The presence of luck-based mechanics in a strategy game can be both a blessing and a massive frustration.

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

Starting Hands and Card Rotation

The most prominent RNG element in card-based battlers is the initial four cards you are dealt at the start.

Professional players build their decks specifically to minimize the chances of a truly unplayable starting hand.

Never run a deck that is too heavy.Don't panic if your starting hand is bad.Accept that sometimes you will lose to a lucky start.

Unit Targeting and Pathfinding

Another subtle layer of RNG comes from the slight inconsistencies in how the game's AI handles pathfinding.

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

Embracing the Chaos

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

Focus on improving your timing and placement, and let the RNG sort itself out in the long run.
