Sky Temple | Map types and descriptions of maps Heroes of the Storm Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

The Sky Temple is a map that has been conceived in a completely different style. What you find here are deserts and the architecture here resembles Kaldeum in Diablo III. All of this is very spectacular. What this map is about is, predominantly, holding the temples that are capable of destroying enemy buildings, at a distance, quickly. The temples have been built at the top, in the center and at the bottom of the map. Before the temples activate, you will be notified as to when it is going to happen.

After you get such a notification, you need to get to the temples to be activated, as quickly as possible (they will be marked on the minimap). In this case, the bar indicates that you need to go to the red temple, i.e. the one at the very top.

Temples come in 3 colors: blue, red and yellow. You seize them in the traditional way, i.e. by standing near it. After you have activated a temple, you wake up the miniboss that can really get on your nerves. Especially at the beginning of the game. Therefore, it is a good idea to get some help to prevent the opponent from thwarting your plans. Each one of the summoned guardians of the temple will try to throw your character out of the center of the temple, which makes you lose control of the temple so, try to keep close to the middle of the circle. As soon as you seize a temple, it immediately starts shooting laser beams, at enemy buildings. It uses up ammo, just like any other tower so, after it runs out of ammo, it deactivates and you will have to wait until it activates again.

Under the minimap, information about the temples that you are currently holding, is displayed. In the above screenshot, the blue team controls two out of three temples, whereas one of them is inactive. It is important to keep control of these strategic points is important, because it considerably speeds up the process of destroying enemy developments so, it is a good idea to put up some fight for them.

Neutral creatures

Siege mercenaries

These two sturdy statues can pack quite a punch. They attack at a range, with boulders so, they are perfect for destroying enemy buildings, while staying outside of the tower range.

Mighty mercenaries

Similarly to knights on the other maps, these muscle-bound mercenaries attack at shot range so, they push the enemy lines back and they chop everything in their way. They are very tough so, you may need help from your allies to obliterate them.

Boss

In the very center of the map, you can also encounter the Boss. He bears a slight resemblance to a scarab after it has been upgraded. Also, he is a demanding opponent. Defeating him will surely allow your party to get the enemy back into a defensive game.
