  • i use multicommand for this

  • haha good stack bad micro xD

  • Lol

    Now stacking mutalisk is no longer as invincible

    Because of thors..

    Seriously hate thors as a Zerg player..

    Marines, thors and siege = rape

    Zerg's counter to that?

    Mass zerging and roach and muta

    Or

    Mass Zergling and banes and muta..

    In the end you might get supply capped and terran could just medivac drop you across the map and destroy your economy while your units are running around the map or getting raped as you chase them

  • @sukarestu or u can do the magic box method u fucking bronzie

  • @sukarestu bronze cry nub

  • @sukarestu if you dont know how to handle a marine/tank/thor push then you're nub and stacking is still very strong just deny people from getting thor or do it before they get thors

  • with thors now , they be dead

  • Psionic Storm would made my day

  • rather do it with a burrowed ling.. my overlords usually end up flying into the guys base while im harassing him

  • larva sucks use a overload, it is much more better

  • Never select a larva. The larva should be making units. Use an overlord.

  • Archon +dark archon. Mealstorm DONE

  • Using the hold key (H) when approaching the enemy is much more effective and faster than the Attack command, and you wont loose so much mutas. But usually Mutalisk dont attack bases with two or more rocket towers directly, cuz its too risky, you have to pull your opponents units outside of the tower-range and destroy the towers with some ground units.

  • lol, he selected the larva from the base too xD it cant attack OR move.

  • @gamer9515 Thats one of the possible ways, how to stack mutas.

  • @Dreathan oh

  • Whats the point of stacking?

  • @SilentFishy your mutalisks fire all at once, meaning that you can retreat after each shot immediately and go back in the cooldown, reducing damage to your mutalisks.

    If they didn't fire all at once you would have to keep your mutalisks exposed to enemy fire longer than needed.

    Of course, when the opponent deals splash damage, you definitely wan't them to _not_ stack, such as against the corsair, so it depends on the situation what you want.

  • your micro is fail

  • @Chestuhr yea so low apm, go play tetris u noob haha

  • I just saw a Starcraft interview and I heard that stacking Mutalisks didn't get discovered until 10 years after the game was released. Sounds egotistical, but I was doing this as soon as I got the game years and years ago because my first RTS was C&C: Red Alert, and I used to do this with ALL my air units in that game. Man, if only I'd become a Starcraft competitive player. LOL Imagine how many Korean women would hang off of me for stacking so many Mutalisks. ;-)

  • @TKnightcrawler

    Yeah. No waya inControL would have been right on that one.

  • @ForKa5T Haha, I guess you saw the interview too. :)

  • You don't have to use larvas to add to your team. You can take any unit that is a certain distance far away. Mostly it's Overlords being used for that, because they are slow (distance) and don't disturb your macro processes (like larvas do).

  • killed 7 marines worth 350minerals at a cost of 500minerals and 500gas on ur mutualisks

    tho i know thats not the point of the video

    anyway cool tip for those that did not know

  • Bring on the corsairs!

  • You have to add 1 larva to your 11 hotkey'd mutas for this to work properly. Look closer when you watch the video and you will see it.

  • What I do to micro is, get like 10 mutas, and then click all of them, and then click on an object such as a mineral patch, and then they are all stacked.

  • That doesn't work properly because when you're flying, they just end up spreading out rather than staying stacked.

  • do u know how to stack air?

  • cmon people, he is helping noobs to get better micro :)

  • yeah, i mean comon stop riping on him for gods sake

  • HE lost like 3 mutalisks, and thats alot

    he killed like 8 marines and 3 meds

    which cos 550 minerals and 75 gas overall

    and mutas 300 and 300 gas, however gas is more important to zerg player and therefore its a loss

  • lol a Starcraft nerd

  • lol yeah i played this game for like 3 years straight

  • i dont really care about the cost cause i use cheats

  • then u dont play online, and therefore micro is pretty much useless against comp. all u need to do i attack from two different sides. comp goes for one side and the other is defenceless

  • Rofl u use cheats like hacking?

  • i dont play online -_-'

  • He wouldn't have gone up against a near full control group of M&M and two towers in a real game.

