The presence of luck-based mechanics in a strategy game can be both a blessing and a massive frustration.
In the context of lane-pushing arena battlers, RNG is typically minimized compared to card games or auto-battlers.
Starting Hands and Card Rotation
The most prominent RNG element in card-based battlers is the initial four cards you are dealt at the start.
By ensuring a healthy mix of low-cost cycle cards, they guarantee they will always have some form of defense.

Troop Movement Quirks
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
Getting angry at a bad starting hand only causes you to make further mistakes and lose the match entirely.
If you are stuck in a lower arena, it is because of your fundamental mechanics, not the random number generator.
