Raid Damage and Fainting

If during a legendary raid your six pokemon all faint and then you go back in, do you lose the damage your first six did and thus potentially miss out on extra balls?

This morning my last mon fainted at the same time as the raid boss and I got damage bonus (but oddly not gym control). Not sure about if you rejoin.

The reason I say it, is that I have twice fainted in legendary raids and gone back in and both times only ended up with 5 balls. Despite the gym being the same team and other players of the same team getting more balls.

I think you do miss out on the damage reward. Lots of people are throwing in tanks as their 6th man to make sure they don't faint. Yesterday I joined a group of raiders mostly from another team. I was able to survive the raid and think I was the only one, I got 3 damage balls. While I know I carried my weight, I didn't do the bulk of the damage.

In some ways it's a relief if it's the case, as I thought I wasn't carrying my weight!

The damage you did before still counts, but you will miss out on the damage bonus.

Yeah that's what I figured. So a tank counter in the 6th slot seems to be the way.

Or if you are sure your teammates can beat the boss without you, don't rejoin. The damage (for calculating the damage bonus)is reset the moment you rejoin.

Ahh, that explains something. In a few legendary battles it seems a lot of people have dropped out near the end, and its just my Blissey and a few others left blasting.

so idiotic. I'm doing all the work using the absolute best DPS guys, we barely eke out the win... the guy doing nothing but dodging with Blissey the last 30 seconds gets more balls than I do because his 6 didn't feint. Big group the other day one lower level player literally did nothing but dodge so he wouldn't have to use potions. Still got the same rewards I did with my 6 Tyranitar, fight to the death lineup.
