About this sound

The iconic Protoss Zealot battle cry My life for Aiur from StarCraft, used as a short voice line for gaming memes, charges and heroic sacrifices.

This is a short, forceful voice clip of the line My life for Aiur, delivered with solemn, fanatical devotion and a slightly echoing, alien tone. The phrase is spoken as a pledge of total loyalty, as if the speaker is ready to charge into battle and die for his homeworld without hesitation. At under two seconds it lands instantly, turning an ordinary push, rush or last stand into something mock heroic. The gravity of the delivery is what makes it funny and rousing at the same time, especially when the stakes are actually trivial.

Pro tip

Drop it right before a charge, all-in push or suicidal play, letting the line finish before the action starts. Pair it with a zoom-in or glowing eyes effect, and avoid looping it, because its power comes from one committed delivery.

How people use it

Announcing an all-in rush in a strategy game stream.
Reacting to a teammate charging in alone and dying.
Adding drama to a last stand in gameplay edits.
Joking about sacrificing everything for a trivial goal.

More information

My life for Aiur is the signature battle cry of the Zealot, the basic Protoss infantry unit in Blizzard's StarCraft, released in 1998. Aiur is the Protoss homeworld, and Zealots repeat the line when selected and sent into combat, making it one of the most quoted unit responses in real-time strategy history. Its solemn delivery helped it spread beyond StarCraft into forums, streams and meme edits, where players still use it whenever a character charges in with total, self-sacrificing commitment to a hopeless cause.
