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.
Flexibility is a skill.Track the opponent's rotation after the first cycle.Some RNG is healthy for the game.
Unit Targeting and Pathfinding
While developers strive to make AI as predictable as possible, the physics engine can occasionally create chaotic results.
To counter this, veterans always place defensive buildings in exactly the same specific tiles to guarantee consistent pulls.

Accepting Randomness
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.
