Wintera Snowfield

Wintera Snowfield is special PvP Battleground in TERA. It's only available during Christmas time. As battleground Wintera has no location in open world and is only accessible using Battleground Matching dialog.

Players have only snowballs available as weapons. These and some more powerups can be picked up from snow patches on ground and chests. Each player starts with one resurrection scroll to revive killed teammate. Powerups include: It's possible to charge up Snowballs to Snow Barrage which deals more damage. Movement speed is halved when charging skill.
 * Flameball, fireball that explodes and slows down anyone caught in melted ground
 * IceTrap, stun trap best placed on chest opponent may try to open
 * Hot Cider, powerful heal
 * Thermal Layer, powerful shield that makes you immune to knockdown and stuns

Wintera was added in December 2013. During winter 2018–2019 it was reworked as "battle royale" mode with shrinking safe area middle and damaging area growing from sides. In 2020 "Santa Caiman" spawning middle was added to battleground and killing it drops some loot.

Battleground has had some exploits like using Visionmaker weapon with Blacksmith's Hammerstrike to stun opponent, attack speed, PVP damage reflection and HP regen crystals. Gear has no effect on current battleground.
