Many players will simply throw their hands up, spam a 'Crying' emote, and stop playing cards entirely, allowing the opponent an easy, uncontested victory.

Because Overtime is sudden death—the first tower to fall ends the game instantly—a massive health advantage can be erased in a single, catastrophic mistake.

Punishing Hubris

When a player knows they only need one final fireball or one lone Hog Rider to win the game, they become incredibly arrogant and impatient.

This is your window: a perfectly executed counter-push can travel across the map and destroy their full-health tower in ten seconds while they helplessly watch their elixir bar refill.

• If your tower is at 100 HP, play as if it is at 4000 HP.
• Silence the noise.
• If you know they need to Fireball your tower to win, place your Musketeer far away from the tower so they cannot hit both.

Desperate Measures

If you are hopelessly behind in overtime and defending perfectly is no longer mathematically possible (e. If you want to find more information regarding tower rush check out our web site. g., they are just cycling Rockets at your tower), you must execute a 'Hail Mary'.

Even if you lose the base race, executing a Hail Mary is vastly superior to sitting passively and waiting to be destroyed.

Mental Fortitude

Winning a match in sudden death when your tower was sitting at 1 hitpoint for an entire minute is a memory that lasts forever.

It is never over until the crown shatters.
