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.
Initial Deck Shuffling
Your starting hand is entirely random, which can immediately put you at a massive disadvantage against an aggressive opening.

Professional players build their decks specifically to minimize the chances of a truly unplayable starting hand.

Sometimes a unit will retarget unexpectedly due to a micro-movement by another troop, completely ruining your defensive setup.
