"Instant Death" Radius	comment	Sometimes the best way to make a powerful boss character is to make sure that they have really, really good melee/short-ranged attacks. So good, in fact, that it's just about impossible for a Player Character to get anywhere near this boss without ending up dead in a matter of seconds. This is because the boss in question is contained in an Instant Death Radius — an attack range in which they can easily kill you, but in which you are just about incapable of even getting close enough to touch them, let alone denting them. Done well, this kind of enemy can force a player into using a very clear kind of strategy — keep as far away from it as possible and use ranged attacks, wait for an opening when it can't attack, strike quickly and get away before it can retaliate; or throw enough Cannon Fodder units at it that it can't wipe all of them out at once. But other times this kind of enemy can be incredibly aggravating when there's major character customization involved. Sure, you may want to play a melee-focused class such as a warrior, but guess what — the monster's attack radius is much larger than yours, and its attacks are substantially stronger. Level up as you might, trying to go mano a mano with this thing is going to result in your death no matter how many Critical Hits you land (generally zero — one if you're lucky). A Puzzle Boss may invoke this trope as a way of making it perfectly clear to the player that they're not going to beat it by conventional means, as will the Tactical Suicide Boss to ensure that the player waits for their opening. A Short-Range Shotgun may cause this effect. See also Area of Effect; a monster with an Instant Death Radius may make use of such area-of-effect abilities centered on itself as a means of denoting that radius. A player character may have a very powerful special ability, typically a Limit Break Herd-Hitting Attack, that also utilizes this trope as a handy tool for dealing with hordes of enemies.

"Instant Death" Radius / int_101bfcd7	comment	In Sengoku Basara, several of the Mighty Glacier fighters have this going on, especially if you take their Super Arts into account. Going into melee with Honda Tadakatsu, Tachibana Muneshige or Shimazu Yoshihiro (and especially getting caught in their Super Arts) can cost you a significant amount of your health bar in an instant. Oda Nobunaga takes this to extremes in the third game, however: When channeling his gigantic demonic Super Mode, he cannot be flinched, his attacks have titanic reach, deal horrible damage, and juggles you to boot. The only way to deal with him if you don't have a good ranged attack (preferably with knockback) is to simply run away until he stops channelling it.

"Instant Death" Radius / int_147c3902	comment	Every boss in Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume other than the first one can automatically use a special attack at the end of their chain of attacks against you, even if they wouldn't be able to do so had you taken another story path and recruited them. Unless you have a lot of HP or you're using one of the main character's unique abilities, this is for all intents and purposes an automatic knockout. What's worse, if your characters attack en masse and the counter manages to KO one of you without the use of a special, they'll use the special on a second attacking character, typically knocking them out too. Against sword-using bosses like Darius, this means you shouldn't let anyone other than the main character get within reach of the counter, and maybe not even him until you've worn your foe down a bit. Against mages like Liselotte, well, here's hoping you've got at least five revival items on hand. And then there's the final boss of the good path, whose counter targets every character who attacked her and has a chance of stunning anyone who survives it.

"Instant Death" Radius / int_1cc09117	comment	Bleach: The Segunda Espada, Baraggan Louisenbairn, had two such abilities: his Time Dilation Field, which slows anything that comes near him to a crawl, and Respira, which spreads rapidly upon touching any area of the victim's body and kills them — unless they quickly amputate the affected body part. Both of these abilities made it impossible for Sui-Feng to even land an attack, since she couldn't risk getting anywhere near him, without getting slowed down or having it affecting any part of her body. Shortly after Baraggan's Instant Death Radius is dealt with, SÅ�suke Aizen evolves into a form that's so awash with spiritual pressure that anyone without spiritual awareness just flat out disintegrates if he gets too close to them, in addition to being a One-Man Army beyond that. This presents a serious problem for Ichigo's spiritually aware but non-powered friends, who are forced to either Run or Die from him and Gin until Rangiku and later Ichigo arrive to deal with them.

In "Carnage vs. Lucy", the range and power of Lucy's vectors slice him to bits whenever he tries to get close, just like her victims from Elfen Lied.

Ashnard does enough damage to take out most characters in one move, and has a flying movement range of 10! On Hard, he will take any opportunity he can to kill weaker characters. In Fire Emblem Heroes, Surtr's weapon of choice Sinmara deals a flat 20 damage to anything within two spaces at the start of his turn, and his playable incarnation has a unique C skill that also debuffs everyone in the same radius while buffing himself. Anything that gets too close to him is going to be eviscerated.

It lacks the ability to upgrade itself, but it comes pre-equipped with flamethrower that can be fired while moving. Once you get the 'Purifying Flames' upgrade though, it becomes this trope incarnate. Nothing can withstand more than a few seconds being bathed in its flame, your best bet is to never let it get in range.

"Instant Death" Radius / int_247422c7	comment	Ships of the wall in Honor Harrington can almost instantly annihilate anything smaller than them that strays into their energy weapon burn-through range. This is vividly demonstrated in The Short Victorious War: One Manticoran dreadnought. Two divisions of Havenite battlecruisers. The latter die to a man barely inconveniencing the former. However, this example is downplayed: while they can burn through your Sidewalls, they cannot punch through any impeller wedge, no matter how weak. The People Republic's blunder was amplified by sending battlecruisers, the most arthritic non-wall ship class on the helm, which could not block the line of fire in time. Also, treecats. Get within jumping range of a hostile one without body armor, and you'd better hope he settles for blinding you.

While you can dodge it and get close to him, you better not take it for granted as Seath can make the entire surrounding area you fight in covered in crystals. And if the damage doesn't kill you, the Curse effect probably will.

