Special 3s can be the strongest or fastest units, possessing a flight power that allows them to move over water, resources and enemy units. In his default stage, he wears a torn up business suit; in his first upgrade, he leads two other Zombie units; and in his second upgrade, he loses his two extra units and glows. They are useful for forest-clear and light base combat or defense and are the first ones available in each story. Hero Unit: Every faction and sub-faction has a hero unit with their own unique magic abilities and each storyline has an even more special hero unit should you collect all of the minikits. They are available later on in each story, and one is available for obtaining all minikits of act 2 in each story.

Half of the time this feels like a strategic challenge, while the rest simply seem like a consequence of poor AI and collision detection. In his default stage, he wears a standard police uniform with shades and a nightstick; in his first upgrade, his police uniform is replaced with a blue-and-green agent outfit (turning him into Agent Chase, a minifigure from another theme); and in his second upgrade, he rides inside a police car.

Not to mention how inaccurate the touch screen is when selecting multiple units and that the slightest obstacle makes units ignore their commands and just stand still.

In his default stage, he wears his diving suit; in his first upgrade, he wears his standard Ninja suit; and in his second upgrade, he wears his DX Ninja suit while using the Shurikens of Ice. GamesRadar+'s Jason Kramer said "The real-time strategy component is great for beginners, but may come off as a bore for seasoned players and anyone who prefers fast-paced action over strategic planning. The best levels borrow their gameplay from Battle Mode, but the majority of stages – about 20 in all – exist in a strange world between an adventure game and an RTS, making combat tedious and repetitive. The player can upgrade their units depending on the amount of Yellow Bricks one has gathered and the point of the game the player is at.However, Krazi leads them into several traps on the way, though they arrive at the location regardless. Like so many RTS games out there on the market, the actual "strategy" element really can lose its meaning as the game often descends into a unit spam-fest. Different armies have their areas of expertise, and the story modes reflect this, but where it gets fun is when players get to mix and match the armies for the free play or multiplayer. LEGO sets, and I mean the real sets, not the ones based on Harry Potter, have always been about epic battles. Right as Samukai is about to lose, Lord Garmadon shoots a small sphere of energy at Sensei Wu, which throws him off and gives Samukai the upper hand.
