Gameplay
- Each player starts out in a small base at the edge of the map. Each base has a shop and a secret shop, an indestructible tower and a fountain.
- In the middle of the map is the Midas Throne, around the edges is a river with rune locations, and some high ground walking paths.
- Players near the Midas Throne receive faster gold and experience gains. (There is a circle around the Midas Throne. Once you are in the circle your increase is initiated. You will not gain more by being closer to the throne versus the outside of the circle.)
- The Over Boss sits atop the Midas Throne, and throws out giant coins.
- Picking up the coin gives 300 gold.
- Killing the top rated player or a player in the leading team (the leader(s)) rewards a bonus 500 gold.
- Some rune locations have a group of zombies with them. They deal 32 damage, have 250 health, 3 armor and 120 movement speed. These zombies will keep following you around the map. They give 20-35 gold when killed
- All players gain vision of the area around each rune spot.

Tips
- Items can be shared with your teammates and be sold at shop.
- Use heroes with high nuking and escape potentials and can sustain long periods of battle without dying. Examples are Queen of Pain Hero Strategy Counters Equipment Gear Responses Sounds Lore Old Abilities Changelogs Queen of Pain 16 + 2 18 + 2 24 + 2.5
and Storm Spirit Hero Strategy Counters Equipment Gear Responses Sounds Lore Old Abilities Changelogs Storm Spirit 19 + 1.8 22 + 1.8 24 + 3 Level
.
- Don`t use heroes that rely on sheer item power or dependence on other creeps. Examples are Chen Hero Strategy Counters Equipment Gear Responses Sounds Lore Old Abilities Changelogs Chen 23 + 1.8 15 + 2.1 21 + 2.8 Level Base
.
- Abilities like Song of the Siren and Chronosphere can help you set up an easy item snatch.
- Spell immunity Spell Immunity Ally Interactions Enemy Interactions Default buff iconPlay Error sound “ Play Magic shall not prevail! Click to listen— Anti-Mage ” Spell immunity (formerly known as magic immunity) is a modifier
can prevent the item delivery knockback.
- Waiting out a battle and stealing the kills inside of it is a great strategy. Very little resources used and kills obtained.
Maps
- This game mode comes with 5 different maps. Each map has different team arrangements.
Map | Teams | Kill Goal |
---|---|---|
Forest | Solo/Free for all | 25 |
Desert | 2v2v2v2v2 | 30 |
Mines | 3v3v3 | 30 |
Temple | 4v4v4v4 | 50 |
Desert Quintiple | 5v5v5 | 50 |
Item deliveries
- Items are randomly delivered on the map.
- Delivery locations are indicated on the minimap The minimap is a HUD element that represents the game map on a smaller scale. It displays in real time the location and status of buildings, heroes, creeps, couriers and wards. The minimap is subject
with an icon.
- The fewer kills a team has, the better the item that team will receive from a delivery.
- Once the item arrives, a Flamebreak knockback is applied on the landing area.
Objective
- On the Forest map, the first player who reaches the goal number of kills wins.
- On team maps, the team with the most kills when the round ends wins.
- If there is a tie at the end of a round, the game enters Sudden Death mode.
- The team/player that then gains 1 more point than the current highest team/player will win.
- This means all players can still win, and not only the players that were tied at the end of the game.
Restrictions
- Some heroes and items cannot be used in Overthrow.
