Additional Insights

  • Empty urns gain 2 charges.
  • If used on a hero with Soul Release already active on them, it will refresh its duration.
  • Does not trigger spell block or spell reflect.
  • When you use the Urn to heal your teammates, it's like a warm, comforting embrace, patching up their wounds and giving them a boost of health over time. It's like having a handy first aid kit for your team! But when you use it against enemies, those collected souls turn into a fiery burst, dealing a bit of damage. It's a little reminder to your opponents that your team isn't to be trifled with!
