Line traces can be great tools when needing to get information from hit objects or to understand other relational data through a raycast.

MoveComponentTo is a really simple function inside the Kismet System Library for moving components to different locations inside an actor.

Event Dispatchers are great to communicate between components. In this example the event dispatcher updates the player's health bar.
Just like Event Dispatchers, delegates are a great way to communicate with different actors and classes throughout the program.
Timelines are extremely useful throughout game development and provide a lot of utility in Unreal.
Interfaces are great to use when you need different actors listening for event calls.
Creating an interface can be fun and simple in UE5 and definitely be valuable tool while programming game logic
I wanted to highlight something I thought was super cool inside Epic's Action RPG example of how they created a bobbing potion inside the material.
