Random Number Generation, or RNG, is a highly debated topic in almost every competitive video game genre.
However, it still exists in subtle ways that can completely alter the outcome of a very close match.
Initial Deck Shuffling
If your opponent rushes the bridge and all your cheap defensive counters are at the bottom of your deck, you lose the tower.
Once the initial hand is played, the rotation becomes fixed, and pure skill and memory take over.
- Always include at least two cheap defensive options.
- Cycle your cheapest cards in the back.
- Move on to the next match quickly.
Unit Targeting and Pathfinding
While developers strive to make AI as predictable as possible, the physics engine can occasionally create chaotic results.
Leaving a slight margin for error in your defensive placements is the best way to handle AI unpredictability.
| Battler Category | Level of Luck |
|---|---|
| Drafting Games | Luck is the primary factor in individual matches |
| Standard Tower Rush | Matches are decided by placement, timing, and resource tracking |
The Mental Game
The most important skill regarding RNG is learning how to control your emotions when luck inevitably turns against you.
If you are stuck in a lower arena, it is because of your fundamental mechanics, not the random number generator.
