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.
The Luck of the Draw
Your starting hand is entirely random, which can immediately put you at a massive disadvantage against an aggressive opening.

By ensuring a healthy mix of low-cost cycle cards, they guarantee they will always have some form of defense.

Another subtle layer of RNG comes from the slight inconsistencies in how the game's AI handles pathfinding.

Relying on a unit's aggro range down to the exact pixel is risky because tiny bumps can alter their trajectory.

The most important skill regarding RNG is learning how to control your emotions when luck inevitably turns against you.

If you are stuck in a lower arena, it is because of your fundamental mechanics, not the random number generator.
