Battle Class

Battle Classes are weapon wielding classifications in Skylanders: Imaginators. Applying to Senseis, Imaginators and enemy Doomlanders. They denote the character's weapon class and, for Imaginators, three out of four abilities - their primary Weapon Attacks, their tertiary Secret Techniques, and their Soul Gems, found in the story levels like all others. Their secondary Elemental Attacks can be found under the pages about the different Elements.

Note: Once you have chosen an Imaginator's Battle Class, the Creation Crystal may be permanently locked to the selected class. There are conflicting reports about the ability to reset Creation Crystals.

Many classes are based in real-life weapons with a fantasy twist, and common RPG classes as seen by the names of some in early versions.

Battle Classes define the Secret Techniques, which are tertiary button powers that Imaginators can learn from Senseis and defeating Kaos' Doomlanders, that vary in use and power. There are four secret techniques per Battle Class to learn. Two are earned by leveling up, one is unlocked by adding any of the corresponding Senseis, and one is rewarded upon defeating the corresponding Doomlander.

No other Senseis are in this class, and Imaginators cannot be assigned to it either.

Trivia

• The Wave Fist Secret Technique is a reference to the common videogame ability known as Hadouken, from the Japanese word for "Surge Fist" or "Wave Motion Fist". Most known from Street Fighter, the character fires a blast of energy (usually ki) from their fists when they do a certain motion.
• Most, if not all classes, have animations or attacks based on existing Skylanders:
  • Swashbucklers share style and appearance with Ninjini, also lacking normal legs like her and hovering slightly above the ground.
  • Sorcerers also float slightly above the ground, have a smaller maximum lower half height than most classes, and as one of the possible basic attacks, use a continuous beam of magic energy, all like Double Trouble.
  • Knights have the similar animations and the same basic sword as Chop Chop.
  • Quickshots in early versions of the game had the same body type as Ninjas, resembling Trigger Happy.
