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
The most prominent RNG element in card-based battlers is the initial four cards you are dealt at the start.

By ensuring a healthy mix of low-cost cycle cards, they guarantee they will always have some form of defense.
Flexibility is a skill.Know what they are holding.It prevents matches from feeling perfectly scripted. 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.

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

Focus on improving your timing and placement, and let the RNG sort itself out in the long run.
