The Importance of Micro-Interactions in Tower Rush
They see the massive Golem pushes, the spectacular Lightning spell finishes, and the dramatic overtime conclusions.
A micro-interaction is a highly specific, localized engagement between two units that lasts only a fraction of a second.
The Art of the Pull and Kite
The most fundamental micro-skill in the entire game is the ability to 'kite' an enemy melee unit across the arena.
Executing this perfect kite requires intimate knowledge of movement speeds, sightlines, and server deployment delay.
You should be able to drag any unit to the middle without thinking.A large unit like a Giant can physically block smaller units from pathing correctly.The 'split placement' is crucial for swarms.
Advanced Geometry
Another incredibly advanced micro-interaction involves physically pushing units using the mass of other units, known as 'body blocking'.
Similarly, you can use stun mechanics (like the Zap spell or Electro Spirit) to force an enemy unit to instantly forget its current target and acquire a new one.
