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.
The Luck of the Draw
Your starting hand is entirely random, which can immediately put you at a massive disadvantage against an aggressive opening.

Once the initial hand is played, the rotation becomes fixed, and pure skill and memory take over.
Flexibility is a skill.Track the opponent's rotation after the first cycle.It prevents matches from feeling perfectly scripted. Unit Targeting and Pathfinding
Another subtle layer of RNG comes from the slight inconsistencies in how the game's AI handles pathfinding.

To counter this, veterans always place defensive buildings in exactly the same specific tiles to guarantee consistent pulls.

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