Skylanders Giants Jade Flashwing Review

Customer Ratings:

It functions as it's suppose to but it's a very unique colour design. It was a Father's Day gift for my husband and my 7 yr old son keeps trying to swap, trade, earn it from my husband by doing chores as he wants it so badly for his collection of Skylanders!

Best Deals for Skylanders Giants Jade Flashwing

NOTE: I posted this same review on the normal Flashwing figure, because the Giants re-colors are the same as the normal versions.

The people behind Skylanders sure have come up with an interesting variety of dragons, and Flashwing is a great addition to the mix! An Earth Skylander, her body is composed of gems and crystals, and her attacks incorporate not only that, but the ability to reflect and use light. "Condensed light" even eventually increases her armor. I was worried, being a gem dragon that she'd be all girlied up, but I was luckily mistaken!

Speed: Slow

Flashwing moves at a steady but slow gallop. She's a handy Skylander though, so don't be put off by that. A well chosen hat will fix that problem.

Primary Attack:

As can be expected from a gem dragon, Flashwing's primary attack is firing crystal shards from her tail. It starts out slow, but is sped up considerably after being upgraded. Holding in the primary attack button for a few seconds (after being upgraded of course) allows her to fire a laser beam from her wing tips. If you choose the Super Shards upgrade path, the crystals can embed in walls and shoot off more Crystals, as well as heal Flashwing if she stands close to them.

Secondary Attack:

This one, the Shimmering Spin, I actually find myself using more than the primary. Flashwing gets up on the tips of her toes and spins quickly, crashing through everything in her path. This, like the crystals, needs to be upgraded to be the most effective, but it still very much gets the job done, especially when you get surrounded by enemies or use her in the Battle Arena. If you chose the Super Spinner upgrade path, the Shimmering Spin will gain the ability to last longer, deflect enemies shots, and shoot out lasers if attack one is pressed.

Tertiary Attack:

In Flashwing's basic upgrades, she can also fire crystal shards in all directions except, unfortunately, forward. While it is effective if surrounded by Chompies, I personally don't find it all that helpful in the harder levels. When you are surrounded by Mace Majors or something of the sort, it just doesn't deal enough damage or fire fast enough to take them out efficiently. I also tend to single out my enemies, so while this may be a good attack for somebody else, it doesn't do much good for me.

Soul Gem Ability:

This is definitely one of the best Soul Gem powers, counting the ones from the original game! Crystal Lighthouse causes a large crystal to spring up from the ground and create spinning beams of light that deal constant damage to enemies so long as the attack button is held in. This does unfortunately leave Flashwing vulnerable to the tougher enemies, but it can start hurting them from a distance so that by the time they get close enough to do any real damage, they're just about dead.

Overall:

To me, she definitely gets a 9/10. She's definitely a good addition to anyone's collection of Skylanders.
