You are no longer playing a game of slow, methodical advantages; you are playing 'Sudden Death', where the first player to destroy a single tower wins the match instantly.
This article analyzes the absolute best cards to have in your rotation when the Overtime clock begins ticking down.
The Spell Cycle Enders
In Sudden Death, if the opponent's tower is below 1000 hitpoints, the most reliable and competitive strategy is 'Spell Cycling'.
If you know your opponent's tower is at 550 health, and you have a Rocket in your hand, you have already mathematically won the game.
You must play perfect defense for a full minute to pull this off.If the opponent is spell cycling you, you must pressure them so heavily they cannot afford to spend 6 elixir on a spell.Poison is risky in Sudden Death because it takes 8 seconds to deal its full damage.
The Surprise Attackers
The opponent must guess exactly which tile he will pop up on to defend him; if they guess wrong, the Miner gets two or three guaranteed hits, which is often enough to secure the win.
In Sudden Death, speed and unpredictability are vastly superior to raw stats and massive hitpoints.
