Wins by Doing Absolutely Nothing	comment	Ever heard of the phrase "the best defense is a good offense"? Well, in this case, the best defense is... nothing. Sometimes the best move you can possibly make when you're up against the opposition is to simply do nothing. They'll just defeat themselves anyway through either idiocy or bad luck. Sound absurd? It is. This is when a character doesn't just win through luck, but literally by not doing a single thing. No attacking, no defending, no moving, no dodging, no input of any kind whatsoever... and they still win. Not to be confused with Rewarding Inactivity (though it may overlap). Could lead to a Nice Job Breaking It, Rivals! situation. In video games, it may result in Achievement Mockery, and can be caused by Artificial Stupidity or an A.I. Breaker (or in certain cases, by A.I. Roulette). Compare Zero-Effort Boss, Victory by Endurance, Paranoia Gambit, No-Sell, You Were Trying Too Hard, Powers Do the Fighting, To Win Without Fighting, and Disqualification-Induced Victory. Sheathe Your Sword is a subtrope where one deliberately chooses to refuse to fight to gain victory. Contrast Simple Solution Won't Work in cases where it is pointed out that doing nothing won't solve the problem. The Trope Namer is a series of YouTube videos called "Luigi Wins By Doing Absolutely Nothing," originating from the Mario Party series. The player, as Luigi, stands around and does... well... absolutely nothing, and the computer opponents, who are often set to the easiest difficulty, proceed to defeat themselves. See also Badass Pacifist, who wins without doing anything violent.

Masquerading as a Federation soldier after MSG, Char uses his false identity to run away from his past and denies being Char long after all the other main characters have figured it out. It takes the assassination of AEUG leader Blex to get Char to step up, and even then he shirks his responsibilities in favor of pretending to be a simple pilot.

The survivor's win condition is to be alive at the end of the game. If the investigative roles can confirm you and/or if the rest of the players actually believe your claim (It's harder than it sounds.) then it's entirely possible to just sit back and receive a win despite not voting anyone up or lynching anyone.

Wins by Doing Absolutely Nothing / int_1d0d8bfb	comment	The Binding of Isaac: If you have the Gnawed Leaf (which makes you invincible after a few seconds of no action, which lasts until you move or shoot again) and any autonomous damage-dealing item, from orbitals to familiars and things like Daddy Long Legs, most rooms in the game can be cleared by basically just moving in and leaving your keyboard entirely alone for a few minutes. This extends to bosses as well — while you might need to leave the game running for longer, it's entirely possible to slay endgame bosses like Mega Satan, Hush, and Delirium without lifting a finger. When facing Baby Plum, if you do absolutely no damage to her for about half a minute she'll wave, fly away, and drop (as well as unlock, if it hasn't been already) the unique Plum Flute item that summons her to fight on your behalf. This only works in rooms where Baby Plum is the designated floor boss, however.

Wins by Doing Absolutely Nothing / int_20e8e9bd	comment	In Sonic 3 & Knuckles, getting all the Super Emeralds while playing as Tails turns almost every boss fight into this because Hyper Tails has four Flickies that will automatically attack any enemies on screen. So you can just sit there and let them peck Robotnik to death every time (and yes, this also includes the Giant Eggman Robo). The only bosses this doesn't work on are the Bowling Spin, the Egg Inferno, and the Death Ball, all of which can only die via their own attacks, the Guardian which must be pushed into the nearby quicksand to kill, and the Egg Golem which requires some effort in knocking the outer shell off since the birds won't do this themselves.

Wins by Doing Absolutely Nothing / int_22039762	comment	Arknights: Shining is a Martial Pacifist medic who focuses entirely on healing the sick and wounded. However, she is also an incredibly dangerous swordswoman with immensely powerful Arts abilities, which she rarely ever uses. That being said, the sheer power and presence she exudes is enough to intimidate many opponents into backing down or fleeing, even if they have no idea who she is. During the Maria Nearl storyline, the assassin Platinum is outright told to abandon her mission by her superiors when Shining shows up, and to try to simply ''stay alive''. During the Near Light story, she foils multiple assassination attempts just by being present in the area, which causes the assassins to abandon their missions lest they provoke her. Gameplay-wise, the Survivalist condition for the game's Roguelike mode forces both player and enemy to constantly lose HP on the map. While the player has Medics to heal and counter this condition, enemies don't. So on certain maps, the player can just wait for all enemies to run around unimpeded and die before they even enter the player box, earning victory without lifting a finger.

If you position yourself right, usually by being close enough to aggro an enemy but on a lower platform so they leap right over you, you can provoke the enemy to perform a leaping attack that sends them plunging into a pit or poisonous swamp. You can even use this to kill the False Jester since unlike most boss arenas, you can run out of it and lead him after you to an area with a bottomless pit.

Eventually, the level will end automatically and open a unique story route where Wario gets kicked out of his castle and has to break back in. Exactly how long the player has to wait depends on whether or not this is their first time playing the level on that file; a new game requires the player to wait 30 seconds while replaying the level significantly shortens it to just a few seconds.

However, Homer has zero stamina in the ring — he gets winded after throwing one punch. Moe decides that Homer's strategy should be to let his opponent tire himself out punching Homer, then when he's exhausted Homer just kind of shoves his opponent down, "knocking" him out. Which is almost nothing. All this falls apart when he goes up against Drederick Tatum, an Expy of Mike Tyson who punches hard enough to affect him anyway and won't get tired any time soon, and comes close to killing Homer in the ring due to Moe being reluctant to forfeit the match.

In the end, Mayor Bourgeois kicks out Nick Fury when he offers assistancenote the author made the note that Mayor Bourgeois, in a a rare moment of Genre Savvy, took one look at Fury and knew that if he became an Akumatized villain it was going to be apocalyptic, so he absolutely refused to chance it and Fury refuses to help because Hawk Moth's power is too much of a security risk (and danger if he possesses someone like, say, the Hulk). He manages to prove Fury's fears right at the climax by Evilizing Tony Stark into "Peacemonger", the most dangerous Akuma the Miraculous heroes had to fight so far even with Black Widow and Hawkeye as support, and with that Tony (the biggest nay-sayer regarding Fury's decision, and the anger of being a nay-sayer is what allowed Hawk Moth to Akumatize him) ends up agreeing. So in the end, Hawk Moth did not end up doing much to keep Earth's Mightiest Heroes away from him.

