; Parry
* [[Melee Attack#Parry|Parries]] (Default key: <code>F</code>) are a defensive move available to every Hero, letting them block a melee hit from an enemy. On a successful parry, the enemy is stunned and takes 25% more damage from all sources for 2.75s. The parry goes on cooldown once it's used, but is instantly refunded on a successful parry against another Hero or a Guardian. Troopers can also be parried, but doing so does not refund the cooldown.

* Farming is the process of focusing on gaining souls and buffs to increase your Hero's strength and buy more items. Farming typically consists of killing [[neutral]] camps and destroying breakables such as [[Crates]], [[Golden Statue]]s, and [[Sinner's Sacrifice]] machines.

* Killing an enemy hero will award more souls if that hero is stronger than the killer team's average networth, regardless of which team is leading in souls.

* The losing team gains up to {{#expr:({{DataProp|Convar|citadel_player_gold_comeback_npc_max_mutliplier_value}}-1)*100}}% more souls from Troopers, neutrals, Sinner's Sacrifices and Objectives, based on how behind they are (peaks at 20% max net worth difference). The first 3k in net worth difference is ignored.
* The losing team gains up to 30% more souls from Troopers, Denizens, Sinner's Sacrifices and Objectives, based on how behind they are (peaks at 20% max net worth difference). The first 3k in net worth difference is ignored.
* The Soul Urn will give additional souls to a team that is behind.


=== Pausing ===
* The [[Soul Urn]] drop-off location is located in the side lanes if teams are even, but located on the losing team's side if they have significantly less total souls (10% or more difference).
Each player may pause the game once per match. Pausing is disabled for the first 2 minutes of a match. Each team is limited to three pauses per match, meaning that after three different players on the same team have used their pause, that team can no longer pause the game. This allows for a maximum of six pauses per match.
* The Soul Urn will give 130% additional souls to a team that is behind.
 
When a pause is called, all in-game action stops. The game timer, player movement, abilities, projectiles, and all other gameplay elements are frozen until game resumes.
 
The player who called the pause may end it at any time. Otherwise, the pause becomes available for anyone to end after 30 seconds. There is no maximum pause duration.
 
Players are able to move their camera while the game is paused. Any camera movement made during the pause is not retained and will reset to its original position when the game resumes.
 
Pausing is not allowed in [[Street Brawl]].
 
=== Pre-Game phase ===
The pre-game phase lasts 30 seconds, during which players can ask to switch lanes with their team by clicking the colored button under another player's portrait in the top bar. In [[Ranked mode]], players may also switch to a different unlocked hero, provided it has not already been selected by any player on either team. In [[Street Brawl]], players have to pick their items and assign [[Ability Points]] during this phase.

Neutrals exist in the "Jungle" of the map. These Camps are located across the map and are denoted by cyan triangle icons. The number of lines beneath the icon indicates the difficulty of the camp: zero lines for easy camps, one line for medium camps, and two lines for hard camps. They are worth a small to medium amount of [[Souls]] if destroyed and respawn soon after.

When the Mid-Boss dies, it drops the [[Rejuvenator]]. The Rejuvenator must be claimed by landing heavy melee attacks on it, it requires 3 hits to fully collect. Each successful hit immediately grants every member of your team a '''Rejuvenation Credit'''.
When the mid boss dies it drops the [[Rejuvenator]]. Charged melee attacks will collect it. Securing the Rejuvenator awards your team with the '''Rejuvenation Credit''' that buffs you and your team along with your Troopers.  
If a hero dies while holding a Rejuvenation Credit, they will respawn at their death location and the credit is consumed. The credit does not affect deaths that happened before it was earned.

| [[Soul Urn]] || [[File:Soul_Urn_Render.png|110px]] || After 12 minutes of game time, the Soul Urn will appear and be ready for capture. The capturing team will receive a large bounty of [[Souls]] and a few minor stat buffs. The Urn respawns every 6 minutes, and its capture location is either under the mid bridge on green or under the mid bridge on yellow.
These [[Soul Orbs]] default to the capturer; however, they can be denied by opponents or confirmed by teammates to share the bounty.
 
The Urn respawns every 5 minutes, and its spawn location is to the side of either bridge on green or yellow, and its capture location will be the opposite spawn (i.e., urn spawns on yellow, so its capture will be at green).
