Heroic Challenges (PetStarPlanet's games)

Heroic Challenges are a feature in the Skylanders series. They were offered by Cali in the games Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure and Skylanders: Giants. Later, they returned in Skylanders: Teamwork. In Skylanders: Teamwork, the previous challegnes were changed a bit so that upgrades don't make them harder anymore. Also, Mine areas don't give special advantages to Water Skylanders anymore.

Skylanders: Teamwork also added new Heroic Challenges for all characters from Skylanders: Swap Force, Skylanders: Trap Team and Skylanders: Teamwork. All characters from Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure unlock their original Heroic Challenges while the Series 2 exclusive challenges are now unlocked by newer Skylanders. The challenges from Spyro's Adventure are in their original order. The challenges can be unlocked with any version of the character, including variants and Minis.

Swap Force Skylanders unlock the challenges for both halves. Teamwork Skylanders unlock the challenges of both characters.

Swap Force Skylanders only gain stats for their top halves.
