Heartless Angel

Heartless Angel in Final Fantasy VI, the first instance of an HP To One ability.

HP to one abilities reduce the target's HP to one regardless of their current HP. This is sometimes done by simply setting the targets to one HP, or at other times by inflicting damage to them equal to their max HP minus one. They are commonly used by final bosses and superbosses. One of the best known of these abilities is Heartless Angel, which has become the trademark attack of Sephiroth.
