A wave of [[Trooper|troopers]] are spawned at each team's side every 30 seconds. They ride the [[Ziplines|zipline]] until it stops being supported, or if they are damaged by an enemy, and then continue on foot in the lane. They stop and fight if they encounter an enemy. It takes roughly 4 seconds for a squad to reach the standard start of the lane. Every wave of troopers has a healer | A wave of [[Trooper|troopers]] are spawned at each team's side every 30 seconds.

It takes roughly 4 seconds for a squad to reach the standard start of the lane. Every wave of troopers has a healer and 3 ranged troopers. The healer has a flag on its back and heals all nearby friendly units every few seconds. Ranged troopers target the nearest enemy with each shot. This is speculation, but they seem to preferentially target enemy troopers. | ||
When you score the last hit on a trooper, you gain some souls, and a green blob is spawned at the trooper's location.

If you last-hit a trooper with a melee attack, no floating blob is spawned, you just get the souls automatically.

If an enemy last-hits one of your troopers, they gain souls, and an orange blob is spawned that functions like the green ones. You can shoot souls of any color to collect their soul value. If the soul reaches the auto-collection ceiling, the souls it contained are credited to the player who last hit the trooper that spawned the soul. Shooting the souls of an enemy team is called a "deny," as you are denying them some souls. | If an enemy last-hits one of your troopers, they gain souls, and an orange blob is spawned that functions like the green ones.
