There’s nothing Jon wants less than to be named King of the entire Seven Kingdoms. Daenerys said to him everyone enjoys what they’re good at, and he answered, “I don’t.” He’s never relished that though he certainly doesn’t want responsibility, even if he’s good at. He didn’t ask for the role of Lord Commander or King in the North, but he’s a natural leader people believe in and want to follow. The only “good” outcomes for Jon are terrible, unless he leaves it all behind. Neither will ever be truly safe so long as the other lives. The world will learn his secret, and his mere existence will always be a threat to her, whether they want to be together or not. Even if everyone agrees Daenerys should be queen, their relationship is likely ruined forever. If Daenerys dies, either in battle or because someone betrays her, Tyrion and Varys will try to place him on the Iron Throne, which he doesn’t want. If Cersei loses, though, and he survives, Jon will still find himself in a difficult position no matter what. Sansa and Cersei cannot co-exist in Westeros, and he’ll always protect his family. It’s a bittersweet possibility Game of Thrones could set up for Jon Snow.Īs long as Cersei lives and rules, Jon will be there to fight her.
“When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die.” What if you refuse to keep playing though? What happens if you choose to walk away from power and responsibility? You’ll live, and you might find happiness. Jon might still seek out a life of peace beyond the Wall, but he might also view it as the safest place he can go to keep the Realm safe. If it could corrupt someone like Daenerys it could corrupt anyone, and since he’s a Targaryen himself he might not even trust himself to avoid a similar fate. Could Jon walk away from the Seven Kingdoms after watching that destruction and leave Westeros in the hands of a monster? It seems almost impossible he would, but that doesn’t mean he won’t still leave if someone – himself included – kills her first.ĭaenerys cannot rule, that much is clear, but her descent into madness should also show Jon the perils of power. Just as Varys worried, her “coin” landed the wrong way, and hundreds of thousands died needlessly as a result. But we didn’t think he would be dealing with the fallout of Mad Queen Daenerys burning King’s Landing to the ground. There are plenty of opportunities for special events to collect these versions of Jon, each with unique ability designs that impact the game’s meta.UPDATE: Before “The Bells” we thought Jon Snow might walk away from the Realm at show’s end to find happiness beyond the Wall, rather than accept an Iron Throne he didn’t want. Jon Snow plays many roles: serving and leading the Night’s Watch, infiltrating the Wildlings, and fighting the White Walkers. Can we expect other hero versions of Jon Snow?Ībsolutely. Naturally, teaming him with Northern warriors will create the strongest squad. Jon can easily protect ranged units standing in the back or be teamed up with other front-liners to deliver outstanding blows to the enemy squad. He can be easily matched with different types of units. What sort of squad strategy can a player build around Jon Snow, King in the North? He can also perform a powerful “finisher” ability to deal increased damage to low-health enemies. What abilities can Jon Snow, King in the North use in combat?Īs an inspiring leader and skilled two-handed swordsman, Jon can inflict a high level of damage while boosting his allies’ capacities. We felt a responsibility to honor the character by making him a formidable warrior on the battlefield. Jon Snow is one of the most important characters in Game of Thrones and his ascension to King in the North is a pivotal moment in his hero’s journey.