Most of them share the same gimmick of having short range, but rapid, incredibly powerful attacks which will instantly kill almost any cat that touches them. In their stages, each Cyclone tends to function as an Advancing Boss of Doom, with strategies to defeat them typically revolving around bogging them down with status effects and knockback instead of fighting them directly.

Trying to get into a Guttertank's business, shotgun in hand, will just end in a lightning-fast Megaton Punch to the face that will launch you into the ceiling if there's any, and just send you clear out of the arena otherwise. The attack does have a lengthy wind-down and a parry window if it misses, but only if it misses, so you have to either bait the punch out or just never get close; slugging it out isn't an option.

"Instant Death" Radius / int_2acb12c5	comment	Paranid ships in the X-Universe series can mount a gun known as the Phased Shockwave Generator, which instead of shooting solid slugs or energy bolts produces an expanding wavefront of high-energy death. Because of how splash damage works, anything struck by the wavefront takes absurd amounts of damage (which is the main reason it was nerfed to capital-ship-only in X3: Terran Conflict). Paranid capital ships can mount PSGs to cover almost all attack vectors, which makes approaching within 1.5 km of a hostile Paranid so armed an extremely bad idea. Kha'ak capital ships on the other hand, have Hitscan anti-capital ship weapons, which are perfectly capable of slicing any fighter craft to bits within a second, unlike standard anti-capital ship weaponry which are incapable of tracking fast targets, and even more unlikely to hit said fighters with their slow moving disco balls of death

"Instant Death" Radius / int_2dfb1427	comment	Many Forgotten Realms games, but the Baldur's Gate series in particular uses this trope. Sometimes the use of this trope is forgivable, as when you confront a powerful demon. Other times it's just somebody's random bodyguard who's so good at creaming that he causes the near-instantaneous Berserk "spell" to fail. Baldur's Gate II inverts this by eventually giving the player access to a character who can transform into a creature with an Instant Death Radius. Beholders, on the other hand, are a lot less scary once you get all up in their business. According to the official D&D Monster Manual, they are well aware of that fact. Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance however has this trope in full effect on harder difficulties. The melee character gets oneshot by almost anything before he can close range and swing his weapon.

The Love Thumper is a Maylay Shield (adds damage to melee attacks when shields are down) but which throws explosive blasts onto the attacks for giggles, while the Flame of the Firehawk is a Nova Shield (emits a blast of elemental energy when it goes down) that keeps blasting until shields recover again. Either way, if Krieg is nearby and his shields are down, the various menaces of Pandora are going to regret it.

And wizards have the power to amplify sounds to unnatural levels.

"Instant Death" Radius / int_3cf15492	comment	In MechWarrior Living Legends, the BattleArmor relies on short-ranged weapons for the bulk of its firepower, as its long ranged weapons have poor DPS. Annoyingly for battlearmor players, approaching anywhere near something armed with low-caliber autocannons is a recipe for instant death, as a single blast from any of the rapid fire autocannons will gib them. Worse still, Anti-Air tanks and battlemechs are also Anti-Infantry. As such, battlearmor players must coordinate with their allies to take down anti-infantry vehicles before they can approach the enemy and begin to RIP AND TEAR!

"Instant Death" Radius / int_3d776ce3	comment	Alpha Protocol: A player can specialize his character in stealth and melee attacks (and since there aren't very many stealth games out there, a lot of fans of this playstyle bought Alpha Protocol), and then run into the game's bosses that can't be snuck up on, and can kill you in a few hits while they can take 50 shotgun shells to the face. There isn't really a way to beat these bosses unless you invested in some guns. The problem is that these bosses only pop up after the first act, so you might have invested several hours in character that can't get past these bosses. There is a skill called Point Blank Shot that allows you to finish a melee combo with a pistol shot. It's extremely powerful against bosses, but requires you to invest a lot of skill points in your melee ability (it's the last skill you unlock, at 13 out of 15 ranks in), meaning you're either specializing in it early to the detriment of your other skills, or you're not going to have it for the first few bosses.

Needless to say, it effortlessly wipes out anything and everything in range, and the only option is to fire at it with a giant sniper rifle from outside its Instant Death Radius. Ramiel then reveals it can attack outside that radius... but its accuracy isn't perfect at that range.

Going anywhere near them when you're supposed to be defending will result in you dying in one hit, no matter what your configuration is, and the shots fired at you will be all but impossible to dodge. Your only option is to stay away from the enemy capital ships until your team gets the green light to attack them. This is also the case of you try to go for the enemy team's flagship without taking out the frigates or light cruisers first.

And if you just killed it, you should vacate an even bigger radius around it because its final explosion will definitely kill you if you're anywhere vaguely nearby. Nemesis bots shouldn't be approached for any reason; they can grab you in their claws in the blink of an eye and will spend the next few seconds pressing you into electrified paste, usually not dropping you until you're downed.

Ifrit will use Hellfire to utterly obliterate anyone on the battlefield unless you destroy the Infernal Nails that he channels the ability through, which allows you to survive. Garuda summons Maelstroms that will cause significant damage if a player stands in them, which she uses to restrict the battle arena, and will summon a deadly wind attack from the center of the arena that can be survived, but only by tanks. The trick is to prevent her from destroying the stone pillars during the battle, and take shelter behind them to protect yourself from the wind.

The shield shows up in the DLC mission The Ten Million Relief Plan, with small drones that are intended to block your missiles by making them blow up early. However, if you fly through the shield, you'll take 10% damage every half a second, which makes them functionally impossible to approach. Ace Combat 7 also has two pilots that are both this: Trigger and Mihaly Shilage. Mihaly will shoot down anyone that he gets close enough to, no questions asked, with the notable exception of Trigger. Trigger, on the other hand, is the antithesis of this for his allies, to the point that "Stick with Trigger, and you'll make it" becomes a survival mantra for the second half of the game: he's still absolutely devastating to his enemies, but he makes sure that anyone around him survives as well.

