Damage boost

In video games, damage boosting is a technique where the player intentionally or unintentionally takes damage and uses the several following frames of invincibility to defeat or get past an enemy or obstacle. Most commonly used in platformers such as the Super Mario games.

I couldn't jump over Bowser to reach the axe, so I damage boosted through him instead.
