If your tower is sitting at 300 hitpoints, and the opponent's tower is completely untouched at 3000 hitpoints, the logical part of your brain assumes the match is already over.

However, the arena battler genre is infamous for generating some of the most spectacular, mathematically improbable comebacks in esports history.
The Arrogance of the Lead
The single greatest weapon you have when facing a massive health deficit in overtime is the opponent's own psychology.

This impatience leads to massive over-commitments of elixir. If you have any concerns relating to wherever and how to use tower rush, you can get in touch with us at the internet site. They might drop 10 elixir at the bridge, convinced it will break through your defense.
Do not panic.Mute the opponent immediately in overtime.Bait their final spell. The Hail Mary Play
This means completely abandoning your own defense, accepting that your tower will fall in a few seconds, and throwing absolutely every drop of elixir you have at the enemy King tower.

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

Winning a match that you dominated from the first second is satisfying, but it is ultimately forgettable.

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