"Instant Death" Radius / int_49ad83ee	comment	World of Warcraft has many examples, as well as some inversions: While boss mechanics can vary wildly, there tend to be some baseline concepts common to all. Most bosses have some sort of ground AoE that will appear randomly in the arena and will devastate anyone who stands in it, a cleave or breath attack that will devastate anyone standing in front of the boss (except the tank, who must face it away from the group), and some sort of tail whip that punishes anyone standing behind the boss. In other words, while everyone has something to worry about, melee players generally have an extra layer of proximity to the boss from certain angles to worry about. Many bosses exaggerate it further by having a whirlwind or other close-range AoE that forces all melee players (sometimes even the tank) to temporarily flee or be instantly destroyed. Frequently found on at least one of the members of each Quirky Miniboss Squad (Maulgar, Kaelthas, Illidari Council). The Shade of Aran will pull casters in to melee range shortly before casting his instant death radius spell. Demonform Illidan is so dangerous in melee that he's tanked not by a regular tank class but by a warlock, so they can hold aggro without getting near him. (And also because he only deals spell damage in this form, making their armor useless.) The Zombie Chows during the Gluth encounter in Naxxramas. In the Northrend version of the instance, they have 500,000 health points - more than some heroic bosses. They have to be kept in line to avoid them from healing Gluth, but they have a melee attack that applies an armour-reducing debuff. Thus, they're usually kited by ranged attackers with a slowing ability, like frost mages. Yogg-Saron, befitting his status as an Eldritch Abomination, basically has this when players reach his brain. It casts a 20 second cast time spell that turns everyone still in there insane... which is worse than death in the sense that they are turned against the other players and the effect persists through death, making it pointless to use any in-combat means to revive them. Sindragosa pulls the entirety of the group to the centre of her oddly shaped hitbox before beginning to cast a devastating aura attack. It happens quickly enough that players are recommended to turn around while they're flying through the air. Inverted by Loken in the Halls of Lightning; who while possessing a periodically-used lightning-nova attack that can inflict severe pain on lesser-geared characters in a significant radius, also has a pulsing electrical aura that actually does more damage the further away you are from him. Loken is a spiritual successor to Murmur in the Shadow Labyrinth, which had an inverse version of this trope active whenever he wasn't casting his nova attack in the heroic version, meaning that everyone had to stay fairly close to the boss and run away at the right time just outside the circle on the ground that marks the radius. A few other (mostly immobile) bosses had comparable abilities they only used when no one was near them, mostly to prevent players from trying to cheat. Certain outdoors raid bosses will apply "Mark" debuffs against players they kill which will stop the player from fighting them again for a while. This is done to prevent graveyard zerging. The four Nightmare green dragons place a Mark of Nature that puts you to sleep if you approach, the blue dragon Azuregos freezes you into an iceblock if you try, and the Outland Fel Reaver Doomwalker has a Mark of Death. You guess what it does. Several Heroic Bosses in Cataclysm have an Instant Death Radius as part of their fights: Rom'ogg Bonecrusher pulls everyone into Melee Range and spawns an object called Chains of Woe that binds everyone to that spot. It must be quickly destroyed before Rom'ogg completes his attack and basically one-shots most players in range. Ozruk has the ability Shatter, which causes a visible radius to appear around him as he lifts a leg. If you do not run out of the radius in time, you pretty much die. To make matters worse, he paralyzes everyone before using it, so you need to have a Damage Over Time effect on you in order to escape. Luckily his mechanics do provide such options. Assad has a sort of 'inverse death radius', in that everywhere but a designed safe zone is the death radius every now and then. To complicate matters, he casts Static Cling which you need to jump to avoid. Vanessa Vancleef has an Instant Death Radius right at the end of the fight, where she basically tries to take you down with her by igniting a barrel of Gunpowder. Luckily you have several seconds to run. As a panic button, administrators can spawn avatars that have a literal instant death radius. Mist of Pandaria inverted this trope with some of the rare-spawn champions. If an attacking character moves outside of a set range, the champion will trigger an attack that is lethal or nearly so. The Pandaren champion has an AoE in which he'll periodically perform a whirlwind-type attack that chases his current target, forcing players to flee. If they move outside his range, he'll cast an attack that can take more than half their health in one hit. The Champion of Arms and Shadows in the Landfall patch both have powerful attacks that only trigger when a player attempts to flee. Arms will perform a leap to their target, potentially one-shotting them, while Shadows will perform a similarly-powered knife throw. The Throne of Thunder raid adds Blizzard's answer to the Tonberry, Gastropods. Giant snails that fixate on a player and crawl towards them, anything they touch dies. Very dangerous for melee to attack as it will occasionally change the player it's fixating on, and immediately change direction; even worse, you fight them in a sewer with narrow paths to walk on, and a circular staircase where the banister will block your shots, meaning ranged players have to get fairly close to attack. One frequent version of this is an Instant Death Radius in front of the boss for anyone but the tanks. Dragons and some beasts also have one in the back (swatting players with their tail) that anyone needs to avoid.

"Instant Death" Radius / int_4ce5263e	comment	XCOM: Enemy Unknown Captain-level Assaults in can get Close Combat Specialist, a skill that grants an automatic reaction shot against any enemy that gets close to them, with no need for Overwatch. Keep in mind, Assaults favor shotguns, and in the late game can pack the Alloy Cannon, one of the most powerful soldier weapons in the whole game. And even better, there's no limit to how many times it can trigger, so up to eight enemies can get shot by rushing close to an Assault with a fully loaded weapon if you have Ammo Conservation developed in the Foundry. This tends to spell doom for Chryssalids and Berserkers, as they're melee-exclusive and tend to sprint straight to the first enemy they see when revealed, which tends to be an Assault; Chryssalids in particular tend to be one-shotted by Alloy Cannon reaction fire that manages to hit. With the "Training Roulette" Second Wave option, any soldier can get this, and it can stack with Opportunist, a traditionally Sniper-exclusive skill that removes the aim penalty of reaction shots and allows them to crit. S.H.I.V.s can jump on the bandwagon with the "Sentinel Drone" Foundry project. It works exactly like Close Combat Specialist, with the added benefit of the S.H.I.V. regaining 2 health at the end of every turn. It's only got one drawback compared to CCS: if the S.H.I.V. tanks a Critical Hit, Sentinel Drone is disabled for the rest of the mission.

