Last Hitting & Denying

What is Last Hitting?

Last hitting means dealing the final blow to an enemy creep to get gold. This is how you earn most of your gold in the early game.

•Melee Creep: ~35-40 gold

•Ranged Creep: ~40-48 gold

•Siege Creep: ~66-80 gold

1.Watch the creep's health bar

2.Time your attack to land when HP is low enough

3.Consider your hero's attack damage and animation

Denying means killing your own creeps (when below 50% HP) to:

•Deny gold to enemies

•Deny experience to enemies

•Control lane position

•Practice in Demo Mode: Use the last hit trainer

•Know your damage: Check your attack damage

•Watch the creep aggro: Enemy creeps will attack you

•Use abilities wisely: Some heroes can use skills to last hit

•Quelling Blade: +8 damage vs creeps (great starting item)

❌ Attacking creeps too early

❌ Not watching enemy hero position

❌ Forgetting to deny

❌ Standing in creep wave (taking damage)
