Editing Souls (section)

== Gathering Souls ==

===Hero Kills===

* Souls from player kills are influenced by the team's overall Soul count: teams with fewer Souls gain more from kills.

===Soul Distribution===

* [[Trooper]] souls are distributed between nearby players with the following formula:
** 100/60/35/25/20/16% (for 1/2/3/4/5/6 players)
*** EX: 120 Souls between 4 players would grant each player 30 Souls (120 * 25%)
* As of the [[Update:April 17, 2025|2025-04-17]] update, souls are no longer duplicated before 8 minutes.

'''Before 8 minutes (Lane Phase)'''

* When a Trooper is killed, the killer will receive 50% of the Trooper's souls at once, then the remaining 50% when the Soul Orb is destroyed by themselves, an ally, or it expires.
<!-- [ In case they change it back ]

* For two players, Souls from Troopers are 'duplicated' between both players as long as they are within range (See range here. This means a Trooper kill worth 80 souls will grant 80 souls to each player.
* If 3 or more players attempt to receive souls from a creep, the killer will receive the full Trooper value, while all other players will equally divide the duplicated amount.
* For example: for a Trooper creep worth 80 Souls in a lane of 3 heroes, the killer will receive 80 Souls and both other players will receive 40 Souls each. <ref>https://youtu.be/4I1YH4xNxfA?t=230 - Timestamped video showing Trooper Soul split in lane before 8 minutes</ref> -->
'''After 8 minutes (Post-lane Phase)'''

* Trooper Souls are no longer granted on kill, instead 100% souls are granted when the Soul Orb is destroyed or expires.

<!-- THIS IS HOW IT WAS PRIOR TO SEPT 26th PATCH
KEEP AROUND IN CASE IT CHANGES AGAIN
* When the game begins, each lane is "designated" as either a 1-player (Solo) lane or a 2-player (Duo) lane. 
* When a [[Trooper]] is killed, the killer will receive half of the Trooper's Souls at once, then half again when the Soul Orb is destroyed by themselves, an ally, or it expires.
* For Duo lanes with two players in it, Souls from Troopers are 'duplicated' between both players (about 50m from the kill). This means a Trooper kill worth 50 Souls will grant 50 Souls to ''each'' player.
* If 3+ players in a Duo lane OR 2+ players in a Solo lane attempt to receive Souls from a creep, the killer will receive the full Trooper value, while all other players will equally divide the duplicated amount.
** For example: for a Trooper creep worth 50 Souls in a lane of 3 heroes in a Duo lane, the killer will receive 50 Souls and both other players will receive 25 Souls each. <ref>https://youtu.be/4I1YH4xNxfA?t=230 - Timestamped video showing Trooper soul split in lane before 10 minutes</ref> -->
===Denizens (Jungle Creeps)===

* Jungle camps contain [[Denizens]] that give Souls to players on kill. They do not release Soul Orbs.  
** In order for Denizens to give Souls to both players, both players must deal damage to the Denizen.
** Souls from Denizens are split between all allied players who dealt damage to said Denizens.
*Souls from Denizens are '''Unsecured''' Souls

===Breakables===
* Breaking the wooden crates scattered throughout the map will have a chance to spawn some Souls.
** Chance for any given crate to drop Souls when broken is approximately 40%
** Amount of Souls dropped is a function of in-game time:
*** ''[Souls Dropped] = 45 + 3*([Game Time in Minutes] - 3)''
*** For example: At 25:00 game time, a broken crate will drop 111 Souls.

Be aware that Soul Orbs can be denied from events like [[Soul Urn]] turn-ins, Guardian destruction, or [[Sinner's Sacrifice]] machines.
