For each of the past two Skylanders games, there has been a special Dark Edition version of the game containing Dark variants of the starter pack characters. Well this year, because there are three different normal versions of the game, there will be three SuperChargers Dark Editions of the game. Both the Wii U and the Wii will be getting their own dark edition because they each come with a different special Nintendo character.
Brawlrus is a Tech trappable villain that you will be able to capture in the sixth level – Rainfish Riviera of Skylanders Trap Team. Everyone knows that Brawl + Walrus = Brawlrus. But, did you know that Brawlrus doesn’t have any melee or “brawling” attacks? He does however, harness the awesome power of the starfish. He fires a cannon full of damage causing starfish. This damage can be increased by finding his quest shortly after you capture him in Rainfish Riviera.
Tuff Luck is a new LifeTrap Master making her debut in Trap Team. Tuff Luck always had incredibly good luck. Some believed it came from her years of guarding Fortunata Springs which was the source of all good luck in Skylands. Fortunata Springs was located in the Random Canyons, which move without warning to cover the hidden entrance to the springs. Despite this, Kaos’s minions found the entrance and flew in sponge-tankers to soak up every drop of the lucky liquid. Luckily Tuff Luck was patrolling the area and saw the minions trying to steal the water. With her awesome skills and unbeatable good luck, she drove away the minions and saved the springs. She then drank from the springs as was custom for her tribe. That’s when she realized she had a greater calling. She decided to leave her tribe to join the Trap Team where she could help protect all of Skylands.
Cuckoo Clocker is a Life trappable villain that you will be able to capture in the fourth level – Phoenix Psanctuary of Skylanders Trap Team. Many fear this big brutish bird because of his powerful roar and even more powerful smash attack. He is cuckoo for clobbering! But did you know Cuckoo Clocker can sing? Well, he seems to think he can. Once you find his quest in Phoenix Psanctuary you will be able to judge for yourself.
Tussle Sprout is an Earth trappable villain that you will be able to capture on the second level – Know-It-All-Island of Skylanders Trap Team. Because he is green and technically a vegetable, you might think that he is a Life element villain. However, since he grows out of the ground he is actually an Earth element villain. He looks like a Brussels sprout, but he’s even more dangerous than a Brussels sprout. He’s also harder to eat since he releases both poison gas and poison spores.
It looks like King Cobra Cadabra will be a GameStop Exclusive. In fact he should be available this Saturday, June 27th during GameStop’s next Skylanders Day. If you have been waiting for a sale, now is the time. GameStop will be offering a Buy One Get One Free on all Trap Masters, core Skylanders, and even Eon’s Elite. You can also get a free Water Trap with purchase of any other trap. They will also have a Steampunk Shrednaught Tech Trap exclusive to GameStop. You can get that trap free when you pre-order Skylanders SuperChargers. Trap Team Starter packs will be half off at $29.99, and with purchase you will get a free Giants Triple Pack, and a Punch Pop Fizz character. You can view the entire ad on the GameStop website here:
Buzzer Beak is an Air trappable villain that you will be able to capture on the second level – Know-It-All-Island of Skylanders Trap Team. Buzzer beak may be small, but what he lacks in size, he more than makes up for in courage, helicopter blade, and a good dive bomb attack. In fact, once evolved, his Dive Bomb attack is extremely powerful. If you haven’t given Buzzer Beak much attention, you may want to give him a look and see what the buzz is all about.
E3 2015 saw the announcement of some new Skylanders heading into the new SuperChargers game. Turbo Charge Donkey Kong and Hammer Slam Bowser were the two big surprises. But they also showed a new cool looking undead SuperCharger in Fiesta and another returning favorite in Deep Dive Gill Grunt. Check out this SuperChargers interview and demo that Activision did at E3.
Broccoli Guy is a Life trappable villain that you will be able to capture in the third level – Chompy Mountain of Skylanders Trap Team. He is a good villain to have stored in a trap because he heals his friends and hurts his enemies. Even though Broccoli Guy is a Life element villain, he uses his powerful magic for both attacking and healing. His healing power alone is worth keeping him close by, but you may also want to use him just to hear some of his wit and personality. He can be evolved once you find his quest on the fifth level – The Phoenix Psanctuary.
Slobber Trap is a Water trappable villain that you will be able to capture in the second level – Know-It-All-Island. Slobber Trap looks a lot like Slobber Tooth and perhaps is a distant cousin. He’s a just your average plant monster dog, but his belly flops and slobber can be lethal. He’s not too old for new tricks though. Once captured he can be re-trained to fight for good. Find his quest on the same level you capture him on and you’ll unlock the full power of Slobber Trap.
