- “Reroutes power from the shields to attack.”
- —Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure flavor text
Arkeyan Defenders are Arkeyan enemies first encountered in the Quicksilver Vault in Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure. They are protected by a charged field that shields them from damage. To attack, they reroute the energy from their shields into their pikes, slamming the ground in front of them to create a shockwave. When they strike with their weapons, their shields temporarily drop, leaving them vulnerable to attacks.
