Skylanders Spyro's Adventure Stump Smash Review

Customer Ratings:

Stump Smash is a tree (or an ent, if you will) with two giant tree stumps as hands, in which he puts to good use for smashing enemies. His basic attack just alternate smashes with his hands, but does quite a bit of damage. His second attack spews out rolling acorns (that can bounce off walls) which does low damage but can slow down any enemy it hits, which is useful since Stump Smash isn't the fastest Skylanders. Stump Smash also seems to have the highest amount of health compared to any other Skylanders, thus, making him great for players who aren't as careful and just likes to run in and destroy things.

And for those who are wondering about his element: it's life. This means that he covers an element that is NOT a part of the starter pack (which only has Tech (Trigger Happy), Magic (Spyro), and Water (Gill Grunt)).

Stump Smash is a Life-type Skylander. His initial attacks are his stumpfist combo (time it just right to get a REALLY painful third hit, which deals double the normal smashes), and he can spit out spinning acorns, which, though deal low damage, compensate by slowing enemies down. This ability comes in handy since Stump Smash isn't the fastest Skylander, off the bat.

One downside, however, to his attacks side is because he's actually pretty big, his stumpfists actually have a TEENY tiny bit of reach, which makes him vulnerable is an enemy is right in his face. This can be resolved when you upgrade him with a Meganut attack (you can make Stump Smash roll this big, spiky nut-thing, acting like an attack ball).

Now, onto his speed, even THAT can be fixed if you choose the Smash-N-Bash path, and give him Stumpfist Combos (His Stumpfist Charge makes him much faster, and it's a deadly combo to begin with).

I wish I could give him 4 1/2 stars, because he's not good enough for all five, but he's not bad plain enough for four. Play him right, and you'll have a high-HP, bashing, smashing tank!

Best Deals for Skylanders Spyro's Adventure Stump Smash

Every seller here is price gouging you. Your better off waiting until the initial popularity dies down and buying them for the original $7.97 price at wal-mart and various other places like Best buy or Target. Even Toys R' Us is only $9.99 every one of these retailers are rip off artists looking to steal your money. Even Drill Sergeant and Whirlwind are going to be released at the end of this month as part of a 3 pack in the states so they are no longer exclusive. So don't pay these prices. Boycott Amazon's price gouging and just be patient.

Well, Stump Smash is my children's favorite character. We bought him after christmas for 7.97 at Wal-Mart. He is a tough old tree for certain. His smash attacks and acorn shot is pretty impressive and his hammers even grow when upgraded. A bit slow for my taste but very very powerful. A must have in my opinion.

Honest reviews on Skylanders Spyro's Adventure Stump Smash

This is the only life element that can go on water. You need the soul gem to do it and the soul gem is in Paralis Pastures. Use your Trigger Happy to go through the tech gate and get the soul gem. Stump Smash is a good skylander to have if you like skylanders for attack power. The only problemis he is a bit slow but his attack makes up for it. I recommend this character to anybody who likes and has Skylanders.

Stump Smash is a great addition to your Skylander crew only because 1. they havent released other life figures other than Stealth Elf who is hard to find and 2. you need a life element to access more than you would think. He is pretty slow when it comes to walking around but he makes up for it with his strength and upgrades.
