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.

Do not panic.Mute the opponent immediately in overtime.Bait their final spell. The Hail Mary Play
If you are hopelessly behind in overtime and defending perfectly is no longer mathematically possible (e.g., they are just cycling Rockets at your tower), you must execute a 'Hail Mary'.

These base races often result in literal photo-finishes, where both towers are destroyed within milliseconds of each other, decided by the game's internal server tick-rate.
The Miracle CardOT PotentialThe Freeze SpellThe ultimate Hail Mary; completely halts their defense for 4 seconds, allowing a lone unit to deal massive unexpected damageThe GraveyardSpawns skeletons randomly directly on their tower; highly unpredictable RNG can secure the final hit even through heavy defense The True Test of Character
Winning a match in sudden death when your tower was sitting at 1 hitpoint for an entire minute is a memory that lasts forever.

Fight for every single pixel of health, punish their arrogance, and steal the victory.
