Compatibility

Lightning Rod from the Giants series can also be used in Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure and Skylanders: SWAP Force. However, he does not work in later games like Trap Team,
SuperChargers and Imaginators because this figure is specific to the titles mentioned earlier. That makes collecting and playing with these figures extra exciting and challenging!
