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.
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.
Never run a deck that is too heavy.Try to fix your rotation safely.Move on to the next match quickly.
The Unpredictable AI
Sometimes a unit will retarget unexpectedly due to a micro-movement by another troop, completely ruining your defensive setup.
Leaving a slight margin for error in your defensive placements is the best way to handle AI unpredictability.

The Mental Game
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.