By itself, it deals 1/4 of a player's damage to all enemies in a small radius around them every half-second. However, the cooldown can be reduced further making it deal damage much more often, the area size can be increased, and it can score Critical Hits meaning that with sufficient Critical Chance and Critical Damage, many enemies that enter your radius will die in seconds, if not immediately. The Seismic Dance item can do the same as Onion, except it's triggered when the player moves a short distance instead of a cooldown interval and deals 30% of your damage.

"Instant Death" Radius / int_684610	comment	BlazBlue: Mathematically, if not thematically, inverted with Hakumen and Nu-13. As bosses in a fighting game's Arcade Mode, they have smarter AI than the opponents the player has fought before. This means they seem conscious of the fact that there are ranges at which they can attack, but most characters can't hit them back. Hakumen has a space between "whatever range his opponent can hit at" and "the end of his BFS" where he can attack with impunity. Nu has vicious and unpredictable ranged attacks —for Nu and her Confusion Fu, the Instant Death Radius is the half of the screen farthest from her. On higher difficulties or against a skilled human player, you do not want to get within grab range of Tager. Ragna's Devoured by Darkness Distortion Drive bites off a lot of the enemy's health and gives it to him. Pity about it being so Awesome, but Impractical, starting from being limited to grab range and getting worse from there. Then, there is Unlimited Ragna. His Devoured by Darkness is in no way impractical and a 2-hit kill that vastly refills his considerable life bar. BlazBlue: Continuum Shift has Unlimited Hazama, who literally has a ring around him that drains your health.

Said component follows up on this with the wonderful attack Multi-Strike that can potentially hit everyone in the party two to seven times for 200+ physical damage per hit, where you'll most likely have about 500 Hit Points for the main characters by that point, if not lower.

"Instant Death" Radius / int_6a8aff51	comment	In The Stormlight Archive, Shardblades are usually about 6 feet long, weigh almost nothing, and pass through almost anything with little to no resistance. Any flesh hit is instantly killed, including killing a person if their spine is hit. Using a Shardblade against opponents without a Blade or Shardplate of their own basically just amounts to wide, sweeping swings that instantly cut down entire squads of men unfortunate enough to be nearby. They're not very practical upclose, but if the user has Shardplate, you're now in close proximity to someone strong enough to probably punch a hole through you, wearing armor you'd be lucky to scratch. Taking a Shardbearer with both Blade and Plate (without Shards of your own) basically just invovles throwing as many bodies as you possibly can at them in an attempt to overwhelm them. Needless to say it doesn't generally work.

"Instant Death" Radius / int_6c1234ed	comment	Dwarf Fortress: In Adventure Mode, if you lose stealth within about 10 squares of a giant cave spider, no one will find your body unless you have companions to take the bites first. And Armok help you if you get a web-spitting Forgotten Beast or Titan, be it Fortress or Adventure Mode. You will get webbed, with the removal of dodging and blocking such a thing implies, you will get smacked by a limb bigger than you are, and you will die. Crossbow range in Fortress Mode also qualifies. Let's just say that crossbows could potentially punch through all of your internal organsnote with a single bolt if you are very unlucky and leave it at that. And they used to have firing rates akin to machine guns. Today, it's not quite as bad, but you can still take a bolt to a limb and immediately pass out from pain, thus ensuring you will spend the next few minutes getting clubbed to death. Approach with caution. Forgotten beasts can get attacks that spew large amounts of poisonous gas/mist/dust all around them, and depending on how merciful the Random Number God is feeling that day, it kills your dwarves at varying speeds, with the worst making them bleed all the blood they have in two seconds or so. And that's not mentioning the physics glitch that makes the dust variant of it knock your dwarves around at alarming speeds, ensuring someone will get a fatal meeting with a stone floor/wall.

"Instant Death" Radius / int_747d9a6f	comment	It's generally a bad idea to go melee with the stronger enemies in [PROTOTYPE]; hit and run tactics are usually the way to go. This is especially true when fighting Badass Normal Cross. Yes, his missile launcher hurts. But his stun baton is even worse. This is inverted in the case of tanks. Aside from using your own vehicle, the more powerful melee powers such as the Hammerfist or the Blade are the best methods to take out tanks. Especially the Thermobaric Tank. When you face that beast, the goal is to stick to it as closely as possible to keep it from firing. Otherwise, it will kill even a fully upgraded Alex with full health in one or two hits. But it's (mostly) okay, as pretty much all normal infantry that Alex gets close enough to will usually die within seconds, and even the aforementioned Elite Mooks aren't much problem if they're caught alone. Then you get to Groundspike Graveyard and Tendril Barrage Devastators, which can expand the radius somewhat...

Gyorg, the giant fish boss in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. Attempting to take the fight to him in the water will put you in range of his unavoidable (and highly damaging) bites. The final battle in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker is a test of patience; get too close, too quickly, and you'll take a quick sword to the face. Ghirahim from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword can quickly become this if you don't figure out how to play quickly or are starting to panic and start randomly swinging. It doesn't help that he's the first boss either (though at this point, if you're doing badly enough, he'll start giving you pointers on how to fight him, mainly because he's an arrogant bastard). Skyward Sword also has The Imprisoned. The most obvious method to defeat it involves chopping off its toes. This is made difficult by the fact that it shoots out shockwaves from it's feet every time it takes a step. Also, this is one of the game's recurring boss battles and you don't have any real ranged attacks or ways to stun it for the first few times. You could, of course, just jump on his head and skip the stunning part entirely.

