The Skylanders: SuperChargers - Hurricane Jet-Vac, Jet Stream Dual Pack gives players the chance to pick up a SuperCharged pair that not only nets the latest rendition of Jet Vac, but also his signature vehicle, Jet Stream, a plane that not only fits Hurricane Jet-Vac's visual cues, but also has attacks that compliment the Skylander's new set of abilities.
Hurricane Jet-Vac's initial attacks are Shooting the Breeze and Jet Turbine Vacuum. The first lets him shoot a blade that can bounce off of enemies, while the other uses the secondary attack button to suck in enemies and then shoot them back out.
Jet-Vac's extra attack is a flying kick called Somer-Assault. It not only damages the enemy that Jet-Vac lands on, but any along his path also take damage. This ability can be upgraded to do more damage, and the blade attack can be enhanced to bounce off of more enemies while the vacuum ability can eventually unleash a hurricane to dole out more damage in a bigger area.
Hurricane Jet-Vac's upgrade paths will either enhance his Somer-Assault attacks or his gun-based moves. The first branch will add damage to enemies behind Jet-Vac when he launches into his Somer-Assault ability. The next upgrade on this track will cause more damage to the enemies that he finally lands on and the last option lets him finish the attack with a double flip and unleash even more pain.
The other branch starts off with the ability to create a large hurricane that you can shoot your blades into so that they do even more damage. The second upgrade down this path makes the hurricanes explode before they disappear, while the last one lets you shoot a blade while you have an enemy sucked up.
Hurricane Jet-Vac's Soul Gem ability lets the sucked-up enemy bounce around the battlefield like the blades when they are shot out, and as an added bonus, they will explode just before coming to a stop.
Personally, I found myself tending more towards Jet Vac's gun-based attacks, especially since the bouncing blades will deal out a lot of damage on their own if you find yourself surrounded by many enemies.
