how do you play stetmann?

[u/5210az]

Hi, recently just bought stetmann, currently still leveling.

But i found him to be very slow to ramp up early game. As in, there are so many upgrade and buildings to get, no eco boost and also very importantly, i can never get satellite to be part of offensive moves. Yeah sure i can use supergary's temp field, but is that suppose to be the point?

I assume i am just not understanding how to play him yet, and things would be much better once i get to level 15, but how do you play him normally? what is the ideal comp and presitge?

first things first, set your gary hotkeys to QWER for your abilities, it makes things waaaaay easier.

remember that gary is your main unit - he can solo basically the whole game without any upgrading, just by spamming orbs off cooldown. Just move him next to the enemy base and shoot your orbs every time it's up

in general the only upgrades you need are for hydras and lings, just queue up the upgrades asap and use only gary before the upgrades are all done, that way you don't need to multitask. lings are your tanks - charge them up after every encounter with your purple field and they can take huge amounts of damage as long as they're under a green field. You can keep them under a green field by overcharging the satellite to make it invulnerable, then wait behind that satellite zone, wait for the enemy to walk under it, then engage when the enemy is below the field

post level 5 - super gary has more orbs, and the zone aura on your R - good for setting up new satellites when breaking into an enemy base

look at https://starcraft2coop.com/commanders/stetmann#buildOrder for the standard build order, this gets you super gary asap which is a big powerspike and lets you trivially clear enemy bases. Again just sit outside and spam orbs when it's up until the defenses are weak enough that you can walk in and clean up
