Drowner - Vengeful Spirit of the Water
The Drowner, a soul drowned in water, is said to be filled with resentment and vengeance, seeking to drag others into the same fate. However, it is often seen crying like a child—perhaps longing for someone who might understand the pain of its untimely death.
Type: Attack / Death
Soul Ability – Drown with Me!
Cooldown: Once per Night
Duration: 10 seconds
After death, you revive for 10 seconds, able to move and attack—but only the enemy who killed you. If you successfully defeat them, you revive completely, gaining +35% movement speed while revived.
Revival (Ability Activation)
Successful Kill (Full Revival)

If the Drowner attacks a non-target during revival, it vanishes (dies again).
If the Drowner fails to take revenge within the duration, it vanishes.
The direction of the revenge target is displayed to the Drowner.
While revived, the Drowner is invincible.
The Drowner can use tools while revived.
The Drowner can be affected by tools while revived.
The Drowner can attack during both Day and Night while revived.
Activates only when killed by an attack (includes Gumiho’s Charm and Sackman’s Kidnap).
Does not activate if killed by [No Takebacks] or [Changgwi].
If revived during the Day, time spent in Twilight does not reduce the duration.
In a 1v1 situation, if the Drowner is killed, it revives and may attack; the opponent wins if they survive 10 seconds.
Even if full revival succeeds during the Day, the ability can be reused at Night (1 charge per Night).
In [Who’s With You?] mode, if the Drowner is killed by an ally, it can take revenge and survive… Discuss for 10 seconds who benefits from that outcome.
