# Hearts and Eliminations

SemperMC is designed around a normal starting total and a higher maximum total. The live `/lifesteal` display shows your current status.

### Losing Your Final Heart

Reaching zero hearts temporarily bans your account from the Lifesteal server.

The elimination timer may depend on current server policy and rank settings. The timer shown in game is authoritative.

### Returning After Elimination

After the elimination period ends, you return with a recovery heart total rather than your former maximum.

Prepare before re-entering dangerous areas:

* Keep replacement gear stored safely.
* Avoid carrying every rare item.
* Maintain trusted teammates.
* Bind resurrection equipment when available.

### Resurrection Beacons

SemperMC supports bindable resurrection beacons.

Use `/bind` with the required item to connect the beacon to a player. A correctly configured beacon can provide a route back after elimination.

### Avoiding Elimination

* Stop unnecessary fights when low on hearts.
* Keep healing and escape items ready.
* Use claims and allies.
* Do not combat-log.
* Track relic cooldowns.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.sempermc.net/core-gameplay/hearts-and-eliminations.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
