Kiting..., Questo sconoscuto

How To

While kiting may come as second nature to some, it can nontheless be pretty micro-intensive during some battles, especially if you have multiple control groups of units to move around. There are several different ways to kite, although they are all pretty similar in execution.

Let's say you want to retreat back with your Stalkers, all the while shooting at the incoming enemy Zealots. You want to right-click a bit behind your Stalkers right after their first attack. After this you want to try and time the Stalkers built-in attack cooldown and interrupt your retreat at the right time to immediately shoot another volley at the Zealots.

This command can be done by, for example, pressing P (Patrol) + left-click on the ground where you originally right-clicked. The Stalkers will "Patrol" the area, and since Zealots are in range, they will immediately fire at them. After that you simply rinse and repeat. Note that the Stalkers will not focus fire a selected target with this execution.

Kiting can also be done with the A (Attack) + left-mouse click, H (Hold) + right-mouse click or simply right-clicking an enemy in between the retreat intervals.
