LEGO Legend of Chima: Laval’s Journey contains more than sixty unique characters that you can unlock in the game. They are divided into nine different tribes, and each tribe has its own unique abilities. In addition, some characters have special abilities that are all their own.
The first few characters are unlocked by playing through Story mode. Each new character gives you new abilities that are necessary to continue.
In addition to the characters you unlock as you play, you can also find character tokens in both Story and Free Play modes. Collect these tokens and then save up your studs so you can purchase more characters.
Character Abilities
Most characters possess at least one ability that adds to their value. Here’s a quick rundown of the different abilities a character might possess.

Dazzle: Dom de la Woosh is a celebrity in Chima, famed in the Speedorz arena for his flair and style. Hold the Ability button and Dom will perform a series of flashy poses that will stun and amaze anyone on screen. Enemies will be so starstruck, cheering and swooning, that they will temporarily be distracted and open to attack.
