one-trick
Lacking varied abilities
One-trick describes someone or something with only a single skill, method, or notable quality.
The term implies limitation—once you've seen the one trick, there's nothing more to offer.
A one-trick pony is the standard phrase, referring to a circus horse with just one act.
In gaming, a one-trick is a player who exclusively uses one character or strategy: He's a one-trick who only plays Widowmaker.
