Game 4, Chapter 4: Darkness Falls!

Skylander: Blackout

Upgrade path: Prince of Darkness

    Trap Team introduced two new elements into the series (light and dark), each with a trap master and a core. In terms of the new dark skylanders, while Knight Mare doesn't get much praise, Blackout is undeniably a fan favorite. I'm a fan of both skylanders, but I can definitely say that I love Blackout. His wing whip is decently powerful, but is even better when combined with other moves. His shadow orbs are decent projectiles, but on impact, they create areas of damage that make defeating enemies much easier. I found his black holes to be pretty useful for immobilizing enemies and shooting the shadow orbs into them creates a powerful explosion. Overall, the dark element had a great start with Blackout, and I'd be more than happy to give him a 5/5.
