Game 3, Chapter 8: A Blaze of Glory!

Skylander: Smolderdash

Upgrade path: Sun Forged

    Smolderdash is one of the more popular cores in the Swap Force lineup and it is very easy to see why. Her flame whip is very effective, being both fast and powerful at the same time. Her solar orb does decent damage, but detonating it send enemies flying into the air and stuns them for a bit, leaving them open to attacks from the whip. Also, hitting it with the whip instead of detonating it creates a damaging aura that works very well as extra damage. Her eclipse mode is great for making her attack even better, increasing the power of her whip and turning her solar orb into a black hole. She's powerful either way, but her eclipse mode does have one thing that makes it even better than her normal mode: a powerful and speedy dash attack. As one of the best skylanders from Swap Force, of course Smolderdash gets a 5/5.
