Carefully crafted characters

I know there's a name for this in video games, but I can't think of it, and I can't find an appropriate entry here. I guess this is mostly an RPG trope, but it could probably apply to other genres too. What do you call it when someone carefully combines level-up picks, items, and/or magical spells in exactly the right way to become far more powerful than they have any right to be at that point in the game?

For those who've played Desktop Dungeons, if you're playing the Gorgon race, worship Dracul, and are lucky enough to get the right items, you can have a character with 100% physical resistance. He can't be physically hit *at all*. It was hilarious grinding down one of the bosses this way.

See Munchkin.

Min Max

Elite Tweak is the video game version.

Pretty sure Elite Tweak is when a character has an abnormal advancing method.

Like how Blue Magic revolves around getting hit by monster attacks, rather than leveling up or training spells.

Depends on the game

Munchkin refers to the kind of player who does this, Min-Making is the name of the leveling strategy that Munchkins use, and Twink is a character with gamebreaker equipment and abilities relative to their level.

And what do we get when we combine all of them?

"FKEN NOOB L2P!!!"

Or possibly the slightly more pleasant variant.