Wins by Doing Absolutely Nothing / int_2b70efd4	comment	Played with in the Old World of Darkness Week of Nightmares crossover supplement: Kuei-jin Tieh Ju, going to battle with awakened vampire Antediluvian Zapathasura, declares that "as always, we will defeat them through inaction". The main battle is carried out by three Bodhisattvas, while she and her cadre are mostly just supporting a sun-blocking taifun spell. When an anti-magical nuke is dropped, killing the Bodhisattvas, she lures the weakened but still standing Zapathasura into the open basically by standing there. When he is finally in the vicinity, she politely greets him and dives into the ground, releasing the spell — so that an orbital mirror can finally fry the monstrosity to his Final Death with reflected sunlight. So, it's not completely win by doing nothing — it's win by stopping doing anything at the right moment. Vampires have been able to win against various non-Kindred threats by simply waiting for them to die. Werewolves might be physically superior, Mages may be full-blown Reality Warpers, and humans may have the strength of numbers, but with few exceptions, they don't possess a vampire's kind of immortality, meaning it's viable for a vampire to just go into hiding and let old age, or their target's own enemies, take care of them.

In "PTA", all they had to do was be present and annoying enough while physically doing nothing to the point McVicker loses it and gets into a fight with one of the parents while getting Buzzcut in legal trouble simply by casually mentioning how he was abusive to them. They also do the same with Mr. Manners/Candy by just standing there while the salesman physically threatens them. Then they get to happily sit back and watch while Van Driessen or Buzzcut makes the save for them and starts fighting or pummeling the motivational speaker. In the Christmas Episode, they just walk off while refusing Charlie's suggestion for Butt-Head to kill himself and afterwards, Charlie slips and falls into the river while trying to protest Butt-Head's decision.

Pokecapn and his friends, playing the game for the first time, get the highest possible score on this side quest just by talking to the guard over and over and barely paying attention to what he says.

Just stand outside and wait for one hour to pass in real time, and the wall of thorny roses blocking the player's path will crumble, letting them leave.

Wins by Doing Absolutely Nothing / int_332cb317	comment	Sonic the Hedgehog (2006): In some sections of Shadow's story, he has to fly a hang glider while being attacked. The Mercy Invincibility is so generous and the sections short enough that it's entirely possible to get through without touching the controller, as shown here. Of the three stages the glider appears in, Crisis City is the only one that can't be beaten by doing nothing. There's a Moon Logic Puzzle mission that requires Sonic to determine who the Captain of the Soleanna guard is. This puzzle is most easily solved by just talking to the questgiver over and over again without speaking to any other guards, since he is the Captain. The final boss of Sonic's story can be defeated by using a glitch to jump high enough in the air, which somehow causes the Egg Wyvern to kill itself.

Wins by Doing Absolutely Nothing / int_3e4a348a	comment	In Town of Salem, there are several conditions in which this can happen: During All Any, it is possible for town to win on Day 2 because the game either picked all town members or the only neutral roles were non-killing (ie, Survivor, Guardian Angel, Executioner, Jester). Much like the SC 2 Mafia mod that spawned it, it's possible to do this as a Survivor. The survivor's win condition is to be alive at the end of the game. If the investigative roles can confirm you and/or if the rest of the players actually believe your claim (It's harder than it sounds.) then it's entirely possible to just sit back and receive a win despite not voting anyone up or lynching anyone. This also sometimes happens with the Jester role. The Jester's win condition is to be lynched — so they try to look suspicious to get voted up. Sure enough, some jesters will actually be completely silent (Especially if they get voted onto the stand) so they look like an evil player who Rage Quit. A few lucky Jesters won't even have use a deliberate strategy to win, since the mafia can frame others and some towns are so trigger-happy you don't even have to do anything to be considered suspicious. Very very rarely, an executioner can win this way. The Executioner's goal is to get a certain player lynched. This player is random, though it's always a townie. So if that player gets framed by other evil players, draws suspicion of their own accord, or is just unlucky in a particularly lynch-happy town, the Executioner will get their win without having to actually convince the town of anything. While uncommon (Depending on the faction they chose), an Amnesiac can be confirmed via Investigator, Consigliere, or Potion Master... then simply pick the role of the winning faction, resulting in them winning without performing their role's functions. And all this isn't even counting the evil roles all killing each other off before the town even has a chance to start lynching...

Near the end of the game, the group's car lands on a chance space. The resulting Chance Time ends with Mario, Peach, and Yoshi being forced to give Luigi all of their coins and winning him the star as a result, meaning Luigi wins by doing absolutely nothing. Played with in War of the Fat Italians 2021 where Mario and Luigi are challenged to pro gamer Belle Fontaine in a game of their choosing. Mario loses in seconds against her in Minecraft but Luigi challenges her to Rock Simulator, a game where the goal is to do nothing.

Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War does this the first time you deal with the Scinfaxi and its burst missiles: it's firing them from outside the area of operations, so the only thing you can do is fly up high enough to get out of their explosive radius and wait for enough of them to hit to sink an allied fleet before the mission ends. In Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, the first two of three battles against Mihaly are Unwinnable by Design - even if you do hit him, none of them do anything - so all you need to do to finish the respective missions is stay out of Mihaly's line of fire until all the scripted radio chatter has played out and he retreats on his own.

The Raalgons then target his ship, but it turns out the present was a bomb and they end up destroying themselves instead.

