Wipe

Wipe, in MMORPGs, refers to a situation when all members of a party are dead inside of a dungeon. When multiple wipes occur in the same dungeon attempt, it can be referred to as a wipefest.

In TERA, dungeon bosses reset if there is no player alive with aggro. When a boss resets, they will return to their original position and go back to 100% health. This usually discourages players from attempting the boss again, as any progress made is now gone.

Even after a wipe, the situation can be fixed if a player is able to resurrect themself using an item such as and gain aggro before the boss resets. However, unless a second player is resurrected, nothing can be done to further save the battle from ending in failure.

In most situations, a wipe can only be saved if two players are left alive. One player will distract the boss, while the second will resurrect someone. It is recommended that the support or tank is resurrected first, as they are they most important roles in a party.
