Downsides to hero death?

[irrevenant]

If a hero dies they seem to only seem dead for like 5 seconds then they're up and fighting again. Are there any long term repercussions to hero death?

Thanks.

OMG in the later levels when enemies are overwhelming you, you are using your hero to hold them, you'll see how those 5 secs are an eternity and may cause you to loose.

So noted. That's the only drawback though?

I think that the more levels a hero has, the less time he needs to resurrect. So at level 10, a hero needs a few seconds to revive and that is good because heavier waves are always the last. This leveling mechanic was changed in Frontiers for the better. I wish heroes from KR had the leveling system of KRF.

Actually, heroes will have a consistent revive time of 15 seconds regardless of levels(although oni has 18 sec and ignus have 12 sec of revive time). !5 seconds can make alot of difference as you could be overwhelmed during that time.
