What Are Battle Arenas?

Every battle in Wild Clash takes place in an arena. There are four arenas, and three of them give a +10% stat bonus to animals of a matching category. The fourth — the Colosseum — is neutral.

This isn't a small bonus. That +10% applies to all six stats at once: Bite Force, Top Speed, Reflex, Intelligence, Weight, and Aggression.

The Four Arenas

Savanna — Land Bonus

The Savanna is home turf for Land animals. Every Land creature gets +10% to all stats here.

Best picks for Savanna: African Elephant, Siberian Tiger, Hippopotamus, Polar Bear

A Land-focused deck in Savanna is devastating. The African Elephant — already the heaviest land animal — becomes even harder to bring down. The Siberian Tiger's already-impressive bite force hits even harder.

Ocean — Sea Bonus

The Ocean arena turns Sea animals into absolute powerhouses. Blue Whale, Great White Shark, and Orca all get even more dangerous here.

Best picks for Ocean: Blue Whale, Great White Shark, Orca, Saltwater Crocodile

The Blue Whale in Ocean arena is nearly unbeatable in weight matchups. The Orca's intelligence, already among the highest in the game, pushes to dominant levels.

Sky — Air Bonus

The Sky arena is where Air animals soar. Speed and reflex stats that are already the best in the game get pushed even further.

Best picks for Sky: Peregrine Falcon, Golden Eagle, Harpy Eagle, Philippine Eagle

The Peregrine Falcon in Sky arena reaches absurd speed numbers. Air animals already dominate speed matchups — with the Sky bonus, nothing can keep up.

Colosseum — Neutral Ground

The Colosseum gives no bonus to anyone. This is where pure stats and strategy decide everything.

When to pick Colosseum:

When your deck has mixed categories
When your opponent has a category-heavy deck and you want to deny their bonus
When you're confident in your raw stat advantage

How the Math Works

The +10% bonus is a flat multiplier applied to every stat:

| Stat | Base Value | With Arena Bonus | |------|-----------|-----------------| | Bite Force | 1,000 PSI | 1,100 PSI | | Top Speed | 100 km/h | 110 km/h | | Reflex | 80/100 | 88/100 | | Intelligence | 70 IQ | 77 IQ | | Weight | 500 kg | 550 kg | | Aggression | 90/100 | 99/100 |

This can flip matchups. An animal that loses 3-4 stat categories on paper might win 4-5 categories with the arena bonus active.

Stacking With Elemental Advantage

The arena bonus doesn't exist in isolation. Wild Clash also has an elemental advantage system (Land > Air > Sea > Land) that gives +15% to all stats. These bonuses stack multiplicatively:

| Scenario | Total Bonus | |----------|------------| | Arena bonus only | +10% | | Elemental advantage only | +15% | | Both arena + elemental | +26.5% (1.10 × 1.15) | | Arena + elemental + max duplicates (10 copies) | +83.4% (1.10 × 1.15 × 1.45) |

A Land animal fighting an Air opponent in Savanna gets both the +10% arena bonus AND the +15% elemental advantage. That's over +25% to every single stat. This is why counter-picking arenas AND categories together is the highest-level strategy in Wild Clash.

Arena Strategy Guide

For Beginners

Start in the Colosseum. Learn how cards matchup on raw stats before worrying about arena bonuses. Once you understand base matchups, start experimenting with category-focused decks in their matching arenas.

For Intermediate Players

Build two deck styles:

Category-focused deck — 4-5 cards from one category. Dominant in the matching arena, weaker elsewhere
Balanced deck — Mixed categories. Competitive in every arena, dominant in none

For Advanced Players

Arena selection is a mind game. If your opponent expects you to pick Savanna (because you've been running Land cards), surprise them with a Sea-heavy deck in Ocean. The best players read their opponents and counter-pick both animals AND arenas.

Key Arena Tips

Extinct cards never get arena bonuses. They retain their original category but don't receive the +10%. Their naturally high stats often compensate, but keep this in mind.
Same-category battles in their arena are decided purely by base stats (both get the bonus, so it cancels out in relative terms). The arena bonus matters most in cross-category fights.
Arena denial is a valid strategy. If your opponent has all Sea cards, pick Savanna or Sky to deny their Ocean bonus.
The +10% scales with base stats. High-stat Legendary cards benefit more in absolute terms than low-stat Common cards. A Legendary in its home arena is the strongest possible configuration.

Arena Matchup Cheat Sheet

| Your Deck | Best Arena | Avoid Arena | |-----------|-----------|------------| | Mostly Land | Savanna | Ocean, Sky | | Mostly Sea | Ocean | Savanna, Sky | | Mostly Air | Sky | Savanna, Ocean | | Mixed/Balanced | Colosseum | Any (you're flexible) | | Extinct-heavy | Colosseum | Any (no bonus regardless) |
