Notes

  • This potion is the opposite of the Zen Potion, which drastically decreases spawn rates.

Tips

  • Having this buff during a Blood Moon is a great way to get Blood Orbs fast.
  • Make sure you use this in a place where you know you can survive as enemies can quickly overwhelm the player.

Trivia

  • This potion was named after the "Zerg", a race from the StarCraft series, which are known for overwhelming the enemy with large numbers.
