Zap's Attack Information

Soul Gem Ability

Since there are so few areas with Water in Skylanders Giants (mostly behind Elemental Gates), this is an optional purchase. If you want to complete Zap's upgrades, go for it. Otherwise, save the money for unlockables.

Attack 1: Lightning Breath

Lightning Breath is a lightning burst attack. Without upgrades, it does very low damage. However, keep investing in upgrades for it, and it soon becomes Zap's mainstay attack. It is particularly important to use in combination with Sea Slime Slide.

Attack 2: Sea Slime Slide

When you press Attack 2, Zap slides forward, leaving a trail of slime behind him. This slime does not damage enemies, but it does cause enemies to get stuck. You can electrify this Sea Slime with Zap's Lightning Breath to hurt enemies trapped by the slime. Sea Slime is quick, and it can make Zap almost impossible to hit as long as you keep moving.

Attack 3: Wave Rider

Wave Rider is a tricky power to master. It has a slow build up, but once it releases, you can ride it to safely run through and damage enemies. Wave Rider's damage is moderate, but it can be released to hit enemies at a long range. If you stay on the wave once it has started, you can steer its direction.

Wow Pow Power: For Riley!

This is a great addition to the Wave Rider power. It makes Wave Rider much more effective. When you hit the Attack 3 button, the wave explodes, inflicting solid damage to any enemies nearby.
