Exploited Immunity	comment	Sometimes the best offense is a good defense. This trope is about characters "attacking" by exposing themselves and their target to danger which they only expect themselves to survive. This can range from the mundane (e.g., an amphibious character forcing their opponent onto land or drowning them) to the more fantastic (e.g., fireproof characters dragging their opponents into a burning building) and more abstract situations (e.g., stranding themselves in the desert when they have more experience surviving in it). It can also cover weaknesses that the target has which aren't shared by most people; what matters is that one character lacks the weakness and exposes them both to it (or they are exposed to it by the immune character's allies). It also counts if the character is only resistant rather than completely immune to whatever they're exposing themselves to (allowing them to claim Victory by Endurance). This is one of the ways to use a Swiss-Army Superpower or to give a Technical Pacifist a victory. It can also show off an Adaptive Ability if it's used with something that the character was previously defeated with as well as being one of the many ways to use Geo Effects. If it's used against a protagonist, then expect a struggle to either escape in time or for them to end up stealing whatever was allowing their opponent to pull it off (e.g., stealing a mook's parachute after being pushed out of a plane). A monster with a Removed Achilles' Heel will likely use this on a less fortunate member of their own kind to show off their new lack-of-weakness. In many Platform Games, the player takes Collision Damage, while enemies don't, meaning they have but to walk into the Player Character to damage them. Supertrope to Drugged Lipstick (unless there's explicitly another reason the user isn't affected by the drug) and Give Chase with Angry Natives (where the hazard is a third party). Compare Friendly Fireproof (for when the hazard in question is your allies' attacks), Good Thing You Can Heal, Acquired Poison Immunity, and You Can't Kill What's Already Dead. Contrast Suicide Attack and Deliberate Injury Gambit (where the attacker is harmed), We Have Reserves (where the attacker's allies are harmed — but the attacker doesn't care), Briar Patching (when Alice tricks enemy Bob into doing something helpful to her), Immunity Disability (where immunity to something can be "exploited" against said immune person), Revive Kills Zombie, and Immortal Life Is Cheap. Some versions of the Self-Poisoning Gambit rely on this. If the attacker's "unharmed" because they've already been harmed, this overlaps with Disability Immunity. See also Symmetric Effect, as this trope is one way to exploit mutually damaging variations.

Exploited Immunity / int_12381dc	comment	The Divinity: Original Sin II combat system makes heavy use of Geo Effects, Area of Effect spells, and stackable Damage Reduction for various elements, so the player characters can Invoke this and suffer from it. Standouts include enemies who are Immune to Fire and spam their pyrokinesis and a group of undead who make liberal use of poison effects that either ignore or heal them; the undead playable character Fane can use the same strategy himself.

Some players playing these classes will get the attention of monsters and run them through traps they will easily dodge, unlike the monsters... A variant on the above, usable by every class (though Barbarians and Monks are better at it due to fast speed) is to use careful timing to avoid a trap while the enemy will jump right into it to follow you.

Exploited Immunity / int_331e009	comment	Borderlands 2: A variation — shields that grant immunity to certain elements encourage players to liberally spread that element around when enemies are affected by it and they are not. Most commonly manifests as the liberal application of fire from flame-elemental grenades or Exploding Barrels, doing considerable Damage Over Time to enemies and leaving the immune player unharmed. Krieg, a Psycho turned Vault Hunter, has two examples in his skill tree. One skill allows him to become an Action Bomb if his HP is depleted. If he manages to kill an enemy in the explosion, he'll come back to life thanks to the second wind mechanic. He also has a skill tree branch dedicated to setting both himself and his enemies on fire. While he does still take damage from setting himself on fire, he heals based on damage he deals with elemental effects, including damage he deals to himself with incendiary weapons, making him more or less immune while still taking full damage, just the way he likes it.

Early in the 20th century, Xavier, a longtime immortal, developed a fondness for the use of toxic gas in his robberies, and in one scene from the series' present day, he simply walks into a large jewelry shop, drops a vial of the stuff, lets everyone there including him succumb to the poison, then calmly gets back up a minute later when his Healing Factor brings him back to life, at which point he grabs all the loot and leaves.

