Game 1, Chapter 31: Ride the Lightning!

Skylander: Zap
Upgrade path: Tesla Dragon

S1

    Zap is another skylander that I don't hear many people talk about. The only time that he got lots of recognition was when his Wow Pow (a second soul gem, if you will) in Giants was dedicated to one of his biggest fans, Riley Van Zyl, who died from a rare form of cancer shortly before the release of Giants. When compared to other skylanders of the water element, Zap isn't the best, but I still enjoyed him. His lightning breath is good for long range and the shots can even bounce off of walls. His sea slime slide is great for moving quickly while enemies will get slowed down by the slime and the slime can then be electrified to do damage. What irks me about him, though, is his wave move. It does good enough damage, but you can't steer it and it can even leave him open for attacks. With all of that said, I can see why he was Riley's favorite skylander. Zap may not be the best skylander out there, but a 4/5 is certainly deserved.
