The '''Soul Urn''', also known as '''Spirit Urn, Soul Jar''' or '''Spirit Jar''', is an object in the game that spawns at the 10 minutes mark and respawns in 5 minute intervals thereafter.

Players can choose to pick up the urn and deliver it to the other Soul Urn location on the other side of the map. Doing so will grant the team who delivered the urn some [[souls#Soul Orbs|Soul Orbs]]; a [[Golden statue]] buff; and the courier themselves is granted an [[Ability Point]], as well as additional Souls.
Players can pick up the urn and deliver it to its destination on the opposite side of the map. Doing so grants the delivering team [[souls#Soul Orbs|Soul Orbs]], a [[Golden statue]] buff, and an [[Ability Point]] for the courier, along with additional Souls.


The Soul Urn will respawn after delivery on the side it was delivered to.

== Carrying the Soul Urn ==
== Carrying the soul urn ==
After 10 minutes has elapsed in a match, the Soul Urn will spawn in one of two positions located in either of the two outermost lanes; beside the overhanging bridge at York Street (Yellow Lane) or beside the bridge at Park Avenue (Green Lane). The urn always spawns first on Yellow Lane at 10 minutes, then alternates to Green Lane at 15 minutes, back to Yellow at 20 minutes, and continues alternating in this pattern every 5 minutes. It will start by descending slowly from the sky and can only be grabbed after fully landing, which takes 12.5 seconds. Once landed, standing near the urn will cause the player to pick it up, taking 2 seconds. The player carrying the urn will be [[Status Effects#Silence|silenced]].
After 10 minutes, the Soul Urn spawns in one of two locations in the outermost lanes: beside the overhanging bridge at York Street (Yellow Lane) or beside the bridge at Park Avenue (Green Lane). The urn always spawns first on Yellow Lane at 10 minutes and alternates lanes every 5 minutes. It descends from the sky for 12.5 seconds before it can be picked up. A player can grab the landed urn by standing near it for 2 seconds.


While carrying the urn, the urn courier will have their [[Move Speed]] set to and limited to 15 m/s no matter what, but will be completely [[Status Effects#Disarmed|disarmed]] and silenced. However, it does not interrupt channeled abilities, notably [[Ivy#(4) Air Drop|Ivy's Air Drop]] and [[Viscous#(4) Goo Ball|Viscous' Goo Ball]]. The courier is revealed on the [[Minimap]] to the enemy team immediately after picking it up. Couriers are also incapable of riding [[Ziplines]] or taking [[Teleporter]]s, forcing them to run directly to the urn drop off point.  
While carrying the urn, the courier is affected in several ways:
*  Their [[Move Speed]] is set to a fixed 15 m/s and they have 100% [[Slow Resistance]].
*  They are [[Status Effects#Disarmed|disarmed]] and [[Status Effects#Silence|silenced]].
** Channeled abilities started before picking up the urn, like {{HeroIcon|Ivy}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Air Drop}} and {{HeroIcon|Viscous}}' {{AbilityIcon|Goo Ball}}, are not interrupted.
*  They are revealed to the enemy team on the [[Minimap]].
*  They cannot use [[Ziplines]] or [[Teleporter]]s.


The courier can choose to drop the urn at any moment by pressing their [[parry]] key.  
The courier can drop the urn at any time by pressing their [[parry]] key. A heavy melee attack or any [[Status_Effects|stun]] from an enemy will also force the courier to drop it. If an urn is left on the ground for too long, it will walk back to its spawn point.
[[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, marked by a small green box on the Minimap (or red, when the enemy is carrying it). If a team is behind by a certain soul threshold (15% for the first urn, 10% after), the drop-off point moves closer to their side. This "favored" status is indicated by four floating green candles around the urn. For the leading team, these candles are red.


