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.

Professional players build their decks specifically to minimize the chances of a truly unplayable starting hand.
Always include at least two cheap defensive options.Don't panic if your starting hand is bad.Move on to the next match quickly. The Unpredictable AI
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.

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