The Rejuvenator.

The Rejuvenator is a single rune that spawns above the Mid-Boss pit after it is slain. It appears as a large, green crystal. After the Mid-Boss is killed, the Rejuvenator descends over 6 seconds and cannot be claimed until it fully touches the ground. Once it lands, any player in the match can hit it with a heavy melee attack, granting the Rejuvenation Credit buff to their entire team. Each heavy melee hit grants one Rejuvenator Credit to the team, up to 3. Hitting the Rejuvenator also heals the first player who punched it to full health.

Rejuvenation Credit

The Rejuvenation Credit is a team-wide buff granted to all allies when a Rejuvenator crystal is claimed. The buff lasts 4 minutes or until all credits are consumed, whichever comes first.

When there are 30 seconds left on the buff duration, Heroes are warned that it will expire soon.

The buff allows each player to revive with Error: NPC "citadel_item_pickup_rejuv" not found.% of their health in the place of their death after Error: NPC "citadel_item_pickup_rejuv" not found. seconds. Upon death, the player respawns in place, loses the buff, and their team's Rejuvenator Credits are reduced by 1 (each player can only consume one credit). The top UI bar displays the remaining Rejuvenator Credits, and players who haven't consumed a credit have a highlight below their net worth. When all credits are used, the buff is removed from all team members.

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 Shiv's Killing Blow or the stack buildup of Grey Talon's, Mo & Krill's and Vindicta's ultimates.
