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.
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.
By ensuring a healthy mix of low-cost cycle cards, they guarantee they will always have some form of defense.
- Never run a deck that is too heavy.
- Try to fix your rotation safely.
- Accept that sometimes you will lose to a lucky start.
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.
| Battler Category | Level of Luck |
|---|---|
| Auto-Chess | Luck is the primary factor in individual matches |
| Standard Tower Rush | Matches are decided by placement, timing, and resource tracking |
Embracing the Chaos
Getting angry at a bad starting hand only causes you to make further mistakes and lose the match entirely.
Focus on improving your timing and placement, and let the RNG sort itself out in the long run.
