- Gameplay Guides - Issue #13: Keeping Track of Information in Battle - 3 June 2025
There’s a lot of information available to you when you’re in battle, and knowing where to look for it can sometimes be the difference between victory and defeat! You can always look at what remains in your Draw Pile. Keep in mind that the cards will not be in order unless you have a certain Relic that gives you that advantage. Similarly, you can see what’s in your Discard Pile. Again, they won’t be in order. You can even see what’s in your Burn Pile if you have one! If you want to see your full deck all at once, you can find that on the top right corner. This is available to you even when you’re off the battlefield and exploring the map! Speaking of the map, you can see that even when you’re in the middle of taking down Warhounds or some other deadly beast. This is nice in case you want to decide how soon after a fight you might get to heal in case you want to make some strategic decisi…
- Gameplay Guides - Issue #12: Making Use of the Card Rack - 6 May 2025
The Card Rack is one of Sigil’s unique features that really acts as a game changer! It’s very frustrating depending on that singular, perfect card draw that will get you out of a sticky situation, right? We’ve all topdecked the exact thing we’ve needed once or twice in our lives, but the reason that is so memorable is because it almost never happens. But that’s where the Card Rack comes in! To place a card in the Card Rack, you must pay its mana cost. This does not count as playing the card, so any effects that take place upon play (such as Burn effects) do not trigger. Once a card is in the rack, it is inaccessible for the rest of the turn in which it was placed there. But from the next turn onward, not only is it playable, but it’s free. Well, ok, not free, I guess since you already paid for it, but the point is that you don’t have to pay for it again, and that means that you can stac…

- Gameplay Guides - Issue #11: How to Use the Environment to Your Advantage - 4 March 2025
We already wrote about the different character effects twice, but now you can learn how you can engage with some of those same effects—whether it’s on your or your enemies—by taking advantage of the battlefield’s environmental features. No spells needed! Bushes (Armor) Bushes are a great boon to you and enemies alike! Standing in a bush gives a character extra protection, granting them 4 armor at the end of their turn. Puddles (Vulnerable) Where bushes give a boost, puddles go in the other direction—while standing in one, a character is afflicted with Vulnerable! This means they will take 50% more damage! This only applies while a character is actively standing in the puddle, so it’s important to avoid ending your turn with your feet wet. Luring an enemy into a puddle, however, can have some exciting results for your Champions aiming to take them down. Spike Switches (Damage) A well lai…
- Gameplay Guides - Issue #10: Character Effects Explained (Advanced) - 18 February 2025
We already went over several effects that can affect your Champions or their enemies, but here are a few more to familiarize yourself with that are a little trickier to work with: Poison Poison damages a character equal to its stack at the start of their turn. Not only does Poison stack—it sticks around. The Poison stacked on a character will only decay by 1 each turn. That means if there is 5 poison on one of your Champions, they’ll take 5 damage at the start of your turn. The next turn, assuming no more poison was added onto the stack, it will decay by 1 and the Champion will be damaged by 4 next turn, then 3 and so on until all the poison has decayed off of them. Immunity Immunity is also stackable and sticks around, but unlike Poison, it doesn’t decay. The way to knock of Immunity stacks is to be hit with something Immunity protects from. For instance, if an enemy has 2 Immunity sta…

- Gameplay Guides - Issue #9: Character Effects Explained (The Basics) - 3 September 2024
Armor Armor is something that protects your Champions and their enemies. Until the armor on a character is destroyed, they won’t take damage to their health. Be aware, however, that armor only lasts for the turn it is applied. This doesn’t work in your favor when considering armor placed on your Champions, but it is helpful to keep in mind when an enemy has a huge pile of armor protecting them. Sometimes it’s best to hold off on using your attacks until they’ll actually hurt their health total; you just have to wait until the next turn when that armor melts away. Provoke We wrote before about how to tell which Champions your enemies will prioritize attacking . Well, Provoke will throw all that out the window. When you Provoke an enemy, it forces them to prioritize the Champion who Provoked them! There’s one caveat, however. If they cannot reach the Champion who provoked them for some re…
- Gameplay Guides - Issue #8: Enemies Don’t Keep Secrets (Part 2) - 2 July 2024
We already discussed how you can see enemies' next ability, preferred targets, and attack range, but there is one more very important detail you can learn from enemies when clicking on them. Take note of the small cards below the battle area when an enemy is selected. These are all of the enemy’s attacks and abilities. No surprises here! As long as an enemy is selected, you can mouse over any of their cards and see exactly what it does. Enemies always play their cards in order from left to right, and when they reach the end of their cards, they will start back at the leftmost card and go in the same order again. Since mousing over the enemy shows us that they will be using the middle card on their next turn, we know that after that, the card to the right of that will be used. Keeping this in mind can really help with planning ahead in the game. The only variation in card order comes fro…
- Gameplay Guides - Issue #7: Enemies Don’t Keep Secrets (Part 1) - 4 June 2024
Enemies in Sigil are smart, but not smart enough to keep their plans to themselves! If you click that pretty blue button to the right of the map, you’ll be able to see in what order the bad guys will attack or use their abilities. Not only that, but you can see *who* they plan to attack as well! Mousing over an enemy will show you their attack preference with a very clear 1, 2, and 3 written across your Champions. If they can’t hit their first target, they’ll aim for the second and so on. If *everyone* is out of their range, they’ll simply reposition themselves and their attack is otherwise wasted. An astute observer might also notice that mousing over an enemy shows an ability card over to the left as well. This is the enemy’s next attack. Use this knowledge along with their attack preferences to protect your most vulnerable Champions however you can, whether that’s repositioning them…
- Gameplay Guides - Issue #6: Temporary Vs. Permanent Acquisitions - 7 May 2024
It may be a little confusing in the beginning to understand what things last from battle to battle and what things only apply during the current fight. Here are a few of the most important ones to be aware of: Damage Health you lose during battle doesn’t come back automatically. There are some cards and Relics that heal you, and of course campfires are always an option, but the damage you take in battle will otherwise follow you to all future fights on the map. An exception to this is when a Champion dies on the battlefield. After you leave the battle, they will be revived with a portion of their health restored. Additionally, once you defeat each map’s boss, your entire team will be fully healed! Cards Cards added to your hand while out in the world, meaning on the map, in an event, purchased from the merchant, awarded after an encounter upon the death of a Champion, or found as treasu…
