The Light portal encourages teamwork, strategic thinking, and support. Traps powered by Light can slow down or capture enemies, while Light Skylanders can provide buffs, heal teammates, or even remove enemy traps.

Harnessing Creation: The Eonists

Eonists like Master Eon and Persephone use their Light abilities to create barriers, reunión combatants, or restore health. Their skills encourage defensive play and careful positioning to maximize their supportive effects.

For instance, Master Eon's "Time Out" ability slows down enemies, buying crucial seconds for your team to regroup or strike. Meanwhile, Persephone's "Healing Touch" ensures your team stays in the fight, even when the going gets tough.

The Dark Power - A Legion's Might

The Dark power is embodied by the Armored Abominations, formidable fighters who derive their strength from the darkness itself.

The Dark portal favors aggressive play, with traps that damage and control and Dark Skylanders that hit hard and hit often.