A heavy melee attack or any [[Status_Effects|stun]] from an enemy will also force the courier to drop the urn. Dropped urns can be collected by any player, including the enemy team, and will walk back to its spawn point if left on the ground for too long.
It takes 2 seconds to turn in the urn. If the delivery takes longer than 90 seconds, the urn begins to damage its courier for 1% of their max health per second and disables their [[Health Regen]]. This timer pauses if the urn is dropped and resets if the enemy team picks it up.

The urn's drop-off point is on the opposite side of the map, indicated by a small green box on the Minimap. If one team is in the lead (measured by total soul delta, 15% for the first urn and 10% afterwards), the drop-off point will be closer to the losing team's side. If a team is favored, four floating candles appear around the urn: green to the team with favored drop-off (losing soul lead) and red to the team with unfavored drop-off.
== Soul urn reward ==
The Soul Urn's base soul bounty is '''700 Souls''' and increases by '''230 Souls per minute''' of game time.
 
*  '''First Urn (10 mins):''' 3,000 Souls
*  '''Second Urn (15 mins):''' 4,150 Souls
*  '''Third Urn (20 mins):''' 5,300 Souls
 
When a team successfully turns in the Soul Urn, the rewards are distributed as follows:
 
*  A random '''Golden Statue buff''' is granted to each member of the capturing team.
*  50% of the total Soul value is '''immediately and equally''' distributed among all 6 members of the capturing team.
*  The remaining 50% of the total Soul value is spawned as contestable '''Soul Orbs''', which can be claimed by either team.
*  The courier (the player who turns in the urn) is also awarded one [[Ability Point]].
 
=== Courier's bonus ===
The courier receives a personal bonus equal to '''25% of their share of the urn's total value'''. This bonus is calculated from the full bounty (before the 50/50 split) and is awarded instantly, meaning it cannot be denied by the enemy team.


It takes 2 seconds to properly drop off the urn, which then rewards the courier's team with soul orbs and additional bonuses. When the opposing team is carrying the Soul Urn, the green drop off box will appear red.
=== The comeback mechanic ===
If the capturing team's total soul count is behind the enemy's by '''10% or more''' (15% for the first urn), a comeback bounty of '''130 extra Souls''' is added to the total reward before distribution.


If the team carrying the Urn does not deliver it in 90s, it starts dealing damage to its courier, equal to 1% of the courier's max health, and [[Health Regen|health regen]] is dsabled until the Urn is dropped. The timer stops if the Urn is picked up by the enemy team.
*  This entire comeback bonus is awarded '''instantly''' to the team and is '''not split''' into contestable Soul Orbs. This mechanic makes the Soul Urn a critical, high-value objective for a team that is behind.


== Soul Urn Reward ==
=== Example distribution (3,000 Soul Urn, no comeback) ===
The Soul Urn Bounty is 700 + 230/min (10 min spawn is 3000).
*  '''Total Instant Souls:''' 1,500 (50% of 3,000)
*  '''Total Souls in Orbs:''' 1,500 (50% of 3,000)


* A random Golden Statue buff is granted to each member of the capturing team.
# '''Each Teammate (5 players) receives:'''
* 50% of the total Soul value is immediately given to the capturing team.
#* 250 Souls instantly (1,500 / 6 players)
** The remaining 50% of Souls are given in Soul Orbs, which may be Denied.
* The courier receives an extra 25% of the share of Souls and an [[Ability Point]].
* If the capturing team is behind, extra Souls are granted based on the magnitude of the deficit.


* The courier will receive 20.83% of the urn value (12.5% instantly, 8.33% in Soul Orbs).
# '''The Courier receives:'''
* The courier's teammates will receive 16.67% of the urn value (10% instantly, 6.66% in Soul Orbs).<!--
#* 250 Souls instantly (their team share)
[ OUTDATED ]
#* + 125 Souls instantly (personal bonus calculated as [3,000 / 6] * 0.25)
#* + 1 Ability Point
#* '''Total for Courier:''' 375 Souls + 1 Ability Point
