Pit pre Oct 2020 update shows the Pit before the 26 October 2020 update
The Pit is a battle mode where any single card may only be used once throughout an entire week-long cycle. The player's entire card collection is used to defeat a series of 10 unique and resilient Pit bosses, advanced opponents which feature very high health that have three skills in addition to pre-configured synergistic squads. Rewards are based upon highest ever league and Challenge is based upon Army Power, a value not directly viewable in-game.
This game mode has a related shop, the Black Market.
Play
Starting a battle costs a Sigil. Players have three Sigils to begin with and attain a new sigil every 6 hours. New sigils can be purchased for 50 gems. Should a battle be interrupted, the Sigil is lost, and any damage and units used are no longer available in the Pit for that week.
In a Pit battle, the player's entire collection of cards is divided into four card decks corresponding to the four rarities. Only the top card of each deck is available to play at any given moment. If all cards of a rarity are depleted, then the respective card slot will acquire that of the next lowest rarity, or higher if there are none to pool from. A deck shuffle button allows players to change card options up to three times per battle.
An individual battle with a Pit boss is often short-lived due to their numerous advantages, and the player will often be defeated first. However, the damage dealt to a boss within a battle is saved, and fighting it again will resume with its maximum health capped at the level of the previous battle, allowing the boss to be gradually worn down and eventually defeated over multiple battles. Once a boss is defeated the next boss can be fought, stronger than the previous.
Army Power
A few things (namely, some rewards and matchmaking algorithm, ie: difficulty) are based on a hidden parameter called Army Power, which is related to the growth of all the units on player's deck.
This parameter cannot be read directly in-game, but it can either be calculated or read via Minotaur bot, present on main CW Discord : reach #bot-requests channel > link your Discord to your game account with command !link [USERID] > use the command: !astats (USERID optional).
Strategy
It is recommended to play mostly weaker cards for early bosses, because each card in a player's collection can only be used one time for per week. However, for some early to mid bosses, it can be advantageous for a player to lead with strong cards and finish with weaker cards once they have the advantage. This allows players to save sigils for later bosses.
Bosses from 5 or 6 and thereafter can be very strong and kill a player in the first 2 to 4 rounds of battle. When Pit Bosses can kill a player quickly, strong offensive cards and pets are useful to cause quick heavy damage to the enemy boss. Few players progress beyond boss #6 or #7 because it can take many sigils to beat mid to high bosses.
General advice:
- Warlords to consider: Jimmy (due to Rockerboys) and White Shaman (due to Reflective Totems)
- Guild bonuses can be applied before battles to improve the stats of your Warlord and units.
- Soul dust boosts can be applied to heroes in-battle.
- The card hand refresh button can be used up to 3 times to find other card options.
- The 'skip turn' button found in the gear menu can be used if you have a SOLID lead.
- Extra Sigils be purchased for 50 gems; economical when close to defeating a strong boss.
- Players can time a win in the Pit with the event stage that requires finding epic cards.
Rewards
Rewards in the Pit are based on a player's max ever achieved league (as of the Oct 2020 update).
Cards Rewards
The number of cards gained for defeating each Pit boss increase according to a player's max ever league at the time the cycle starts. Souls are awarded only when a boss is defeated. For planning purposes (such as for Events quests), such souls are awarded in a certain amount of chests. Below table contains total amount of souls per boss per league and the amount of chests they are divided:
Coins Rewards
The amount of coins gained increases according to damage dealt to the boss and difficulty (albeit the latter effect is quite slow to see). These are awarded at the end of each attempt. Relation is:
with:
- Coins: amount of coins awarded per attempt. They can be spent on Black Market
- Damage: amount of HP shaved (ie: the damage dealt to the boss) on that attempt
- CoinCoeff: a parameter which depends only on Army Power

Difficulty
Pit boss difficulty keeps pace with player advances in the game, such that it will be easier to beat the first bosses and difficulty will switch to challenging as player progresses. The Pit Bosses a player faces will get stronger in terms of their abilities, the units they summon and their overall hit points as a player grows in Army Power.
Rotations
Bosses are organized in specific lineups called Rotation cycles (or Rotations), that will cycle every time Pit is up. There are 3 possible rotation, each of them with 10 bosses. Underlined the ones that have different HP values if compared to other bosses on the same tier but different rotation (see paragraph below for further details):
Pit Boss Hit Points
The Hit Points (HP) for bosses depend on the Power a player has at the start of the Pit week. HP for bosses 4, 5, 6 and 8 show some differences based on rotation, while the other ones all have the same values.
