Random Number Generation, or RNG, is a highly debated topic in almost every competitive video game genre.
In the context of lane-pushing arena battlers, RNG is typically minimized compared to card games or auto-battlers.

While developers strive to make AI as predictable as possible, the physics engine can occasionally create chaotic results.
To counter this, veterans always place defensive buildings in exactly the same specific tiles to guarantee consistent pulls.
