Random Number Generation, or RNG, is a highly debated topic in almost every competitive video game genre.

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

• Balance your average elixir cost.
• Don’t panic if your starting hand is bad.
• Accept that sometimes you will lose to a lucky start.

Unit Targeting and Pathfinding

The Mental Game

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

Over the course of a thousand games, the luck factor completely evens out for everyone.