  • Tru, but lets say if its just an expo, or natural minerals, that would definately be the case for harrasemnet

  • Yep, you're right about this. But if there's a tower or a group of M&M, it wouldn't be smart to harass there. Each muta is extremely expensive (100m/100g) and it's just not worth losing even a single muta for a 50m marine or a 75m tower. Even killing a medic is a poor trade. Killing some SCVs without losing a muta is the most effective use of mutas.

  • yeah, but u also know that mutas do splash, and if u have desent micro, u can take down 4, 5 scvs in 3 hits with a pack

  • Russki, it's not really splash damage, as you know. The subsequent two hits are completely random and do hardly any damage. If you're lucky, then it can work to your favor, but the stack of mutas is more about killing workers in one hit so the minor damage to other workers doesn't really matter.

    What do you mean? Of course I know how to air stack. If I didn't before, this video just shows it. Kind of a dumb question. But anyway, I do it with an overlord because larva are busy making new units.

  • oh thats good, lots of people use larva, and cnat macro at the same time

    and if u have a defiler, then mutas are the best with plaque

  • Actually mutas don't splash

  • they do damage more than oe target with one hit, wat would u call it?

  • Splash damage is area effective, Yes the mutalisk can hit multiple targets but, that's only up to 3, splash damage hits multiple targets depending within if they're in range, and Mutalisk's their damage is the same amount of damage each time just divided by a third i think, splash damage is reduced by how far away you are. (Btw i would call it glave worm because that's what they attack with)

  • @69RUSSKI69 i would call it ''chain damage''

  • wow you suck at micro

  • Nice vid, but the attack is not with "attack" button... You just have to move near the marines but keeping distance and click and push "H" (Hold position) and back after they shot.. they will automatically attack the same unit/structure that is nearest, and back withuot receiving a lot f dmg...

  • thats a good tactic, but the problem is:

    mutas have 3 clicks range, marines 4 unapgraded, and 6 with U-shells

    so while u get them to go in range they are already getting a damage, so the best way is either patrol hotkey, or rightclick target

  • @69RUSSKI69 yeah but generally only the edge marines can attack the mutas, whereas all the mutas can attack as soon as they get in range. every time you go in you can kill one marine, and they only get a few shots back, and then nearer the end you can kill a few with one go cos their health has been brought down. :) but I suck at sc so don't take my word for it.

  • @Korlan28 Haha but then there is something starcraft has thats really unique to an RTS, and thats something is range carry. When a turret gets a target within its range, it will do 2 more hits out of range, an many units tend to continue firing even after target have left the range.

  • computer won, obiously

  • why are u suppose to keep a larva in a pack of mutas?

  • For some reason the mutalisks stack if you have a larva or any other unit that's far from them.

  • Obviously we know who won that game. The computer lol....=)

  • bad thing about staking is ur piking off 1 unit at a time which is bad if thr is a huge amount of ur enemys unit

  • is it patrol or attack when you micro stacked mutas?

  • Arent you supposed to attack the unit closest to you to minimize damage?

  • that is stacking...they were all in solid formation...

  • It's stacking. The technique is used in professional starcraft all the time. It's called the "magic box".

  • too much lost mutalisks. better effective if first u destory AA towers.

  • He's just showing you how to stack them...

  • thx for sharing 5/5

  • maybe i should. without a doubt i can rape you with only muta. i just dont know how to make a video out of SC, wanna tell me how? and whats wrong with saying that was a horrendous micro? did i say anything wrong? are you stating that it is a good micro? even if it was a demonstration, if ur gonna post it up on youtube, then maybe you should fucking post a good one right?

  • yea he is horrible :S

  • you controlling a larva haha

  • lol they do lots of damage man

  • you micro is bad ! haha well sou sou is not that good but is btter than other ones but like my micro

  • that was horrendous micro... =_=

  • not exactly jaedong

  • lol a lot of his mutas died!

  • why go for the medics if the marines die in one shot cuz all the mutas shoot at the same time?

