Though Cobra Cadabra was an assistant to The Great Mabuni, a traveling magician that performed all over Skylands, he wanted more than anything to become a magician himself. Unfortunately, the guild of Mysteriously Mad Magic Masters of Mystery, who for centuries taught all of the greatest magicians, would not permit it. And so Mabuni decided to teach the cobra himself, even through it was forbidden. They studied everything together, from vanishing acts to snake charming. But when the guild discovered this, they sent a team of magic rabbit enforcers to punish them both. Although the beastly hares were the most powerful of their kind in Skylands, Cobra Cadabra remained brave. Playing an enchanted tune on his flute, he used what he had learned to cast a spell over the rabbits and lead them away. Upon hearing this, this guild was impressed by such a display of skill, and accepted the snake charmer as a member. Soon after, Cobra Cadabra was made a member of another group—the Skylanders!

Basic Attack Notes

Magic Flute

Musical blasts can increase in range and damage when the flute is timed to the beat of the music.

Cobra Basket

Damages nearby enemies and can be upgraded to activate ten at once.

Launch Cobra!

Hold to aim the attack which passes through foes and each time it is used it creates a Cobra Basket.

Upgrade Paths

Concerto Cobra

The first two upgrades add maximum damage to the Magical Flute as well as a useful ricochet effect from Reverb Riff. With a fully powered Magic Flute, drop Cobra Baskets to slow enemies’ approach and fire off a barrage of musical blasts from mid to long range. Snake Charmer’s Solo is an interesting attack that damages foes as it passes over them and can enchant them to fight on your side. However, the enchantment is only temporary and does not work on all enemies. It takes a while to put foes under your spell so make sure you’re in a safe spot when attempting to charm them.

Master of Baskets

Basket Quintet can launch five baskets at a time, and after upgrading to ten baskets from Basket Party, they can cover the battlefield in no time. Once all ten are out, use Call and Response to shoot them and do nearly twice the damage to enemies that touch them. The first two upgrades can make a defensive barrier of baskets that can keep enemies at bay while it slowly wears them down. However, they are also powerful offensive weapons when tossed into a group of bad guys and detonated using A Tisket, A Tasket. This is a great approach for a hit and run strategy.

Press Attack 3 to launch into active Cobra Baskets to create a massive explosion. Prerequisite: Find Cobra Cadara’s Soul Gem in CH 14: Operation: Troll Rocket Steal
