![]() ![]() His catchphrase is shared by one of Bumble Blast's battle cries."A real buzz worthy name!" - when given a nickname."I could always use another cap" - when wearing a hat."My numbers are taking off!" - when checking out stats."Payday!" - when opening a treasure chest.Charged Spit (requires level: 9): Hold (Y) to charge the attack and fire bigger spit.Buzz Spin (requires level: 6): Hold (X) to spin in a circle and smash the ground.Acid Cloud (requires level: 3): An Acid Cloud is spawned after the acid spit collides with something, and deals damage.Zoom Zoom (Secondary Attack): Press (X) to dash aggressively towards the enemy.Acid Spit (Primary Attack): Press (Y) to spit acid directly in front.Skylanders can use abilities depending on their level. While charging up the attack damages him, he also releases apples during the charge, picking them up restores some of the HP lost.ĭespite having no flight upgrade in the game, High Five is able to fly, but only for a short while. ![]() When further upgraded, High Five can perform a powerful Fly Slam attack that can be done in the air, and even suck enemies in while charging it. As his secondary attack, High Five can dash across the ground with his super speed and leave enemies spinning while damaging them. These Poison Pellets can leave behind Poison Clouds that damages enemies when upgraded further. ![]() High Five can fire a stream of Poison Pellets from his mouth, even in rapid fire. Even more importantly, he was made a Skylander, where he now helps protect Skylands from any evildoers. For his actions, High Five was given the Trophy of Sparx. He quickly took action, jumping into the race and using his amazing flying skills to weave and dodge his way to the front of the pack, where he caught up to the trolls and brought them down. One year, during the biggest racing event of the season, High Five learned that the Troll Racing Team had stolen the valuable trophy and were going to use the race to cover their escape. Instead, he was forced to watch from the sidelines as his four older brothers competed for the coveted Trophy of Sparx, which legend has said holds magical properties. But as the fifth son of the Royal High Flying Dragonflies, he was not allowed to enter any of the racing tournaments that took place each year because of his age. High Five is one of the most skilled sky racers of all the dragonflies. When danger calls, he is the first to fly into battle. High Five is full of energy and is super fast. Ĭoncept art of High Five "Buzzerker" by I-Wei Huang Background Personality Īs part of a naming contest held by Frito-Lay, Buzzerker's name was changed to High Five by Phylicia Nakamoto from Elk Grove, California. After finalization, High Five became a great Skylander for the more advanced min-maxer players out there. Using berserker mechanics, High Five would actually get stronger and faster the lower his HP was and the max charged version of his Overdrive Fly Slam attack did the highest amount of damage seen in a Skylander game to date (the playable Doom Raider bosses and especially Kaos would make short work of those damage numbers however but that was justified by their short-lived nature). To offset this, he made the cost temporary spawning apples that would restore High Five's health after his attack, but restoring your health was optional. Nat knew people wouldn't enjoy the idea of spending HP to do more damage. It was controversial to have in a kids game but Nat sought to make deep gameplay experiences even in kids titles. High Five's moveset really became about high risk high reward, which was demonstrated in his Buzzerker Overdrive upgrade. These would create a cloud of poison gas that grew bigger in size but dissipated in damage. For the primary projectiles, Nat revisited the unfulfilled Mycon Plasma Spore projectiles that Wrecking Ball was originally supposed to have. ![]() As a dragon(fly), Nat Loh felt compelled to keep to breath weapons, and the racer 5 number on High Five's head seemed to imply speed so Nat put two abilities he thought he would never put together for fear it would be too overpowered - fast projectiles and fast dashing - and made them High Five's moveset. High Five came to gameplay designer Nah Loh as finished concept art. High Five was originally named " Buzzerker" during development. ![]()
