Players constantly argue over whether randomness adds exciting unpredictability or ruins the integrity of esports.
In the context of lane-pushing arena battlers, RNG is typically minimized compared to card games or auto-battlers.
Starting Hands and Card Rotation
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.

Unit Targeting and Pathfinding
Another subtle layer of RNG comes from the slight inconsistencies in how the game's AI handles pathfinding.
Leaving a slight margin for error in your defensive placements is the best way to handle AI unpredictability.
