one-shotting
Single-blow total defeat
One-shotting is defeating an enemy or completing a challenge with a single attack or attempt.
The term comes from video games, where it describes killing a powerful opponent in one hit: I one-shotted the boss with a critical strike.
It implies overwhelming power or perfect execution.
Outside gaming, it can mean accomplishing something difficult on the first try.