  • even thought theres a new patch you can still stack air unitsa

  • thats crap micro

  • he lost half his mutas for like, 9 marines lol

  • well it was just showing how to stack, not how to micro

  • Huh? This is decent micro, how well can you do attacking into clumped marines with 2 turrets backing up?

  • Well there is no point backing up then because the turrets still attack and mutalisks lose an attack backing up

  • yea , and he could use shift , so he keap atacking non stop

  • Comment removed

  • OMFG gossoldier911 u fucking stupid noob

  • OMFG 69lol69 u fucking stupid noob. Wow you can't even learn how to type either too. You're a complete dumbass. You had my name right there, and you misspelled it. You change complete words with letters. Go type in "How to leave a comment" and deal with me after that.

  • I don't what's doing on between you and 69lol69

    but the goliaths have explosive weapon which means it doesn't full dmg on small units such as mutalisks .. And that guy in this video is noob.. cause he's mutalisk micro suck..

    Godsoldier911 if u wonder why they dmg less on mutas just ask ;) don't start a fight in youtube :D it's better to play 1vs1 to decide who the noob is :D

  • LOL no it doesnt...

  • lol nice micro n' muta control =DD

  • omg! thank you!

  • very nice stacking and micro

  • maybe you should learn hold position?

  • Why would you hold position???

  • when u right click on to where u wanna go and click on hold it will attack 1 unit for u faster and u save ur mutas that way.

  • wow,

    I really don't to stack them

  • click 11muta and a overlorsd without speed or use a larva and when ever u right click attack or patrol it will stack into 1

  • irradiate*

  • Yeah you can kill all of them in 3 seconds with that.

  • yea so true i Did that to a zerg killed all his mutas and nuked his base =D

  • :D science vessel :D iradiate :D

  • it's for early marine and scv kills...

  • lol i never knew this, every time i wanted to stack i would right click them onto my own building so i had to retreat to my base every time i did a mutalisk harassment

  • who the fuck doesnt know this.

    just add one overload to your mutalisk group ay b ro

    xxxx

  • its very easy -.-

  • what's the cheat for the population again?

  • theres the gathering

    food for thought

    black sheep wall

    power overwhelming

    operation cwal

    and show me the money

    those are the most frequent ones i use hope they help

  • thanks man!

  • this skill is so useful..

    it becomes so hard for the opponent to select a muta with low life cos they're all stackedxD but AoE kills it so I'd say this is only for harrassing at early and mid game..

  • ummm irradicate?

  • he is a cheater... -.- (22/9) Units, and so much materials!?

  • yeah, its called 'show me the money'.

  • no it aint. no one types show me the money 99990 times

  • ;-.-

  • they're called triggers

  • sadfaced Multalisk thingys !

  • anybody hear of something called "Used Map Settings" games?

  • lol noobs =,=

  • OMG SO FUCKING AMAZING... not!

  • whatever the video nice o not. but it curse all ppl argue here. crazy

  • i thought the point of hit n run was to make mutas shoot faster o.o(i kno im noob so dont go talking crap about me being noob)

  • the most useful effect of hit n run is to draw the enemy away from their assigned positions.

    the other purpose is to prevent the enemy from focus firing on fixed units in your attack force.

    drives the opponent crazy.

    dunno how stacking helps though. can anyone explain ? :/

  • more focused fire for your units

  • plus the enemy can't select the weak mutas

  • theres an easier way to stack mutalisks, or any flying unit. you click on a mineral, and they gather at the same place. and yea, noobs who said to attack stright up shouldnt be playing starcraft

  • ahahaha i love the noobs that are watching this and saying ' you should've attacked straight up'

    you're all fucking morons

    the point of this is to lose as few units as possible

  • Wow....all you kids that say this kid is a Haxor is fuckin stupid...its called micro challange. Helps you get better at the game. Maybe if u fuckin noobs didnt play money maps you would know about that!

  • thanks, i'm a good terran player, but i've been thinking about playing with zerg a while. I wanted to micro mutas in the first thing i wanted to do with zerg. Thanks!

