Essential Mechanics Tips

1

Master Last Hitting

Practice last hitting in demo mode. Each hero has different attack animations and base damage.

2

Understand Damage Types

Physical damage is reduced by armor, magical damage by magic resistance. Pure damage ignores both.

3

Control Creep Aggro

Attack-click enemy heroes near creeps to draw aggro, then immediately cancel to manipulate creep position.

4

Use High Ground Advantage

Uphill attacks have 25% miss chance unless you have True Strike. Use this for defensive positioning.

5

Animation Canceling

Cancel attack animations after damage point to move sooner. Practice this to improve farming efficiency.

6

Stack Neutral Camps

Pull neutrals away at :53-:55 seconds to stack camps. This multiplies farm efficiency for your team.
