Well, larva is one of the most used examples with mutas because it can't move. A sieged tank defending your mineral line would be a good choice. Pros to tend to use ovies beause they utilize all their larva and the ovies move slow enough that they probably won't make it to the opponents based to get sniped. | ||

A sieged tank defending your mineral line would be a good choice. A good idea, but unfortunately I don't think you're going to have a siege tank with siege mode out that early (that is, in your wraith attack timing). Better to just trap an SCV somewhere if you really want to stack the wraiths so badly. afaik though, wraiths can be microed pretty gosu without stacking them with magic boxes. | ||

If you're going to do that, I recommend you not waste an SCV by trapping it; rather, save yourself 50 minerals and just select an SCV that's building something along with your wraiths. That way, the SCV will continue building, your wraiths are stacked, and you don't lose 50 minerals. (Mind you, it does take some reasonable micro- if you don't check on your base every sixty seconds or so, you could be in trouble.) XD | ||

To micro wraith vs scourge, you patrol ontop of your wraiths. Say you're flying away, P, click your wraith group, then move away again quickly. Your wraiths will spin around, fire, and keep moving. Its fairly easy and rapes scourge O_O. | ||

Although I don't know if MBS allows the selection of buildings and units at the same time... I don't know about buildings, but mineral patches certainly work for stacking. Also, because wraiths unstack much less easily than mutas there's usually no need to find a trapped unit. | ||

Also, once you have siege mode, which you'll usually have around the time you've accumulated around 4-6 wraiths, simply use a sieged tank in your wraith control group. But if you can trap an SCV in your build early on, that is ideal. | ||

In fact, just skip building wraiths altogether -- build your Super Shuttle straight away, wait for his mutas to pop out, pick THEM UP and use them for micro. GG. | ||

ok, as i last check, floating building moves faster than overlord, so it's not viable i think | ||
