My rank is about 1.5k, and it has been for a really long time. The reason being is that my late game is strong af but I don't know how to kite so I usually get hurt big time in my early game. Could someone give me a walkthrough on kiting with archers/fire elementals? I've gotten really close but I can only do it against earth elementals as their attack animation takes 3 years so I can just make my archers run in a little circle. Thank youuu :)

Video tutorial :D

The idea is that pressing g makes your archers shoot backwards. However that means your archers will go to garrison meaning they will just run away. So you command your archers to move to a closer area so they can shoot again, then you shoot using g.

Keep in mind simply spamming g doesn't work. The archer also reloads his arrow, if you shoot while he's reloading no arrow will come out. So you have to watch carefully as to when he's finished.

Thank you for the tips. I practiced kiting with my friend. More fun to do with fire elementals :DD

try to space your ranged units that kite and poke out of range. by the way you can kite forward as well: select a ranged unit that kites, move forward, target an enemy unit, and repeat.

Well, practice basic kiting first. Then ask us how to forward kite XD.

BUT, sometimes the archers will turn around but won't shoot, but i don't kno if that is due to the lag (my computer is getting bad) or i somehow figured how to break the game even if its as simple as pressing ''g''. :3

Might be from someone pming you during the game, always reselect after a re position after a g kite.

OR you didn't wait until the archer finished reloading and you pressed g. If you do that then the archer won't shoot. If you do it properly the archer will shoot backwards 100% of the time.

No, im pretty sure it doesn't take the archers more then 10 seconds :P
