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
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.
Always include at least two cheap defensive options.Cycle your cheapest cards in the back.Move on to the next match quickly.
Unit Targeting and Pathfinding
While developers strive to make AI as predictable as possible, the physics engine can occasionally create chaotic results.
Relying on a unit's aggro range down to the exact pixel is risky because tiny bumps can alter their trajectory.
