“That amazing feeling of defying gravity! That, my friend, is something only we feel.”
    —Skylanders: Ring of Heroes relationship description

Air is one of the main ten elements in the Skylanders series. The vast and mysterious element combines the others in a number of interesting and unusual ways.[1] Colors associated with the element are cyan, and occasionally white and azure.

History

Air surrounds us constantly. It clings to our lungs when we breathe. It is with us all the time, and yet we can neither see it nor feel it. Unless, of course, it wants us to. The skies above, around and often below, Skylands are infinite, meaning the Air Element may hold a limitless number of secrets that weren't yet aware of. This makes the Air element one of the most mysterious of them all.[2]

When Earth Portal Masters were taken from their homeworld into Skylands, Portal Master Eugenie became the Air specialist.

Weaknesses

Air is a natural predator of earth, as it would erode the very stone Earth Skylanders would embody. While the Air element is strong when facing the Earth element, it is much less able to deal with Fire. Air Skylanders must be extra careful wehen facing Fire-powered enemies.[1]

Abilities

Skylanders of the Air element have balanced fighting styles. Characters in the game who are associated with the element of Air use the manipulation of wind and weather to their advantage against their foes. They have a strong advantage against Skylanders who are associated with the element of Earth in the Battle Arena, but are not very strong against Fire Skylanders.

In Skylanders: Ring of Heroes, Air is weak to Fire and Magic, and strong against Life and Earth.

Air-based Skylanders also stand on a pedestal made of clouds when they are in their toy form.

In the turret challenges in Skylanders: Trap Team, Air Skylanders have the special ability Tornado, which immobilizes enemies. In Kaos Doom Challenge, they can summon a large fan which charges up an electric blast, which can be upgraded to have multiple lightning containers for shots that spread to nearby enemies.

In Skylanders: SuperChargers, Air-aligned Portal Master Powers include a damaging wind aura, an electric pulse and a temporary Speed boost. They occur in many conditions, and the name are as follows:

  • Cyclonic Shield - Air Skylanders get a damaging wind aura in an Air Zone.
  • Stormy Entrance - Air Skylanders shock enemies with an electric pulse when summoned.
  • Tempest Strike - Air Skylander attacks have a chance to shock enemies with an electric pulse.
  • Tailwind - A chance for Air Skylanders hit in an Air Zone to gain a temporary Speed boost.
  • Stormy Desperation - Air Skylanders get a damaging wind aura when their health is low.

Trivia

  • In Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure, Air-based Skylanders are one of the three elemental characters who do not build a bridge when opening their elemental gates, the others being Water and Fire. Instead, they teleport through a swirling vortex of wind.
  • Sonic Boom, Warnado, Thunderbolt and Wild Storm have the Air elemental symbol on their heads.
  • None of the Air Skylanders made an appearance in the trailers and commercials for Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure. However, Jet-Vac appears and speaks in the trailers for Skylanders: Giants, Skylanders: Swap Force and the the first trailer for Skylanders: Trap Team.
  • In every game after Spyro's Adventure, remixes of Stormy Stronghold's theme play in Air elemental zones. However, Skylanders: SuperChargers employs an entirely new theme for its Air Vehicle Challenge, making Air the only such vehicle challenge not to remix music from previous games.
  • In Skylanders: Battlegrounds and some websites, the element is sometimes erroneously referred to as "Wind" instead of "Air", such as the Element of the Day.
  • In the 3DS version of the first two games, every Air Skylander can glide or hover.
  • While some Air Skylanders can fly for a limitless amount of time, only Jet-Vac and Swarm can only fly for a short period of time and then return to the ground. Lightning Rod cannot fly as an attack, though he can still travel over water. Swarm however, can fly infinitely if he goes over water.
    • Jet-Vac is the only Air Skylander in Giants who can't go over water.
  • This element has more quadruped Skylanders than any other element.
    • Before SuperChargers, all the female Skylanders in this element were quadrupeds.
  • This element has the least variants out of the original eight elements.
  • None of the Air or Tech Villain Quests are mini-games.
  • This element has more female Villains (Dreamcatcher and Bad Juju) than any other element.
  • Lightning Rod is so far the only Air Skylander that does not stand on the base, instead the clouds are his lower half.
  • Oddly, most of the Imaginator color schemes are named after icy and oceanic winds, powers relating to Water, possibly referring to wind currents.
  • This and the Fire element are the only elements to have only one Eon's Elite Skylander.
  • This element had the highest amount of Skylanders present in Skylanders: Ring of Heroes, specifically 12.
  • Lightning Rod, Free Ranger, Thunderbolt, Wild Storm and Bad Juju are only the Air element who have electrical powers.
