That One Attack/Video Games/Turn-Based Strategy

Examples of in  games include:


 * Bleach: The 3rd Phantom: Sennen Hyourou. It deals a medium amount of damage, stops you from moving or attacking, AND lowers your accuracy and evasion. Did I mention it can hit the 4 squares around its target, too? That means MORE characters that get affected by it! It doesn't help that Hitsugaya has to be in Bankai when he uses it, so you'll take even more damage that isn't connected to that attack (In Bankai, anyone within a two-space radius of Hitsugaya takes damage and can be potentially frozen, lowering accuracy and evasion.)
 * It's not an attack, but Absolute Defense is too horrible of a move to not mention it. A character with this will randomly (much more often than not) take single-digit damage from ANY attack. Yes, even Co-Op attacks. A lot of bosses in Kisuke's Tower have it, and it is extremely frustrating.
 * Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones has the Silencer skill. It is the reason why Assassins are almost never seen as enemies; half the chance they have of landing a critical hit becomes a chance to instantly kill the other unit. And there is no defending against it; when the Assassin sprite flickers, you're losing someone.
 * Fortunately, no Assassins appear as enemies in Sacred Stones. From this troper's knowledge, the only assassin you fight in the series is a boss in Blazing Sword, and even then only on a particular path.
 * Another example would be the Hel spell in Seisen no Keifu. Basically, it's an HP to One attack. In a game with Final Death. And unlike Eclipse in the GBA games, this one can actually hit you. And if your HP already is 1, it kills you. Did I mention the enemies with this spell come in groups??
 * Some ROM hacks bring their own horrible weapons to the table, such as GhebSaga with the Demi Lance. It hits for 1/2 of your maximum health, but has the Brave effect, meaning it ALWAYS attacks twice. It also can be thrown for a ranged attack. The only thing that doesn't make it completely rage-inducing is the fact that its accuracy isn't the greatest, but it's still able to kill you instantly.
 * Eclipse, the skill used by the Black Knight in Radiant Dawn. It multiplies his Strength by FIVE, and also negates the opponent's defense. During the duel between him and Ike, if you don't have Nihil equipped on Ike, then you're looking at a 40% chance of him activating it, and Ike will almost certainly die.
