Eruptor is a fire core from Spyro’s adventure. His primary attack is to throw a lump of lava in an arc in front of him, and his secondary attack is to erupt, and leave a damaging pool of lava in a circle around him. His tertiary is to spit out a magma ball that rolls around. His upgrade paths enhance his primary lava lob and his eruption. Both of his powers are mediocre without upgrades, so you should really find out which one you use more often before you pick a path for him, and even then you still have to use both. That said, I would take the lava lob path because it increases the range and damage of the lava lob, and even without upgrades, the eruption is usable as a backup. He is what i call a committing versatile skylander, meaning that once you take him down an upgrade path, he goes from true versatile, to longrange vers or shortrange vers. He’s good if you prefer either strict longrangers or strict shortrangers, and want to try something new without worrying that you’ll hate him. That said, I do not understand the popularity of Eruptor. He has struck me as an extremely basic, mediocre skylander. There are many characters more fun to play, with varying levels of complexity. Everything he can do, at least one other skylander can do better. Overall: 3/10. Just didn't grab my attention. There are better fires, better shortrangers, better everything. I do not understand how this guy got a series 3 instead of many others taking that space.
If you want to play co-op, Eruptor would play well with a strict shortranger (like Stealth Elf or Stump Smash) or a strict longranger (like Lightning Rod, Hex, or Flameslinger)
