This Starcraft 2 Terran build guide is your essential reference for Terran buildings and structures, with complete information on stats, upgrades, abilities and research. This is a vital knowledge base for any Terran Starcraft 2 online player.

Introduction

Full list of stuff I discussed in the video: Phoenix vs Phoenix +2 is 1 less shot, +2 is 2 less shots (they attack twice per shot). + 1 Zealot 2 shot Zerglin. Discuss the single player campaign, missions, and story for StarCraft II. Co-op Missions Discussion. Discuss the maps, Commanders, and strategies in Co-op Missions. Oct 28, 2020 Each armor upgrade increases the armor of a class of units by +1. Damage dealt by incoming attacks is reduced by the amount of armor so that every point of armor reduces the damage received by one point. For Protoss, this damage reduction is applied and is upgraded separately for Hit Points and Plasma Shields. Software Upgrade A Software Update is an incremental update of the Mac OS and its applications, Security Updates, device drivers, and firmware updates. For Blizzard games, it is important to download and install all software updates, as our games are designed for the latest version of the supported system requirements.

In Starcraft 2, there is a 'best counter' for every unit.

In this guide I will give detailed information for Terran players to counter every Starcraft 2 Zerg units.

Please keep in mind that this is a general terran unit strategy guide, it is based on pure unit statistics. So you must adapt depending on the situation in-game. For example, if I say that Vikings are the best unit counter against Mutalisks, don't go for Vikings if you haven't even started building a Starport as your opponent shows up with 6 mutalisks, you won't have time for that, produce marines and/or missile turrets instead and then build a starport if you manage to hold off the first mutalisk batch.

Stetzones

Stetzones provide bonuses for any of Stetmann or his ally's units that stand in them. What is ms point. Each Stetellite will spread a Stetzone within 8 range from itself. A Stetellite can only be deployed within a Stetzone. The Deploy Stetellite Ability is shown below:

AbilityNameDescriptionRecommended UsageNumbers
Deploy StetelliteDeploys a Stetellite at the target location. Stetellites must be placed within a Stetzone.
  • Use Stetellites to cover the battlefield and provide you and your ally with vision and buffs.
  • Stetellites can be placed in Super Gary's Stetzone.
  • Teching up to a Lair and Hive will provide you with more max charges and a reduced charge cooldown.
  • Cooldown: 25/20/15 seconds
  • Max Charges: 3/5/7

Stetzones can be operated in three different configurations. Configurations can be switched every 1 second, so changing configurations frequently is a key element of Stetmann's gameplay. These modes are listed below:

AbilityNameDescriptionRecommended UsageNumbers
Fun Accelerator for Speedy Transportation Configuration (FAST)Stetzones grant Stetmann's units 100% increased movement speed. Allied units gain 50% increased movement speed.
  • Useful to reach maximum mining rate in the early game, despite not having worker saturation on resources (2 per resource patch).
  • Switch to this mode to to get into position to handle attack waves before switching to another mode.
  • Great to use for moving high-value army units out of harm's way.
  • Cooldown: 1 second
Health Uptick Generating System Configuration (HUGS)Stetzones grant Stetmann's units 10 life regeneration per second. Allied units gain 5 life regeneration per second.
  • Use this to heal units after engaging attack waves and pushing into bases.
  • Cooldown: 1 second
Just-in-time Uninterruptable Input for Charging Egonergy Configuration (JUICE)Stetzones grant Stetmann's units 5 Egonergy regeneration per second. Allied units gain 2.5 energy regeneration per second.
  • Use this to regenerate energy before taking large engagements.
  • Toggle between this and HUGS to keep your units alive and fully energized.
  • Cooldown: 1 second

Sub-Ascension Leveling

Difficulty: Moderate

How to win big at the casino. Once Stetmann unlocks Super Gary, it is best to rely on that Hero unit to clear enemy encampments and bases before sending your army in to clear the objectives. Before Super Gary, it is best to use a Hydralisk/Zergling composition as the main backbone of your army, using the Zerglings to tank for the more fragile Hydralisks.

Masteries

Below are the three Power Sets for Stetmann with the recommended point allocations for each. Note that these are meant to serve a general, all-purpose build that is effective across all maps with no Prestiges selected. You are highly encourged to change these masteries to suit your playstyle and particular challenges you face (e.g. Weekly Mutations).

