Behind the colorful graphics and intense gameplay of every successful arena battler lies a complex, invisible mathematical engine.

While this conspiracy theory is widespread, the reality is much more mundane and focused entirely on mathematical fairness.
The Elo System Adapted
Most modern strategy games utilize a modified version of the Elo rating system, originally designed for professional chess.

If the system matches you perfectly, you should mathematically have a 50% chance of winning every single game you play.

By artificially capping all card levels to a specific number, the algorithm can rely purely on the Elo rating.

The algorithm is blind; it only respects victory.