Wins by Doing Absolutely Nothing / int_5908ee91	comment	In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, this is effectively the Thalmor's long-term strategy: use Ulfric Stormcloak as an Unwitting Pawn to start a bloody civil war and drain the Empire's resources so when the second war eventually kicks off, their exhausted human enemies and "allies" will fall easily. The Dragonborn can intervene on either side and bring the civil war to a decisive conclusion, thwarting the Thalmor's plan: if the Imperials put down the rebellion, they consolidate their hold on Skyrim and High Rock and can rebuild for the war they know is coming; if the Stormcloak rebels win the war, it results in a Thalmor-hostile independent Skyrim and an empire that, while battered, can finally stop wasting time with Skyrim and ready for the coming war; and in either case, the winning side will have the aid of a One-Man Army Physical God.

The prices may or may not be right for the two prizes, and the contestant may choose to either have them switched or do nothing. Since it's a 50/50 chance either way, doing nothing will win the prize as often as switching. If the first two contestants go over $1 in the Showcase Showdown, the third player automatically advances to the Showcase by default. However, they still get to spin the wheel once to try and earn a bonus spin. On one 2000 episode, a contestant was about to play the tricky pricing game Ten Chances. Normally, the board has cards with the names of its three prizes on them, taken off to reveal a second card with the numbers that the player had to use to form the price, and then one more with the answer. However, the stagehands forgot to insert the aforementioned number cards, meaning that when Bob took the name card off, the answer came up instead! On all three prizes, meaning that the contestant won by default. The aforementioned contestant then proceeded to win the Showcase Showdown by default because the other players went over. He won a shredder, oven, a car, and advanced to the Showcase, by doing almost nothing (except winning a One Bid, of course). In general, if there's ever a breakdown in the physical prop(s) in the pricing games, they'll award the prize (or top prize) to the player.

Wins by Doing Absolutely Nothing / int_5afbc0cb	comment	Three bosses in Undertale will do this to you, stalling their attacks so that you can't do anything. The first (and while "boss" may be a bit strong) is the Training Dummy Toriel pits you against. You can either fight it and be scolded or talk to it and be praised to "win" the fight. However, if you do nothing and just keep checking it instead, the dummy soon gets bored and leaves while Toriel stands agape at what just happened. The second is the Mad Dummy, who, after chasing off their allies and wasting their only projectile attack, decides to just keep their attack window open forever so you can't act since neither of you can damage each other. He runs away after getting hit by Napstablook's tears, which apparently can damage them like acid rain. The third is the final boss of the No Mercy route, Sans the Skeleton. He knows that by now you can kill him in one hit as soon as he messes up a dodge, so after throwing everything he has at you, he decides to pull the same stalling tactic in hopes that you'll Rage Quit out of boredom. Unlike with the Mad Dummy, no one will bail you out of this one, so you have to wait until Sans falls asleep from exhaustion and then slowly nudge the attack window over to the bottom-left so you can reach the Fight button.

If this happens, simply coming close enough for the enemy ships to spawn results in an instant victory as they are fried by the heat. Some enemies spawn inside hazardous areas, like minefields or radiation zones. These tend to die, too, but more slowly. Similar things tend to happen in almost every game if random spawns can happen inside hazardous areas and enemies are not immune to environmental effects. Very few A.I.s survive that — one of the reasons why they are usually granted immunity to the environment.

There are two ways to lose in AW: being routed, or having your HQ captured. The thing is, the AI in this chapter focuses on building up a force planning to rout you — and you can't be routed if you don't have soldiers in the first place, and the AI is dumb enough to put one of her own vehicles onto your HQ without moving it, preventing her from capturing it. So you can go the whole battle without building a single unit and win. That said, you're in for a nasty surprise if you try this on the Reboot Camp rerelease: that game, owing to improved AI, will gleefully roll an infantry-loaded APC right to your front door and win via capture on turn 10.

You can just set your ship to full speed, head away from the battle, increase time compression, and sit back until you are given permission to return to base. Good example of this is the mission Doomsday in the first game, where you're supposed to defend a destroyer against waves of enemies until the personnel on board have evacuated. This objective is optional, as the mission will be considered completed once the destroyer inevitably goes down. You will get a medal if you manage to hold the line until all the escape pods have launched and departed, though.

Wins by Doing Absolutely Nothing / int_7f9dbbcf	comment	Far Cry 5 has a similar hidden ending where refusing to cuff Joseph Seed for a full five minutes makes the Sheriff agree that trying to arrest Seed would be a very bad idea, and Seed lets the group leave without a fight. note This is due to his prophesy, which various sources confirm is accurate if started, requiring him to be "unfairly" taken away. If the deputy never cuffs him he's not in the position he needs for his prophecy to start. He can't use force to try or make them otherwise he breaks it himself. Practically speaking the group sent there didn't have enough manpower to fight either so it was a terrible idea both ways.

The gargoyles have to fight hard to defeat them, but in the background, Vinny (a former Living Prop) is trying to shoot Goliath with a BFG. The entire episode has Vinny's efforts thwarted by the collateral damage caused by the gargoyles fighting Hakon and Wolf, none of whom are even aware that he's there.

Wins by Doing Absolutely Nothing / int_8a339030	comment	Indiana Jones has this happen repeatedly. Raiders of the Lost Ark: Indiana Jones has nothing to do with the defeat of the Nazis at the end of the movie. He and Marion just shut their eyes and the Nazis are destroyed by the sight of the power of God when they open the Ark. It is one of the most literal examples of Deus ex Machina since the middle ages. Some argue the only difference would be Marion being killed and that, alone, justifies Indy's involvement. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The grail can't actually leave the temple it's stored in, so the moment they try to leave with their prize, an earthquake kills the Nazis and drops the grail into a gorge. The main differences between Indy acting and not acting is that he gets to save and reconcile with his father. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull: The Soviets bringing the skull back to where it was gets them sucked into a portal to wherever it came from, and their leader gets a terminal case of My Skull Runneth Over. Indy's actions mainly serve to allow him to reconcile with/rescue Marion and meet his son. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny: The dial could only find time rifts to a specific point in space-time, rather than the time of the holder's choice, meaning that the Nazi's plan to travel back to 1939 Germany and change the course of WWII was never possible. Indy's actions mainly serve to get his goddaughter out of the mess she'd gotten herself into, and again reconcile with Marion.