Power Set 1:

PowerValueRecommended Points to AddFurther Considerations
Upgrade Resource Cost-2% per point
-60% maximum
0The upgrade resource mastery only affects attack and armor upgrades, and not upgrades that improve individual units. Players will need to take into consideration whether this mastery is needed.
Gary Ability Cooldown-1% per point
-30% maximum
30

Super Gary can be an extremely powerful unit when used correctly, providing Stetmann's army with instant mobility, buffs and a strong AoE attack to deal with attack waves. Having access to these abilities more often is a better choice.

Power Set 2:

PowerValueRecommended Points to AddFurther Considerations
Stetzone Bonuses2% per point
60% maximum
30Players will need to look at how they are using the energy on their units in order to determine the appropriate split. Players that prefer to spam abilities in short, infrequent bursts (like Infestor play) may decide to put more points into the Energy pool.
Maximum Egonergy Pool2% per point
60% maximum
0

The points recommended here are a starting point for players. A player's playstyle will determine what split they prefer to use. A 17/13 split can be used here and is optimized for a Mass Infestor play and allows Stetmann's Infestors to cast Roaches Away! twice with a full energy bar, as they start with 504 energy.

Power Set 3:

PowerValueRecommended Points to AddFurther Considerations
Deploy Stetellite Cooldown-0.17 sec per point
-5 sec maximum
0A minimum of 12 points into the Structure Morph Rate mastery will allow players to get Super Gary out as soon as he spawns, which compensates for Stetmann's lack of early game power. However, players that prefer to not rely on Super Gary may find more benefit in the Deploy Satellite mastery, which will allow them to spawn more satellites more frequently.
Structure Morph Rate2% per point
60% maximum
30

Stetmann naturally floats many minerals which can be used to place Hatcheries around the map to spread Stetellites from, reducing the need for allocating points into the Stetellite mastery. Therefore, the Structure Morph mastery is the better choice here.

Prestiges

Below are the prestiges for Stetmann. Note that 'Effective Level' is the level at which the prestige achieves it full effect.

LevelNameDescriptionEffective LevelNotes
1Signal Savant
  • Advantages:
    • Stetellites are invulnerable once they are online.
    • Stetellites generate a 50% larger Stetzone.
  • Disadvantages:
    • Super Gary is unavailable.
1None
The disadvantage for this Prestige only takes effect at level 5, which means below Stetmann level 5, this prestige provides purely a positive benefit to the player. However, the loss of Super Gary can be a huge disadvantage, as Super Gary is responsible for Stetmann's overall strength as a commander. This prestige works well against mutators like Propagators, as Stetellites can no longer be converted by Propagators. Additionally, this prestige also favours mass Infestor-style play, as that style of play does not rely much on Super Gary as a hero unit.

LevelNameDescriptionEffective LevelNotes
2Best Buddy
  • Advantages:
    • Gary's health and damage increased by 100%.
  • Disadvantages:
    • Gary's movement speed is reduced by 90% outside of Stetzones.
5
  • Applies to Super Gary
  • Applies to E-Gorbs used by both units
This prestige doubles up on the Hero unit and provides it with a large set of buffs that makes the unit even more powerful. When played well, Super Gary can be used to severely weaken enemy bases and wipe attack waves. The disadvantage may appear to be a big one, and for a unit like Gary, it is true. However, Super Gary has access to the Gary Zone ability which allows him to not only move outside Stetzones at regular speed, but also place Stetellites. When used efficiently, the player should have all the mobility around the map they require, without being hindered by this prestige's disadvantage.

LevelNameDescriptionEffective LevelNotes
3Oil Baron
  • Advantages:
    • Combat units gain a stack of The Best Oil when they kill an enemy unit.
  • Disadvantages:
    • Combat units cost 40% more minerals.
    • Mecha Infestors are unavailable.
1
  • The Best Oil buff gives +10% Attack Speed and +1HP/second regeneration for 30 seconds per stack.
  • A maximum of 20 Best Oil stacks can be collected per unit.
While this prestige might appear to be useful, The Best Oil is only useful when provided in several stacks, such as those given to Super Gary. Since these stacks are only given out on a kill, it is highly unlikely that a unit can accumulate enough stacks such that they would get a signficant advantage from this prestige. Combined with the fact that these stacks are temporary and wear off after 30 seconds, this prestige is not very useful for most units. However, units that deal splash damage, or have cleave attacks (such as Lurkers and Ultralisks) can benefit from this prestige, especially on missions like Dead of Night, where there is a constant stream of enemy units to keep the stacks refreshed.

Best Buddy is the prestige that outshines the rest here, by providing a huge power level increase to Super Gary, with very minimal downsides. Pre-level 5, Stetmann should be using Signal Savant, as it offers no downsides. However, past level 5, Best Buddy should be used if it is unlocked, with a big focus on the hero unit, to reap the power of the prestige.

