Random Number Generation, or RNG, is a highly debated topic in almost every competitive video game genre.

However, it still exists in subtle ways that can completely alter the outcome of a very close match.
The Luck of the Draw
The most prominent RNG element in card-based battlers is the initial four cards you are dealt at the start.

Professional players build their decks specifically to minimize the chances of a truly unplayable starting hand.
Always include at least two cheap defensive options.Cycle your cheapest cards in the back.Move on to the next match quickly. Troop Movement Quirks
Sometimes a unit will retarget unexpectedly due to a micro-movement by another troop, completely ruining your defensive setup.

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

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.
