{{Quotation|[[The Hidden King]]|During the ritual, death is temporary. You will return, but know this: the more powerful you become, the longer you stay out of action when you die. Perhaps use that time to go shopping for when you return to the mortal coil.
'''Death''' occurs when a [[hero]] takes sufficient damage to be reduced to zero health. Upon dying, the player's screen is shaded gray, a death replay is available to watch, a death timer is displayed over their hero's icon, [[souls]] are rewarded to heroes who earned a kill or an assist, and other hero or situation-specific events may occur, as detailed below.

While dead, players can browser the [[shop]], spectate their teammates, use pings and talk in chat. If all allies are dead, only the [[Patron]]'s perspective can be seen. Clicking an objective on the [[Minimap]] allows the player to view the perspective of that objective.

As the game progresses, the players will take longer to respawn. The respawn time is measured by three distinct curves, as follows:
As the game progresses, the players will take longer to respawn. The respawn time increases linearly based on the following times:

=== Rejuvenator Buff ===
=== [[Rejuvenator]] Crystal Revive Tokens ===
The [[Rejuvenator]] buff, obtained from the [[Mid-Boss]], grants the holder an in-place revive.
Revive Tokens are obtained from the Crystal that drops upon killing the [[Mid-Boss]]. The Crystal contains a total of 3 Revive Tokens.


Upon dying, a player with the buff will not enter the standard respawn timer. Instead, after 3 seconds, they will revive at the location of their death. This death does not count as a kill for the enemy, does not grant a bounty, and does not affect the player's K/D/A score. The buff is consumed upon use.
Revive Tokens can only be claimed by a [[Melee Damage|Heavy Melee]], and only 1 is granted per punch.
 
Revive Tokens are consumed upon a players death, and any further deaths from that player will not consume more. Once all the Tokens are consumed, the entire team will lose access to the mid-boss buff.
 
Killing a player with a Rejuvenator credit does not appear as a kill in the HUD and does not grant any [[souls]], but it does trigger "on hero kill" effects such as the cooldown reset of {{HeroIcon|Shiv}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Killing Blow}} or the [[stack]] buildup of {{HeroIcon|Grey Talon}}'s, {{HeroIcon|Mo & Krill}}'s and {{HeroIcon|Vindicta}}'s ultimates. The same happens when triggering {{HeroIcon|Victor}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Shocking Reanimation}}.
