Born to a race of tree elves who were protectors of the rich Arcadian Timberland, Bushwack was supposed to be a ranger. But being the smallest of his clan, he was sent deep into the woods by the Chieftain to study with Arbo, known for helping the Skylanders rebuild the Core of Light. The tree spirit looked beyond Bushwhack’s size, and seeing that he had the heart of a warrior, taught him many secrets. Arbo even gifted him with an enchanted axe. So when a legion of Lumberjack Trolls invaded the forest and overpowered the elves, it was Bushwhack who set out to stop them. Drawing out the trolls, he used his enchanted axe and knowledge of the forest to capture them and destroy their tree cutting machines. Afterward, Bushwhack not only was made a ranger, but a Skylander. As part of the Trap Team, he now uses his Traptanium axe to whack evil wherever it grows!

Basic Attack Notes

Traptanium Axe

Can perform a combo by holding the last attack and gets an upgrade leaving a thorny trail that damages enemies.

Mystic Acorn

A long-range attack that stuns and can explode when upgraded with Nut Grenade!

Headbash

A powerful leaping attack that damages anything in the immediate area.

Upgrade Paths

Axe Avenger

All the powers on this path upgrade the Traptanium Axe, and An Axe to Grind is a basic damage boost. However, the most impressive upgrades are from Combo Attacks. Head First is the best choice against really tough enemies that are clustered together. The Spin and Slash combo ends in a spinning assault that can be steered slightly to guide it into more enemies. Go Nuts! further improves the Spin and Slash combo with Mystic Acorns that shoot out in all directions. This combo is the best choice to use when surrounded by a group of enemies.

Armor Awesomeness

Bushwhack can heal himself at a good pace using Bush’s Shack. The healing hut does very little damage, and he is still susceptible to harm, so perform healing in between battles. Primal Warrior further reduces damage and adds more power to Headbash. After increasing damage from the Primal Warrior, Spring Forward becomes even more effective by adding a damaging dash that hurts anything in its path. The Traptanium Axe is still a good weapon for quick attacks, but the dash and heavy damage from Headbash are a pretty obvious choice for dealing a lot of damage even at mid-range.

Soul Gem Ability

Create a giant tree with an in-air slam attack, and when it is cut down, it does devastating damage to whatever the tree lands on. The attack takes a while to launch, but the massive damage and large area of effect is worth the wait!
