The absolute pinnacle of this defensive micromanagement is the art of kiting.
Kiting refers to deploying a unit specifically to draw the attention (aggro) of enemy troops and lead them away from your towers.
By placing a cheap distraction precisely in the center, you force the enemy to walk towards it, taking fire from both of your towers simultaneously.
If you place your distraction too early, the enemy will ignore it and continue marching straight toward the lane tower.
Once you master the center pull, you can move on to the incredibly complex lane swap maneuver.
The enemy troops will chase the Ice Golem the entire way, taking massive damage from both towers without ever landing a single hit.
| Kiting Card | Enemy Type |
|---|---|
| Frost Giant | It absorbs damage while walking away, making it the perfect bait |
| Skeletons | They force the enemy to stop and attack three separate times |
Watching your massive, expensive army get completely dismantled by a two-cost unit is incredibly demoralizing.
Master the kite, and you will master the game.
