I don't think you know the difference between AT and the actual damage you do.

At LV 1, you have 10 AT plus your weapon's AT. You deal incredible damage to Asgore because Asgore doesn't want to fight. He has incredibly low defense, you don't have incredibly high offense.

In Genocide, you one-shot everything. This is not directly because of your AT stat (which caps out at 99 anyway), but because of your LV.

Basically, stats couldn't matter less than in Undertale.
