Life

Life is one of the ten main elements in the Skylanders series. It is associated with the color green.

History

There is no avoiding the Life Element. It is the Element that ensures Skylands maintans its natural balance. From the tiniest seed to the tallest tree, from the smallest grub to the largest land whale, Skylands teems with Life. The Skylanders who harness the Life element are at one with the plants, the trees and the very soil itself. This grants them incredible abilities to use in the fight against Kaos and his minions. It also means that some of them are jolly good at gardening.

Life is there in the deepest depths of the ocean. It survives in the fiery hearts of volcanoes. Even in the most unhospitable of conditions. Life clings on, and this makes it a very powerful Element. The Elements that make up the Core of Light interact with one another in some remarkable ways, and Life is no exception. Without Life, where would we be?

Abilities

Skylanders who are associated with the element of Life use abilities that create other living things of their own, from plants to vines to animated dummies. And they like the color green. A lot. They are powerful against the Water Element, but less capable against the Undead Element.

When opening a Life Gate, the Life Skylander makes a giant vine grow to form a bridge. When in toy form, Life-based Skylanders stand on a pedestal that resembles a pile of leaves.

In Skylanders: Trap Team 's turret challenges, Life Skylanders have the ability Fly Trap, which sucks in enemies to greatly damage them. In Kaos Doom Challenge, they can summon a wood fruit gun, which can be upgraded to have venus flytraps and poisonous fruit.

In Skylanders: SuperChargers, Life-aligned Portal Master Powers include a trail of paralyzing vines, the ability to drain health from enemies and to boost the Elemental Power stat. Those are distributed in several conditions, and the names are as follows:

• Path of Vines
• Renewing Entrance
• Invigorating Strike
• Overgrowth
• Vigorous Desperation

Skylanders: Imaginators

Life Imaginators have an unknown color tinge to their attacks, and can choose four abilities as their secondary attack:

Life Elemental Imaginator Powers The first two of these powers are unlocked at the start of the game, the other two are unlocked by leveling up your Imaginator.

The default color schemes for Life Imaginators include: Sunny Meadows, Emerald Grove, Pine Forest, Poison Ivy, Golden Tea, Verdant Brusk, Spring Salmon. Parts unlocked by Life Imaginite are currently unknown.

Weaknesses

The Undead Element poses a real threat to Life. The dark, creeping shadows of the Undead sap the Life energy from everything they touch, leaving them withered and frail.

Battlecast Spell Cards

This element's spells greatly vary in effect, but are almost entirely support spells. They heal, power up characters, or grant them spells and XP, and never attack directly. Enemies should be wary of Sap of the Ancients, whose luck factor could be a harmless waste of energy, or turn the tide with a powerful Character Spell all in one turn.

The Life team spell is summoning the Vigor of Life, which increases the attack power of the lead character for as many Life characters the team has.
