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

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

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.
• It happens to everyone.

Troop Movement Quirks

While developers strive to make AI as predictable as possible, the physics engine can occasionally create chaotic results.

Relying on a unit's aggro range down to the exact pixel is risky because tiny bumps can alter their trajectory.

Embracing the Chaos

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

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