Wins by Doing Absolutely Nothing / int_8ac4e993	comment	This trope is a running theme in the story of Gundam character Char Aznable: In the original Mobile Suit Gundam, Char's mission is to wipe out the Zabi family, who he personally blames for the murder of his father (whether they actually did it — and for that matter whether his father was murdered at all — is left ambiguous). Of the Zabi family's five adult members, he only has to personally kill one, the others all falling through the efforts of The Hero Amuro (Garma's attack carrier is shot down after Char tricks him into exposing himself to the enemy, Dozle's mobile armor is destroyed in battle with Amuro) or due to Enemy Civil War struggling within their own ranks (Degwin is killed by a massive laser cannon fired on Gihren's order before he can negotiate a surrender to the Federation, over which Gihren is then murdered by Kycilia). Really, Char didn't even have to kill Kycilia, she was heading out for a Last Villain Stand and probably would have gotten shot down no matter what happened. Char just wanted the pleasure of killing the last adult Zabi himself. In Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, Char's rise to power in the heroic AEUG not only happens without him doing anything, it happens in spite of his active resistance. Masquerading as a Federation soldier after MSG, Char uses his false identity to run away from his past and denies being Char long after all the other main characters have figured it out. It takes the assassination of AEUG leader Blex to get Char to step up, and even then he shirks his responsibilities in favor of pretending to be a simple pilot. Finally there's Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack, in which Char emerges as the victor of the Neo-Zeon civil war and new Big Bad, not through any grand scheming on his part but simply by having sat out the entirety of Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ and letting his Zeonic rivals for power, Haman Kahn and Glemy Toto, eliminate each other.

Wins by Doing Absolutely Nothing / int_8d4db1f8	comment	Cheating Death: Those That Lived: Pliny sleeps through training and most of the Games, and her one kill is a Mercy Kill. When the trumpets sound for her victory, she's utterly shocked and confused. The Capitol audiences loathe her, but there's nothing they can do about it. Paige does kill one other tribute in a panicky fight, but spends the last few days of the game sealed off in a cave while Mutts kills the other remaining tributes. Downplayed with Chassis. He does knife a Career tribute during a fight at the Cornucopia, but he wins by making a Dismissive Kick that accidentally destroys a support beam (the arena is a giant mine) and causes a cave-in that kills everyone but him because he has a metal bucket as a helmet to protect him and create an air bubble to avoid suffocation. Similarly downplayed with Platinum. She unintentionally stabs the boy from District Eleven during the Bloodbath, but her survival is attributed to her being stuck in a pit formed by a falling crystal in the cavern arena, and having got sufficient food and water from the Cornucopia and a fallen tribute whose corpse fell into her pit to outlast everyone else. Bentley Corduroy spends the 55th Hunger Games running from the Career Alliance and playing rap music. He technically gets three kills when his music starts a lethal avalanche in the finale, but it's a freak accident. Arendellian Spinner III spends the 57th Hunger Games hiding, not sure what's going on. Her one kill is either self-defense or an accident, and after that, all she does is avoid freezing to death longer than anyone else. Spud Munroe wins the 66th Hunger Games: simply by avoiding other tributes, save for one who falls through a frozen lake while chasing him. It comes down to Spud and an insane cannibal who defeats Spud in every single possible simulation, so the gamemakers kill the cannibal in an avalanche and reluctantly crown Spud by default. He does throw the boy from Seven over a cliff early on, but this is a complete accident that occurs when he trips as the boy attacks him and accidentally grabs at his jacket, pulling him to the edge of the cliff. Skinner Alceto gets an unusually action-packed version of this in the 69th Hunger Games. He does do a lot of fighting and killing, it's just that absolutely none of it is directed at the other tributes, but he still outlives all of them. He kills thousands of Mutts in the arena, but his only two human kills are a Mercy Kill and a possible accident (a Career steps between him and a Mutt mid-battle). In the climax, he focuses on trying to kill the biggest and toughest Mutt in history while ignoring his last remaining opponent (who is accidentally killed by the Mutt). Cupid, the victor of the Capitol Games, doesn't kill or injure a single other tribute. He wins by dodging when his last opponent lunges at him, and the guy ends up Impaled with Extreme Prejudice, completely by accident.

For the Red Team hosts, they get punched in the head; first Simmons (repeatedly), then Donut, then Sarge. When O'Malley finally infects Grif, he is the only Red to not get beat up by Tex when he notes that he suddenly has an urge to conquer the universe, but that it's out of character for him because that would take actual work. His response is to not do anything at all... whereupon he promptly falls asleep standing up.

In fact, it is the easiest way to win. Since every enemy car targets the human car over and above all else they'll swarm you like an angry nest of wasps — if you sit still and do nothing, they'll crash into each other and run into each other while trying to damage you, which ends up doing far more damage to them in the process. Also, owing to some dodgy collision-based point calculation, often you will get points for hitting them when they ram into you, which adds up to insane points while barely taking any damage. And that's not even counting the "Idiot Wave", where you manage to get on top of a fleet of vehicles:

Wins by Doing Absolutely Nothing / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls: In series' lore, Sheogorath, the Daedric Prince of Madness, made a wager with Vaermina, the Daedric Prince of Nightmares, in which they would both torment an artist who served Vaermina to see who could most influence him. While the artist was accustomed to Vaermina's nightmares and used them for inspiration, she pulled away what protections she was giving him and inflicted horrific night terrors on him. This resulted in him being inspired to create terrifying and grotesque art, which drew fame and acclaim due to its pure nightmarishness. When Sheogorath's turn came to torment the artist, he did nothing at all. Confused and feeling betrayed by Vaermina for the sudden lack of nightmarish inspiration, the artist was driven to rage and began to lose his mind. He started turning that anger into insults to kings and blasphemies against the gods in an attempt to get some response out of Vaermina. Eventually, his insanity grew to full-on madness, and his blasphemies and insults became too much to be ignored, and he was put to death, with his soul traveling to Sheogorath's realm, the Shivering Isles, proving who had won without a doubt. It all happened without Sheogorath doing a thing. Another of the myths surrounding Sheogorath has a wizard come to Sheogorath asking for power. Sheogorath says he can have it, if Sheogorath fails to drive the wizard insane within three days. The fear drives said wizard completely bonkers even though Sheogorath hadn't actually bothered doing anything. In ''The Argonian Account'', Decumus Scotti is hired to overhaul the infrastructure of a trade network in Black Marsh, but his survey of the area shows him that Black Marsh is unsuited to roads, bridges, wagons or anything his Imperial backers expect him to invest in. So he quietly embezzles the stakeholder's investment for himself and leaves the network to collapse, leading to the Argonians returning to their traditional methods of transporting goods which are more efficient and suited to Black Marsh. This also solves the crime rates, as bandits stop robbing caravans as soon as there are no caravans passing through for them to rob; and the region's rampant poverty (and the fact that of all of the Imperial-enstated governers are kleptocrats working their serfs half to death and trading in slaves) are solved when the lack of Imperial support makes the corrupt governers go bankrupt and all of their workers return home to work on family farms which become self-sufficient with the sudden influx of manpower. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion: The quest to kill three Mythic Dawn spies could actually result this for at least one of the spies' deaths, because the spies need to reveal themselves to attack, but do so at such a distance and within range of the town guards, that the guards kill the spy without the player even seeing the spy. In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, this is effectively the Thalmor's long-term strategy: use Ulfric Stormcloak as an Unwitting Pawn to start a bloody civil war and drain the Empire's resources so when the second war eventually kicks off, their exhausted human enemies and "allies" will fall easily. The Dragonborn can intervene on either side and bring the civil war to a decisive conclusion, thwarting the Thalmor's plan: if the Imperials put down the rebellion, they consolidate their hold on Skyrim and High Rock and can rebuild for the war they know is coming; if the Stormcloak rebels win the war, it results in a Thalmor-hostile independent Skyrim and an empire that, while battered, can finally stop wasting time with Skyrim and ready for the coming war; and in either case, the winning side will have the aid of a One-Man Army Physical God.

However, even from the 2015 competition and later, where the bots have to prove they can at least move before a match begins specifically to avoid this trope, this can still occur: Sharkoprion won its first fight, a 3-way battle between Deviled Egg and Kraken, in this way. Deviled Egg ran into Sharkoprion's saw, causing it to flip over and be unable to move. Then, Kraken attacked Sharkoprion and stopped working in the process. As Sharkoprion was still operational, it was given the win by default. In Ultimo Destructo vs. Valkyrie, the weight of Valkyrie's spinning disk caused it to tip over, lifting Valkyrie's wheels off the floor. From there on out, Valkyrie was unable to do anything.note Had Valkyrie's disk spun as it was intended as it did in its other matches, gyroscopic forces would've kept it upright.

Less commonly, it is possible for an enemy PokÃ©mon to lose if they repeatedly use Jump Kick or Hi Jump Kick (both of which deal damage to the user if they miss) and there's a high enough disparity between their accuracy and your PokÃ©mon's evasion that they are unable to reliably land a hit. In PokÃ©mon Scarlet and Violet, one of the new Pokemon, Tandemaus has a special move called Population Bomb that launches a weak physical strike potentially up to 10 times in a row. With good RNG or by having the Pokemon hold Loaded Dice (which cause multi-strike moves to always hit at least 4 times), it can become a very annoying move to tangle with... Unless the opposing Pokemon is wearing a Rocky Helmet, which inflicts Collision Damage when a move makes physical contact.

Master Duel: A player was attempting to perform a first-round win by playing numerous cards that forced his opponent to draw cards, planning to run his opponent out of cards before the game even began. What he did not realize was that his opponent had all of the Exodia cards in his deck. The only things the opponent had to do were discard a couple cards as a result of the player's actions until all five cards were in his hand, and the game was over before the opponent even took his own turn. (The video is in Spanish, but the eventual winner's reactions say it all.)

Wins by Doing Absolutely Nothing / int_a289a6cd	comment	Sunset Overdrive: Certain missions' enemies can be defeated without the player having to attack at all: Due to all enemy factions warring with each other, "Fizzco: The Dirty Secret"'s second recycling truck's defenders can be defeated by a large enough pack of OD, then the Player can access the truck without needing to kill anything themselves. Most missions that involve fighting in concert with some other group usually also have the other group actually invincible, unless a Health Meter for them is shown, such as the Fargarthians' "The King's Feast", which is just following the Fargarthians around, hitting dialogue trigger points and enemy spawn triggers, but the Fargarthians don't need any help attacking its enemies. They're invincible and some enemies don't even attack them unless the Player engages, but the Fargarthians do attack no matter what. However, the player does have to kill one enemy in at the "Goblins and Brigands" section of the mission. The enemies constantly respawn otherwise. In "A Hero's Duty", the Oxfords' defense can be handled by the Oxfords themselves, so long as the enemy stays within a certain distance, otherwise the Oxfords cannot deal killshots, other than 3 of the Rifle Bots and all of the Bomb Bots and Tank Bot are set to need player-dealt damage to damage and defeat. The first stage of the "Use Boo-Boo to kill Fizzco bots." section of "The Most Epic Quest For EXP" starts with Boo-Boo, who will attack anything within range, standing beside the player, and the enemy are Blade Bots, melee sword robots, who end up walking right into Boo-Boo's attack range when trying to kill the player. The next section has ranged bots, however, so the Player has to signal Boo-Boo on where to go. The endgame mission's first combat section, "Help the survivors defeat the Fizzco forces" just needs the player to kill one Fizzco bot before the survivors can handle the rest of the skirmishes themselves, until the third skirmish, which has endlessly respawning Fizzco Rifle Bots, that need about 6 or more to be taken down by the player until the Tank Bots arrive, which themselves need 1 to be player-killed before the survivors can damage the rest. Raising the Unity Flags for its post-endgame quests have Fizzco Bots try to interfere and pause the 30-second timer, needing the player to unpause it, but sometimes the bots never stop the 30-second countdown, so the player doesn't even have to fight, they can just run away after starting the countdown and never defend the flag-raising.