  • does moving those mutas back and forth makes difference in this case? sorry lol i am a sc noob so just wondering

  • Yes it does. This is the hit and run technique. Mutalisks are weak against stacked marines and cannot win face to face. However, this technique allows them to win.

  • chee you are dumb moving them back and forth in THIS situation WAS pointless, he kept running back to the point where marines were still hitting them as well as turrets and then moving them back...hes very stupid

  • You dumbshit. So your saying that the mutalisks should have attacked straight up? The marines would have fucking owned the mutalisks. Learn some more strategy before mouthing off.

  • yeah i am saying they would have beaten them straight up

  • the marines didnt even have SP

  • Dude Muta's beat the marines one hit k.o. when they are stacked. While they are running the turrets were still attacking you noob. It's better to kill them with the muta's bounce.

  • you dumbshit. there were 7 marines and 3 medics with 2 missile turrets. Why don't you go and actually try killing the marines face to face and post a video. Doesn't matter if they are stacked or not if you had just attacked them.

  • no hes not he campaign eddited. and he made his team have 9999999 minerals

    i did that and then i got more minerals, it diseapeared lol glicthed

  • The pros are insane, they move the wounded one behind the other mutalisks so the ones getting auto-targetted are the ones in front and thereby receive the damage and the hurt is in the rear to slaughter as if it had full health.

    Not worth the effort imo, since I'll never be good enough to make money off of it.

  • That's the only correct answer I've see here. Instead your strategy resulted in slowing your mutas rate of fire while the terrans constantly fired upon you, also you kept randomly clicking the ground sending them in even deeper. Stacking doesn't magically do anything. The idea of pulling your nearly dead units behind the healthier ones is the key factor here.

  • how stupid =\

  • too bad they would be pwnd by a few corsairs doing massive splash damage

  • thats how its done, he shows at begining that without larva the mutalisks stay separated but when grouped with larva they stack. NoClue indeed.

  • Quick to criticize and just as quick to make an ass of yourself

  • nice minerals

  • Did you not see the green explosions what a tart xD

  • oh so thats how u do it, the Koreans use it all the time

  • Are you black or something? He's hitting and running because usually if you just attack straight on, after you had hit something, your mutas would be sitting there for a few fractions of a second getting hit. If it runs, then it would save some hp and then come back and hit it. Anyways, stacking helps as if you don't stack and you just hit a marine, the medic heals it, but if you stack, they all hit at the same time ensuring that the unit is going to die.

  • ya i agree wat he say, 1 hit over 40 dgm can kill marine. if nt, marine may atk 2 o more hit to muta. sure it can save more hp for muta. n plz dun argue agian plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!fuck

  • i got another way to stack mutas select all mutas then right click on a mineral mine and they will stack together

  • But when you click other places, they disperse.

  • 1 shot 1 kill

  • If he attacked normally, the muta fire would have dispersed, letting the meds heal the marines. With "bombing", you can kill off marines in a shot so that the marines will actually die. NEVER do this vs a toss player with sairs. Yes I have seen it done.

  • But the point is or one of them is; u dont want to get hit by the marines...

  • folopopiscle is the only one who knows whats going on, stfu ruckanln... new to starcraft? give ya a break? your the one who obviously doesn't know the effectivenesses of stacked muta micro has vs m/m

  • IF you keep them there they'll get raped by small arms fire

  • lol talkin like a pro.. (NOT).. u dont even kno the benefits of stacking..

  • i can make sure your intelligent must lower then 0, it mean negative. try to think 1 hit 1 kill is beter!! dump!

  • At least I can spell, ;) and if they were to stay, they'd get a lot more kills. So I guess you need to learn how to read as well. :\

  • it's better if you use overlord instead of lava

  • u should c July_zerg's micro =D

  • Nice. xP

  • What this video illustrates is very common. Professional Zerg players do it all the time. Indeed, stacking them will make it impossible for the terran to focus fire, but obviously is a huge mistake if a mutalisk is irradiated.

    That stacking also makes it easier to quickly pick off many units since all attack in unison.

  • um yeah he is. did you see the rines dieing?

  • lol at you.. DUMBASS --;

  • bad muta-bombing
