Stutter Micro

Stutter Micro is a very easy but still important micromanagement technique. It is over 50% of the micro I do.

What does Stutter Micro mean?

- It is the constant repetition of shooting once and then do a short move command while the attack cooldown is active. Once you are able to attack let the cycle of actions begin again.

What is Stutter Micro good for?

- You can move up on armies in order to 1) not letting them escape anymore 2) bring all your units within combat range ( I use this micro with Roach/Hydra a lot! )

- You can also kite armies, for example in order to not get hit by Zealots while you still combat the protoss Gateway army.

What do i need to perform Stutter Micro?

- You will need to get some practice to get the timing done flawlessly with the different unit types. Of course you will also need ranged units for this.

How do I actually perform Stutter Micro?

The moving part: You either just click on the ground for moving implicitly or you hit the explicit "move" button (whatever you have keybinded it to).

The shooting part: You either just press the "stop" button to attack randomly, or you click on an enemy unit to focus it down.
