Random Number Generation, or RNG, is a highly debated topic in almost every competitive video game genre.
In the context of lane-pushing arena battlers, RNG is typically minimized compared to card games or auto-battlers.
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.
By ensuring a healthy mix of low-cost cycle cards, they guarantee they will always have some form of defense.
- Balance your average elixir cost.
- Cycle your cheapest cards in the back.
- It happens to everyone.
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 | Randomness Impact |
|---|---|
| Auto-Chess | Extremely High - Relies entirely on shop rolls and item drops |
| Standard Tower Rush | Matches are decided by placement, timing, and resource tracking |
Accepting Randomness
The most important skill regarding RNG is learning how to control your emotions when luck inevitably turns against you.
Over the course of a thousand games, the luck factor completely evens out for everyone.
