How often do you use your magic items? [CLOSED]

Sort of created this as a sister forum to: //forum.darkspyro.net/spyro/viewposts.php?topic=129632

I was recently replaying SSA in preparation for Imaginators [I plan on marathoning through all 5 games], and looked into my box off SSA figures (I can't decide weither to divide them out by game or element). I realized that I never remember I have the magic items, and often forget to use them. Stuff like Ghost Swords, Sky Iron Shield, or even Sparx. Which is a real shame as they can be helpful. But honestly the only time I remember using them is 5 years ago to help get through the time trails. Winged Boots and Ghost Swords [On the minion Boss Fights] being the most useful.

So what about you guys? Do you constantly forget about your magic items, and why? Are they just forgetful compared to the characters? Or does it have to with storage? [Or a little of both?]

I used my Hand of Fate and Piggy Bank at first, but they kinda made it too easy. When just going quickly through a level it was fine but I usually take my time.

Rarely.

I use Anvil Rain on the "You Break It, You Buy It" heroic challenge, and Sky Diamond to farm money in Swap Force, but otherwise, they sit there just waiting to be added to the collection in the next game and then do nothing.

This, along with using the Winged Boots item when using Chomp Chest to farm for money in the first level of Trap Team.

I usually forget I have them! smilie

Though in boss fights I sometimes run upstairs to my bedroom to grab my healing potion. It's saved me many times.

Depends on the game type . Normal game usually I only play with Skylanders

I make use of just about all magic Items and Battle pack weapons when I play Nightmare Mode or Arena challenges.

I used to use them ALL the time. But that was back when I had around 20-30 Skylanders. Now that I've recently broke 70...eh, not so much. Now that everyone's in the higher levels thanks to four games worth of experience, I just don't find them practical. I still like the designs, and they come in handy for stuff like arena modes. I guess I'm a little discouraged too by their now-obsolescence.

I used too use a few of them a lot for challenge modes and boss levels.

I miss the potion, the sky shield and the time twister

SA & Giants are the best skylanders games. I miss the old style.

Sky diamond and hidden treasure were the most useful to upgrade your Skylanders. I loved what the expansion packs used to do: Dragon's Peak and so on used to explode like crazy!

But, yeah, I forget they exist most times.

...hey, wait, you do know they are useful in Superchargers, right? They are legendary treasures that can be placed in the academy for lots of coins. you can only cash in on them once daily, though.

Hardly ever use them except to unlock levels and scan for collections
