Reviving is not meant to be a substitute for good equipment and skillful play; as a result, the energy cost to revive increases steeply each time that this feature is used during a single journey into the clockworks. The cost of the first revival depends on the tier you are in: 2 energy for tier 1, 5 energy for tier 2, and 10 energy for tier 3. Each subsequent revival during an adventure costs twice as much as the previous revival, shown by the equation 2<sup>n-1</sup>*(base cost) energy, where n is the number of revives, with a maximum cost of 1,000 energy per revive.

For example, a player who revives five times in tier 3 can expect to pay 160 energy for the fifth revive, and the cumulative cost of revives 1-5 will be 310 energy. (As costs become high, the total price paid for all revivals in that adventure will be roughly twice the cost of the last single revive, and far more than the cost of starting a new adventure from the last subtown)

When fighting monsters in the Clockworks, if a knight's health bar reaches empty, the knight will be defeated, and will not be able to fight until revived. A defeated knight will lose 30% of the heat they had collected so far. Should that player be revived by another player, the lost 30% will be given to the rescuer. Defeated knights are indicated by this icon Icon-dead.png in the party listing.

There are several methods to revive yourself and other party members.

Methods of Reviving

Living Party Member Shares Health to Revive You

Use ATTACK to give a defeated player half of your health.

A knight can give half their health to a defeated party member. Run to the defeated player and use ATTACK to make the transfer which you see the raise icon Icon-raise.png. The defeated player will need to use ATTACK to accept the health and return to the fight. A knight must have at least 1 health bar in order to make the transfer. Please note that the health display may show a full bar of health, when it fact, it is only 3/4 full. If this is the case, a knight will not be able to revive a fellow knight using this method.

Paying Energy to Revive Yourself

Pay energy to revive yourself or everyone in the party who is currently defeated.

When a knight is defeated, a menu will appear with the option to pay energy to revive and continue the fight. If more than one knight in the party is defeated, there is an option to pay to revive everyone. If you do not want to pay energy to revive, you can click to return to Haven.

Another Party Member Paying Energy to Revive You

Left click on defeated knight in the party menu to use energy to revive.

A knight can use energy to revive another party member who is defeated. Click on the defeated knight in the party menu and choose to revive with energy.

Living Party Members Reach the Elevator

If all the living party members reach the elevator, they may elect to go down and all dead players will be revived with 3 bars upon reaching the next level.

Cost of Reviving

Reviving is not meant to be a substitute for good equipment and skillful play; as a result, the energy cost to revive increases steeply each time that this feature is used during a single journey into the clockworks. The cost of the first revival depends on the tier you are in: 2 energy for tier 1, 5 energy for tier 2, and 10 energy for tier 3. Each subsequent revival during an adventure costs twice as much as the previous revival, shown by the equation 2n-1*(base cost) energy, where n is the number of revives, with a maximum cost of 1,000 energy per revive. Refer to the table below:

# Revive Tier 1 Tier 2 Tier 3
1st 2 5 10
2nd 4 10 20
3rd 8 20 40
4th 16 40 80
5th 32 80 160
6th 64 160 320
7th 128 320 640
8th 256 640 1,000
9th 512 1,000 1,000
10th 1,000 1,000 1,000
All further revives will cost the 1,000 maximum.

For example, a player who revives five times in tier 3 can expect to pay 160 energy for the fifth revive, and the cumulative cost of revives 1-5 will be 310 energy. (As costs become high, the total price paid for all revivals in that adventure will be roughly twice the cost of the last single revive, and far more than the cost of starting a new adventure from the last subtown)

The base revival cost resets when a knight returns to Haven, or reaches a subtown. If you attempt to rejoin the same party at the same depth, the cost of revivals will not reset. Furthermore, if you are dead when you leave a party, you will be dead when you rejoin the same party at the same level.

Knights will automatically leave the Clockworks if all members of the party are dead and do not revive within five minutes.