Normally only Paladins have a chance to not die, provided that they have the Sentinel ability at the ready, or Invincible if Sentinel is still on a timer... that is, if said Paladin actually uses Invincible! Thieves could also survive with Perfect Dodge, but a Thief rarely tanks outside of soloing, if ever, so you might not see it as much. More literally is the final boss of the DLC story pack, A Crystaline Prophecy. The final boss is a stationary crystal. It has some hard hitting aoe spells, but nothing players haven't tangled with before. The problem? It also has an aoe attack centered on itself that charms all party members in range and turn them into a cute little plant monster (in look). And it can use Draw In to drag the current target of its ire right into proximity. Melee players have been screwed in trying to find parties for this fight, which is why it pays to have many spellcaster friends. Charybdis is a giant octopus who can multi attack up to six times per round. The only way to fight him solo is to either load up a ridiculous amount of evasion gear on a Thief so he can't hit you or to slow his movement speed as a Red Mage and run around the room until your damage over time spells slowly whittle down his hp over the course of several hours. Odin's Astral Flow Zantetsuken is an Instant Death Radius, it will kill any player close by who is not "showing reverence". (AKA, resting. And then it still causes a fair amount of damage.) It actually works for players with Odin, but only a chance of it instantly KO'ing every mob in the vicinity. Several Notorious Monsters have "aura" effects, status ailments that will apply to players if they are within range. While some of them are strictly annoying, some of them can kill you, such as Poison, Bio and Doom. Yes, Square loves killing you so much that there are mobs that can kill you even if they aren't thinking about you.

(His speed and strength is even more surprising when you consider that, although he certainly doesn't look it, Thorkell is about 50 years old when main character Thorfinn first encounters him, and that for anyone else those axes would be awkwardly large and slow weapons.) Fights involving Thorkell and any opponent without Plot Armor usually start and end with Thorkell swinging those axes of his with blinding speed, and thanks to both Thorkell's enormous reach and the length of the axes, his opponents start losing limbs or getting cut in half long before they get close enough to reach him with their own weapons.

In Zer0, Octo Diablo sits in the water in the middle of the stage, away from melee reach, with the only way to damage it with swords is by going after the damage-giving tentacles. Not only that, but he has a Spin Attack that does three sets of damage to anyone close enough, and by close enough, we mean anyone that isn't up against the outer borders of the stage. Like Octo Diablo, Reyburn has a nearly-unavoidable Spin Attack for anyone who gets too close, however his ranged attacks are just as bad. Subverted with Humilias, where the safest place to be in the fight is right up close near his legs. And God forbid you choose to make a melee-specialised character in Phantasy Star Universe.

"Instant Death" Radius / int_90e2f673	comment	BattleTech Several classic mech designs (Hunchback, Victor, Demolisher, Atlas, you name them) have a reputation for this. The thing they have in common is the AC/20 — the biggest autocannon in the game, short ranged but able to inflict potentially crippling damage all to a single location in one shot. As a result, most units much prefer to stay outside its nine-hex 'bubble of doom'. This also applies to the Gauss Rifle family and Particle Projector Cannon weapons, both of which may hit only 75% as hard as the AC/20, but reach out to a range in excess of 20 hexes while being capable of taking off a 'Mech's head with a single shot. DropShips, when landed on the surface of a planet, are effectively enormous battle fortresses, typically carry upwards of a dozen long ranged weapons like LRM-20s and the aforementioned Gauss Rifles and PPCs. Because of their sheer firepower and the ability to almost instantly destroy anything that gets near them, commanders usually try to avoid directly attacking one. The dropships are often essentially boss battles in the videogame adaptation, MechWarrior. The reason for this is actually because a grounded dropship is a huge Sitting Duck and they don't have all that much armor relative to their size, so packing overwhelming firepower is their only real defense. Hilariously, one of the most ridiculously awful 'Mechs in the game, the Urbanmech, has a variant called the UM-R60(L), which removes its primary weapon (the powerful, but not overly so AC/10) and replaces it with an AC/20. While it doesn't carry a lot of ammunition, the end result is a 30 ton 'Mech, one of the lightest and definitely the slowest in the game, being capable of destroying an Assault 'Mech (weighing between 80-100 tons) in a surprise attack if it gets lucky. And gets in range fast enough, since the Urbanmech is very, very slow. While the Urbanmech is mostly considered a joke 'Mech, it is a foolish MechWarrior that doesn't treat it as a threat. This is especially true in an actual urban setting, the hunting grounds it was actually designed for: Turning a building's corner tob suddenly find the Mecha equivalent of an eight gauge shotgun pushed against your face is never fun.

Nothing in the game can stop his scythe attack from killing you, and if you're inside its swing it doesn't even have to touch you. Your character can revive with a Wakestone, but your Pawns will have to be rehired. It is highly advised that your party has a very high sleep resistance if you're planning to face him. Or, don't.

This, along with other uses of that power, allows him to remove oxygen from the area around him, suffocating anyone who comes to close to him. Mihawk will immediately curbstomp anyone who gets within range, befitting of his status of World's Strongest Swordsman; and don't think staying at range will keep you safe either. Notably, even the resident Leeroy Jenkins realizes that attacking him head-on is a bad idea. When Saint Jaygarcia Saturn arrives on Egghead, all the Navy soldiers are explicitly told not to look at him. One of them does, and Saturn uses his powers to make his head explode.

