HP to 1	comment	You're going to feel it tomorrow... but it makes sure you'll be there to feel it. This trope is for any of those attacks that appear to do a ridiculous amount of damage, but on closer inspection actually have the rather strange effect of reducing one (or more) party members down to their very last Hit Point instead of inflicting normal (possibly lethal) damage. A lesser form of this trope is normal-damage attacks that specifically leave the target at one Hit Point when the attack would be fatal. So what happens if you already have only one Hit Point when struck by this attack? In most cases, that amazing psychedelic rainbow shockwave (or whatever) attack will have no effect whatsoever, or may be labelled an automatic "Miss". However, sometimes even this attack is obligated to inflict a minimum of Scratch Damage and will actually kill the character unless they heal themselves (even slightly) in the meantime. Should you fall victim to these kinds of attacks, your safest action is simply to Heal Thyself the first chance you get... or you can also use this chance to unleash a Desperation Attack of maximum power. But be very wary: Even Scratch Damage leads directly to a Critical Existence Failure. Related to Slap-on-the-Wrist Nuke. Poison status effects often have this limitation. Suffering this can leave you open to Cherry Tapping. Indeed, some enemies with this ability have an attack which deals a single hit point of damage as their only other attack. Alternatively, a clever user might pair this trope with a Damage Over Time status affliction beforehand, resulting in the affliction doing the finishing blow at the end of the turn after the subject has been reduced to 1 health, preventing them from being able to respond to it on the next turn. Compare and contrast Last Chance Hit Point (where the ability to survive an attack with 1 HP is associated with the defender, not the attack itself). See also One-Hit-Point Wonder (where having one HP is the standard) and One-Hit Kill (where the attack doesn't even spare a single hit point).

HP to 1 / int_1abd98ae	comment	In the Endless Frontier spinoff to the Super Robot Wars described below, Mercy is instead turned into a negative status effect that can only be gotten via one of the two Spirit commands that cast a random SC on either themselves or a random party member: the reason it's a negative status effect despite doing the exact same thing is because the whole point of the game is overkilling every enemy in overly elaborate ways and the only HP you ever need to worry about hitting 0 is your own.

HP to 1 / int_2192aeb3	comment	Fire Emblem: The Hel dark magic from Genealogy of the Holy War and Thracia 776 along with Eclipse in The Binding Blade and Medusa in Gaiden/Shadows of Valentia reduce the target's HP to one, or kills if the target is already at one HP, but to prevent them from being total Game Breakers they all have very low accuracy and high weight which slows the user down, and Eclipse in The Blazing Blade was nerfed to only halve the target's HP, but got an accuracy boost to compensate. But in a touch of Artificial Brilliance in Thracia 776, enemy dark mages often couple with another dark magic Yotsmungand that poisons if it hits, if a poisoned target is hit with Hel, it becomes One-Hit Kill instead. In Radiant Dawn: Whispers gain the mastery skill Bane, which instantly reduces enemy HP to one. Of course, considering that the chances of you getting any Whispers other than Sothe, combined with the chances of Sothe turning out to be any good, this is rather worthless. It can also proc on the second attack, when even a basic hit would've killed the target. Also your other characters will often have a mastery skill that is basically "ton of damage. If he manages to survive somehow, halve his speed for 5 turns." In fact, this is the case with most mastery skills. Most of these added effects tend to be completely irrelevant since most of the skills are overpowered and will seldom not kill everything. Of course, no generic enemies nor non-plot relevant bosses will ever have these skills (or any non-mastery skills, unless they're bosses) because they never make it to the third tier, for obvious reasons. Bane is just Lethality and Mercy in one skill. The former (only belonging to Volke) kills things instantly (unless they're counted as a boss character) and the latter (belonging to Elincia) makes it so that it's impossible to kill anyone since your character will stop doing damage after an enemy's hit one HP. Mercy has its uses, but the game puts it on Elincia after a certain point in the game, but doesn't tell you, which can cause players to accidentally head out into battle with her being unable to kill things. In Awakening's final mission, during the opening cutscene, Grima uses his power to weaken everyone in your army and it displays their health bars being reduced to a tiny sliver. However, Naga, who has taken up residence in Chrom's sword, shortly afterward uses her own powers to heal everyone back up to full health before the battle actually starts, and they begin the mission with full health as usual. Grima pulls the same trick in the Future Past 3 DLC mission, only this time it's not aimed at your party, but rather the Alternate Universe versions of Lucina, Severa, Laurent, and Gerome, making an already-precarious Escort Mission even more desperate, since all four need to survive to get the Golden Ending.