Wins by Doing Absolutely Nothing / int_a2c7e6ce	comment	This would sometimes happen on Robot Wars, especially in the early series: one robot would break down right at the start of the fight, and the other would go through without having to lift a flipper. In Series 3, Beast of Bodmin won its entire heat by doing almost nothing: it was losing its first battle until one of its opponent's tracks came off and it stopped moving, it won its second battle when its opponent drove up Beast of Bodmin's wedge and turned itself over, and in the heat final it was again losing until it pushed its opponent into the House Robots, who did all the damage for it (although feeding your opponent to the House Robots has always been considered a perfectly valid strategy). Series 2 Reserve Rumble winner Jim Struts was a practically-unarmed walkerbot that was so painfully slow it couldn't really do anything anyway (but being a walker, was so big that the other competitors didn't know what to do with it). It just slowly plodded across the floor while every other competitor either broke down or was trashed by the House Robots around it, and took the win by default. In Series 10, Track-tion (a repurposed bomb-disposal robot built and driven by a group of 12- and 13-year-olds) was faced with the terrifying prospect of having to fight Apex with its 39kg spinning bar. The Vulture team loaned them an armoured front plow, but everyone was expecting Track-tion to end up scattered all over the arena floor. Instead what happened after "Activate" was called went like this: Track-tion moved forward a little bit, Apex spun up their weapon, Apex delivered a glancing blow to the plow which bounced off, the recoil caused Apex's bar to come unpinned and start hitting the back of the robot, Apex exploded. Track-tion won. In the opening round, they were taken out in a single exchange, not even landing a glancing blow on their opponent, leading to a 'Robot Redemption' battle against Apex, detailed above. This allowed them into the heat semi-finals where they were drawn against the robot that beat them in the first round, again losing in a single exchange, which placed them into the 3rd/4th place fight. The losers of the other semi-final were so badly beaten up during their match that they were unable to get their robot working in time for the fight, causing them to withdraw, giving Track-tion 3rd place a spot at the 10 Robot Rumble during the Grand Final without them having actually done a thing in the entire heat.

During a previous debate, Vinick had declared that nuclear power was completely safe. This would be bad enough for him, but to make things even worse, the Santos team digs through some old documents and finds out that Vinick lobbied to open that specific plant in the first place. They briefly consider hitting Vinick hard with this in the press, but reason that such a manoeuver would earn them heat for playing politics with a tragedy. Instead... they do nothing. No interviews, no campaigning, no anything. The Santos team just waits for the press to discover the damning evidence themselves. It works: Vinick is drawn into a major scandal without any effort on Santos's part required. His home state of California, once seen as solidly red, suddenly looks like a toss-up, and his approval ratings sag in several other key states as well. Vinick wins California anyway, but this debacle still narrowly costs him the election.

As your first Quick action, do anything that inflicts the target with Sap. Do not use your second Quick action. Wait a very very very long time as Sap drains their HP, 2 points a tick, unable to respond because you are still in the middle of Quick. You can perform a similar tactic with a party of bards, but only on bosses, by inflicting Sap and then having your whole party hide. Normally having all four party members hide equates to fleeing from battle, but since you can't flee from bosses it'll result in all four of your party members off-screen while the boss throws futile attacks at nothing as its health steadily decreases. Imagine the boss screaming for them to come back as it slowly dies, while the four of them are hiding behind a rock playing poker. This is how you beat Gogo, who mimics whatever you do with the power souped-up. You could brute-force it if you're particularly over-leveled, but by setting the controller down for two minutes (even though you only have seven minutes' worth of air), he will acknowledge your mastery of mimicry (since you mimicked his inaction) and eject himself. Also, the Berserker class attacks without the player's input, as will any character with the class' "Berserk" ability equipped. Rig all four characters with this and the game plays itself. Don't expect this one to work against bosses. In Final Fantasy VI, any fight with solo Umaro or Gau (or both) becomes this, since they attack on their own and you can't control them (though Gau requires a single command from you at the start of battle). For especially difficult fights, you may want to go get a book.

Wins by Doing Absolutely Nothing / int_b30ae4db	comment	Game of Thrones: Balon Greyjoy technically wins the War of the Five Kings. Of course, he has nothing to show for it, having sat on his throne and done absolutely nothing while the other four kings — Joffrey, Renly, Stannis, and Robb — killed each other off and his children Theon and Yara acted as House Greyjoy's agents in the war. Of course, that inaction comes back to bite him when his brother Euron returns and throws him off a bridge to his death: because his do-nothing leadership has made him so unpopular among the ironborn, Euron is able to freely confess to the crime and use it to garner support from the people for his claim at the kingsmoot, where any other fratricide in Westeros would have been harshly condemned. Echoing Balon's do-nothing victory by default in the final season is Cersei Lannister, who becomes the seeming Final Boss of the series by default simply by sitting out the battle against the Night King. Of course, with the victory of the Stark/Targaryen alliance against the dead, her 'victory' is fleeting but for a moment she's the last Big Bad standing. The ultimate champion of this is Bran, whose contribution to the defeat of the Night King consists of revealing some important secrets at the right times and then sitting in one place and acting as bait. He is then made King of Westeros in the finale despite (and at least in part because of) having played no role whatsoever in the civil war.

