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.
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.
By ensuring a healthy mix of low-cost cycle cards, they guarantee they will always have some form of defense.
- Always include at least two cheap defensive options.
- Try to fix your rotation safely.
- It happens to everyone.
Troop Movement Quirks

The Mental Game
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.
