The Soul Urn respawns on the side it was delivered to.

'''Note:''' The Soul Urn's soul value is determined at the moment it spawns (e.g., 10:00, 15:00). Holding onto the urn for longer durations does not increase its value.

=== Drop-off location ===

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 (drop-off on the enemy's side), these candles are red.
The drop-off point is on the opposite side of the map, marked by a Soul Urn outline icon on the Minimap and colored red if an enemy player is currently carrying the urn. The urn is instantly turned in when the courier steps onto the drop-off (being in the air doesn't count).

The drop-off location is determined when an urn is first picked up by any player. Once determined, the drop-off point is fixed until the next urn spawn, even if the urn walks back to its spawn or the team soul difference changes.


The urn is instantly turned in when the courier steps on the drop-off. If the delivery takes longer than 45 seconds, the urn begins to damage its courier for 1.5% 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.
=== Anti-stalling mechanics ===
To prevent one team from holding the urn for too long without delivering it, the urn begins to damage its courier for 1.5% of their max health per second and disables their [[Health Regen]] after carrying it for 45 seconds. Furthermore, if the urn is dropped after that point the courier's entire team is prevented from picking up the urn again for 12 seconds. The 45-second timer pauses if the urn is dropped and resets if the enemy team picks it up.
