The absolute core fundamental skill that separates the elite from the casuals is the ability to perfectly track the opponent's elixir.
You are making critical strategic decisions based entirely on blind hope rather than solid mathematical reality.
The Economy of Aggression
However, if you launch that exact same 8-elixir push when you know the opponent has only 2 elixir, it is mathematically impossible for them to stop it.
You create an advantage by making positive defensive trades (e.g., using a 3-elixir Arrows to kill a 5-elixir Minion Horde).
If they have 4 elixir, your tower is safe from a 6-elixir Rocket for at least 6 seconds.If they are at zero, they cannot immediately punish your 6-elixir Elixir Collector investment.If you know they have zero elixir, you don't need to spend 4 elixir to defend a dying 1-elixir skeleton.
How to Train the Skill
Tracking a constantly shifting number in your head while managing complex micro-interactions on the screen is incredibly difficult for beginners.
Eventually, this process will become completely automatic; you will instinctively 'feel' their elixir bar without having to consciously calculate the numbers.

The Invisible Scoreboard
Tower health is a deceptive metric; you can have full tower health and still be losing the game if you are down 5 elixir.
When you perfectly predict an opponent's inability to defend your push based purely on your mental calculation, you will feel invincible.
