focus fire
Unified attack point
Focus fire is a tactical term for concentrating multiple attacks on a single target rather than spreading damage across several.
Originally from military contexts, it's now common in video games where coordinated teams eliminate priority targets quickly: Focus fire the healer first.
The phrase emphasizes unified effort over scattered action.
