In *League of Legends* (*LoL*), the latest minigame, Demon’s Hand, introduces an exciting card game experience where Sigils play a crucial role in enhancing your gameplay. These Sigils are small stones that provide various bonuses, making it easier to defeat opponents and progress through the game. You can equip up to six Sigils at once, each with unique effects that either boost your hands or weaken your opponent, helping you maintain your health. The effects of Sigils are automatically triggered when you play a hand that activates them.

The strategic placement of Sigils in their box can be vital, especially when facing different opponents. On the map, you'll notice that each opponent may have a unique effect that can influence your cards or Sigils. For instance, some effects might alter how your cards' suit values contribute to damage, or reduce damage if you play fewer cards than a set number. More critically, certain opponents can deactivate your first Sigil, rendering the one in the top slot of your box ineffective during the battle. To counter this, consider rearranging your Sigils before engaging in combat to ensure that the deactivated Sigil isn't one you depend on for dealing damage.

Acquiring Sigils in Demon’s Hand is straightforward. You can purchase them at the Sigil Shop, which is marked by two coins on the map. When you visit these locations, you'll be presented with three Sigils of varying strengths and prices. If the options don't suit your needs or budget, you can refresh the shop for one coin to view a new set of Sigils. Additionally, if your Sigil box is full and you wish to make room for new ones, you can sell unwanted Sigils at the shop.
Understanding and utilizing Sigils effectively can significantly enhance your experience in the Demon’s Hand minigame in *LoL*. If card games aren't your thing, keep an eye out for the upcoming April Fools skins, which will soon be available on Summoner’s Rift.