In Sonic 3 & Knuckles, getting all the Super Emeralds while playing as Tails turns almost every boss fight into this because Hyper Tails has four Flickies that will automatically attack any enemies on screen. So you can just sit there and let them peck Robotnik to death every time (and yes, this also includes the Giant Eggman Robo). The only bosses this doesn't work on are the Bowling Spin, the Egg Inferno, and the Death Ball, all of which can only die via their own attacks, the Guardian which must be pushed into the nearby quicksand to kill, and the Egg Golem which requires some effort in knocking the outer shell off since the birds won't do this themselves. In Sonic Adventure, if you wait enough time in Sky Chase 2, the Egg Carrier will kill itself, as shown here. Sonic the Hedgehog (2006): In some sections of Shadow's story, he has to fly a hang glider while being attacked. The Mercy Invincibility is so generous and the sections short enough that it's entirely possible to get through without touching the controller, as shown here. Of the three stages the glider appears in, Crisis City is the only one that can't be beaten by doing nothing. There's a Moon Logic Puzzle mission that requires Sonic to determine who the Captain of the Soleanna guard is. This puzzle is most easily solved by just talking to the questgiver over and over again without speaking to any other guards, since he is the Captain. The final boss of Sonic's story can be defeated by using a glitch to jump high enough in the air, which somehow causes the Egg Wyvern to kill itself.

However, on Team 7, Sasuke is the only one who actually realizes this. The Smart Guy Sakura just takes the test straight, while Naruto panics and doesn't do anything at all, which exploits a loophole in the rules entirely without meaning to.

That's when Ocelot and hordes of soldiers, many of whom have motorcycles of their own, enter the battle and it goes from "kicking back and watching Eva do the work" to "frantically gunning down dozens of enemies so Eva can survive long enough to get the two of you out of there."

Wins by Doing Absolutely Nothing / int_bc399f00	comment	CMC+: In the April Fools build of the Super Smash Bros. Crusade mod, one Lethal Joke Character is Luigi (AFK), a reference to the Trope Namer and an overall representative of the trope: he's unable to do anything at all under the control of both the player and AI, thus remaining in place to take whatever attack the opponent throws at them... but if and when he remains idle on the ground, he'll steadily heal his percentage and build up enough energy to spontaneously explode, with the latter and his subsequent collateral collision blasts serving as his main offense. And that's also not mentioning the fact that he also rebounds against the blast-zones, meaning Luigi remains unkillable unless the opponent has a blast-zone defying One-Hit Kill Final Smash.

"Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy V": Mermaid Man hires the main cast to pose as superheroes against Face Heel Turned Barnacle Boy's villain group. However, the team's ineptness with their superpowers leads to three of them incapacitating each other, Sandy getting hit by a car when she is invisible, and Mermaid Man collapsing spontaneously, while the villains look on dumbfounded. In "The Bully", Flats, the titular antagonist, finally arrives at Spongebob's house to deliver the promised "butt-kicking" that Spongebob had been dreading for most of the episode. However, it turns out that Spongebob's, well, spongy physiology apparently allows him to absorb Flats' blows without even feeling them. Upon discovering this, Spongebob continues his day, all the while with Flats desperately trying in vain to pummel him, until Flats finally tires himself out and collapses, making Spongebob the de facto "winner" of the fight. Unfortunately, Mrs. Puff shows up at just that moment to only see Flats laying in a heap on the ground and Spongebob standing over him, and assumes Spongebob was the aggressor in the fight, and so, she angrily declares, "I'm going to kick your butt!" In "The Great Snail Race", SpongeBob, Squidward and Patrick enter a snail contest, with Patrick's contestant being a snail-sized rock he found on the ground.note "Thanks, I know. He's got nerves of steel!" While SpongeBob's snail Gary crashes and Squidward's snail forfeits the race to be by his side, Patrick's "snail" somehow got to the finish line. Subverted in "Tea at the Treedome", SpongeBob "defeats" the giant clam simply because Sandy was plenty capable of getting out of it herself. And immediately afterward, she has to save him. In "Ditchin'", SpongeBob and Patrick are challenged to a game of badminton by Sandy Cheeks and a friend of hers. Neither of them has any idea how to play, and they spend the whole match discussing the rules amongst themselves while Sandy's shots coincidentally ricochet off their rackets and back over the net. They win without realising that the match had even begun.

Both examples involve a handcuffed innocent (who cannot use any weapons) and two traitors who screw themselves over from carelessness while playing with their food. Hilarity Ensues. The first episode involves Lewis and Duncan forcing Bouphe to get caught by a barnacle. Sijn saves her and gets killed, but also causes Duncan to get killed in the process. While searching for her, Lewis stumbles into another barnacle. Bouphe's only meaningful contribution was being a Damsel in Distress, and she still wins. The second example involves the titular "toy bus" that causes a One-Hit Kill on contact. After the detective (Harry) goes on a murder spree with the bus, Duncan kills him, revives his traitor buddy Pedguin, and the only innocent left with Zylus, who is handcuffed. Duncan decides to finish the job with the bus. However, Zylus escapes into a ladder hatch to hide, and while pursuing him, Duncan gets careless and dies when a door he's opening pushes the bus into him. Then Bouphe, from beyond the grave, nudges the bus right into Pedguin by accident, killing him. Zylus is the only one left standing.

You can do nothing and just wait out the sentence though, and Lucca will bust in to knock out the guards and save you. Since they marched you past all the obstacles of the Prison Towers, all you need to do now is run out the door and battle the Dragon Tank to escape, but of course doing this means you miss out on a lot of good items, including a number of Mid Potions and a Silver Sword. After multiple New Game Plus runs, it's possible to beat large parts of the game by equipping every character with an auto-berserk item, which takes care of most battles until the late game (although there is a major stopping block in the form of Jugglers, an enemy in the Fiendlord's Keep that reacts to physical damage by becoming nearly impervious to it and reducing its magic defense (and vice-versa).

