undodgeable

Impossible to sidestep

Undodgeable describes something that cannot be evaded or avoided.

The word appears most often in gaming contexts, where an undodgeable attack hits regardless of defensive maneuvers: The boss's final phase has an undodgeable sweep attack.

Outside gaming, it applies to unavoidable circumstances: The question was undodgeable—she had to answer.