Factor in Stand abilities, which can get quite bizarre and sometimes overpowered but can only be applied under certain strict conditions, and the end result is that approaching some Stand Users without knowing what they can do is often tantamount to suicide.

"Instant Death" Radius / int_b1f436be	comment	Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition makes melee with certain monsters — most notably, any monster that is larger than you — problematic at best and suicide at worst through an unholy combination of the rules for Attacks of Opportunity (which give a player or monster a free attack on anyone getting within melee range) and the fact that monsters in that edition are given Player Character style stats. This frequently leads to situations where melee characters cannot get close enough to actually do damage to such monsters at all without eating horrible damage due to the monsters' longer melee reach, the fact that they threaten every square within that reach, and the fact that they often have very high Strength (and thus a very high attack bonus and damage). The worst monsters about this are Hydras, which have a 10-foot reach and can strike with all of their valid heads (anywhere from five heads to twelve) upon a single attack of opportunity.

Basically it's a situational instant death radius that, ordinarily, only activates when a certain condition is met and is typically not active otherwise. The only problem is that the condition that activates the curse is when said cursed one cherishes the value of life, and so long as that person even slightly cares about anyone, they run the risk of the curse randomly going off and killing everything in the immediate area. This means that in order to prevent the unintentional deaths of those the cursed one holds dear, they pretty much have to either become a stone cold sociopath who has no concept of life having value, or live in self-imposed exile away from everyone lest the curse activate and murder scores of people. This aspect, along with Complete Immortality and a severe case of Mind Rape, are designed to ensure that no one with the curse can ever find happiness, and is the primary reason why Zeref's life sucks so much.

Probably the most infamous straight example lies immediately before the fight with Dawnlight Halls' final boss, Natya Veda, the Great Advisor. Natya Veda's sanctum is protected by a narrow stone walkway over deadly lava, with five aptly-named Death Wards that One-Hit Kill any player who steps into their auras. From the beginning of this gauntlet to the end wherein players kill a "FMI Summoner" that has called forth the invincible "Inevitable Nightmare" responsible for chasing players down the passage, ranged classes must break the Death Wards one by one, while melee classes use their entire repertoires of Status Effects to crowd-control the monsters along the passage (especially the "Guardian Statues" which will throw players into the lava, the aura of the nearest Death Ward, or backward to the Inevitable Nightmare - all of which will result in instant death - if left unchecked). Should the Nightmare reach the Summoner, or the nearest unbroken Death Ward, the entire gauntlet will reset itself.

"Instant Death" Radius / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000 In general, getting too close to any elite melee unit can and will lead to your stuff getting demolished. The list changes depending on the version of the rules, but Khorne-marked units, Titans, anything in Terminator armor, Carnifexes, and Necron Praetorians are always worth giving a wide berth. Many melee-oriented named characters take this trope and run away with it. Kharn the Betrayer, Ghazghkull, Abbadon the Despoiler, Captain Lysander, and many more will all hand you your ass if you get too close. The Eldar Revenant's Instant Death Radius is the size of a normal game table (12" move plus 60" range). Good luck. The Primarchs. Four to five hundred points, if you end your turn within 12" of one you can kiss your unit/expensive combat character goodbye. Eversor assassins should not be allowed anywhere near your army unless you want the entire thing to get brutalized. Yes, even the tanks. The Vindicator's Demolisher cannon has one of the best stats for a weapon in the game, but pitifully short range for a weapon of it's type. One of the reasons the unit is not very popular is because everyone knows about it and the maximum distance, so they will go to absurd lengths to stay out of it while peppering the tank with anti-tank weapons. The Warlord Titan has one of the biggest ones in the game; ignoring all of its weapons, just by dying it will hit everything within a 36 inch radius (NOT diameter) with an attack powerful enough to atomize them. Basically, going up against one, the best result you can hope for is a draw unless you have a titan of your own.

"Instant Death" Radius / int_c0d295c4	comment	Team Fortress 2: The game has the Sentry Guns, and the Engineer getting ready to build said gun can actually see the range of the weapon via a translucent colored sphere with the radius measured out from the barrel. Needless to say, anyone on the opposite team who comes within this range will find themselves on the wrong end of a lead barrage. Though luckily for the other team, attacks to buildings suffer no damage falloff and thus most classes can destroy an unguarded one with ease if they can hit it from outside its range. The Pyro is a blazing deathball within a space of about five meters, and also possesses a rather effective array of melee weapons as well. Any further out however, and nothing in the Pyro's arsenal but secondary weapons will be able to hit you at all. The Heavy basically turns into an Instant Death Radius up to medium range any time the minigun is revved up. At point blank range, anything that has the misfortune to be in front of a Heavy—even another Heavy—will die in less than a second. (The stock minigun has a DPS of around 500, in a game where the maximum health any character can have at any time, without hacking or modding the game outright, is 450). And if the Heavy gets random crits with the Minigun, the death radius expands significantly because crits both increase damage and negate damage falloff. After the Love and War update, it's a little less "instant", as the gun's damaged starts out at half power and increases to full after a continuous second of firing, but at point blank he can still kill another Heavy in less than a second. A later update changed the ramp-up for the minigun to the first second of being spun up, so the heavy's larger instant death radius is maintained through bursts of fire as long as the minigun remains spun-up. Sniper is a strange inversion: if you're a fair distance away and he sees you, Boom, Headshot!. However, if you get in close, it's a toss-up over who will survive, since it's tricky to use the Sniper Rifle at close-range, but Sniper also has some good melee weapons and an SMG.

One of his abilities is a melee-range slow, the other three are some variation of "horribly murder whatever's standing next to me". If Ursa is even moderately farmed and is standing next to an enemy, that enemy is dead.