Exploited Immunity / int_5755b96a	comment	The Order of the Stick: During one of her earlier appearance, Miko Miyazaki refuses to attack a band of ogres in their sleep, but instead wakes them and allows them to surround her... and then orders Vaarsuvius and Durkon to target her with their fire and lightning spells. Having once recieved some training as a Monk, she has the Evasion ability and can easily pass a Reflex save to minimize her injuries, while all the ogres take full damage. A minor example occurs in "Rock the Boat", when Elan jumps on Kubota's rowboat. When Kubota complains that he's going to sink the boat and drown both of them, Elan reminds him that he isn't wearing any weighty armor (unlike Kubota, who's wearing a breastplate), so he has a better chance of swimming to safety. During a fight between Vaarsuvius and a Black Dragon, the dragon deploys an Anti-Magic field which robs them both of their spellcasting. As the dragon notes, a Squishy Wizard like V deprived of their magic becomes almost completely useless, while a dragon deprived of magic still retains their brute strength. Xykon has no problem using his area-of-effect Meteor Swarm spell at point-blank range because he has a magic item that makes him immune to fire damage. Simultaneously play straight and inverted in one fight scene in which Roy has Durkon use a Holy Word spell in range of a group of villains, then has Belkar spring an ambush on them. One of the villains attempts to use a Suggestion spell on Belkar, but Belkar was deafened by the Holy Word, causing the Suggestion to fail. Undead are harmed by Cure Wounds spells and healed by Inflict Wounds. When the heroes fight a group of vampires, the living spellcasters use Area of Effect Cure spells to help their team while harming their enemy, while the vampires do the same with Inflict spells.

Exploited Immunity / int_5c8bc496	comment	Epic Battle Fantasy: The Cosmic Monolith is rather infamous for this in the third game. It has an attack appropriately called Doomsday that hits the entire battlefield for massive dark damage that is nigh impossible to survive without equipment reducing dark damage. It, of course, absorbs dark, so it also heals itself while putting your party at Death's doorstep at the same time. One wonders whether this is not Shout-Out to Ozma. On the other hand, there are fights where its allies are not resistant to darkness, but it still spells trouble. The next games changed Doomsday so it hits only enemies. The following games also have some spells such as Ashes that puts burn on everyone on entire battlefield. Since the damage from burn here is fiery Damage Over Time that can be absorbed, no points for guessing which enemies use it. Likewise, the Virus from 5 deals Bio damage and can spread by itself from enemies to allies by interaction between them, and this is used by the Final Boss that can spread Virus and absorbs Bio.

Exploited Immunity / int_5e88d233	comment	Chrysalis (RinoZ): The Gravity Domain spell greatly increases the weight of those in the area of effect — except the allies of the caster. Which means that when Anthony uses it, pinning monsters helplessly to the ground, Tiny can then go around smashing them without any hindrance. Having a much higher Will stat than your average monster, Anthony is better able to resist the effects of Tiny's stunning scream. Several times, he has Tiny scream into a melee that includes him, knowing that he'll recover better than the monsters all around.

You play as a voodoo doll, and your strongest attacks are 'voodoo' attacks that get charged up and unleashed, and are randomly chosen from the ones you've learned. They can range from getting halved by a bear trap to getting crushed by a satellite, but they all involve 'killing' Vince in order to insta-kill nearby enemies—Vince can do it all day, but the monsters he's killing would say otherwise.

Exploited Immunity / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons: Intelligent undead spellcasters, such as liches, can use Area of Effect magic like cloudkill, sleep and stinking cloud on themselves and their minions with impunity, since undead are immune to these effects. Elven mages can use sleep spells without fear of friendly fire, as elves are immune to Forced Sleep effects. Any PC that is or acquires an immunity to a type of attack can be expected to exploit this. For example, a mage under a minor globe of invulnerability effect, which blocks 3rd-level and lower spells, can use a staff that casts 3rd-level area-of-effect spells at point-blank range. The inquisitor's bracers is a magic item that inverts this, by allowing the wearer to simultaneously make a melee attack against and cast a healing spell on the same target. If used on a normal living person, they'll be hurt by the attack but healed by the spell, leaving them likely angry but healthy. But if used against a vampire or other undead disguising themselves as a living person, they'll take damage from the melee attack and the healing spell, revealing their true nature. Avernus, the top layer of the Nine Hells of Baator, is a Fire and Brimstone Hell where fireballs constantly rain down from the sky. This helps the native devils in their Forever War against the demons — the baatezu have a racial immunity to fire damage, while any invading tanar'ri are merely resistant to fire damage. The yuan-ti are a race of Snake People with immunity to all poisons. They make extensive use of poison traps when defending their lairs, and they sometimes assassinate human nobles and royalty by getting one of their agents hired as a food taster and having them certify poisoned food as being safe to eat.

Therefore, a valid tactic for defeating enemy ships is to use a firebomb to light the ship's interior on fire, then send in your Rockmen crew to board the ship and interfere with the enemy crew's attempt to put the fires out. Similarly, the Lanius, with their immunity to suffocation, are perfect for fighting in airless rooms, a tactic that would otherwise be suicidal. Normally, when dealing with boarders, your main options are either venting the compromised rooms or sending in your crew to fight them. With a Lanius crew, you can do both at once.

