Night Elf tempo slicing

He used militia to fill the gap, Footmen to block the trees, and a slight backstep from the Archmage to break the attack chain. By the time Selene thought she had forced real pressure, Nathan's expansion was already stabilizing. The difference was tiny, but it mattered. Ten more seconds alive meant another mine cycle. One less dead Peasant meant a smoother Upkeep transition later. Night Elf changed the rhythm. She kept cutting Nathan's outer economy with hero pressure and unit movement, forcing him to run between the main, the expansion, and the middle Creep Camps. Nathan had to use Staff and Town Portal again and again. But each time he made them count. Staff saved a dying Rifleman.
