Players can pick up the urn and deliver it to its destination at the side lanes of the map. Doing so grants the delivering team [[Souls]], a [[Golden statue]] buff, and additional souls for the courier.

== Spawn ==
== Spawn ==
After {{#var:First_spawn_time}} minutes, the Soul Urn spawns in one of 6 possible locations:
The soul urn spawns next to the bridge in either Yellow or Green Lane.
* Neutral: Next to the bridge in either Yellow or Green Lane
* Favored: Next to a jungle camp near either the team's Yellow or Green Walker
* Unfavored: Next to a jungle camp near either the enemy team's Yellow or Green Walker


The urn respawns and alternates lanes every {{#var:Respawn_time}} minutes. However, if the urn is picked up ''before'' the next spawn time and delivered ''after'' (i.e. picked up before {{#var:Second_spawn_time}} minutes and delivered after), it does not spawn again until the next scheduled spawn time. It descends from the sky for 12 seconds before it can be picked up. A player can grab the landed urn by hitting it with a [[Melee Attack]] (light or heavy).

[[File:Soul Urn favored.png|thumb|159x159px|Green candles indicating favored drop-off on the player's side]]
The drop-off point is on the opposite side of the map to the urn spawn. If the urn hasn't been picked up in 3 minutes, it will start walking on its own to the drop-off.
=== Comeback mechanic ===
The urn is normally surrounded by rotating white candles on spawn. If the capturing team is behind by '''{{#expr:(1-{{DataProp|Convar|citadel_golden_idol_balance_threshold}})*100}}% or more''' ('''{{#expr:(1-{{DataProp|Convar|citadel_golden_idol_balance_threshold_first_spawn}})*100}}%''' for the first urn), the Urn becomes a "Favored" or "Comeback" Urn. In the case of one's own team being in a soul deficit, the candles become '''green'''. In the case that the enemy team is in a soul deficit, the candles become '''red'''.
 
The team favored by the urn receives {{MiscData|citadel_koth_cashin|ComebackAuraModifier|modifierProvidedByAura|TechResist}}% [[Damage Resistance|Bullet, Spirit]], and [[Debuff Resist]] inside the urn capture point while it's being deposited, have a shorter depositing timer, and receive bonus souls if they win the urn.


== Carrying the Urn ==

While carrying the urn, the courier is affected in several ways:
While carrying the urn, the courier is affected in several ways:
* They get a bonus of +3.5 m/s [[Move Speed]] (capped at 15 m/s max), +2m/s [[Sprint Speed]], +1 [[Stamina]], +10% Dash Distance, +15% Stamina Regen, and have 100% [[Slow Resistance]].

** [[Gravity Scale]] and air control is set to 100% (this affects {{HeroIcon|Celeste}} and {{HeroIcon|Ivy}}).
** If they're on the trailing team, the courier also gets up to +{{MiscData|citadel_idol_cashin|ComebackAuraModifier|modifierProvidedByAura|ScriptValues|1|value}}% [[Damage Resistance|Bullet, Spirit]], and [[Debuff Resist]] and +5m/s Sprint Speed (along with the default +2m/s). These buffs scale based on how behind the team is in souls (up to 15%).
** If they're on the favored team, the courier also gets +{{MiscData|citadel_idol_cashin|ComebackAuraModifier|modifierProvidedByAura|ScriptValues|1|value}}% [[Damage Resistance|Bullet, Spirit]], and [[Debuff Resist]] and +5m/s Sprint Speed (along with the default +2m/s). Unlike the team resists, this is active on both carrying and depositing phases.
* They are [[Status Effects#Disarmed|disarmed]] and [[Status Effects#Movement Silence|movement silenced]].
** {{HeroIcon|Yamato}} can bypass these restrictions with {{AbilityIcon|Shadow Transformation}}. This is likely unintentional.
* They are revealed to the enemy team at all times on the [[Minimap]].
* They cannot use [[Ziplines]] or [[Teleporter]]s.

The courier can drop the urn at any time by pressing their [[parry]] key. [[Melee Attack|Melee attacks]] (light or heavy) and [[Melee Damage]] abilities from enemy Players (or [[NPCs]]), and any [[Status_Effects|stun]] source will force the courier to drop it. If the urn is left on the ground, it will wait indefinitely if there are enemies of the last courier's team in a 40m radius, or for 13s if there are only ally players in that radius. Once either this timer runs out or all players leave the 40m radius, it cannot be picked up anymore and will run back to its spawn point.

'''Note:''' The Soul Urn's soul value is determined at the moment it spawns. Holding onto the urn for longer durations does not increase its value.

=== Anti-stalling mechanics ===
=== Anti-stalling mechanics ===
To prevent one team from holding the urn for too long without delivering it, the urn begins to deal [[Pure Damage]] to its courier for 5% of their max health per second and disables their [[Health Regen]] after carrying it for 40 seconds (counting the time it's held by the entire team). However, this timer is paused if there are enemies in a 40m radius of the courier or if the urn is dropped, and resets if the enemy team picks it up. 2s are added to the team's timer whenever the urn is picked up again.
If the urn hasn't been delivered in 45s, it will start decaying in value for another 45s, until its value reaches zero and it expires. This is indicated by the "delivering the urn" text turning red and counting down.
 
If the team's urn timer goes over 45s, the urn will run back to its spawn if it's dropped again with no enemies nearby. It cannot be picked up again while it's running.
 
== Delivering the Urn ==
The drop-off point is on the opposite side of the map to the urn spawn.

=== Courier's bonus ===
=== Comeback bonus ===
The courier receives a personal bonus equal to '''{{MiscData|citadel_idol_cashin|DropOffPlayerBonusPercent}}%''' of their total share (Base Share + Comeback Bonus), as well as 4 random [[Golden Statue]] buffs. These bonuses are awarded instantly upon delivery (before the depositing phase, and not affected by which team ultimately wins the urn).
 
=== Comeback reward ===


If the favored team wins the urn, they get a soul bonus that scales based on game time and the team's soul deficit. It uses a growth rate of {{Souls|{{MiscData|citadel_idol_cashin|ComebackBounty}}}} Souls per minute. The first {{Souls|3000}} souls of net worth difference are ignored when calculating the deficit.
If the courier is on the trailing team, they get a soul bonus that scales based on game time and the team's soul deficit. It uses a growth rate of {{Souls|{{MiscData|citadel_idol_cashin|ComebackBounty}}}} Souls per minute.
