This in-verse tier of characters in Starcraft is currently rated at 8-C via High Templars seemingly being capable of vaporizing Zerglings. However, the clip where High Templars allegedly vaporize zerglings only shows them incinerating zerglings, reducing them to ash, rather than vaporizing them. The remains of the zerglings seem to remain visible and not vaporized a while after being hit by the High Templar, all the way up to the point where they're obscured by the dust cloud that's kicked up, so there is no proof that they were actually fully vaporized rather than being reduced to ash. Tl;dr there's no proof that the High Templars can vaporize zerglings
Now, due to this, it would be better to use the "Reducing an Average Human to char" calculation (the current blog utilizes the "average human" end for zerglings) for each of the three zerglings. According to the aforementioned calc, it takes 239,851,203.807 joules or 0.05732581352 tons of TNT to reduce an average human (which we will use in place of the zerglings) to ash. Multiply this by 3 and the High Templar's attack gets a yield of 719,553,611.421 joules or 0.17197744056 tons of TNT (Small building level). This downgraded calculation would apply to High Templars, Marines (Starcraft, obviously), Jim Raynor, Hydralisks, and all the other profiles that scale to the High Templar calc. I can make a blog for this new calculation if that is necessary.
