Smasher Shrine at Sky Fortress
Sensei Shrines are spherical relics protected by enchanted weapons in Skylanders: Imaginators that only Senseis can open to obtain their Sky-Chi and their Imaginator weapon equivalents, hence their name. These Shrines are also aligned with the Battle Classes and have different appearances matching the needed weapon, and thus each Sensei from every class can open the ones aligned with their class. Additionally, a cutscene is played whenever the Sensei is about to open one.
Every Shrine is decorated with Skylands Runes around the sphere and the weapons, and held up by a strange magical field coming from a device below it.

Sensei Shrine Cutscenes[]
Brawler Shrine - Cradle of Creation[]

When the second fist attacks, Air Strike deflects it with an air kick before landing on Birdie and striking the Shrine together.
- Grave Clobber - Though the Shrine tries to challenge him to a fight, the rock mummy is busy observing a blue, glowing beetle.

Trivia[]
- Though some Shrines won't react such as the Smasher Shrine or just taunt the Sensei like Tidepool, others will use their weapons when threatened by the Senseis.
- The Shrines must be activated up close, however, several cutscenes show the Senseis still walking up to it.
- The cinematics for King Pen and Crash Bandicoot's Sensei Shrine cutscenes look extremely similar.
- The Dark Edition Senseis retain their black and silver color palette during their shrine cutscenes, while all other Alt Decos simply play the cutscenes of their standard counterparts.
- The song that plays at each Shrine corresponds to the song that plays during the Imaginator Battle Class intros, with the exceptions of the villains and a few other Senseis.
- Though Swashbucklers use two swords, reflected on its Shrine, and Knights only use one, the Knight Shrine has four swords. Even more oddly, the Knight Shrine uses cutlasses, which are in the symbol for Swashbucklers, and the Swashbuckler Shrine uses gladiuses, which in turn is the symbol for Knights.
- Kaos is the only Sensei who doesn't have a Sensei Shrine.