It can, however, result in a One-Hit Kill if the Hunter has less than 30% of their total health while being a co-operator. The attack itself is not as bad as it sounds as it actually converts all of your HP into "red health," which can be regained by attacking an enemy immediately after the attack has landed (and as an added bonus, use of it has a long recovery time which leaves the Moon Presence vulnerable to just such a recovery).

The All For One fusion spell reduces the HP of all combatants to one. Katsuya's Signature Move "Justice Shot" has 42% chance to reduce an enemy's HP to one. That percentage can change depending on weaknesses or resistances, AGI and LUCK stats. Persona 4 has Galgalim Eyes, which reduce the victim's HP to 1 and inflict them with the Enervation status.

HP to 1 / int_45501b8c	comment	Super Metroid: The titular metroid reduces Samus' energy to exactly 1 point, regardless of any health tanks she has. This is more of a plot point than any serious danger; while there's nothing you can do to stop the energy drain (apart from not getting grabbed in the first place), at the last possible second the metroid recognizes Samus as the one it imprinted on when it hatched and it lets her go. Luckily, there's no other enemies between Samus and an energy-restoring station. The Final Boss (Mother Brain) resorts to her Laser Brain Attack when dealt enough damage, draining three Energy Tanks (or six, if the player is not wearing the Varia Suit), about sixty-five Missiles, and Samus's entire supply of Super Missiles and Power Bombs. What qualifies it for this trope (given that the player can have up to nineteen Energy Tanks' worth of health by the end of the game) is that not only is it impossible to dodge the attack, but she'll keep doing it until the player's health becomes low enough that one more Laser Brain Attack would be lethal. Furthermore, if the player has more than one Energy Tank remaining, she'll rub in her imminent victory by launching weaker attacks at Samus (who at this point is too exhausted to move) until this is no longer the case. Finally, she'll attempt to finish Samus off with one final Laser Brain Attack - at which point the infant "Super Metroid" will rush in and save Samus's life. If Samus can't survive the first of the Laser Brain attacks, however, she will die.

HP to 1 / int_49a88442	comment	Final Fantasy XIV' Fall damage can never kill you as long as you're at full HP. If you have even 1 HP less than maximum, an otherwise non-fatal fall WILL kill you. The Sigmascape v4.0 (Savage) raid has Kefka using an attack called Heartless Angel, which (much like in its original appearance in FFVI) does this to the entire party. Even worse, later phases change this attack to Heartless Archangel, which reduces the party's HP to one and prevents healing on them for several seconds. Thankfully, with some careful manuevering you can avoid a full raid wipe until the debuff expires and healers can resume healing. The first boss of Sastasha (Hard), Karlabos, will target a random player with Tail Screw, which will reduce their HP to 1. Normally, the healer can easily fix this, but the boss will also use a poison based debuff before using Tail Screw. If the healer didn't cure the debuff beforehand, then the chip damage will kill the player after the Tail Screw attack. As of patch 4.5 introducing the Blue Mage job, players can learn the attack from this boss, where it will do the same thing to any enemies that are not specifically immune to instant-death attacks. Forgall, the second boss of The Weeping City of Mhach, would use an attack called Hell Wind which would have this effect then immediately follow it up with Punishing Ray, an attack which players must stand in marked areas to weaken the main blast. Said areas cause an unremovable bleeding debuff as long as the players stand in them forcing the healers to undo the damage of Hell Wind as quickly as possible. Both the Thunder God (the third boss of the Orbonne Monastery raid) and the Warrior of Light (the boss of the Seat of Sacrifice trial) have an attack which reduces all players to 1 HP and inflicts a version of Doom which can only be removed by restoring an afflicted player to full health before it goes off. The Gunbreaker's "become unkillable" skill, Superbolide, makes them invulnerable for a few seconds but sets their HP to 1, forcibly invoking a Last Chance Hit Point scenario. In Abyssos: The Eighth Circle (Savage), the party will have their HP dropped to one after resolving the second "High Concept" mechanic correctly. If someone isn't healed up to full before being dropped to 1, they are killed instead.

