>>8244807well u see there's also gold that u get to buy new champions, reroll the pool of champions you have to buy from, or buy exp to get u closer to having more units on the field at once
this is important because u get 4 gold or something automatically after every round, but you get additional gold for every 10 gold u have in the bank up to 50. the winner of each round also gets extra gold for winning or more if they've won 3+ round consecutively
this means that while losing in a landslide early on doesn't mean you're necessarily going to get knocked out, winning a lot of rounds early means u get a lot more gold and especially if u win a lot without spending too much u'll start getting like 15 gold at the beginning of every turn to spend on more rerolls, champions, and experience
so basically early game is low risk for death but has high potential to snowball
