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
If your opponent rushes the bridge and all your cheap defensive counters are at the bottom of your deck, you lose the tower.
Once the initial hand is played, the rotation becomes fixed, and pure skill and memory take over.
Make the best play available with what you have.Remove the guesswork from the mid-game.It prevents matches from feeling perfectly scripted.
Unit Targeting and Pathfinding
While developers strive to make AI as predictable as possible, the physics engine can occasionally create chaotic results.
To counter this, veterans always place defensive buildings in exactly the same specific tiles to guarantee consistent pulls.

Embracing the Chaos
The best competitors accept the chaos, focus on what they can control, and outplay the opponent regardless.
Focus on improving your timing and placement, and let the RNG sort itself out in the long run.
