Shuttle

Overview
An inexpensive, durable, but slow means of ferrying troops about the battlefield, which can be upgraded with a significant speed enhancement.

How It Has Changed
The Shuttle itself builds slightly slower than before, and units emerging from a Shuttle cannot attack for several moments. Therefore Shuttle ambushes, particularly the feared Reaver drop, are no longer as effective.

Shuttle

Recommended Uses
Moving Reavers, High Templars, and Dark Templars into battle, or behind enemy lines. Hallucinated Shuttles make an effective diversion.

Further Detail
You cannot rely on Shuttle-dropped Reavers any longer, not without some serious modification to the strategy. Because Reavers can no longer attack immediately as they emerge from a Shuttle, they will be vulnerable for those few seconds. Thus, try escorting Reavers with Zealots, which can hold off enemy ground forces for a few moments as your Reaver prepares to fire.