"Instant Death" Radius / int_d5e9cf36	comment	In XCOM 2, Rangers, the successors of Assaults, can learn Bladestorm, a skill that works much the same as Close Combat Specialist, but instead of a reaction shot, it's a free slash with their considerably powerful sword. With better equipment than the basic metal blade, it can stun enemies or set them on fire, and like Close Combat Specialist, there's no limit to how many times it can activate per turnnote though it's restricted to proccing only once per unit. War of the Chosen amps Bladestorm even further by introducing the melee-oriented Templars, who have the devastating Always Accurate Attack Rend and can learn Bladestorm if you're lucky, and the Lost, zombies that embody Bladestorm fodder. That said, all that awesomeness breaks and breaks hard when a Bladestorm unit gets their personal space invaded by a Muton, the one enemy unit that can Counter-Attack melee strikes with their bayonets to devastating effect.

"Instant Death" Radius / int_d616724d	comment	League of Legends: Mage champions tend to be this. Almost all of them have short range and/or manually aimed skillshots, usually disables that will set you up for a full combo if you predictably run straight at them. Due to this, melee champions are typically built (almost) full tank - this reduces their damage output but lets them actually survive long enough to get in close. Realising melee was not viable, the developers countered with a series of melee champions equipped with gap closers, fast movement speed, active or passive counters to magic burst, and high natural damage to enable them to build tank without losing much damage output. This effectively turned the tables and suddenly it was the melee characters who had instant death radiuses, usually corresponding to the range of their dash. The only way to survive some of the worst bruiser excesses was to stay completely out of range and (desperately) (try to) kite them. Darius is a melee bruiser with zero ranged attacks and no gap closer, but a fairly short ranged pull. Once he pulls you into melee range and starts to apply bleed stacks, you are probably dead unless you have a blink or your Flash is off cooldown. If you manage to stay out of range of that pull, however, he is slow and trivial to kite. Many of the recent bruisers also into this category, ala Riven, Vi, etc. Like most games of this type, teamwork is paramount and can even defeat a heavily fed character. Outside the meta, in order to prevent spawn-killing, the spawn location (known as the Fountain) has a turret-like laser that deals 1000 true damage a second, which means 1000 unblockable damage every second. For reference, most people end games at anywhere from 1500 to 5000 health, meaning death is dealt in seconds.

"Instant Death" Radius / int_dc30219c	comment	Lancer: The IPS-N Tortuga can activate Hyper-Reflex mode to gain one of these. Normally, the Tortuga's weapons (including its formidable Decksweeper Shotgun) are impaired by its HyperDense Armor, which makes it so any damage coming or going outside a radius of 3 is halved. This does not apply to anything within that range - and Hyper-Reflex mode gives it an additional Overwatch Reaction to blast anything trying to move in that range (even outside its turn) and Immobilizes anything getting blasted until the end of the turn. Anything trying to tangle with a Tortuga in close quarters will thus end up eating half its body weight in buckshot and exploding before it can get anything done. Amusingly, some players are known to exploit the Tortuga's unexpectedly good electronic warfare capabilities and buy HORUS Goblin modules that let them hack other armors and force them to walk into said radius.

Even then it is capable of taking out the Spider Mastermind in a single shot at that range. And tables on the Doom wiki indicate it is theoretically possible to do the same to the Cyberdemon. Only theoretically, though, as the random numbers of the damage make that practically impossible. Speaking of Spidey, while it is possible to try to punch the Cyberdemon to death, trying to do it to Spidey will more often than not end badly because her hitscan mega-chaingun will eat you alive and render you unable to actually touch her because of knockback. Brutal Doom gives the Cyberdemon an instakill stomp attack which makes it extremely impractical to fight it with short-range weapons.

"Instant Death" Radius / int_e5de407c	comment	XCOM series has a few: XCOM: Enemy Unknown Captain-level Assaults in can get Close Combat Specialist, a skill that grants an automatic reaction shot against any enemy that gets close to them, with no need for Overwatch. Keep in mind, Assaults favor shotguns, and in the late game can pack the Alloy Cannon, one of the most powerful soldier weapons in the whole game. And even better, there's no limit to how many times it can trigger, so up to eight enemies can get shot by rushing close to an Assault with a fully loaded weapon if you have Ammo Conservation developed in the Foundry. This tends to spell doom for Chryssalids and Berserkers, as they're melee-exclusive and tend to sprint straight to the first enemy they see when revealed, which tends to be an Assault; Chryssalids in particular tend to be one-shotted by Alloy Cannon reaction fire that manages to hit. With the "Training Roulette" Second Wave option, any soldier can get this, and it can stack with Opportunist, a traditionally Sniper-exclusive skill that removes the aim penalty of reaction shots and allows them to crit. S.H.I.V.s can jump on the bandwagon with the "Sentinel Drone" Foundry project. It works exactly like Close Combat Specialist, with the added benefit of the S.H.I.V. regaining 2 health at the end of every turn. It's only got one drawback compared to CCS: if the S.H.I.V. tanks a Critical Hit, Sentinel Drone is disabled for the rest of the mission. In XCOM 2, Rangers, the successors of Assaults, can learn Bladestorm, a skill that works much the same as Close Combat Specialist, but instead of a reaction shot, it's a free slash with their considerably powerful sword.