HP to 1 / int_49ad83ee	comment	World of Warcraft: Raid Boss Prince Malchezaar has Enfeeble that works this way, but it's only temporary damage. The trick is to avoid any further damage until the effect wears off. Of course, he casts an area-effect spell soon after, so the targets need to run away from him (and avoid the Infernals area damage). The effect also prevents any form of healing, so there is no easy way out. Mercifully, he won't use it on whoever is on top of his threat list. This would keep it from being a completely Luck-Based Mission, but the above-mentioned infernals do a fine job of making it one on their own. Baron Ashbury in the revamped Shadowfang Keep has an ability called Asphyxiate, which stuns all players and reduces their HP to 1. Immediately after casting Asphyxiate he will cast Stay of Execution, an interruptable ability that heals both the players and himself for 10% of their maximum life every time second it ticks. Defeating him without letting him heal at all awards the Pardon Denied achievement. Chimaeron in Blackwing Descent has an interesting take on this. There's a friendly NPC that prevents any hit from killing anyone if their health is above 10,000, instead causing them to live with 1 health. This means that healers just have to keep everyone above 10,000 health for most of the fight, but this effect gets disabled periodically, and so massive healing is required to keep everyone alive through his caustic slimes. Some of the pets in the pet-battle minigame have an attack that explicitly has a version of this effect (that is, the attack does normal damage, but it will not reduce the opponent below one hit point). This has its uses, since you capture pets by reducing them to low health without killing them (then following up with a "cage" attack). If your pet has the HP to one attack, you can use him even if he's much higher level than the opponent, and not worry about an ill-timed critical hit killing the other guy.

The boss of Snowdin will never hit you with a fatal attack. If the attack would normally be fatal, it instead reduces your health to 1 HP and you get captured and thrown in a Cardboard Prison. Getting hit by any of the penultimate boss' attacks will never leave you with less than 1 HP unless it's already there. It's a subtle hint that he's holding back and doesn't really want to fight you. The True Final Boss' last attack is a point-blank, unavoidable beam that reduces your HP to a very small fraction of a percent. The Final Boss of the Genocide ending has several: The boss's attacks can inflict a poison-like status that marks a portion of your HP as purple, which slowly drains away. But, the last point of HP can't be marked, hence the "poison" alone can't kill you. Later, the boss attacks the menu while you are navigating the menu. This can't drop your HP to below one. The penultimate attack involves using Gravity Screw to slam you to the Bullet Board's borders, but it can't drop your HP to below 1.

Most examples have rather shaky accuracy. The first one is Bakemon, a Bedsheet Ghost Digimon. They have "Death Charm", which targets all party Digimon, but tends to miss. Phantomon first appear in the Eighth Child arc and have "Death Sentence". It only hits a single target, but is more accurate than most attacks with the same effect. They're quite dangerous enemies, as they are Perfect/Ultimate level and resist most attacks except those with holy properties (like Garudamon's "Shadow Wing" or Angemon's "Heaven's Knuckle"). Vamdemon/Myotismon has "Dead Scream", which also has chance to cause Shock and Break. Fortunately, he rarely uses it. Garbamon first appear during the Pinocchimon/Puppetmon arc and have "Dark Hole", which hits the entire party. Notably, you must fight three of them at one point. Jureimon/Cherrymon has "Cherry Bomb" that has a chance to reduce HP to 1. Hope you have a HP recovery item/skill, since you must fight him with only MetalGarurumon. Apocalymon, the last boss for the Adventure part, has his signature attack "Darkness Zone". Beside inflicting HP to 1, it also may cause Sticky, Skill Seal, and Poison status all at once. That being said, it only hits a single target and has low accuracy (and sometimes fails to cause HP to 1 even if it does hit).

When it's the second or third on an enemy, it generally means that the boss is either going to make a dying speech or Motive Rant before blowing up anyway, or it's going to regenerate all its health so you can fight it for real. That one time where it was 500%? It involved a Goldion Crusher on Palparepa. And then there's the "Mercy" spirit command, which, if it works, makes any attack deal just enough damage to reduce the target's HP to 10 without killing them. It's useful for keeping high-level enemies alive so weaker characters can kill them for EXP. It's also used as a minor plot point in Super Robot Wars Z, where Kira Yamato in his Thou Shalt Not Kill phase always has the Mercy effect. Heero Yuy's "I'll Kill You" command in the SD G Generation games for the Nintendo DS increases his attack power at the cost of, ironically, not being able to kill.

It's not as horrible as you'd think, considering everyone gets capped to level one for the event. Tonberries have an attack called "Throat Stab" that brings you down to 5% HP. Luckily, it has a very short range, so you can avoid it by walking away when he tries to use it. And if you do get hit with it, it resets your accumulated enmity, so unless you're alone the tonberry will attack someone else (most likely the mages healing you to full).

