“You know what they say: if you can't win, cheat!”
—Spellslamzer
Spellslamzer is a large Spell Punk, referred to as the "ultimate" Spell Punk[1], who first appeared in Skylanders: SuperChargers. Originally the champion of BattleBrawl Island who promised to grant one wish to whoever could defeat him in the ring, he lost to the Skylanders in a battle for information about the Spell Punk Library. Spellslamzer later serves as the main antagonist of the Secret Agent Secrets story arc, where he is referred to as a warlord.
Spellslamzer is a devious Spell Punk, willing to use trickery to gain the advantage in battle. In Secret Agent Secrets, he demonstrates his ruthless disregard for the lives of innocents by ordering Voodood to execute a Mabu miner who accidentally broke one of his radiance crystals, a key to his goal of world domination.
Abilities
As a powerful sorcerer, Spellslamzer possesses many magical abilities, including levitation, teleportation, and the creation of portals. He can fire spheres of energy out of his hands, blast a beam of energy from his hood, and summon a variety of other Spell Punks to his aid. In a cutscene, he is also shown to be able to project images, casting glowing runic symbols onto Hugo's book. Most notably, Spellslamzer can create alternate dimensions, such as his mountainous nightmare realm, where the Skylanders are "completely under his power".
Story
Skylanders: SuperChargers
Spellslamzer was the crowned champion of the battle arena on BattleBrawl Island, often using trickery to win his battles. When the Skylanders sought him out for navigation around the Spell Punk Library, they had to defeat him in the ring in order for him to share the necessary information. During their battle, Spellslamzer cheated by briefly teleporting the Skylanders into his nightmare realm, although he brought them back to BattleBrawl Island after further combat. The Skylanders eventually defeated Spellslamzer, and true to his word, he told them how to navigate through the Spell Punk Library before disappearing.
Players can race as Spellslamzer in his Rune Slider vehicle after defeating him in the Mystical Vault Boss Pursuit.
Secret Agent Secrets
Spellslamzer with the corrupted Ghost Roaster, Boomer and Voodood
Spellslamzer and his group of Spell Punks and Dark Drow were responsible for the disappearance of Buzz's elite team of Skylanders, Boomer, Voodood and Ghost Roaster. When SuperChargers, Spitfire, Stormblade and Nightfall, were sent to find their lost comrades, they were promptly defeated by the Elite Skylanders who now work for Spellslamzer. With the defeated SuperChargers in tow, Spellslamzer and his group returned to their hideout, the Spellhold, where he announced to his army their plan to raid the Mabu Radiance mines of their rare and powerful minerals, therefore controlling the crystal supply to become the supreme power in all of Skylands. In addition, he and his minions would ride out in the SuperChargers' own vehicles at dawn. When Spitfire, Nightfall and Stormblade attempted to escape, Spellslamzer had them strapped to the front of their vehicles as the villains and the corrupt Elite Skylanders rode out towards the mines to begin their attack.
Once at the Radiance Mines, Spellslamzer and his army began forcing the Mabu miners to gather the radiance crystals, proclaiming that every crystal was worth more than the lives of the Mabu. Voodood and Boomer suddenly turned against Spellslamzer, revealing that the three Elites pretended to be evil from the start just to infiltrate his operations. However Ghost Roaster remained on Spellslamzer's side, catching Boomer and Voodood by surprise. Before Spellslamzer could punish them for their treachery, Spitfire, Stormblade and Nightfall arrived on the scene, having been freed by Softpaw (who was pretending to be one of Spellslamzer's minions). An all-out brawl broke out between Spellslamzer's army, including Ghost Roaster, and the Skylanders. When Stormblade refused to fight Ghost Roaster after reminding him of being a hero, Spellslamzer ordered the ghoul to finish her off. Instead, the Spell Punk was blasted away and rendered unconscious when Ghost Roaster threw his explosive ball-and-chain at the Radiance crystals the Spell Punk was floating over.
Battle Strategy
During their battle, Spellslamzer will attack the player with a selection of attacks. He can launch off bombs from his wrists, fire a series of energy spheres from his hands, and a large energy beam from his face. After losing around one-thirds of his health, he will split up into multiple Spell Punks, both of which function similarly to how they were as enemies but share Spellslamzer's health. After depleting his health to half, Spellslamzer will reappear and directly attack the player again. After losing another third of his health, he will teleport the Skylander into his nightmare realm away from onlookers, where the battle remains the same except there are now two waves of Spell Punks that must be defeated until he brings them back to BattleBrawl Island. The player now must deal with three waves of Spell Punks after dealing enough damage on Spellslamzer.
In Secret Agent Secrets, for a single frame his mouth can be seen, resembling the ones from Toys for Bob's Spell Punk designs - white and with sharp fangs.
He somewhat resembles Ghostfreak and Zs'Skayr from Ben 10, and the Garo from The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask.
Despite Spellslamzer being defeated and chained up in the arena by the Skylanders, a copy of Spellslamzer can be seen in the audience when Baron von Shellshock walks off-screen.
Though his Skystone and the color of his clothing indicate Spellslamzer is a Light Spell Punk, his attacks and effects match the Magic element.
He has large claws and a more defined face like the Spell Punk Librarian; however, his eyes are still featureless, and the bottom of his robes emanates purple mist rather than black.