"Instant Death" Radius / int_ef661e97	comment	Street Fighter This trope is exactly what happens when you get too close to a really good Zangief player (or a really effective computer-controlled Zangief). He can't instantly KO you, but there's a psychological intimidation factor involved: You're basically fighting an Implacable Man who will punish every little mistake with a Spinning Piledriver or its much more brutal version, the Final Atomic Buster. Even at a distance you're still not safe as he can close the gap with his running powerbomb or his Siberian Express from V . Jumping's not safe either as he'll catch you with the Aerial Russian Slam from Alpha 2&3, the more powerful Siberian Blizzard from SSFIV, and the less powerful but still painful Borscht Dynamite from V. Now both Borscht Dynamite and Aerial Russian Slam return in 6 making aerial options against Zangief even more risky. Other fighters from the series are also IDRs in their own way. For example, two of the former members of Mad Gear Hugo from III & IV and Abigail from V. Hugo has a lot of throws in his arsenal including Avalanche Press, the distance closing Meat Squasher, the Shootdown Backbreaker anti-air throw and the dreaded Gigas Breaker and Megaton Press Super Arts/Ultra Combos. Hugo can use Ultra Throw which wallbounces opponents and setting them up for either a Shootdown Backbreaker or a Megaton Press. Abigail is more of a striker, but the way he can destroy opponents' health bars with his attacks, he's still a death radius. Abigail's Nitro Charge will force you to guess whether a.) Punch you b.)Dive into you c.) throw you D) Parry/Repel you with his V-skill I. A wrong guess will send you into a world of hurt. Abigail's V-Triggers are also to be feared. Max Power increases his Heavy Punch's power and damage. Hybrid Charge gives him a Juggernaut-style Headbutt.

At the level that you first face him, two to three hits with his giant hammer are enough to kill you, and one of his smash attacks is a powerful whirlwind sweep which clears a sizable radius around him, making staying out of range and using hit-and-run tactics as he's recovering from a smash key to surviving the battle.

Some even have damage auras, where if you are standing next to them, you'll get hurt, badly, even if you haven't drawn their attention yet. A melee character trying to take on such an enemy is going to be in a world of hurt without some serious support, and that's not even factoring in resistances on the part of the enemy... Such damage auras are also available to the players, so they can invoke this trope on lesser foes. Still, the Archvillain versions are seriously amped up in the amount of damage they deal. Most notable is the Envoy of Shadows, an AV of the resident Demonic Invaders who has TWO damaging auras, fire and darkness.

"Instant Death" Radius / int_fab472d2	comment	Several examples in Dark Souls exist: The boss fight with Seath the Scaleless. His attacks consist of area denial by raising crystal columns in predetermined spots. While you can dodge it and get close to him, you better not take it for granted as Seath can make the entire surrounding area you fight in covered in crystals. And if the damage doesn't kill you, the Curse effect probably will. Interestingly, the miracle Wrath of (the) God(s) in both Dark Souls and Demon's Souls function the same: an exploding sphere of pain. Quelaag and Nito both have powerful area of effect attacks similar to the Wrath of the Gods. Avoiding Quelaag's can be tricky thanks to the lava she spits on the ground throughout the battle that you might dodge back into. Inverted with the Hydra, whose ranged attack is hard to dodge and basically impossible to block (being essentially nine separate, moderately powerful attacks converging in one spot from slightly different angles), but his bite attack is pathetic by comparison. Once you've gotten into melee range, pretty all you have to worry about is the sudden drop-off underwater and reaching the last remaining heads before it lifts them back up. The Four Kings also have this ability, incredibly frustrating because their equally devastating melee attacks do less damage if you're close to them and while you are trying to get away you might blunder into the arms of one of the others. The page image is of the Bed of Chaos, infamous for combining this trope along with others to make her boss battle not a challenge, but an ordeal. Firstly, her long arms can sweep most of the arena, giving few spaces to hide. Second, getting inside her Instant Death Radius prompts her to use slam attacks which turn most of that radius into a Bottomless Pit. Relatedly, if the arm sweeps don't kill you, they have a tendency to drag you into the pits. Thirdly, she's unlike other bosses in the game by being a Puzzle Boss, completely invulnerable to attack unless you destroy two chaos bugs creating the forcefield protecting her. Many players, even those knowing strategies to beat her, describe beating her as completely up to the Random Number God.

Hugo has a lot of throws in his arsenal including Avalanche Press, the distance closing Meat Squasher, the Shootdown Backbreaker anti-air throw and the dreaded Gigas Breaker and Megaton Press Super Arts/Ultra Combos. Hugo can use Ultra Throw which wallbounces opponents and setting them up for either a Shootdown Backbreaker or a Megaton Press. Abigail is more of a striker, but the way he can destroy opponents' health bars with his attacks, he's still a death radius. Abigail's Nitro Charge will force you to guess whether a.) Punch you b.)Dive into you c.) throw you D) Parry/Repel you with his V-skill I. A wrong guess will send you into a world of hurt. Abigail's V-Triggers are also to be feared. Max Power increases his Heavy Punch's power and damage. Hybrid Charge gives him a Juggernaut-style Headbutt.

"Instant Death" Radius / int_fb6d726d	comment	Most powerful melee characters in Infinity, with the added bonus that due to Hidden Deployment you can walk straight into a model's Instant Death Radius without ever knowing it was there. Commonly occurs with ninjas. Powerful ranged weapons such as the HMG or sniper rifle are even scarier, due to Infinity's rules system allowing troops to fire on enemies they see acting even in the opponent's turn; to prevent the first turn from being a death sentence as four sniper rifles punch holes in anything that moves, Infinity battlefields are supposed to have a massive amount of terrain.

"Instant Death" Radius / int_fd8ef85e	comment	Player example in Left 4 Dead, especially 2. In the first game, shoving was infinite at first, and anything that isn't a Tank or Witch will be knocked back and stunned for a good while, which lead to stunlocking Infected players in Versus mode. This was later fixed with "melee fatigue" for Versus, which carried over to all modes of the sequel. However, the latter has included melee weapons, which are a One-Hit Kill on anything smaller than a Charger, two-shot a healthy Charger, and clear out swarming hordes fast like nobody's business. And they don't have fatigue. Again, the only ones able to break the stalemate properly are a Tank, which is rare to spawn by the Director, and the Witch, which isn't playable.
