The presence of luck-based mechanics in a strategy game can be both a blessing and a massive frustration.

However, it still exists in subtle ways that can completely alter the outcome of a very close match.
Initial Deck Shuffling
If your opponent rushes the bridge and all your cheap defensive counters are at the bottom of your deck, you lose the tower.

Professional players build their decks specifically to minimize the chances of a truly unplayable starting hand.
Flexibility is a skill.Track the opponent's rotation after the first cycle.It prevents matches from feeling perfectly scripted. Unit Targeting and Pathfinding
Another subtle layer of RNG comes from the slight inconsistencies in how the game's AI handles pathfinding.

To counter this, veterans always place defensive buildings in exactly the same specific tiles to guarantee consistent pulls.

The best competitors accept the chaos, focus on what they can control, and outplay the opponent regardless.

Focus on improving your timing and placement, and let the RNG sort itself out in the long run.
