The Black Corsair is a level-specific hero, available only in Storm Atoll (level 17). He can only travel on water and deals splash damage like artillery, thus deals no damage to Bloodshells.
Skills[]
- This is his basic attack. The Black Corsair throws an explosive keg that deals 80-100 area damage.
- Throws a naval mine that floats on water. Any enemy touching a naval mine takes 280 damage. Deviltides hopping from sharks to land might vault over the mines. Each one lasts for 30 seconds or until detonated. (Cooldown: 6 seconds)
Tips and Tricks[]
- His attacks are not affected by the Shock and Awe upgrade.
- He is not targetable by enemies, which makes his high armor useless.
Quotes[]
- "All aboard!"
- "Batten t' hatches!"
- "Full sail ahead!"
Trivia[]
- Oddly, the Black Corsair says "Full sail ahead", even though his boat appears to be steam-powered.
- The way The Black Corsair held his sword when sailing his ship is a reference to how Blackbeard sailed his ship in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
- The Black Corsair is based on a novel of the same name by Emilio Salgari. It tells the tale of the pirate Emilio Roccanera in the Caribbean on a quest to avenge his brothers.
- In the level description, a group is mentioned called the "Corsair Brotherhood" that helped to vanquish the Deep Devils in the past, along with Linirean Royal Fleet. The Black Corsair might be related to the group in some way.

Black Corsair is the first boss of the Pirate Kings DLC in Kingdom Rush: Vengeance, first encountered in Corsairs Brotherhood and returning in Treasure Island. Originally a secondary hero in Kingdom Rush: Frontiers, he rallies his crew of pirates to fight against Vez'nan.
Overview[]
The fury of Storm Atoll. Black Corsair delivers a frightening sword attack at close quarters. If things get hairy, his crewmates have his back ready to strike at a shout's notice.
The Black Corsair spends the majority of his debut stage on his ship, occasionally delivering multiple devastating cannonball strikes that target and deal heavy damage to units. Once the player reaches the final wave, Black Corsair enters the battlefield himself. He is then able to call for a singular, much more concentrated cannon strike directly ahead of him.
In Treasure Island, Black Corsair joins the other Pirate Kings during their last stand. Once again, he is the first to enter the battle, as soon as at the beginning of wave 5. However, without his ship, he doesn't have access to his cannon strike ability, having to rely only on his blade.
