536: (Z) In battles with more than a row and a half (12+) roaches or stalkers, don't use focus fire with the whole army. It requires 10 roaches to one-shot a roach or 11 to one-shot a stalker. Instead, attack-move the army and box-select 10 or so of your roaches and focus fire with them. Target full health stalkers with a selection close to 11, target already damages stalkers once your selection begins shrinking due to friendly deaths. This prevents wasted shots, while still giving the benifits of focus fire in medium sized conflicts. Optionally, select a row and a half and use shift-focus fire (start targeting those closest to your box selection, and end with one closes to your un-boxed roaches, which will have taken damage from them, achieving a hopefully similar result) and return to macroing.

537: (P) In battles with three or more rows of stalkers, don't use focus fire with the whole army. It requires 17 stalkers to one-shot another stalker or roach. Instead, attack-move the army and box-select about two rows (16) of stalkers and focus fire with them. Target full health enemy units when you have more than two rows of stalkers. When units begin dying and the number drops below two rows, target units already weakened by your other stalkers. This prevents wasted shots, while still giving the benifits of focus fire in medium sized conflicts. Optionally, select two rows+ and use shift-focus fire (start targeting those closest to your box selection, and end with one closes to your un-boxed stalkers, which will have taken damage from them achieving hopefully similar result) and return to macroing.

538: (P/Z v T) It takes 14 stalkers (almost 2 rows) to 1-shot a marauder. It takes 9 roaches (just over 1 row) to 1-shot a marauder. Use in combo with the above for a similar effect.

539. (P) : Lifting up an infestor who has casted Neural paraiste will end the effects of Neural Parasite.
EG: Infestor Neural Parasite's Collos

393. A higher APM will come naturally if you improve your macro and thus your ability to remember to do alot of simultaneous actions. Spamming doesn't help.


This is completely false. Spamming helps you check-out your buildings and warm-up your fingers to be more reactive. As well, APM increase less by time, if you want to increase your APM significantly, you need to train it specificly by concentrating your mind on only being the fastest possible.

This is false, SCVs can only repair mechanical units.

540: (X) Watching professional players in tournaments or during streams can be a good way to discover new builds or keep up with the metagame.

541: (X) If you start getting angry, stop playing ladder matches. You will not perform at your best when angry/stressed/frustrated.

542: (T/P) Camera lock your mineral patch to F1 and the main area in your base to build stuff to F2 and make macro a breeze. Press F1 to go to your minerals, select worker, press F2 to go to where you want to build stuff, build building, press F1 to return to your minerals, shift-que your worker back to minerals Takes a bit to get used to but becomes quite efficient once you get it down.

537 and 538 are both wrong....marauders/roaches and stalkers are armored units hence stalkers do 14 damage to each of those instead of 10...requires actually less shots to kill each of those units (note that there are also naturally 1 armor for each of those units so that is also a factor)

Why post something that is not only completely wrong, but utterly useless even if it was true. Btw, I've confirmed that Destructible Rocks can NOT be repaired.

I have no idea why you say it would be useless, i mean if you can repair rocks you can actually protect your bases MUCH easier (Shattered Temple for example).

543 : you can lower the spaming delay when you hold a key. This alows you to just hold 'F' and click x times to do a ton of forcefield, or warp 10 zelots in 2s. Control Panel -> Keyboard -> delay before spam (something like that, english isn't my native language)

Which will have more effect on the rocks ? The incoming army trying to destroy them or a few SCVs repairing them, when they could be mining instead ? It's really a silly thing to try, if you give it any thought whatsoever.

544 : When a tech-kab is attached to a building (be it a Barracks, Factory or a Starport) and research is being carried out, the building can actually lift off and cancel the said research.

(It happened to me when I was researching BF for my hellions and spammed the "L" key near completion... needless to say that i gg'ed not soon after ).

546: As Zerg. If you want to stop enemy worker follow your scout. Make extractor trick on any closest vespene geyser. It will stop following command of enemy worker, that was attached to your scouting drone. Enemy player will must click on your drone again with his worker.

One word. Enemy worker stop follow your drone, if this drone did extractor trick.

I don't think this has been mentioned earlier in the thread and I just kind of thought of it. Seems kinda handy, probably not useless, but certainly not game-changing.

(Z) Tip: Eggs can be rallied directly into overlords (with transport upgrade) to make setting up a drop just a little easier. I assume morphing banelings can as well, although I didn't specifically test the banelings. Shift-queue overlords to load up more than one. If you assign the overlords to a control group, you can simply recall that control group and send them on their way to destruction with little effort.

This also works with other races, but given the more expendable nature of Zerg units, it seems more usable.

Tip #548 (P): While warping in units, you can give them commands to execute after they have finished warping in. Ie. A-move, or move to a specific location. You can also order them to load into a Warp Prism.

Hopefully this wasn't posted before!

Tip: (TvT) In Viking vs. Viking battles, instead of the normal pulling back of damaged units, with Vikings, just land the damaged ones.
