Kiting means moving between attacks so you keep dealing damage while maintaining distance. Players also call the rhythm orb walking or attack-moving.

How does it work?

Issue an attack, move after the projectile or hit is committed, then attack again when the timer is ready. Moving too early cancels the auto; moving too late lets the enemy close the gap.

Does attack move do it automatically?

No. Attack move can simplify target selection, but good kiting still requires range awareness, attack-speed timing and tracking enemy gap closers.

How to practice

Start on a stationary practice target, then add movement and different attack speeds. Accuracy matters more than spamming inputs.
