A Guide to Pulling in City of Heroes 

There are times in City of Heroes, or City of Villains, where a little subtlety will help you avoid debt and speed you to a successful conclusion of a mission, instead of a team wipe.  An example of this is when you approach an area to find out that it has several groups of enemies all tightly packed together.  If you rush in then most likely you will be attacked by all groups present.  At low difficulties this is seldom a problem, but at higher difficulties, or if your party has many sidekicks/lackeys then this will most likely have bad consequences.

What Pulling is

Very simply it is the art of attracting the attention of a small number of enemies (preferably one) so that they can be fought successfully away from the main group.
