Master the Demon's Hand Card Game in League of Legends

*League of Legends* has just rolled out an exciting new minigame within its client, and it's up for grabs until the end of April. If you've already delved into *Balatro*, you'll find the gameplay of Demon's Hand, the new card game in *League of Legends*, quite familiar.

League of Legends Demon’s Hand Set-Up and Getting Started

To dive into Demon’s Hand, ensure your *League* client is updated to the latest version. Once updated, click the Play button, navigate to the game type menu, and select Demon’s Hand. This will launch you into an engaging story introduction before dropping you into your first round of the card game.

On your screen, the bottom row represents your hand of cards. The bottom right corner displays your health, coins, and critical hit chance. Just above, you'll find the Sigil box, which can hold up to six active Sigils, though you start with none. Remember, health isn't automatically restored after battles; instead, visit tent locations on the map to recover a percentage of your health.

Your opponent is depicted by the card at the top of the screen, with its health shown in the bottom right and damage in the bottom left. To the left of the enemy card, an attack coin indicates how many turns you have until the enemy strikes. On the far left of the screen, a book icon lists all the possible hands you can play, along with their base damage for a standard round.

How To Play Demon’s Hand in League of Legends

To inflict damage on your opponent, you'll play poker hands, which are creatively named in Demon’s Hand but follow familiar poker rules. The pinnacle of hands is The Demon’s Hand, equivalent to a royal flush. Here's a rundown of the hands you can play, along with their poker equivalents:

  • Solo = High Card (10 Base Damage)
  • Dyad = Pair (20 Base Damage)
  • Dyad Set = Two Pair (40 Base Damage)
  • Triad = Three of a Kind (80 Base Damage)
  • Tetrad = Four of a Kind (100 Base Damage)
  • March = Straight (125 Base Damage)
  • Horde = Flush (175 Base Damage)
  • Grand Warhost = Full House (400 Base Damage)
  • Marching Horde = Straight Flush (600 Base Damage)
  • The Demon’s Hand = Royal Flush (2000 Base Damage)

The damage you deal includes the base damage of the hand plus the numerical value of the cards used. Be aware, if the enemy has an ability that negates a specific suit, those cards will be crossed out and their values won’t contribute to the total damage.

Spice Up Your Attacks with Sigils

Sigils add a strategic layer to your gameplay. You can purchase Sigils during store phases, marked by coins on the map, using the coins you earn by defeating enemies. Each Sigil offers a unique ability, visible when you hover over them in the store or during a round. Some Sigils enhance specific hands, like boosting the damage of Dyads, while others might grant you extra turns before the enemy attacks or reduce the damage you receive.

That wraps up your guide on how to play the Demon’s Hand card game in *League of Legends*. If this minigame doesn't tickle your fancy, keep an eye out for the upcoming April Fools skins to add some fun to your matches on Summoner’s Rift.

*League of Legends is available now on PC.*
