Different Skylander characters consist of different elemental powers required for the activation of the different towers in the stage. It’s important to have a good range of characters in order to complete these stages.

The first three waves of Kaos Doom works as a tutorial for the player where they must focus on defeating enemies and defending the tower. Elemental specific Skylanders are not required for this stage. Enemies here consist of the Grinnade, Cuckoo Clocker, and the Plant Warrior.

Wave 4-10 (Enfuego Rain):

Wave 11-20 (Horrible Something):

This stage consist of a variety of different traps as well as perks that will work both to the enemy’s and the player’s own advantage.

These enemies in the stage consist of the Eggsecutioner,  Bomb Shell, Troll Warrior,  Cuckoo Clocker, and the Grinnade.

 Wave 21-30 (Worst Nightmare Marsh):

 Enemies in this stage mostly traverse in large groups in order to weigh down the player. But as these enemies move slow attacking from far should be enough from the player, to defeat them before they reach the towers. The towers in this stage also play a crucial role in the player’s own chance of survival, they should be center of attention due to their importance towards the player. These enemies are made up of The Eye Five, Pain Yatta, Tussle Sprout, Pirate Henchmen, Shield Shredder, and the Oogler.

Wave 31-40 (Twice Doomed Marsh):

Coupled by fast moving weaker enemies that will target your towers directly before attacking the player. There are also more traps introduced in this stage but are easily avoidable by the player. Enemies here consist of the Pirate Henchmen, Oogler, Brawl and Chain, Pain Yatta, and the Eye Five.

Wave 41-50 (Itchy Lillies Marsh):

Powerful attacks must be kept in reserve for disposing of foes as they move in groups. These enemy types are the Tussle Sprout, Elvilkin Cannon, Pirate Henchmen, Oogler, Brawl and Chain, Pain Yatta, and the Eye Five.

Wave 51-65 (Kaos Fury Docks):

These next segments of wave introduce a new set of enemies that are more powerful than the previous. These enemies are spawned from a new game mechanic whereby a pressurised meter coming from a machine, continuously rises throughout the stage and it’s up to the player to activate the switch in order to decrease it’s pressure. These machines are known as the Kaos Fury. Enemy types are divided between the Shield Skeleton, Grave Clobber, Scrap Shooter, Grinnade, Cross Crow, Cuckoo Clocker, and the Krankenstein.

Wave 66-80 (Twisted Twister Docks:

The enemy types here will be the Shield Skeleton, Grave Clobber, Scrap Shooter, Grinnade, Cross Crow, Cuckoo Clocker, Krankenstein, and the Pain Yatta.

 Wave 81-100 (Finally Final Docks):

Skystone Smash:

During Chapter 5 of the main game mode players will be introduced to a new game inside Skylands that plays out as a card battle. Skystones are required to play this game and are acquired by defeating certain enemies during the beginning of each level. These enemies are pictured during the level’s loading screen. As each each Skystone has a certain amount of Attack power it is important to use them effectively.

Keeping high powered Skystones in reserve for more powerful enemies will prove to be more beneficial than wasting their power on weaker ones. It’s also more effective to take out the more powerful enemies ahead of time before moving on to weaker enemies. There are also Special ability Skystones that can be activated during the first go in which it is played. After this it will be treated as a regular card. Below are the Special ability Skystones.

Lightning -This ability requires the Dreamcatcher Skystone and it damages the player directly.

Fireball -This ability requires the Chef Pepper Jack or the Wolfgang Skystone. It damages every Skystone that’s currently being played.

Sheepify -This ability transforms on the player’s Skystones in to a sheep with low level health, and it targets which ever Skystone is placed directly from across the player.
