Tera Raid Calculator

Reviewed by: David Chen, Strategy Analyst & Trainer

The **Tera Raid Calculator** helps you estimate the necessary damage output (DPS) or the time required to defeat a high-level Tera Raid Boss. Input three out of the four variables to solve for the missing one, ensuring your team is prepared for battle.

Tera Raid Calculation Formula

The core relationship used in this calculator is:

P × L = T × E

Where:

P: Player DPS
L: Raid Time Limit
T: Target Completion Score
E: Boss Effective Health Points

Variables Explained

  • Target Completion Score (T): A metric to quantify raid success; often set to 100 for a guaranteed win.
  • Player Damage Per Second (P): The average amount of damage your Pokémon deals to the boss per second, accounting for multipliers and defense.
  • Raid Time Limit (L): The total time (in seconds) allowed for the raid (e.g., 300 seconds for a typical 5-star raid).
  • Boss Effective Health Points (E): The total damage the boss can take, including its base HP and shield durability.

What is the Tera Raid Calculator?

The Tera Raid Calculator is a strategic tool designed to move beyond simple damage predictions. High-star Tera Raids require not just strong attacks, but coordinated, sustained damage over time to break the shield and deplete the boss’s inflated health pool. This calculator helps players model the critical relationship between damage rate (DPS), time constraints, and the immense effective HP of the boss.

By solving for the unknown variable, you can answer key strategic questions, such as: “What is the minimum DPS my team needs to achieve?” or “How much time is left if our current DPS is X?” This is crucial for planning your item usage and move selection to ensure victory before the clock runs out.

How to Calculate Required DPS (Example)

  1. Identify Knowns: Assume you know the desired Target Score ($T=100$), the Raid Time Limit ($L=300$ seconds), and the Boss EHP ($E=45000$). The unknown is Player DPS ($P$).
  2. Setup the Equation: Start with the core formula: $P \times L = T \times E$.
  3. Isolate the Unknown: Rearrange the formula to solve for $P$: $P = (T \times E) / L$.
  4. Substitute Values: $P = (100 \times 45000) / 300$.
  5. Solve: $P = 4,500,000 / 300 = 15,000$.
  6. Conclusion: Your team needs to achieve an average damage output of 15,000 DPS to defeat the raid within the time limit and hit the target score.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How accurate is the Effective Health Points (EHP) input?

The Boss EHP input is an estimate, as the true EHP of a Tera Boss changes with shield activation and phase transitions. Use reliable online resources for the base EHP multiplier for the raid star level you are targeting (e.g., a 6-star raid has a much higher multiplier than a 4-star raid).

Why is there a Target Completion Score?

The Target Completion Score (T) is a theoretical normalization factor. It ensures that the calculated result represents a clear win condition. Setting it to 100 often translates to dealing 100% of the required damage before the time limit depletes.

What happens if I enter all four variables?

If you enter all four, the calculator performs an internal consistency check. It will determine if the values you entered ($P \times L$) match the product of the other two ($T \times E$). If they do not match, it will report the discrepancy (the residual error).

What is the maximum Raid Time Limit (L)?

While the actual time limit can vary by the star level, most common high-level raids are constrained to between 300 and 450 seconds. Consult in-game data for the precise limit of your target raid.
