Players constantly argue over whether randomness adds exciting unpredictability or ruins the integrity of esports.

In the context of lane-pushing arena battlers, RNG is typically minimized compared to card games or auto-battlers.

The Luck of the Draw

Your starting hand is entirely random, which can immediately put you at a massive disadvantage against an aggressive opening.

By ensuring a healthy mix of low-cost cycle cards, they guarantee they will always have some form of defense.

• Never run a deck that is too heavy.
• Cycle your cheapest cards in the back.
• It happens to everyone.

Troop Movement Quirks

Sometimes a unit will retarget unexpectedly due to a micro-movement by another troop, completely ruining your defensive setup.

Leaving a slight margin for error in your defensive placements is the best way to handle AI unpredictability.

The Mental Game

Getting angry at a bad starting hand only causes you to make further mistakes and lose the match entirely.

If you are stuck in a lower arena, it is because of your fundamental mechanics, not the random number generator.
