Line 1:
{{trope}}
'''Basic Trope''': An attack fuelled by the combined inner power of a group of people.
* '''Straight''': [[The Hero|Bob]] blasts [[Big Bad|Emperor Evulz]] with the [[Kamehame Hadoken|Tropebuster]], and empowers it with the energies of the rest of the [[Five -Man Band]], as well as a number of civilians present.
* '''Exaggerated''': Bob uses the combined energies of everybody on the planet.
* '''Downplayed''': Only [[The Lancer]] adds his power to Bob's attack, and that's his main combat ability.
* '''Justified''': The [[Five -Man Band]] are robots, and Bob's using a [[Wave Motion Gun]] powered by [[Tim Taylor Technology]], so he can amp up the power by using his fellow robots' energy.
* '''Inverted''': Bob is [[Unskilled but Strong]], so his other four teammates use their best attacks on Evulz, while Bob adds his energy to their attacks.
* '''Subverted''': Bob refuses to use the Tropebuster, because Emperor Evulz might target the civilians to weaken it.
Line 13:
* '''Reconstructed''': They were unconscious, and reaffirm after they wake up that had they really died, their deaths would have been worth it to defeat Evulz anyway.
* '''Zig Zagged''':
* '''Averted''': Bob doesn't need any help to defeat Evulz. Or the [[Five -Man Band]] all use their strongest attacks on Evulz instead of adding their power to Bob's attack.
* '''Enforced''': "Emperor Evulz is [[Authority Equals Asskicking|strong enough to defeat armies alone]]. How can Bob beat him? We want him to go down in a huge [[Beam -O -War]], not a cheap assassination, but where can Bob get that kind of power from?"
* '''Lampshaded''':
* '''Invoked''':
Line 20:
* '''Defied''': Emperor Evulz targets Bob's helpers before he uses the attack.
* '''Discussed''':
* '''Conversed''': "Let me guess. The whole planet is going to team up to give Bob enough power to [[Beam -O -War|block]] the [[Earthshattering Kaboom|planet-destroying]] [[Wave Motion Gun]]?"
* '''Played For Laughs''': Bob uses a Combined Energy Attack for [[Mundane Utility]]. Everybody in the nearest few blocks collapses. [[Hilarity Ensues]] when they wake up pissed.
* '''Played For Drama''': Bob uses Combined Energy Attacks to beat everybody, and becomes a [[Jerkass]] about it, seeing his teammates as mere batteries for his technique. The [[Five -Man Band]] get sick of it, and ditch him next battle. His attack pops and he becomes the victim of a [[Curb Stomp Battle]]. The Band pull [[Big Damn Heroes]], but refuse to let him use their power for the Tropebuster until he apologises.