However, as they are either immune to the elements of those attacks or actually gain health from them, the disadvantages of these attacks are lost. This can also be done with playable characters, by equipping them with elemental immune items. In Final Fantasy IX: Vivi's most powerful spell is Doomsday, which inflicts shadow damage on all allies and enemies on the field. Equipping your characters with gear that absorbs shadow will cause them to be healed by the spell instead. The Superboss Ozma also tries this, but it's possible to invert it: it has Doomsday in its arsenal and normally absorbs shadow damage, but one sidequest rewards you by making it weak to shadow instead, so if it does use the spell, it'll harm itself. Calculators in Final Fantasy Tactics have the ability to cast almost any regular spell in the game instantly and at no cost, provided you can find a parameter and multiple that applies to the target (they're basically a whole class based around the "Lv. X" spells from the main games). Unfortunately there is no way to differentiate friend from foe if the selected parameters apply to both. Fortunately, you can outfit your entire team to absorb a specific element (Holy is a popular choice) and blast away.

Some players thus deliberately charge in the Avatar at some huge monstrosity like a Hive Tyrant or Carnifex and have a nearby Fire Dragon squad open fire on both combatants. The Avatar comes out unscathed while the enemy is reduced to a smouldering crisp.

Exploited Immunity / int_bfd7c6e0	comment	This was the favorite tactic of the Nidraa'chal in the backstory of Drowtales, where they would open up a nether gate in a populated area and the demons that came through would start possessing the citizens and soldiers sent to oppose them. The Nidraa'chal themselves were unaffected by this because they had already willingly merged with a demon and couldn't be possessed again. As a result of the above the Sarghress clan developed their own counter strategy in the form of the War Meat, a squad of non-fae (humans, orcs, ferals etc.) who due to lacking auras could not be possessed by the demons, so they would be sent in first to kill the nether summoners before the regular troops moved in to finish the job.

He's an ex-stuntman who drives a specially modified vehicle which protects him even in serious crashes. It's designed for movie stunts, but he uses it to deliberately cause fatal collisions, walking away with minor injuries and without being charged with a crime. (As an additional precaution, he targets victims who've been drinking, knowing that they'll be blamed for the crash).

The Daleks and Cyberman, who have been living in the void for years, are already soaked in the stuff so they are sucked back in, while humans remain unharmed. However, Rose, who has traveled between her universe and Pete's World, is also covered in a bit of Void Stuff, and is nearly pulled through herself except for Pete's intervention. In "The Dalek Invasion of Earth" the Daleks are defeated by detonating an underground pocket of trapped magnetic fields. The resulting surge of magnetism crushes the metal Daleks, while their human slaves are unaffected.

First, his Shadow Game with Mai has both players losing memories of people they knew whenever one of their monsters is destroyed. But he's a sociopath, and she's not, so this has a large psychological effect on her over the course of the match, while he doesn't care at all. And against Joey, each player feels whatever pain their monsters feel and whenever a monster is destroyed, it saps the owner's stamina. Here he is counting on having greater stamina, while he saps away at Joey's strength to the point where he wins by disqualification when Joey falls unconscious seconds before victory. In the Virtual World arc, the monsters and effects are solid so players experience real damage. When Crump duels Tea, he adds a rule where whenever a player receives damage, parts of their body become frozen. Crump is in the body of a penguin, so the cold doesn't bother him, while Tea really suffers. When Noah Kaiba duels Seto and then Yami Yugi, he uses his Virtual-Reality Warper powers to make it so the damage does not apply to him. Seto damages him several times and Yami Yugi hits him with several Direct Attacks and he doesn't feel a thing, while a mere 100 damage is extremely painful to Yami Yugi.

Stearns uses this as a tactical advantage by waiting until the middle of winter to attack an enemy force. Their opponents have larger numbers, and their commanding officer General Baner has a record of success, but they're dressed in rags, demoralized by months of freezing in the trenches, and many of them are sick or recovering from illness. Then he attacks in the middle of a whiteout blizzard, which paralyzes Baner's centralized army (which is used to sweeping maneuvers requiring an awareness of the whole battlefield) but is much less of an obstacle for Stearns' self-directed regiments.

However, the only mechs actively designed to Kill It with Fire have flame shielding, and can set the whole map on fire with impunity. Vek can drown, while your mechs can't, so it's possible to stand in a tidal wave zone, cause a vek to move next to you, and then watch it drown. Flying Mechs (especially the swap mech) can use this effectively on other terrain types as well. Smoke will prevent any unit from attacking or repairing itself, but any mech piloted by Camilla Vera is immune to both it and webbing, making her a very effective pilot for one of the smoke throwing Rusting Hulks. Some powerful weapons damage both the target and the user, however, a mech with either built in armor or the pilot Abe Isamu won't take damage, significantly improving their lifespan. Putting up a shield before any kind of attack that would harm yourself or an ally (such as lightning whip also works.
