The Challenger Statue is the entry-level decoration for the Clan War League series, introduced in April 2019 to give more players a way to display their war participation. It costs 250 League Medals and requires the player's clan to have reached Gold League I. This statue is designed to look like a warrior just beginning their journey, standing firmly but without the elaborate armor or weapons of the higher-tier statues. It is a 2x2 item with a bronze-like finish that fits well with Town Hall 10 or lower aesthetics. Even though it is the easiest to obtain of the set, it still carries weight in the community because it shows the player is engaged in the League system and has chosen to spend their hard-earned medals on a permanent trophy. For many players, this is their first introduction to the idea of 'prestige items' in Clash of Clans. It is frequently seen in the villages of up-and-coming players who are proud of their first few successful War Leagues. Because it is a permanent shop item, players don't feel pressured to buy it immediately, but its low cost makes it a popular 'impulse buy' once a player has finished their primary laboratory upgrades for a certain level. It serves as the foundation of a CWL statue collection, and many players enjoy the progression of replacing it with the Contender, Master, and finally Champion statues as their clan climbs the ranks. It's a humble but significant symbol of a player's start in the world of competitive Clashing.
