1) Spyro
A legendary hero who's been battling the forces of evil for over two decades, how could everyone's favourite purple dragon not make our top 10?
Skylanders Battlecast
2) Snapshot
Hailing from the mystic Swamplands, this scaly beast is a force to be reckoned with. With the ability to shoot enemies from afar for ultimate damage, watch out for this giant croc!
3) Food Fight
We love that Food Fight battles with the veggies we hate to eat (tomatoes = no thanks!). He's a great support character to have and can heal the rest of your team when they need it most, making him super useful in a scrap.
4) Tree Rex
Tree Rex is basically a walking, talking tank. Towering over most other characters, this giant fern can absorb more damage than most characters, making him the perfect card to swap in when you're facing an enemy with strong attacks. Swap him into the frontline to defend your pack.
5) Spitfire
Blink and you might miss this one - Spitfire is up there amongst the fastest characters in all of Skylands. He's also pretty handy in Battlecast, able to dish out surprisingly strong attacks for such a nimble character. Pull out Spitfire when you want to stun your opponent with a huge offensive move they won't see coming.
6) Back To Your Roots (spell)
Remember how the mighty Tree Rex can absorb mountains of damage? Well, he also has one hell of a party trick - play this spell card and it will automatically restore all of his lost health. ALL of it. Try not to laugh as you picture your opponent's face when they realise that all their efforts to take out Tree Rex have been for nothing. *evil laugh*
7) Beam Barrage (Spell)
We love to keep our enemies on their toes, and Beam Barrage is a great way to do this. This card allows you to randomly slice your enemies for 110 damage - the ultimate sneaky spell card to pull out of your deck!
8) Showdown (Spell)
One of the most powerful spells in the game, Showdown allows you to KO each of your opponent's side-line characters! You will also then set each active character to rank 3, weakining them considerable and making them a much smaller threat. We know, pretty cool right?
9) XL500 Scope (Gear)
Make sure you're ahead of all your friends with this booster damage gear card. Gear Cards apply effects to your Skylander on the frontline and XL500 Scope allows players to deal 40 extra damage points on top of any regular attacks, hitting one of your side-line enemies. Ouch!
10) Vampiric Vial (Relic)
Relics are powerful cards that have instant impact when played. We love that Vampiric Vial immediately drains 20 max health from the active enemy at the start of your turn, putting them on the back-foot straight away and making them more susceptible to your attacks.
