BattleClasses

Battle Classes are weapon wielding classifications in Skylanders: Imaginators. Applying to Senseis, Imaginators and enemy Doomlanders. They denote the character's weapon class and, for Imaginators, three out of four abilities - their primary Weapon Attacks, their tertiary Secret Techniques, and their Soul Gems, found in the story levels like all others. Their secondary Elemental Attacks can be found under the pages about the different Elements.

Note: Once you have chosen an Imaginator's Battle Class, the Creation Crystal is permanently locked to the selected class. While unintended, it can be reset in 3DS games made before Swap Force and the Wii/PS3/Wii U version of Giants

Many classes are based in real-life weapons with a fantasy twist, and common RPG classes as seen by the names of some in early versions.

Battle Classes define the Secret Techniques, which are tertiary button powers that Imaginators can learn from Senseis and defeating Kaos' Doomlanders, that vary in use and power. There are four secret techniques per Battle Class to learn. Two are earned by leveling up, one is unlocked by adding any of the corresponding Senseis, and one is rewarded upon defeating the corresponding Doomlander.

Kaos

Kaos symbol

Kaos' Sensei clone is a master of all ten Battle Classes, and has a unique Battle Class symbol matching that of the Kaos Element. He can summon mind projections of weapons from the other classes, both close- and long-ranged, as well as Doomlanders, Doom Sharks and Doom Hands. No other Senseis are in this class, and Imaginators cannot be assigned to it either.

Trivia

  • The Wave Fist Secret Technique is a reference to the common video game ability known as Hadouken, from the Japanese word for "Surge Fist" or "Wave Motion Fist". Most known from Street Fighter, the character fires a blast of energy (usually ki) from their fists when they do a certain motion.
  • Most, if not all classes, have animations or attacks based on existing Skylanders:
    • Swashbucklers share style and appearance with Ninjini, also lacking normal legs like her and hovering slightly above the ground.
    • Sorcerers also float slightly above the ground, have a smaller maximum lower half height than most classes, and as one of the possible basic attacks, use a continuous beam of magic energy, all like Double Trouble.
    • Knights have the similar animations and the same basic sword as Chop Chop.
    • Quickshots in early versions of the game had the same body type as Ninjas, resembling Trigger Happy.
    • Ninjas, on the other hand, because of their small bodies and the way they throw their stars, resemble Lob-Star.
    • The usage of knuckles and the punching techniques of Brawlers resemble Terrafin's abilities.
    • From animations to some of their shooting techniques, Bowslingers appear to be inspired by Flameslinger.
  • Only Sorcerers have unique names for Secret Technique upgrades, and only Bowslingers have unique names for Primary attack upgrades. All others simply add "Mastered" or "Master" to the original ability.
    • None of the Elemental attack upgrades have unique names either.
    • Earlier footage shows that all upgrades were planned to have unique names at some point. For example, the Boxer Upgrade was called "Title Fighter" in press demos.
  • Knights are the only Battle Class that can drain their own health with one of their abilities.
  • Quickshots and Bowslingers share the same amount of health.
  • The Quickshot Secret Technique "Death Blossom" shares a name with the Ultimate Ability of the Overwatch hero Reaper.
  • The Brawler Secret Technique "Megaton Punch" shares a name with a minigame in Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra.
  • The Sentinel Secret Techniques "Top Spin" and "Grand Slam" are named after terms in sports (tennis and baseball, respectively).
