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.

• Balance your average elixir cost.
• Try to fix your rotation safely.
• Accept that sometimes you will lose to a lucky start.

The Unpredictable AI

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.

The Mental Game

The most important skill regarding RNG is learning how to control your emotions when luck inevitably turns against you.

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