Charms

Charms are collectibles in Skylanders: Giants and Skylanders: Swap Force. They grant various beneficial effects, ranging from Stat increases, to extra damage or resistances against certain enemy types. These effects apply globally, enhancing any Skylander used in-game. Unlike the rewards from Heroic Challenges, the effects of Charms are stored in the game's save file, not the Skylander Figure itself, meaning Charms are only usable in the game they originated from. In Skylanders: Superchargers, Portal Master Powers serve a similar purpose to Charms.

Charms are unlockable through purchase from Auric or Tuk, completing Battle Arenas, and, in Swap Force, by completing Bonus Missions.

There are 8 charms in Skylanders: Giants and 44 in Skylanders: Swap Force. The Swap Force charms are less individually impactful compared to their Giants counterparts, but their combined effects are more powerful than in Giants.

List of Charms in Skylanders: Giants[]

Below is a list of all of the collectible Charms in Skylanders: Giants. The order in which they are listed is the same order in which they are listed in the Charms Collection screen; they are not listed by effectiveness or potential usefulness.

If an enemy is affected by more than one of the damage-enhancing Charms, the effects of the Charms do not stack. No matter how many Charms may affect a single enemy, the damage boost is still the same.

Name	Appearance	Written Effect	Actual Effect	Acquisition
Clever Clover		Skylanders are much more likely to block an incoming attack when at low health	When a Skylander's health is at 20% or less of its Max Health, it has an increased chance of nullifying all damage taken from an attack with Armor. Oddly enough, this affects medium and large-sized enemies as well as Skylanders.	Clearing the last Arena Challenge, "The Perfect Game", in Brock's Rump Roaster Ruckus.
Bright Blade		Skylanders are much more likely to score a critical hit when at full health	When a Skylander's health is equal to its Max Health, it has an increased chance of dealing Critical Hits to enemies.	Clearing the last Arena Challenge, "You Only Live Once", in Pipsqueak's Mincemeat Mayhem.
Sparkling Sprinkles		Skylanders regain more health from eating food	From collecting regular food items, Skylanders receive over 75% more health than usual.	Clearing the last Arena Challenge, "One Shot Thrill", in Kaos' Royal Flush.
Elemental Elixir		Skylanders heal faster while in an Elemental Area that matches their element	Inside areas behind Elemental Gates, Skylanders of the same element as the zone heal faster than usual. Instead of 5 health every 4 seconds, Skylanders regain 20 health every 4 seconds while they are in these zones.	Must be purchased for 400 gold from Auric's Shop in Chapter 3.
Brawny Barbell		Giants can lift bombs and boulders more quickly	Less button presses (or remote-shakes, in the case of the Wii version) are required to pull up a large boulder or bomb from the ground with a Giant Skylander. Under the effect of this Charm, the lifting of these objects can occur almost instantly.	Must be purchased for 900 gold from Auric's Shop on the Dread-Yacht after clearing Chapter 5.
Sudsy Soap		Skylanders deal extra damage to all Troll enemies	Troll enemies take about 25% more damage than usual by Skylanders. This extra damage affects Mace Majors, Grenade Generals, D. Riveters, and Troll Stomper M5s.	Must be purchased for 5000 gold from Auric's Shop in Chapter 8.
Unerring Arrow		Skylanders deal extra damage to all large enemies	Large enemies take about 25% more damage than usual by Skylanders. This extra damage affects Bark Demons, Goliath Drows, Axecutioners, Arkeyan Shield Juggernauts, Chompy Bot 9000s, Jawbreakers, Blaze Brewers, Slobbering Mutticuses, Gargantulas, grown Trog Pinchers, and Arkeyan Duelists.

Robot Repellant		Skylanders deal extra damage to all Robot enemies	Arkeyan enemies take about 25% more damage than usual by Skylanders.
