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.

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
The single greatest weapon you have when facing a massive health deficit in overtime is the opponent's own psychology.

If you maintain absolute, zen-like focus and defend their desperate attack perfectly, they are now completely out of elixir and their defense is shattered.
If your tower is at 100 HP, play as if it is at 4000 HP.They will spam laughing emotes to tilt you into giving up.Bait their final spell. The All-In Gambit
You are initiating a high-stakes base race, betting that your massive, unsupported offensive swarm can deal 3000 damage faster than their Rocket can fly across the screen.

It forces the opponent to panic, potentially causing them to miss their final spell or misplace their defense, granting you the miracle victory.
