| Frontiers | Vengeance |
Captain Blackthorne is the fifth and final boss of the Pirate Kings DLC in Kingdom Rush: Vengeance, found in Treasure Island. Originally a hero in Kingdom Rush: Frontiers, he rescues the other Pirate Kings from Vez'nan's imprisonment and leads them to battle against the Dark Army.
Overview[]
Legendary captain, fearsome and fearless. His knowledge of piracy tactics makes him a force to be reckoned with.
Blackthorne stands on top of his ship, occasionally taunting the player. Throughout the whole stage (even after entering the battlefield), whenever the player has 350+ gold, Blackthorne can send his trusty parrot to steal up to 150 gold. During waves 5 and 12, he sends his fellow Pirate Kings into combat.
Once the final wave starts, his parrot will carry and drop him on the battlefield. He can summon pools with Kraken's tentacles that wrap around 3 of the towers closest to him. One of these pools completely destroys the tower, while the other two only temporarily disable them. Every so often, the pirate captain will grab onto his parrot and fly a short distance forward, completely ignoring all the ground units in his way.
