Talk:Zerg Rush

obvious reference to the zerg race in starcraft and zerglings specifically. --ValmonUni 01:27, 27 June 2007 (CDT)

• It's more than that. One of the tricks player using the zerg race do is to attack very early in the game with a huge number of weak units before the other players are ready. This is tactic is called a Zerg Rush. --Crowther 14:13, 28 June 2007 (CDT)

The gurgling noise could be a reference to Murlocs in World of Warcraft.--TellKenzine 14:49, 28 June 2007 (CDT)

The World of Warcraft reference in regards to Zerg Rushing is redundant as it's derived from the former. Removing. MatrixM 11:21, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Damage

I have a strang feeling it just knocks you to 0 damage no matter what, thus the bizarre range. Kawa 00:45, 28 June 2007 (CDT)

No, it's knocked me down to 30 hps before.--Tarantio 14:24, 28 June 2007 (CDT)

• Probably some large percentage of your HP, then. --TechSmurf 14:26, 28 June 2007 (CDT)

You lose 105 hit points. ... out of 136 so I didn't get beaten up. FWTW I was full of vinegar at the time, and the war was over. -She ulli

I'm guessing it does a percentage of your current HP. I had 399/435 HP and took 329 damage. --TellKenzine 17:44, 8 July 2007 (CDT)

I believe it's a large (somewhat variable) percentage of your Max HP. I just got hit for 130/161 HP and then again for 128/148 HP --AtroPhied 10:08, 10 July 2007 (CDT)

So far I've lost between 86 and 95% of my MAX HP (269-297/313). --Wertyk 13:20, 12 July 2007 (CDT)

I suspect it's a range that caps at somewhat more than your maximum hitpoints; the damage actually determined is then reduced by your gear, equipment, and so on. For example, I was taking anywhere from 170 to 300 points of damage, with a maximum of just under 330hp; this is as a TT wearing the War Hippy fatigues, stainless steel suspenders, and a keg shield ... and with both Shells up. --Bork 14:01, 12 July 2007 (CDT)

I just lost 86 HP with 163/163. This could possibly indicate that the damage range is as low as 50% of your max hp. --Parroharro 09:42, 17 July 2007 (CDT)

• 77 at 153 HP.--Linkman95 11:36, 18 July 2007 (CDT)

I lost just 59 at a maximum of 110 hp, so... yeah.--Pastian 02:35, 24 July 2007 (CDT)

Lost 74.4% of 516hp. --Blastphemist 11:43, 24 July 2007 (CDT)

Lost 100% 421 of 421 but ended with 5 hp? had heart of orange. --Rippzen 8:30, 1 August 2007 (CDT)

i lost 301/304, which would be 99% --Currman 15:15, 29 August 2007 (CDT)

I too lost 609 hp,of 615. --Monster Kill 05:30 16 September 2007 (CDT)

Disco Bandit, lost 154 HP of 187. Interestingly, it's my Moxie+1. Possibly significant? --Pastangum 00:35, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