As your first Quick action, do anything that inflicts the target with Sap. Do not use your second Quick action. Wait a very very very long time as Sap drains their HP, 2 points a tick, unable to respond because you are still in the middle of Quick. You can perform a similar tactic with a party of bards, but only on bosses, by inflicting Sap and then having your whole party hide. Normally having all four party members hide equates to fleeing from battle, but since you can't flee from bosses it'll result in all four of your party members off-screen while the boss throws futile attacks at nothing as its health steadily decreases. Imagine the boss screaming for them to come back as it slowly dies, while the four of them are hiding behind a rock playing poker. This is how you beat Gogo, who mimics whatever you do with the power souped-up. You could brute-force it if you're particularly over-leveled, but by setting the controller down for two minutes (even though you only have seven minutes' worth of air), he will acknowledge your mastery of mimicry (since you mimicked his inaction) and eject himself. Also, the Berserker class attacks without the player's input, as will any character with the class' "Berserk" ability equipped. Rig all four characters with this and the game plays itself. Don't expect this one to work against bosses.

In Obelix and Co., Asterix does virtually nothing to stop the current Roman plan to destabilize the village, believing the situation will inevitably self-destruct. It does. The most active thing he does in regard to the plot is talk Getafix into providing magic potions to all the would-be menhir salesmen so they can make more menhirs, causing a glut in the already artificial menhir market and accelerating the ultimately inevitable self-destruction.

With good RNG or by having the Pokemon hold Loaded Dice (which cause multi-strike moves to always hit at least 4 times), it can become a very annoying move to tangle with... Unless the opposing Pokemon is wearing a Rocky Helmet, which inflicts Collision Damage when a move makes physical contact. Having an even somewhat bulky Pokemon in a Rocky Helmet tank the move can cause a hilariously catastrophic domino effect for the mice while the targeted Pokemon simply has to sit there taking hits and watch them self destruct.

Eventually, the level will end automatically and open a unique story route where Wario gets kicked out of his castle and has to break back in. Exactly how long the player has to wait depends on whether or not this is their first time playing the level on that file; a new game requires the player to wait 30 seconds while replaying the level significantly shortens it to just a few seconds. Some microgames in the WarioWare series can be won without any input from the player, while "Fragile!" from WarioWare: Twisted! and an unnamed microgamenote Later named "Tread Carefully" in Gold from WarioWare: Touched! require you not to do anything. In WarioWare Gold, both microgames are reworked to occasionally require active input to prevent cheesing high scores when played as standalone microgames, averting this trope.

All winners avert this trope, however, as building relationships with the jury is not the mark of a contestant who "didn't do anything!". In the case of Sandra and Natalie, it was also the jury punishing stupidity — Russell Hantz may have sat next to one person who the jury detested (Mick, Parvati) but he threw out several other members who had fewer relationships with the jury. In Edge of Extinction, Chris Underwood was accused of this, as he sat on the Edge of Extinction for twenty-eight out of thirty-nine days (meaning he was absent from roughly 72% of the game), forging relationships with the jurors. His only "moves" were winning the second Edge of Extinction challenge, and then challenging Rick Devens to the final four challenge and winning, which made many viewers view the other two runner-ups (Gavin and Julie) as cheated, as they were actually in-game and had no chance to forge as many relationships or organise a voting bloc.

It is explained that the Foundation would have won no matter what it did: a weak general wouldn't have been successful against it, a strong general under a weak emperor would have gone after the throne, while a strong general under a strong emperor would have been executed as a threat to his power â€” which was, in the end, exactly what happened.

John notices that one of the arms has a Chelsea tattoo, and another has one for Arsenal, so all he has to do is ask the creature "What d'you do on Saturdays, lads?" and stand back as it tears itself apart.

Gorr the God-Butcher is looking for gods to kill, but he's also wielding the Necrosword, which is slowly killing him. As far as Omnipotence City is concerned, the best course of action is to wait until Gorr dies on his own. Thor is vehemently opposed to the idea, because that would take years, maybe decades, and Gorr can still do plenty of damage during that time.

Ninety-nine percent of the time, doing nothing and letting the time run out is a Fail. There are, however, a couple of exceptions: At the end of the "Presumed Dead" path of Fleeing the Complex, the truck you've stolen for your getaway is dangling off the edge of a cliff, and as the complex's warden Dimitri monologues, you get your timer and choices of how to act. Unusually, and hinting at the actual solution, rather than get all your choices at once like normal, they appear one at a time over the course of Dimitri's speech. Wait out the timer, and Dimitri kicks the truck over the cliff, presumes Henry's death (hence the ending's name), and leaves. In the Thief/Dead route of Completing the Mission, Henry is charging through the Toppat Clan's launch site on a scooter when he sees two Toppats blocking the way. All the options for avoiding them end in Fails, and the solution is to wait out the timer and simply run them down.

Wins by Doing Absolutely Nothing / int_e5964cdb	comment	This cannot be done in chess, as the turn player is always forced to move — you can't "skip your turn". However, there are many situations when doing so would be advantageous, as any move you could make would end up weakening your position. One strategy involves deliberately attempting to maneuver your opponent into such a position. Such a position is known as Zugzwang (German for "compulsion to move"). Sometimes the board can be set up that both sides would be in Zugzwang if it were their turn. In this case whoever made the move that resulted in the position has the advantage. There's also stalemate — when a player has no legal moves but is not in check, the game is declared a draw. Arranging a position like this is often a good way of saving the game in a losing position.

Of the Zabi family's five adult members, he only has to personally kill one, the others all falling through the efforts of The Hero Amuro (Garma's attack carrier is shot down after Char tricks him into exposing himself to the enemy, Dozle's mobile armor is destroyed in battle with Amuro) or due to Enemy Civil War struggling within their own ranks (Degwin is killed by a massive laser cannon fired on Gihren's order before he can negotiate a surrender to the Federation, over which Gihren is then murdered by Kycilia). Really, Char didn't even have to kill Kycilia, she was heading out for a Last Villain Stand and probably would have gotten shot down no matter what happened. Char just wanted the pleasure of killing the last adult Zabi himself.
