PvP Comeback Mechanics
Quick answer: Three comeback mechanics: (1) Lifesteal cascades (Blood Drain crits restore 2× HP — class-defining). (2) Ultimate timing (save tier-5 until enemy commits to burst, then turn the tide). (3) Opponent over-commit punishment (shield turn 3 when they pop ult). Don't concede until HP=0.
Lifesteal cascades
Vampire Blood Drain on crit restores 2× damage as HP. Stack lifesteal runes for snowball potential.
Ultimate timing
Tier-5 ultimates have 6-8 turn cooldown. Save until enemy commits to their burst rotation. Turn = comeback.
Over-commit punishment
Enemy popped tier-5 turn 2? Shield turn 3 (absorb their burst). They're now without ultimate; you're at full power.
Don't concede early
Until HP=0, comeback is possible. New players concede at 30% HP — rookie mistake.
Practice scenario
In bot duels, deliberately let bots get to 70% HP advantage. Practice climbing back. Builds muscle memory.
