Air is an elemental class introduced in the Skylanders series.

History

Air surrounds us constantly. It clings to our lungs when we breathe. It is with us all the time, and yet we can neither see it nor feel it. Unless, of course, it wants us to. The skies above, around and often below, Skylands are infinite, meaning the Air Element may hold a limitless number of secrets that weren't yet aware of. This makes the Air element one of the most mysterious of them all.[1]

Weaknesses

Air is a natural predator of earth, as it would erode the very stone Earth Skylanders would embody. While the Air element is strong when facing the Earth element, it is much less able to deal with Fire. Air Skylanders must be extra careful wehen facing Fire-powered enemies.[1]

Abilities

Skylanders who are associated with the element of Air manipulate the force of wind and storms to their advantage against their foes. They are strong against Earth Skylanders, but are weak against Fire characters in the Battle Arena. The color of this element is light blue. All Air skylanders (except Lightning Rod) have upgrades involving a third ability to fly. One Air Skylander, Whirlwind, is capable of destroying Purple Tzo Crystals with one of her normal attacks but only in Spyro's Adventure as that capability is disabled in Giants.

When opening an Air Gate, the Air skylander uses a small tornado that acts as a teleporter.

Air-based Skylanders stand on a pedestal made of clouds when they're in their toy form. This excludes Lightning Rod, as the cloud pedestal is part of him.

Trivia

  • In Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure, Air-based Skylanders are one of the three elemental characters who do not build a bridge when opening their elemental gates, the others being Water and Fire. Instead, they teleport through a swirling vortex of wind.
  • None of the Air Skylanders have any appearance or spoken role in the trailers and commercials for Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure.
  • In Skylanders: Giants, the music theme from Stormy Stronghold plays in the Air elemental gates.
  • Lightning Rod is currently the only Air Skylander that does not stand on the base, instead the clouds are his lower half.
  • This and the Fire element currently have no sidekicks.
  • All Air Skylanders except Jet-Vac are able to go over water (Lightning Rod however couldn't on the Xbox 360 version of Spyro's Adventure).
