Animation Cancelling

[d0minic]

I need help in Animation Cancelling. Heard that it involves shift key or something. Long animations such as Crystal Maiden Frost bite can be cancelled and make use of that little time and start to attack. Eg. Crystal Maiden cast frost bite ( instead of waving her wand or something ) she could straight away attack landing an extra 2 hits or something. This benefits those who has long animation, such as Pugna nether blast. I hope someone would answer my query and hope it benefits those gamers out there ^^

ur not answering his question






anyway.
in dota, or warcraft 3 for that matter.
Spells work this way, ill give u an example. Cm frostbite.
when ur in range of frost bite, and facing the target, and u have clicked on the target, u will cast ur spell no matter wad. [unless u press s]
the target gets frostbitten [spell takes effect almost immediately after u targetted the unit]
however, in tft, altho the spell effect has already come out, for beauty purposes the cm will wave her wand and complete the spell's "after effect casting time". so basically, the frost bite timer is running while ur still "finishing the spell"
u can basically jus spam attack or move in front after the target has been frostbitten, the spell will jus take effect.

this will apply to generally all hreoes with non-channelling spells [storm bolt, voodoo, fork lightning, god strength]

It does not work through shift click(waypoint) because waypoint is triggered to only perform its next move only right after performing its previous move, which means ur cm will cast frostbite...swing the wand for 2 sec to complete the spell then attack if u waypoint. Which is also why people use waypoint for sk's epi - blink , otherwise the sk will just shake its tail one time and blink liao

saves pulse

[SuZuKa]

press epic, hold shift click dagger den click the place u want him to blink to.... he will blink over immediately after epic is casted...

[Gee]

Well, like i said, the waypoint works by performing the action right after its previous, so if u waypoint for epi, u will blink it the instant u complete casting ur epi center, thus maximizing the time damage on ur enemy opponents. If u manaully do that..it will prolly take like 1 sec after u cast ur epi to blink to ur opponents.

i still dun get it. i suppose the purpose of his guide is to tell us what is the technique of biting and attacking straightaway

Animation canceling can be done with other spells as well. Like Poison Attack of Viper, Glaives of Silencer and Frost Arrows of Drow Ranger.

What you do is, you click on 'C' for example if you are using viper then click on the enemy, once you do that poison attack has already finished its cooldown so you can click on it again.

If you auto cast the spell, Viper will still do an extra animation which isn't necessary because the projectile has already been unleashed. If you animation cancel you won't attack faster, it will just help you chase and queue commands easier/faster.

[Archdevilasd]

not exactly.. you can also animation cancel if you auto cast.. same thing.. shoot le once projectile out you make it move...

or maybe it only works for noobs like me then is only i imagining it cancel but actually mine is shoot le then move .. i dunno O_O

Thats not animation canceling.... its slower than autocast attack...
u must move ground after u click c.... The purpose is to not waste the time to stay on the same place while yr attack cd, u can move nearer to the enemy and get more hits especially against enemy running away, animation canceling will get u more hits den to simply a-click or right click on the hero..

Isn't that what I just said?

I think I missed the clicking on the ground to chase part...

Well anyway, just always use animation canceling with auto-cast heroes.

[AhCat]

some heroes have slow animation but v fast tracking(enemy out of range but the shot still hits the enemy) like bone.

[miah121]

As you are about to attack, move forward abit. Animation cancelling is what makes heros like Viper and Silencer annoying.

[quincyzzx]

it is dumb...except for pugna

[quincyzzx]

for pugna jus walk in front n hold post n u will see yr enemy runing....loler

[KCobain]

animation cancelling is easy on heroes like furion, jus attack and hold attack hold.gay.