Recommended Army Composition

The recommended army composition for Stetmann is below. Note that this assumes no Prestige talent selected and recommended Mastery Allocations. This is a basic recommendation for your army framework. It is recommended to gain an understanding for each of the units in the Units section and further add tech units so that you are able to better handle the situations you face.

Using Zerglings to tank for Hydralisks, Stetmann should be able to handle almost any enemy composition without any issues. Attack wave should first be engaged with Super Gary before attacking with your army. Slots no deposit required.

If dealing with a pure ground composition, Mecha Banelings are a great way of handling attack waves. Place them near spawn points if possible. https://truexup938.weebly.com/blog/no-deposit-casino-bonuses-forum.

Build Order

Below is a order for Stetmann that rushes Super Gary out. This one assumes max mastery points into the Structure Morph mastery to ensure adequate resources to upgrade Gary as soon as he spawns. For more information on how to read and construct your own build orders, please check the Build Order Theory page.

14 Overlord
14 Extractor (2 drones on completion)
14 Extractor (2 drones on completion)
19 Spawning Pool

18 2x Zerglings to Expo
20 Drone
21 Infestation Pit
20 Drone
21 Overlord
Saturate gasses at 200 minerals

Note that on some maps that are more defensive (for example Mist Opportunities), it may be better to delay getting the Super Gary upgrade and focusing on a more economic-centric build by take your expansion faster. As such, the build order will need to be modified accordingly. To learn more about how to construct your own build orders, please check the Build Order Theory page.

Gameplay Guide

Mecha Remnants

Whenever any of Stetmann's Mech units are killed under a Stetzone or within 15 range of Gary/Super Gary, a certain number of Mecha Remnants for a unit will be recycled to Stetmann. When a certain number of Remnants are recycled, a Mecha unit will be rebuilt at no cost at their respective unlock structures. Additionally, when Super Gary absorbs a Mecha Remnant, he gains 10% increased attack speed and regenerates an additional 1 life per second for 30 seconds. This can stack up to 20 times. The table below summarizes which Remnants are dropped from each unit.

Playstyle Traps

A common trap for Stetmann players is to ignore the power of Stetzones and take engagements outside them. This can severely reduce their army's effectiveness in the mission. Additionally, switching Stetzone types is part of the gameplay, and continuously using a single Stetzone type is inefficient.

Additionally, some players may choose to cover their ally's base in a speed Stetzone. This should not always be done. Players will need to consider a number of factors:

  1. Ally's commander: Certain commanders macro up extremely quickly and reach full saturation within a few minutes (like Zagara). These commanders generally do not benefit from a Stetzone in their expansion as much as slower commanders (like Stukov).
  2. Distance between bases: Some maps have player expansions very close to each other. As a result, it would take only a few Stetellites to cover an ally's base with a Stetzone.
  3. Attack wave timing: If players find they do not have adequate resources to handle an attack wave early (such as on Rifts to Korhal), putting a Stetzone in an ally's base and switching to HUGS may keep workers alive assuming there is nothing to draw aggro of the attack wave.

Playstyle Tips

  • When engaging an enemy camp, stay outside attack range of enemy units and use an E-Gorb on the enemy units. Taking damage, enemy units will run away, in the same direction as the orb is moving. This can clear large number of enemies effectively.
  • If you need a Stetzone in an area, use Super Gary's Stetzone ability, and then place a Stetellite in the Stetzone to produce a permanent Stetzone once the ability runs out.
  • Following from the above point, it may be useful to spend less time spreading Stetzones to some locations from your base. Instead, use Super Gary's Stetzone ability to provide a place to put a Stetellite and spread from there.
  • You can use Hatcheries to create additional Stetzones to place Stetellites and spread Stetzones from there.
  • Switch to the Speed Stetzone to move valuable units away from the enemy if they get aggro'ed.
  • Alternating between the Energy and the HP Stetzone can keep fully-upgraded Zerglings alive for a very long time.
  • Tech structures can be assigned rally points, so make sure to set them to ensure recycled units go to where they are supposed to go.
  • Make use of Stetellite overcharges because they provide large buffs to your units. Overcharge a Stetellite before taking engagements.
  • Build Macro Hatcheries to allow you to spend your resources more effectively.
  • Super Gary gains a temporary attack speed buff when he picks up Mecha Remnants. Make sure Super Gary is near your army in combat to take advantage of this buff.
