Saving
Saving is an important skill to master if you want to earn gold and help your team last longer. When a sheep dies, he/she becomes a spirit and is stuck inside of the pen and can only move out to the fence/red border. The only way you can save a wisp is by attacking (hotkey a) the wisp once.
Saving
The first thing you should always do when saying is to block off the entrance with farms. Be ready to move as soon as the wisp is saved or you may be killed too. One good strategy is if you notice that all the wolves are on one sheep and that sheep is about to die, run to the middle. Keep an eye out for any chat that goes along the lines of "Get mid, I'm isolated." That way you can save your ally before the wolves get back to the middle to stop you. This is sometimes called "instant saving".
The picture below shows how to block the wolves from entering or leaving the pen using only one farm for each exit. Blocking the pen forces a wolf to waste gold or time. The wolf would have to buy an item or try and cut through/image jump depending on where he/she is.
