Blizzard shares a few interesting tips with those who want to master the Sky Temple battleground that's just been added to Heroes of the Storm, advising players to choose heroes that can handle mercenary camps and those that have high mobility.

Heroes of the Storm is Blizzard's own multiplayer online battle arena experience, competing with the likes of Dota 2 or League of Legends, while offering quite a few new things, such as more varied maps and an emphasis on combat.

The game entered a closed beta stage last week and received a lot of new things in celebration of the milestone, including a new battleground called Sky Temple.

Here are some tips straight from Blizzard

After detailing the map and exemplifying its balanced nature, Blizzard now shares on its website a few tips with those who want to master the experience and become victorious.

First up, the studio advises players to pick heroes that can deal with mercenary camps or the temple guardians in an easier manner, meaning Zagara or Gazlowe. Of course, high mobility is also important, as players must move quickly on the battlefield in order to secure temples.

"Putting stock in heroes with mobility to help claim Temples can be quite a strong strategy as well. A Brightwing and Falstad combo can be very helpful to teammates trying to grab Temples across the Battleground," the studio says.

Last but not least, Blizzard made sure to put in plenty of tight corridors and spaces on the Sky Temple map, so heroes with area of effect abilities or talents are a great choice to become victorious in the close quarters battles.

"There are a lot of tight corridors that make abilities with area of effect potential very powerful. Consider picking up Nazeebo’s Ravenous Spirit or Nova’s Precision Strike for maximum effect," the studio adds.

Of course, a good team composition and great communication are also important in Heroes of the Storm, just like in most multiplayer games, so don't forget to work as a unit.

In case you haven't been invited into the closed beta, don't forget that we're running a giveaway for 100 keys right here.