HP to 1 / int_9f89a5f0	comment	PokÃ©mon: The move "False Swipe" (and its event-exclusive counterpart "Hold Back") is an ordinary attack (similar to "Scratch"), but has the added effect of never reducing the opponent to zero HP. It is useful primarily for weakening wild PokÃ©mon so they can be more easily caught, but can't save them from themselves (recoil damage, etc), which is why you should always have status effect moves in case the mon does have self-damaging moves. Prior to Generation V, poisoned PokÃ©mon in the player's party would lose health for every few steps taken outside of battle. In Generation IV, a PokÃ©mon brought down to 1 HP by poison outside of battle would be cured of poison; previous generations had the PokÃ©mon faint instead. The move "Endeavor" (deals damage to make the target's HP equal to the user's) inflicted by a weak PokÃ©mon with the item Focus Sash or the ability Sturdy can be this against the strongest of PokÃ©mon. This strategy is generally named F.E.A.R.note "Focus Sash, Endeavor, (Quick) Attack, Rattata" or "F***ing Evil Annoying Rodent"

HP to 1 / int_a81325d3	comment	The Final Fantasy series loves this trope. Beatrix has this as her Finishing Move in Final Fantasy IX. When she executes it, the battle is over; from a story standpoint, the party is defeated as if it's a KO. She considers this her ultimate move and taunts/threatens the party with death after she uses it, which is very strange considering you can regen out of the critical status while the game fades to black, reducing the "impact" of the scene. The final boss, Necron, boasts his "Blue Shockwave" attack, which cuts the victim down to 1 HP. The final monster Zidane has to fight during the "You're Not Alone!" sequence has an attack that does this, which triggers Garnet/Dagger's entrance by casting Curaga on you (even if she hasn't learnt it yet). The Blue magic Death Claw allows Blue Mages to reduce monsters (and a few midbosses!) to single-digit hp with a successful casting. It stuns them too, leaving them unable to heal in preparation for the follow up. Final Fantasy IV's "Tornado" spell (and its upgraded counterpart, "Maelstrom", usable only by certain enemies) reduces its target(s)' HP to single digits, providing a much the same effect. Final Fantasy IV: The After Years loves to do this during boss fights. Adamantoise in Yang's Story is one. It also happens at the end of The Lunarian's Story too, after the fight between Golbez/Fusoya and Zeromus's Malice. This also happens to Palom when he sees the performance in Troia's Pub. After the dancers reveal themselves as old women, Palom is whisked away... after the cutscene, Palom's HP is left at one. Final Fantasy VI: The spell "Fallen One" ("Heartless Angel" in the GBA translation) makes all of your warriors' HP fall to 1. When you meet Kefka at the very end of the game, this is his opening move. Other enemies besides Kefka can use it, but it usually involves using Relm's "Sketch"/"Control" command or one of Gau's rages. Holy Dragon 2 in the GBA edition of Final Fantasy VI can randomly Counter-Attack with Heartless Angel, so if your timing is off, he could counter with it and immediately follow up with his normal turn consisting of a spell that hits the entire field. Final Fantasy VII: Sephiroth can use "Heartless Angel" in his One-Winged Angel form at the end of the game. He even kept it for his Superboss fights in Kingdom Hearts (it actually reduced your HP/MP to zero if you didn't interrupt it - fortunately, you have Second Chance by then) and his playable appearance in Dissidia Final Fantasy (which mercifully only takes your Brave Points down to 1), so in a way, it's almost become his trademark attack. It's also used by him in Crisis Core during the Nibelheim event. Final Fantasy VIII: Ultimecia's penultimate "Hell's Judgement" attack causes the entire party's health to drop to one. During the second Laguna dream sequence, the last Esthar Soldier (Terminator) has a final attack called "Soul Crush" that will put Kiros and Ward down to 1 HP. Kiros and Ward are severely wounded in the following cutscene after the battle. Mobile Type 8, a boss in Lunatic Pandora, has another party-wide example in its Corona attack. Superboss Ultima Weapon (and its even more powerful palette swap Omega) use an attack that inflicts exactly 9998 points of damage, meaning that it will only reduce your HP to 1 as long as it's maxed out. Otherwise it's instant death. Inverted in Final Fantasy X with the giant bird monsters, who are always reduced to at least 1 HP before being killable (they start off in the air, then land once sufficiently damaged, but even a 99999 hit won't outright kill them from the start). Final Fantasy X-2 has Yojimbo and the Magus Sisters, the former being much more annoying as it also knocks the party's MP to one; you're screwed without an Alchemist. Final Fantasy XII has Sight Unseeing, which reduces the target's HP to single digits with a chance of said digit being 0 and causing a One-Hit Kill. It only works if the caster is afflicted with the Blind status, though. Final Fantasy XIII has Orphan who uses an attack called Merciless Judgement to bring your party's HP to 100 (relatively speaking, a critical amount). Easily fixed by using a paradigm with healers, but an instant kill if anyone is poisoned when he uses it. The final boss of Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII also uses the the Heartless Angel, but it's made much more manageable by the fact that you can see it coming in advance and guard it to prevent it from working. Several Final Fantasy games had Cactuars with two attacks: One would do 1 HP of damage, the other would do <Player's current HP - 1> damage.

