Tera Rule Issue
I've been trying to figure this out. I understand that Tera rule will prevent damage done to the Tera when on the bench. I believe, from what I could find, that if you have a duplicate Tera ex, one on bench and one in active, then the rule only is supposed to apply to the bench ex. However, a couple days ago, I was playing against a Tsareena ex and was unable to attack with damage to the Active Tsareena ex once a duplicate was placed on the bench. I then realized that it wasn't the same for my Charizard ex, Arcanine ex, or Garchomp ex I have played against or used. That Tsareena ex could not be damaged. It was registering a 0 every round I tried to attack. I triple checked that no other card effect was played. Is Tsareena ex bugged, did I encounter a cheater, or am I not understanding the Tera rule?

Panic Mask is also possible if the active tsareena had one attached. To be clear this is assuming your own active had 40hp or less.

I've been scratching my head with an issue with the tera rule also. I understand it blocks all damage from attacks while on the bench. I also thought placing damage counters does not count as an attack. So what is happening to me is when I use dragapult ex phantom drive and place my damage counters, all that damage is still blocked by the tera rule on the tcg app.

Damage counters aren't blocked by Tera rule in TCG Live... it can be a Pokemon ability that is protecting the bench or something like old Mist Energy that also protects from damage counters.
