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.
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.
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.
- Don’t panic if your starting hand is bad.
- Move on to the next match quickly.
The Unpredictable AI
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.
| Genre Type | Level of Luck |
|---|---|
| Auto-Chess | Extremely High – Relies entirely on shop rolls and item drops |
| Standard Tower Rush | Matches are decided by placement, timing, and resource tracking |
Embracing the Chaos
Getting angry at a bad starting hand only causes you to make further mistakes and lose the match entirely.
Over the course of a thousand games, the luck factor completely evens out for everyone.
