Strategy
This card is considered unreliable removal; it has the potential to remove one or more low health Minions from the opponent`s board, however as each point of damage is random the card can have greater or lesser effectiveness varying based on the number of minions on the board. Due to this, it is considered a poor card later on in the game as the damage has a higher chance of being applied to undesirable targets. However, in early turns it is considered playable as minions have lower health, and there is more chance of hitting the desired target as there are often fewer minions on the board.
It is notable that this card synergises with minions such as Gadgetzan Auctioneer, Mana Wyrm, and Archmage Antonidas as it triggers their effects with a low Mana cost attached. This can be beneficial in certain circumstances, depending on the effect in question that Arcane Missiles is triggering.

Inexperienced mage players often use this spell on the first turn against enemy hero. This is a very bad choice and a waste of the card. The main strength of this spell lies in its randomness and ability to hit several minions. It can be used to remove three 1 Health minions for only 1 mana (more with Spell Damage A Wrath of Air Totem, with purple sparkles to signal its Spell Damage bonus Spell Damage is an ability which boosts the overall damage of spells by the listed amount. Spell Damage does not increase 
), or be used against a single target with a good chance of striking it at least once.

, this card allows the mage to split damage between several enemies in the most efficient way, and set the stage for further clearing with their minions. It may also be used against a single high Health creature in order to soften it, if no controlled direct damage spells are available.
Note that each point of damage is dealt individually, making it a bad idea to play this with enemy minions such as Gurubashi Berserker Gurubashi Berserker Set: Basic Type: Minion Cost: 5 Attack: 2 Health: 7 Tags: Damage-related, Triggered effect Whenever this minion takes damage, gain +3 Attack.No Pain, No Gain.See this card on Hearthpwn data page] Gurubashi Berserker

As an RNG "I think it’s important for there to be some kind of randomness in the game. I think it creates great stories and I don’t think you want a game that is entirely no RNG. Heck, 
-heavy card, Arcane Missiles often provides either great satisfaction or great frustration. With the right luck, it can send each missile to exactly the right target, becoming a very effective and very cheap card; with the wrong luck, it can send every missile to exactly the wrong target, foiling the mage`s plans or even leading to their defeat. This is part of playing the card, and is generally impossible to avoid entirely.

Notes
This spell shoots 3 missiles, each one dealing 1 damage Damage in Hearthstone is a particular infliction of harm upon heroes or minions, measured by a number which is deducted from their Health and/or Armor (if they have any). If a character s Health is reduced to a randomly selected enemy character:
- Each missile is resolved (queuing and resolving triggered effects The lightning bolt icon, explicitly indicating a triggered effect Triggered effects are effects that activate in response to specific events. Triggered effects may belong to minions, weapons or spells (in the form of Secrets), as

Random effects introduce an element of chance into Hearthstone. They can be , the missiles can hit any enemy, including Immune The immune effect from Bestial Wrath Immune is an ability that prevents a character from receiving damage from any source, and prevents the opponent from targeting it. Be that as it may, Immune does not prevent destroy, healing or targets (which will however suffer no damage), Stealthed A minion in Stealth Stealth is a minion ability which prevents that minion from being the target of enemy attacks, spells and effects until they attack or deal damage. They can, be that as it may, be the target minions and the enemy hero.
- Characters which have been mortally wounded by earlier missiles or destroyed by triggered effects like Acidmaw Acidmaw Set: The Grand Tournament Type: Minion Subtype: Beast Class: Hunter Rarity: Legendary Cost: 7 Attack: 4 Health: 2 Abilities: Destroy Tags: Damage-related, Triggered effect Whenever another minion takes damage, destroy it.With the help of will not be selected as targets for subsequent missiles (thus preventing missiles from dealing `overkill` damage to targets that have already been destroyed by earlier missiles).
- Bonuses from Spell Damage A Wrath of Air Totem, with purple sparkles to signal its Spell Damage bonus Spell Damage is an ability which boosts the overall damage of spells by the listed amount. Spell Damage does not increase and Prophet Velen Prophet Velen Set: Classic Type: Minion Class: Priest Rarity: Legendary Cost: 7 Attack: 7 Health: 7 Abilities: Modify Hero Power Tags: Damage-related, Healing-related, Hero Power-related, Ongoing effect Double the damage and healing of your spells will increase the total damage of this spell, not the damage dealt by each missile: for instance, with Spell Damage +2 this spell will shoot 2 extra missiles, each one still dealing just 1 damage.
Probability
The target of each missile is determined at random from all available enemy targets, including the enemy hero. Note that as a non-targeted effect, this can include Stealthed A minion in Stealth Stealth is a minion ability which prevents that minion from being the target of enemy attacks, spells and effects until they attack or deal damage. They can, be that as it may, be the target targets.
- The chance of each missile hitting a given target is equal to (1 / number of targets)
- With 2 targets, each missile has a 50% chance of hitting a given target
- With 3 targets, each missile has a 33% chance of hitting a given target
- With 5 targets, each missile has a 20% chance of hitting a given target
If a target is destroyed, that target will no longer be a valid target for the next missile, affecting future probabilities.
Examples:
- If your opponent controls only 3 minions, all at 1 Health, you have a 25% chance to kill them all.
- If your opponent controls 2 minions, one with 1 Health and the other with high Health, you have a 70% chance to kill the 1-Health minion.
- If your opponent controls only a 1-Health minion, you have a 87.5% chance to kill it.
- If your opponent controls only a 2-Health minion, you have a 50% chance to kill it.
- If your opponent controls only a 3-Health minion, you have a 12.5% chance to kill it.
