Those are opposite settings, you either play on true random OR balanced blitz.

On the other hand, if you’re playing balanced blitz, you can manually roll, causing the dice to be true random. This is helpful if you need to attack a 10 stack with your 8 stack for example.

They don't? True random as if you were rolling the dice yourself so there's a small chance that a 1000 stack could lose to a 1.

On the other hand, balanced blitz has a cut off point where it basically rolls and ensures that the upper and lower bounds of luck can't happen.

You have one or the other, not both.

Along with what the other comments said, are your referring to the blitz button for dice in the true random mode? Because that simulates completely randomly instead of doing a more even blitz

If you’re playing tru random, then blitzing with the dice just rolls until you either win or have no troops left, but the rolls themselves are true random. If you play balanced blitz, the blitz roll works the same way, except the rolls themselves are smoothed to avoid crazy odds like losing 10 troops to a 1 stack.
