they're describing what we might call an "execution threshold," maybe "low health finisher" or something like that depending on the game. doomguy could press F to heal himself off us

but yeah none of those sound quite right, "1hp" feels like a good translation of the concept

Yeah execution threshold is what’s familiar to me, but also that may be some residual WoW in my brain

"Execution threshold" is just a synonym for "kill line". To execute is to kill. A threshold is a line. The words basically mean the same thing. This is just ambiguity in translation. It happens a lot. What can be expressed with two different words in one language with only subtle differences in meaning, another language may only have one single word for and not make that kind of distinction.