HP to 1 / int_f04b4111	comment	Metroid: Super Metroid: The titular metroid reduces Samus' energy to exactly 1 point, regardless of any health tanks she has. This is more of a plot point than any serious danger; while there's nothing you can do to stop the energy drain (apart from not getting grabbed in the first place), at the last possible second the metroid recognizes Samus as the one it imprinted on when it hatched and it lets her go. Luckily, there's no other enemies between Samus and an energy-restoring station. The Final Boss (Mother Brain) resorts to her Laser Brain Attack when dealt enough damage, draining three Energy Tanks (or six, if the player is not wearing the Varia Suit), about sixty-five Missiles, and Samus's entire supply of Super Missiles and Power Bombs. What qualifies it for this trope (given that the player can have up to nineteen Energy Tanks' worth of health by the end of the game) is that not only is it impossible to dodge the attack, but she'll keep doing it until the player's health becomes low enough that one more Laser Brain Attack would be lethal. Furthermore, if the player has more than one Energy Tank remaining, she'll rub in her imminent victory by launching weaker attacks at Samus (who at this point is too exhausted to move) until this is no longer the case. Finally, she'll attempt to finish Samus off with one final Laser Brain Attack - at which point the infant "Super Metroid" will rush in and save Samus's life. If Samus can't survive the first of the Laser Brain attacks, however, she will die. Metroid Fusion: The Final Boss (an Omega Metroid) is immune to Samus's entire arsenal and knocks her down to 1 energy with a single swipe, leaving her helpless. An SA-X comes into the scene and saves Samus by allowing her to absorb it, giving her the Ice Beam that can harm the Omega Metroid.

HP to 1 / int_f9b9dfe4	comment	In Radiant Dawn: Whispers gain the mastery skill Bane, which instantly reduces enemy HP to one. Of course, considering that the chances of you getting any Whispers other than Sothe, combined with the chances of Sothe turning out to be any good, this is rather worthless. It can also proc on the second attack, when even a basic hit would've killed the target. Also your other characters will often have a mastery skill that is basically "ton of damage. If he manages to survive somehow, halve his speed for 5 turns." In fact, this is the case with most mastery skills. Most of these added effects tend to be completely irrelevant since most of the skills are overpowered and will seldom not kill everything. Of course, no generic enemies nor non-plot relevant bosses will ever have these skills (or any non-mastery skills, unless they're bosses) because they never make it to the third tier, for obvious reasons. Bane is just Lethality and Mercy in one skill. The former (only belonging to Volke) kills things instantly (unless they're counted as a boss character) and the latter (belonging to Elincia) makes it so that it's impossible to kill anyone since your character will stop doing damage after an enemy's hit one HP. Mercy has its uses, but the game puts it on Elincia after a certain point in the game, but doesn't tell you, which can cause players to accidentally head out into battle with her being unable to kill things.

That said: you will survive the impact itself, but depending on your hit points left whatever is around you will off you pretty quick. This used to be used as a offensive PVP and PVE trick by Blasters who used to have an effect that their damage went up the less HP they had. They'd drop onto a team of Villians and pop off their strongest Area attack, often one-shotting a whole villain team. Defiance no longer works this way. Then there's The Magistrium trial, where the Big Bad hits your raid league with a nuke, bringing everyone's HP to 1. This is his opening attack, he only uses it once, and it's funny because most of his attacks can one-hit-kill most characters anyway. So in essence, a point-blank hit by a nuclear bomb is the least lethal thing that you have to worry about at this point. Yikes! (For clarification, by this point your character is an "Incarnate" who's half-way up the power ladder. You're fighting someone who's made it to the top of said ladder already)

After defeating Bowletta, Mario and Luigi are beaten and reduced to 1 HP in an unavoidable attack from a timed Bob-Omb, which leaves them weak enough to be vacuum-eaten by Bowletta. When they wake up inside Bowletta's body, they are immediately attacked by Cackletta, complete with multiple body parts (with new attacks you haven't seen before unless you've already died here) which predictably will kill you outright if you don't dodge them. On the original GBA version, this will happen before you even get a chance to heal unless you have done enough Level Grinding to get at least one Bro's Speed to be greater than hers, or you use equipment with the First Strike effect. You can also survive by correctly timing Action Commands to dodge the attacks, but it requires good skill because her attack animations are long and can easily throw off your timing. Luckily, the 3DS version adjusts Cackletta's stats to the point where it's very likely you'll move first, allowing you to heal straight away.
