Heroes that die give the enemy team XP and power, and must wait for a 15s respawn timer before they rejoin the match. A green life blossom is also dropped from a hero's dead body, which can be picked up by an enemy hero for 
+300 HP healing.
Dying while a teammate is dead will extend their respawn timer, such that all dead heroes on the team respawn closer together. It is highly punishing to stagger deaths, and you should often focus on playing safely and avoiding death while your teammates are waiting to respawn. Heroes respawn on the airship, allowing them to pick which of the three starting locations to launch into.
