Blastermind was once the “hide and sheep” champion of the Sardonic Mountains, where he and his friends played regularly. But when he was about to set a new Skylands record, the ground collapsed and Blastermind fell into a deep, mysterious cavern filled with shimmering crystals. As his friends circled the hole up top, they suddenly found themselves face to face with a dangerous Ham Dragon, who had felt the rumble of the collapse. Down below, Blastermind felt helpless. But fortunately, the cavern was filled with Psionic Power Crystals once used by the Ancients to amplify their thoughts. When the crystals “heard” Blastermind’s worried thoughts about saving his friends, they found him worthy—and bestowed upon him awesome psionic powers, which he used to get out of the hole and mentally blast the circling Ham Dragon. Soon after, Blastermind joined the Skylanders as part of the Trap Team, using his new Traptanium Psionic Helmet to fight evil everywhere!
Basic Attack Notes
Brainwaves
Has a 360-degree area of effect, and when upgraded, can be held for a continuous effect and area blast.
Levitation
Damages enemies on contact and provides additional damage when slammed to the ground.
Brain Freeze
Slows enemies hit by this attack.
Upgrade Paths
Psychokinetic
Blastermind uses mental powers to damage foes at close range with Brainwaves. Levitation is a great long-range attack and should be used with Brain Freeze to control and manipulate enemies before they close in. This path takes Levitation to a whole new level with three new options. Brain Blowout can get rid of enemies, knocking them out of the immediate area. Remote Control takes a while to charge, but it can turn levitating enemies into a weapon by slamming the captive foe into other enemies. For direct damage, use Mind Mash to repeatedly smash levitated enemies over and over. However, not all enemies can be levitated.
Mentalist
Mind Control and Mind Blown work together to take over enemies and make them your minions. The initial attack takes a while to charge, but Brain Freeze attacks should slow them down and provide a good opportunity. Note that not all foes are susceptible to these mind control attacks. This path is mostly geared towards Brain Freeze boosts, but don’t overlook The More the Merrier which is a significant upgrade to Levitation. This levitating power allows more enemies to be caught in Levitation, both removing them from the battlefield and damaging them in the process.

This ability isn’t focused on damage or defense; instead it is rooted in mental discipline. Using Blastermind’s psychic ability, any Lock Puzzle can be solved instantly. However, these puzzles are an excellent challenge and should be attempted before letting the Skylander solve it for you.
