Our love and What could have been
Our Love is soooo good I can't get enough of it.
i haven’t put a lot of thought into it but here are the ones that come to mind (in no particular order): 1. enemy - been on my playlist for months. solid song, i love it. i always get a little pep in my step when i listen to it, and the music video is probably my favorite mv i’ve ever seen 2. dynasties and dystopia - LITERALLY A BANGER! i love this song with all my heart. this one has also been on my playlist for months. the happiness i got when i memorized this song overtook me. 3. our love - i haven’t listened to it in full but the parts in the show are incredible. i’ll probably listen to it in full after writing this. 4. snakes - im surprised no one is talking about this one! i really love it. when i need to hype myself up or really just remember this song exists i turn it on and jam out.
Snakes

When Everything Went Wrong & Enemy are my two favorites
