Normal Zombie

General#

The Normal zombie is what everyone starts with and what you fall back to when a stronger class locks. It is the only class with unlimited lives, which makes it the workhorse of any long round.

Stats#

Ability: Scratch#

Costs 20 power, 2 second cooldown.

A short-range swipe that deals damage and adds 5 radiation on top of it. At 20 power it is by far the cheapest ability in the game, and the meter refills fast enough to use it almost on cooldown.

Scratch is how a Normal zombie actually wins fights. Ordinary punches add 1 to 3 radiation depending on the target's leather; scratch more than doubles the best case.

Playing It#

You are not going to out-muscle a Tank or out-run a Hellhound, but you never run out of lives. Stay on the survivor who is already high on radiation, since scratch closes out a conversion faster than anything else at this cost, and let the expensive classes take the risks.
