Navori Fighting Pit is one of the cleanest Battlefield enablers revealed in Riftbound so far—especially if you’re building around buffs and board momentum.
Slotted near the end of the Preview Season as card 293/298, it’s part of that late-game Battlefield core that’s meant to reward assertive board control without being gimmicky.
This is a card that quietly says: if you’re showing up to fight, you better bring muscle—or at least build it fast.
Gameplay / Cool Mechanics
The text is deceptively simple:
“When you hold here, buff a unit here. (If it doesn’t have a buff, it gets a +1|+1 buff).”
At first glance, this might seem like a win-more effect—but the nuance kicks in when you realize this Battlefield works just fine as a setup zone.
It enables early trades by passively stacking value, and if you’re running a deck that cares about holding positions or triggering buff synergies (hello, Piltover or Ionia builds), it becomes a tempo machine.
You don’t have to overcommit to get value. Just holding Navori Fighting Pit means your units walk in lean and walk out mean.
Especially good for 1- and 2-cost drops that normally fall off by Turn 5.
The real tech play? Use it to stack minor buffs before shifting to other Battlefields that care about powered-up units. Or cycle through with blink effects to refresh and re-buff.
Visuals
The art matches the gameplay vibe—tense, theatrical, and loaded with aggression.
Fighters square off under blood-red leaves, the pit lit by the flickering glow of an unseen crowd.
The framing is close, like you’re on the sidelines of a pit fight in progress, and that blurred depth-of-field makes the central action pop.
There’s movement. Energy. You can feel the shouting. You can feel the stakes.
Pull Rate & Value Speculation
Navori Fighting Pit is card 293 out of 298, placing it firmly in the final Battlefield cycle of the base set.
No confirmation yet on rarity or foil variants, but based on both gameplay potential and standout art, this one’s a strong candidate for a full-art showcase or alt treatment in future printings.
If buff-based decks pick up in the early meta, expect Navori Fighting Pit to see steady inclusion and slow upward creep in value, especially among collectors who chase battlefield foils to complete their zone sets.
