Blackheart finally gets off his ship, and decides to pillage enemy teams himself. A melee specialist, he needs to pick up some doubloons to buy himself a good and loyal crew. Depending on your playstyle, he can either defend an area or walk down a lane with an army of ghost pirates, smashing everything in his way.
Combat Trait
1
Pirate's Booty
When an enemy is slain near Blackheart, doubloons are dropped according to the type of enemy killed (1 for a minion, 5 for a mercenary, 10 for a champion or 20 for a boss or important structure). He can then pick up these coins (max 100) by walking near them.
This passive can be activated to replace his normal skills with new ones.
Primary Abilities
1
Day of the Tentacle / Plagued Pirate
Blackheart summons a tentacle at the targeted location. This tentacle is a summoned unit which will slap nearby enemy units every second for X damage, and prioritizes. The tentacle can be killed by enemit units.
The tentacle is able to pick up doubloons. Blackheart can collect by doubloons by clicking on the tentacle. When killed, the tentacle drops his doubloons.
While using his trait, Blackheart can spend 5 doubloons to summon a normal pirate. He acts as a less durable Blackheart without spells and with untalented basic attacks.
2
Rotting Bullet / Lunging Looter
Blackheart targets an enemy unit with his pistol, and shoots a sickly green bullet. The bullet inflicts X damage, and inflicts the Rotting debuff for 3 seconds. Rotting enemies are slowed and leave behind a green cloud of decay. Blackheart and his summoned units gain bonus movement speed while walking in the trail.
While using his T, Blackheart can spend 10 doubloons to summon a fast and agile pirate. While weaker than a normal pirate, he is faster and able to jump on rotting enemy units from afar.
3
Sunken Cannon / Croaking Cannoneer
Blackheart summons a cannon from the depths at the targeted point, and points it in a direction (vector targeting). After 0.5 seconds, it fires a cannonball that deals heavy damage to the first enemy unit hit, and stuns enemy structures.
When using his trait, Blackheart can spend 20 doubloons to summon a cannoneer. Every 3 seconds, he shoots a cannonball towards the nearest marked enemy (or a random enemy, if none is marked nearby).
Secondary Abilities
1
Chest of lemons
Blackheart drops a chest of lemons at the targeted location. Allied units can click on the chest to eat a lemon, restoring X health and cleasing themselves of any debuff. The chest holds 3 lemons.
2
Man with the golden gun
Blackheart spends 5 doubloons, increasing his next Rotting Bullet's damage by 100%. Blackheart can re-cast this spell up to 2 times afterwards.
Heroic Abilities
1
Make it rain, boys !
Blackheart calls his ship, targeting a wide horizontal area. After 0.5 seconds, cannonballs start falling randomly in that area for at least 3 seconds, dealing X damage. This spell also consumes Blackheart's doubloons, increasing the duration by 0.5 seconds for every 10 doubloons spent.
2
Putrid Sea
Blackheart calls forth water from the depths, drenching an area in stale water. Enemy units in stale water take X damage per second, and are reanimated as pirates if killed. Structures destroyed become tentacles and enemy heroes killed become a ghoul, an undead version of their former self. Blackheart can order these ghouls to move or attack by casting R2 again.
