To use a Sigil, simply walk near it and the Synergy prompt will appear. Press your Synergy key or button, and the Sigil will be activated, providing you with a powerful, temporary buff. Sigils will re-spawn between each round within an arena, so don't be afraid to use them! The Sigils that will be available to you include:

Points for the Maelstrom Arena leaderboards are rewarded in multiple ways:
- You will be granted points every time you complete an arena.
