Blackheart's Bay | Map types and descriptions of maps Heroes of the Storm Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
On this map, the players fight in Blackheart's port. Your task is to collect Doubloons. Then, you can give them to Blackheart to bombard your enemy. You can collect Doubloons in several ways.
Treasure chests
Attack the chests to get Doubloons. After a few attacks, a coin will fall out of it, then another, and finally the chest will break and the last three coins will fall out. Remember that you have to get the coins first!
Pirate camps
You can get Doubloons by killing Pirates. They are easy to kill, but they will give you only 2 Doubloons. One for each pirate.
Defeating the enemy
In the screenshot above you can see that the enemies have two Doubloons (1 doubloon each). That means that when you kill them, they will drop 2 Doubloons that you can collect. Don't carry too much coins because the enemies will want to kill you.
Blackheart
Take the Doubloons to Blackheart, he's in the center of the map.
To pay Blackheart, point him and press RMB. It will take some time so get a few characters to guard you. Remember that the pirate is on the side of a team that pays him first (10 Doubloons the first time, then it costs more - 12/14/18 coins).
Blackheart's ship has 12 cannonballs and shoots at a selected target.
You can see how many cannonballs are left at the bottom right corner. After shooting 12 times, Blackheart will come back to the center and will start collecting coins again.

Help
Collecting Doubloons is the most important thing here. Try to fight over every chest and don't make the enemy collect the coins. If you can't prevent them from doing it, you can kill them and retrieve the Doubloons. Remember that paying Blackheart takes a while, so the enemy has the time to stop you. If your team has an advantage, don't run around with too much Doubloons because any mistake can result in losing the game. If you have a few Doubloons, give them to Blackheart and wait, don't lose them.
