Random Number Generation, or RNG, is a highly debated topic in almost every competitive video game genre.
+
Understanding exactly where randomness factors into the equation allows top players to mitigate its negative effects.
+The Luck of the Draw +
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.Accept that sometimes you will lose to a lucky start. +Unit Targeting and Pathfinding +
Another subtle layer of RNG comes from the slight inconsistencies in how the game's AI handles pathfinding.
+
Relying on a unit's aggro range down to the exact pixel is risky because tiny bumps can alter their trajectory.

The best competitors accept the chaos, focus on what they can control, and outplay the opponent regardless.
+
If you are stuck in a lower arena, it is because of your fundamental mechanics, not the random number generator.
